Recipients of Personal Data

In the course of our business activities, we work with various external parties. This may require sharing personal data with these external parties. We share personal data only when necessary for contract fulfillment, when legally required (e.g., data transfer to tax authorities), or when there is a legitimate interest under Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f DSGVO. Data is also shared based on consent under Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a DSGVO or when other legal grounds permit data transfer. When using contracted data processors, we share personal data of our customers only based on a valid contract. In cases of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is in place.

Revocation of 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 data processing before the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and Direct Advertising (Art. 21 DSGVO)

If data processing is based on Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. 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. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that outweigh your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing is for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection under Art. 21 Abs. 1 DSGVO).

If your personal data is processed for direct advertising, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such advertising. This includes profiling related to direct advertising. If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for direct advertising purposes (objection under Art. 21 Abs. 2 DSGVO).

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

In case of violations of the DSGVO, affected persons 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. 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, which we process based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, handed over to you or a third party in a standard, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another responsible party, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible.

Information, Correction, and Deletion

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

Right to Restrict Data Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restrict processing applies in the following cases:

If you dispute the accuracy of your stored personal data, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If the processing of your personal data was/is done unlawfully, you can 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 the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.

If you have filed an objection under Art. 21 Abs. 1 DSGVO, a balance must be made between your and our interests. As long as it is not clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data – apart from being stored – may only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a member state.

Permanent cookies remain on your device until you delete them or they are automatically deleted by your web browser.

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

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

Cookies that are necessary to carry out electronic communication or to provide certain functions you desire (e.g., for the shopping cart) or to optimize the website (e.g., cookies to measure web audience) are stored based on Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to store cookies has been requested, the respective cookies are stored exclusively based on this consent (Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a DSGVO and § 25 Abs. 1 TTDSG); consent can be revoked at any time.

Consent with Cookie Notice & Compliance

Our website uses the Cookie Notice & Compliance for GDPR technology to obtain your consent to store certain cookies on your device and to document this in a data protection-compliant manner.

Cookie Notice & Compliance for GDPR is installed locally on our servers, so no connection to servers of third parties is established. Cookie Notice & Compliance for GDPR stores a cookie in your browser to be able to allocate the consent given or its revocation to you. The data collected in this way is stored until you request us to delete it, delete the consent cookie yourself, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Mandatory legal retention periods remain unaffected.

The use of Cookie Notice & Compliance for GDPR is based on obtaining legally required consent for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. c DSGVO.

In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f DSGVO) or on your consent (Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a DSGVO) if this has been requested; consent can be revoked at any time.

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

In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f DSGVO) or on your consent (Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a DSGVO) if this has been requested; consent can be revoked at any time.

The data you send us via contact requests remains with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to store it, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed).

Google Analytics

This website uses features of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Analytics enables the website operator to analyze the behavior of website visitors. The website operator receives various usage data, such as page views, duration of visits, operating systems used, and the origin of the user. This data is assigned to the respective device of the user. An assignment to a user ID does not take place.

In addition, Google Analytics can record your mouse and scroll movements and clicks, among other things. Google Analytics also uses various modeling approaches to complement the collected data and uses machine learning technologies for data analysis.

Google Analytics uses technologies that allow the recognition of the user for the purpose of analyzing user behavior (e.g., cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google about your use of this website is generally transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

The use of this service is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a DSGVO and § 25 Abs. 1 TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

The data transfer to the USA is based on the standard contractual clauses of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/.

IP Anonymization

We have activated the IP anonymization feature on this website. This means that your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or other parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, compile reports on website activity, and provide other services related to website and internet usage for the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
