If you have consen­ted to data proces­sing, we will process your perso­nal data on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 Para. 2 lit. a GDPR, provi­ded that special catego­ries of data are proces­sed in accordance with Art. 9 Para. 1 GDPR.

Recipi­ents of perso­nal data

As part of our business activi­ties, we work with various exter­nal bodies. In some cases, it is also neces­sary to trans­mit perso­nal data to these exter­nal bodies. We only pass on perso­nal data to exter­nal bodies if this is neces­sary to fulfill a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. passing on data to tax autho­ri­ties), if we have a legiti­mate interest in passing on the data in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR or if another legal basis allows the data to be passed on. When using contract proces­sors, we only pass on our custo­mers’ perso­nal data on the basis of a valid contract for order proces­sing. In the case of joint proces­sing, a contract for joint proces­sing is concluded.

Revoca­tion of your consent to data processing

Many data proces­sing opera­ti­ons are only possi­ble with your express consent. You can revoke your consent at any time. The legality of the data proces­sing carried out up to the time of revoca­tion remains unaffec­ted by the revocation.

Right to object to data collec­tion in special cases and to direct adver­ti­sing (Article 21 GDPR)

IF DATA PROCES­SING IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6 PARAGRAPH 1 LIT. E OR 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 PROFIL­ING BASED ON THESE PROVI­SI­ONS. THE RESPEC­TIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCES­SING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSO­NAL DATA, UNLESS WE CAN PROVE COMPEL­LING LEGITI­MATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCES­SING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR THE PROCES­SING IS FOR THE PURPOSE OF ASSER­TING, EXERCIS­ING OR DEFEN­DING LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJEC­TION PURSU­ANT TO ART. 21 PARA. 1 GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSO­NAL DATA IS PROCES­SED IN ORDER TO CARRY OUT DIRECT MARKE­TING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCES­SING OF PERSO­NAL DATA CONCER­NING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF TO OBJECT TO SUCH ADVER­TI­SING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFIL­ING IN SO FAR AS IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT ADVER­TI­SING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSO­NAL DATA WILL SUBSE­QUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPO­SES OF DIRECT ADVER­TI­SING (OBJEC­TION ACCOR­DING TO ART. 21 PARA. 2 GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with the compe­tent super­vi­sory authority 

In the event of viola­ti­ons of the GDPR, those affec­ted have the right to lodge a complaint with a super­vi­sory autho­rity, in parti­cu­lar in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged viola­tion. The right to lodge a complaint is without preju­dice to other adminis­tra­tive or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability 

You have the right to have data that we process automa­ti­cally on the basis of your consent or in fulfill­ment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request that the data be trans­fer­red directly to another respon­si­ble party, this will only be done if it is techni­cally feasible.

Infor­ma­tion, correc­tion and deletion

Within the frame­work of the appli­ca­ble legal provi­si­ons, you have the right at any time to obtain free infor­ma­tion about your stored perso­nal data, its origin and recipi­ent and the purpose of data proces­sing and, if appli­ca­ble, a right to correc­tion or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time about this and other questi­ons on the subject of perso­nal data.

Right to restric­tion of processing

You have the right to request that the proces­sing of your perso­nal data be restric­ted. You can contact us at any time to do so. The right to restric­tion of proces­sing exists in the follo­wing cases:

  • If you dispute the accuracy of your perso­nal data stored by us, we usually need time to check this. For the duration of the review, 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 can request that the data proces­sing be restric­ted instead of deleted.
  • If we no longer need your perso­nal data, but you require it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request that the proces­sing of your perso­nal data be restric­ted instead of deleted.
  • If you have lodged an objec­tion in accordance with Art. 21 Para. 1 GDPR, 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 that the proces­sing of your perso­nal data be restricted.

If you have restric­ted the proces­sing of your perso­nal data, these data may — with the excep­tion of their storage — only be proces­sed with your consent or for the purpose of asser­ting, exercis­ing or defen­ding legal claims or protec­ting 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 that you send to us as the site opera­tor. You can recognize an encrypted connec­tion by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

If SSL or TLS encryp­tion is activa­ted, the data that you send to us cannot be read by third parties.

4. Data collec­tion on this website

Contact form

If you send us enqui­ries using the contact form, your details from the enquiry form, inclu­ding the contact details you provi­ded there, will be stored by us for the purpose of proces­sing your enquiry and in the event of follow-up questi­ons. We will not pass this data on without your consent.

This data is proces­sed on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR, provi­ded that your enquiry is related to the fulfill­ment of a contract or is neces­sary to carry out pre-contractual measu­res. In all other cases, the proces­sing is based on our legiti­mate interest in the effec­tive proces­sing of the enqui­ries addres­sed to us (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this was reques­ted; the consent can be revoked at any time.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your enquiry has been proces­sed). Manda­tory legal provi­si­ons — in parti­cu­lar reten­tion periods — remain unaffected.

5. Analy­sis tools and advertising 

Matomo

This website uses the open source web analy­sis service Matomo.

With the help of Matomo, we are able to collect and analyze data about the use of our website by website visitors. This enables us to find out, among other things, when which page views were made and which region they come from. We also record various log files (e.g. IP address, refer­rer, browsers and opera­ting systems used) and can measure whether our website visitors carry out certain actions (e.g. clicks, purcha­ses, etc.). This analy­sis tool is used on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website opera­tor has a legiti­mate interest in analy­zing user behavior in order to optimize both its website and its adver­ti­sing. If consent has been reques­ted, proces­sing will take place exclu­si­vely on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR and Section 25 Para. 1 TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to infor­ma­tion in the user’s device (e.g. device finger­prin­ting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

You have the option of preven­ting the actions you take here from being analy­sed and linked. This will protect your privacy, but will also prevent the owner from learning from your actions and impro­ving usabi­lity for you and other users.
