If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR or, for special categories of data, Art. 9 (2)(a) GDPR.
If you have expressly consented to the transfer of personal data to third countries, processing also takes place under Art. 49 (1)(a) GDPR.

Recipients of Personal Data

Within our business operations, we collaborate with various external parties.
This may include the transfer of personal data to such third parties.
We only share personal data when necessary for contract fulfillment, when required by law (e.g. to tax authorities),
when there is a legitimate interest under Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR, or when another legal basis allows such transfer.
If we use data processors, we share customer data only under a valid Data Processing Agreement.
In cases of joint processing, a corresponding Joint-Controller Agreement is established.

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent.
You may revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.
The lawfulness of processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected.

Right to Object to Data Processing in Special Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6 (1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA;
THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS.
THE RELEVANT LEGAL BASIS FOR EACH PROCESSING OPERATION 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 THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 (1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA ARE PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR SUCH ADVERTISING;
THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH DIRECT MARKETING.

Right to Lodge a Complaint with a Supervisory Authority

In the event of a breach of the GDPR, data subjects 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 infringement.
The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive data that we process automatically based on your consent or in performance of a contract,
in a commonly used, machine-readable format.
You also have the right to have this data transmitted directly to another controller, where technically feasible.

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, as well as the right to request rectification or erasure of this data.
You can contact us at any time regarding these rights or for further questions concerning personal data.

Right to Restrict Processing

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

If you contest the accuracy of your personal data, we will need time to verify this. During the verification period, you have the right to restrict processing.
If processing is unlawful, you may request restriction instead of deletion.
If we no longer need your data, but you require it to exercise, defend, or establish legal claims.
If you have objected under Art. 21 (1) GDPR, and it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail.

If processing is restricted, such data — apart from storage — may only be processed with your consent
or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims,
or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person,
or for important public interests of the European Union or a Member State.

such as orders or inquiries you send to us as the site operator, this page uses SSL or TLS encryption.

Cookies

Our websites use so-called “cookies.” Cookies are small data files that do not cause any harm to 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.
Persistent cookies remain stored until you delete them yourself or automatic deletion takes place via your web browser.

In some cases, third-party cookies may also be stored on your device when you enter our site (third-party cookies).
These enable us or you to use certain services of the third-party company (e.g. cookies for payment services or analytics tools).

Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website features would not function without them (e.g. the shopping cart or language settings).
Other cookies are used to analyze user behavior or display advertising.

Cookies that are necessary to carry out electronic communication processes or to provide certain functions you have requested (e.g. the contact form)

insofar as the consent also includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g. via device fingerprinting).
Consent can be revoked at any time.

You can configure your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and to allow cookies only in individual cases,
to exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases, or to generally exclude them, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser.
Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Where third-party cookies or cookies for analytical purposes are used, we will inform you separately in this Privacy Policy and, if necessary, request your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR,
if your request relates to the performance of a contract or is necessary for pre-contractual measures.
In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively handling inquiries (Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR)
or on your consent (Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR), if this has been requested.
You may revoke your consent 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 inquiry has been processed).
Mandatory legal provisions — in particular retention periods — remain unaffected.

5. Analytics Tools and Advertising

Google Analytics

This website uses features of the web analytics service Google Analytics.

Google Analytics uses technologies that enable the recognition of the user for the purpose of analyzing user behavior (e.g. cookies or device fingerprinting).

The use of this service is based on your consent under Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG.
