4. Your Rights under the GDPR
General Legal Bases for Data Processing on this Website
If you have given your consent to data processing, we process your personal data based on Art. 6(1) (lit. a) GDPR or, if applicable, Art. 9(2) (lit. a) GDPR. In the case of express consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also based on Art. 49(1) (lit. a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your end device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), the processing is also based on § 25(1) TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time.
If your data is necessary for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1) (lit. b) GDPR. Furthermore, if the processing is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation, we base it on Art. 6(1) (lit. c) GDPR. The data processing may also be based on our legitimate interest according to Art. 6(1) (lit. f) GDPR. The specific legal basis applicable in each case is explained in the following sections of this privacy policy.
Recipients of Personal Data
As part of our business operations, we work with various external parties. In some cases, this also involves the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only share personal data with third parties when it is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract, we are legally obliged to do so, we have a legitimate interest in the disclosure, or if another legal basis permits the data transfer. When using data processors, we only share personal data based on a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement will be concluded.
Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may revoke your previously given consent at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected.
Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6(1) (LIT. E) OR (LIT. F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA AT ANY TIME FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO ANY PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED IS EXPLAINED IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS OR THE PROCESSING SERVES TO ASSERT, EXERCISE, OR DEFEND LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21(1) GDPR).
IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR SUCH MARKETING. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21(2) GDPR).
Right to Lodge a Complaint with a Supervisory Authority
In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement. This right exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to Data Portability
You have the right to have data which we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible.
Information, Correction, and Deletion
Within the framework of applicable legal provisions, you have the right to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient, and the purpose of data processing and, if applicable, a right to rectification or deletion of this data. For this purpose and for any further questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at any time.
Right to Restrict Processing
You have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time to exercise this right. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
- If you contest the accuracy of your personal data held by us, we usually need time to verify this. During the verification period, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.
- If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
- If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing instead of deletion.
- If you have objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your and our interests. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data may — apart from being stored — only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.
SSL or TLS Encryption
This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change in the address line of the browser from http:// to https:// and the lock icon in your browser line.
When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
5. Data Collection on the Website
Cookies
Our website uses so-called “cookies.” Cookies are small data packets that do not harm your device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit. Persistent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them manually or your web browser deletes them automatically.
Cookies can be set by us (first-party cookies) or by third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain third-party services within the website (e.g., payment services).
Cookies serve various purposes. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., shopping cart functionality or video display). Other cookies may be used to analyze user behavior or for advertising purposes.
Cookies required to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions requested by you (e.g., for the shopping cart), or to optimize the website (e.g., audience measurement cookies) are stored based on Art. 6(1) (lit. f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is stated. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of services.
Where consent has been requested for cookie storage or access to information on your device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), processing is based exclusively on this consent (Art. 6(1) (lit. a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG). Consent can be withdrawn at any time.
You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set and to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general, and to enable the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
You can find more details on cookies and services used in this Privacy Policy.
Server Log Files
The provider of the website automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser transmits to us automatically. These include:
- Browser type and browser version
- Operating system used
- Referrer URL
- Hostname of the accessing computer
- Time of the server request
- IP address
This data is not merged with other data sources. The collection of this data is based on Art. 6(1) (lit. f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of the website — for this, the server log files must be collected.
Contact Form
If you send us inquiries via the contact form, the information you provide in the form, including the contact details you entered, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing your inquiry and for any follow-up questions. We do not share this data without your consent.
The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1) (lit. b) GDPR if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries (Art. 6(1) (lit. f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1) (lit. a) GDPR) if requested. Consent can be withdrawn at any time.
The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions — especially retention periods — remain unaffected.
Request by Email, Phone or Fax
If you contact us by email, telephone, or fax, your request, including all resulting personal data (name, request), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your inquiry. We do not share this data without your consent.
Processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1) (lit. b) GDPR if your inquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest (Art. 6(1) (lit. f) GDPR) or your consent (Art. 6(1) (lit. a) GDPR), if requested. Consent can be withdrawn at any time.
The data you send us via contact requests will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Mandatory legal requirements — especially retention obligations — remain unaffected.
