When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data refers to any information that can be used to identify you personally.

This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and for what purposes.

Please note that data transmission over the internet (e.g. communication by email) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Data Retention Period

Unless a more specific retention period is stated in this Privacy Policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for which it was collected no longer applies.

If you submit a legitimate request for deletion or withdraw your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for retaining it (e.g. retention periods required under tax or commercial law).

In such cases, the data will be deleted once these reasons no longer apply.

General Information on the Legal Bases for Data Processing on This Website

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR if special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9(1) GDPR are processed.

In the event of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also based on Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR.

If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your device (e.g. through device fingerprinting), data processing is additionally based on Section 25(1) TDDDG. Consent may be withdrawn at any time.

If your data is required for the performance of a contract or for taking steps prior to entering into a contract, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

Furthermore, we process your data if this is necessary to comply with a legal obligation under Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.

Data processing may also be based on our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

The specific legal bases applicable in individual cases are explained in the following sections of this Privacy Policy.

Recipients of Personal Data

As part of our business activities, we work with various external parties. In some cases, this requires the transfer of personal data to these parties.

We only disclose personal data to external parties if this is necessary for the performance of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. disclosure of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in disclosure pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits such disclosure.

When using data processors, we only disclose our customers' personal data on the basis of a valid Data Processing Agreement.

In cases of joint processing, an agreement on joint controllership is concluded.

Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent.

You may withdraw consent that you have already given at any time.

The lawfulness of data processing carried out before the withdrawal 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)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS.

THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY.

IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS THE PERSONAL DATA CONCERNED UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR UNLESS THE PROCESSING IS NECESSARY FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO 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 YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR SUCH MARKETING. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING.

IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent 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 the place of the alleged infringement.

This right exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in the performance of a contract in a commonly used, machine-readable format, or to have it transferred to a third party.

If you request the direct transfer of data to another controller, this will only be carried out where technically feasible.

Right of Access, Rectification, and Erasure

Within the framework of applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain information free of charge about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing.

You may also have the right to request the rectification or erasure of this data.

You may contact us at any time regarding these or any other questions concerning personal data.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time to exercise this right.

The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:

• If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need time to verify this. During the verification period, you have the right to request the restriction of processing.

• If the processing of your personal data was or is unlawful, you may request the restriction of processing instead of erasure.

• If we no longer need your personal data but you require it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing instead of erasure.

• If you have objected pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. Until it has been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data.

If the processing of your personal data has been restricted, such data may, apart from storage, only be processed with your consent, for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, 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.

Our website uses so-called "cookies". Cookies are small data files that do not cause any damage to your device.

They are stored on your device either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies).

Session cookies are automatically deleted when you leave our website. Persistent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or they are automatically deleted by your web browser.

Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services provided by third parties into websites (e.g. cookies used to process payment services).

Cookies serve various purposes. Many cookies are technically necessary because 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 that are necessary for electronic communication, for providing certain functions requested by you (e.g. shopping cart functionality), or for optimizing the website (e.g. cookies used to measure website audiences) (essential cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified.

The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing essential cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services.

If consent has been requested for the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG). Consent may be withdrawn at any time.

You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set, to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or generally, and to enable the automatic deletion of cookies when closing your browser.

Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

If additional cookies and services are used on this website, you can find information about them in this Privacy Policy.

Inquiries by Email, Telephone, or Fax

If you contact us by email, telephone, or fax, your inquiry, including all personal data arising from it (name, inquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request.

We will not disclose this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for taking steps prior to entering into a contract.

In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively handling inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), if such consent has been requested. Consent may be withdrawn at any time.

The data you send us through contact inquiries will remain with us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your inquiry has been fully processed).

Mandatory statutory provisions, particularly statutory retention periods, remain unaffected.
