If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data based on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR if special categories of data are processed according to Art. 9(1) GDPR. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also based on Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR.

The relevant legal bases in each individual case 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. This may involve the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only share personal data with third parties if it is necessary for contract fulfillment, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g., disclosure to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the data transfer. When using processors, we only share personal data based on a valid processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke 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 Advertising (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 FOR REASONS ARISING FROM 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 YOUR PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS THAT OVERRIDE 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 SUCH PROCESSING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint with a Supervisory Authority

If you believe that your rights under the GDPR have been violated, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the EU member state of your habitual residence, your place of work, or the place of the alleged violation. This right exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive the data that we process based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of data to another controller, this will only be done where technically feasible.

Right to Access, Rectification, and Erasure

Within the scope of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to free access to your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing at any time. You also have the right to have this data corrected or deleted. You can contact us at any time with questions regarding your personal data.

Right to Restriction of Processing

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

  • If you contest the accuracy of your personal data held by us, we typically need time to verify this. During the verification period, you have the right to request restriction of processing.
  • If the processing is unlawful, you may request the restriction of use instead of deletion.
  • If we no longer need your data, but you need it to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you have the right to request restriction instead of deletion.
  • If you have objected under Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your and our interests. Until it is determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of processing.

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

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, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the address line of your browser changing from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock icon in your browser bar.
When SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Objection to Promotional Emails

We hereby object to the use of contact data published as part of the legal notice obligation for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and information materials. The operators of these pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited promotional information, such as spam emails.

4. Data Collection on This Website

Cookies

Our websites use 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 ends. Persistent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them or your browser deletes them automatically.
Cookies can originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (third-party cookies). Third-party cookies allow the integration of certain services from third-party companies (e.g., cookies for payment processing).

Cookies serve various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., shopping cart or video display). Other cookies are used to evaluate user behavior or for advertising purposes.

Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions you have requested (e.g., shopping cart), or to optimize the website (e.g., cookies for web audience measurement) are stored based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, 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 services. If consent was requested for storing cookies and similar technologies, processing takes place exclusively based on this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG); the consent can be revoked at any time.

You can configure your browser to inform you about cookie placement and allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude acceptance of cookies in certain cases or in general, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

You can find more information on which cookies and services are used on this website in this privacy policy.

Use of the Consent Management Tool “Pixelmate”

Our website uses the consent management tool “Pixelmate”, a plugin by Christian Wedel (https://wp-dsgvo-plugin.com), to ensure GDPR-compliant integration of services such as Google Analytics or Facebook Pixel. Pixelmate allows visitors to actively agree to or decline the use of cookies and tracking technologies.
When visiting our website, a cookie is set that stores the decision made by the user regarding cookie usage. This data is not shared with third parties and is solely used to document your decision.

The processing is based on Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR to fulfill our legal obligation to obtain consent for the use of non-essential cookies.

Further information about Pixelmate is available at:

Server Log Files

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

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

These data are not merged with other data sources.

The collection of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and the optimization of their website – for this, the server log files must be collected.

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

The processing of these data is based on Art. 6(1)(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, the 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 it has been requested; consent can be withdrawn 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 your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

Inquiry by Email, Phone, or Fax

If you contact us by email, phone, or fax, 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 share this data without your consent.

The processing of these data is based on Art. 6(1)(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, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively handling the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if it has been requested; consent can be withdrawn at any time.

The data you send to 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 your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

5. Plugins and Tools

YouTube with Enhanced Privacy Mode

This website integrates videos from the YouTube website. The operator of the site is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

When you visit one of our pages with an embedded YouTube video, a connection to YouTube’s servers is established. In the process, the YouTube server is informed about which of our pages you visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to associate your browsing behavior directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

We use YouTube in enhanced privacy mode. According to YouTube, videos played in enhanced privacy mode are not used to personalize browsing on YouTube. Ads shown in enhanced privacy mode are also not personalized. No cookies are set in enhanced privacy mode. However, so-called local storage elements are stored in the user’s browser, which may contain personal data and can be used for recognition purposes. Details on enhanced privacy mode can be found here:
https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/171780.

Additional data processing operations may be triggered after activating a YouTube video, over which we have no control.

The use of YouTube is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If appropriate consent has been requested, processing is carried out solely based on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g., device fingerprinting) as defined by the TDDDG. The consent can be revoked at any time.
