Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke a consent you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

E OR F DSGVO, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA AT ANY TIME FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, INCLUDING ANY PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY STATEMENT. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA, UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 ABS. 1 DSGVO).

This right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive the data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, either handed over to you or transferred to a third party, in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent that it is 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, their origin and recipients, the purpose of data processing, and, if applicable, the right to correction or deletion of this data at any time.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data. For this purpose, you can contact us at any time. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

• If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. During the verification period, you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data.
• If the processing of your personal data has happened/happens unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
• If we no longer need your personal data, but you require them for the exercise, defense, or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
• If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) DSGVO, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data may – aside from their storage – only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, 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.

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL/TLS encryption.

4. Data Collection on this Website

Cookies

Our websites use so-called 'cookies.' Cookies are small data packets that do not cause any harm to your device. They are either temporarily stored for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or an automatic deletion occurs through your web browser.

Cookies can come from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services from third-party companies within websites (e.g., cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies serve various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies may be used to analyze user behavior or for advertising purposes.

Cookies that are necessary for the electronic communication process, the provision of certain functions you desire (e.g., shopping cart function), or the optimization of the website (e.g., cookies for measuring web audience) are stored based on Art. 6(1)(f) DSGVO, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent for the storage of cookies and similar recognition technologies has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively based on this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) DSGVO and § 25(1) TTDSG); the consent can be revoked at any time.

You can configure your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. The functionality of this website may be limited when cookies are deactivated. You can find information about the cookies and services used on this website in this privacy policy.

Server Log Files

The provider of the pages collects and stores information automatically in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

• Browser type and browser version
• Operating system used
• Referrer URL
• Hostname of the accessing computer
• Time of the server request
• IP address

No merging of this data with other data sources is performed. The collection of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(f) DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of its website – for this purpose, the server log files must be recorded.

Contact form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your information from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO, insofar as your request is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of inquiries directed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO) if it has been requested; consent can be revoked at any time.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after completing the processing of your inquiry). Mandatory legal provisions – especially retention periods – remain unaffected.

Inquiry by Email or Phone

If you contact us by email or phone, your inquiry, including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not disclose this information without your consent. The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO (General Data Protection Regulation), in case your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of inquiries directed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO), if requested; the consent can be revoked at any time.

The data you send us via contact inquiries will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after completing your request).
