Unless a more specific storage period is stated within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you request deletion or withdraw your consent to processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons to retain your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial retention periods). In the latter case, deletion will take place once these reasons no longer apply.

General Legal Bases for Data Processing on This Website

If you have given your consent to the processing of your personal data, we process it based on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR if special categories of data are processed as defined in Art. 9(1) GDPR. If you explicitly consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, the processing is also based on Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR.

Consent can be withdrawn at any time.

If your data is required for the performance of a contract or for pre-contractual measures, we process it based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, if processing is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation, it is based on Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Data processing may also be based on our legitimate interest according to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The relevant legal basis in each individual case is explained in the sections of this privacy policy below.

Recipients of Personal Data

As part of our business operations, we work with various external service providers. In some cases, this also involves the transmission of personal data to these external parties. We only share personal data with external parties if:

• it is necessary to fulfill a contract,

• we are legally obligated to do so (e.g., to tax authorities),

• we have a legitimate interest in the sharing (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR), or

• if another legal basis permits the data transfer.

If we use data processors, we only share personal data with them based on a valid data processing agreement. In cases of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time. The legality 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 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 for processing is explained in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your affected personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection under Art. 21(1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THIS PROCESSING AT ANY TIME; 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 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 Member State of your habitual residence, your place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. This right exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive the data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. You also have the right to request the direct transfer of this data to another controller, where technically feasible.

Right of Access, Rectification, and Erasure

Under applicable law, you have the right to request, at any time and free of charge, information about your stored personal data, its origin, recipient, and the purpose of the data processing. You may also have a right to rectification or erasure of this data. If you have any questions about personal data, you can contact us at any time.

Right to Restrict Processing

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

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

• If the processing of your data is or was unlawful, you can request the restriction of use instead of deletion.

• If we no longer need the data but you require it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, you may request the restriction instead of deletion.

• If you have objected under Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. Until it is determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to restrict processing.

If processing is restricted, such data may – apart from being stored – 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 interest reasons 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), this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the browser’s address line switching from “http://” to “https://” and the lock icon in your browser line.
