Data Protection

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations as well as this privacy policy.

Various personal data are collected when you use this website. Personal data are data with which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains which data we collect and why we use it. It also explains how and for what purpose this occurs.

We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., communication by email) can have security gaps. Complete protection of the data from third-party access is not possible.

Storage Duration

Unless a more specific storage period has been stated within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing ceases to exist. If you make a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial law retention periods); in which case, deletion will occur after 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 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a DSGVO if special data categories according to Art. 9 para. 1 DSGVO are processed. In the case of an explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, the data processing is also based on Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO.

Recipients of Personal Data

In our business operations, we work with various external parties. In some cases, it is also necessary to transmit personal data to these external parties. We only pass on personal data to external parties if this is necessary in the context of contract fulfillment, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g., transmission of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest under Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO in the transmission, or if another legal basis allows the data to be transmitted. When using processors, we only transfer personal data to our clients on the basis of a valid contract for order processing. In the case of joint processing, a contract for joint processing is concluded.

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may revoke consent you have already given at any time. The legality of data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

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

IF THE DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6 PARA. 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. THE RELEVANT LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND 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 OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS OR FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21 PARA. 1 DSGVO).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH ADVERTISING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH DIRECT ADVERTISING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT ADVERTISING (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21 PARA. 2 DSGVO).

Right of Complaint to the Competent Supervisory Authority

In case of violations of the DSGVO, data subjects have the right to complain to a supervisory authority, particularly in the member state of their habitual residence, their place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. The right to complain exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in the performance of a contract handed over to you or a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you demand the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only take place as far as it is technically feasible.

Information, Correction, and Deletion

Under the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right to request information about your stored personal data, their origin, and recipient, and the purpose of the data processing and, if applicable, a right to rectification or deletion of this data at any time. You can contact us at any time for further details on personal data.

Right to Restriction of Processing

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

• If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we will usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to demand the restriction of processing of your personal data.
• If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
• If we no longer need your personal data, but you need them to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you have the right to demand the restriction of processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
• If you have lodged an objection according to Art. 21 para. 1 DSGVO, a balance must be struck between your and our interests. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to demand the restriction of processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data – apart from being stored – will 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 significant public interest of the European Union or a member state.

6. Newsletter

Newsletter Data

If you wish to subscribe to the newsletter offered on the website, we need your email address and information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the specified email address and that you agree to receive the newsletter. Additional data is not collected or only collected on a voluntary basis. We use these data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass them on to third parties.

The processing of the data entered in the newsletter registration form is based solely on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO).

This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with the legal requirements for sending newsletters (legitimate interest under Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO). The storage in the blacklist is indefinite in time. You can object to the storage, provided that your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.
