The controller is the natural or legal person who alone, or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).

Storage Period
Unless a more specific storage period is stated in this Privacy Policy, your personal data remain with us until the purpose for the data processing no longer applies. 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 grounds for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial law retention periods); in the latter case, data will be deleted after these grounds cease to 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 data are processed according to Art. 9(1) GDPR. In the event of express consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also carried out on the basis of Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information in your terminal device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), data processing is additionally carried out on the basis of § 25(1) TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.
If your data are necessary for the performance of a contract or for pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, if your data are required to fulfil a legal obligation, we process them on the basis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Data processing may also be based on our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Information on the relevant legal bases for each individual case can be found in the following sections of this Privacy Policy.

Recipients of Personal Data
In the course of our business activities, we cooperate with various external entities. In some cases, the transfer of personal data to these external entities may be necessary. We only transfer personal data to external entities if this is required for contract fulfilment, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g., data transfer to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the transfer under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the data transfer. When using processors, we only transfer personal data of our customers on the basis of a valid processing contract. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Withdrawing Your Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke any consent already granted at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to Object to Data Collection 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 AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE 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 OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING IS FOR THE ASSERTION, EXERCISE OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21(1) GDPR).

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

Right to Lodge a Complaint with a Supervisory Authority
In the event of breaches 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 the place of the alleged infringement. This 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 fulfilment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request a direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only take place if it is technically feasible.

Access, Correction and Deletion
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time and free of charge to receive information about your stored personal data, their origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, and, if applicable, the right to correct or delete these data. For this purpose, as well as for further questions concerning personal data, you can contact us at any time.

Right to Restrict Processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. To do this, you can contact us at any time. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

  • If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request 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 request the restriction of processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
  • If you have lodged an objection under Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be found between your interests and ours. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data—apart from being stored—may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, or 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.

Cookies
Our website uses “cookies.” Cookies are small data packages that do not harm your device. They are stored either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Persistent cookies remain on your device until you delete them or until your web browser deletes them automatically.
Cookies may originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (third-party cookies). Third-party cookies allow the integration of certain third-party services within websites (e.g., cookies for handling payment services).

Cookies serve different functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or video display). Other cookies may be used to analyse user behaviour or for advertising purposes.

Cookies that are required for electronic communication processes, for providing certain functions you have requested (e.g., the shopping cart function), or for optimising the website (e.g., cookies to measure web audiences), 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 necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimised provision of their services. If consent for storing cookies or similar recognition technologies has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG); consent may be revoked at any time.

You can configure your browser to inform you about the placement of cookies and to allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, to exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or in general, and to activate automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are disabled, the functionality of this website may be limited.

Information on which cookies and services are used on this website can be found in this Privacy Policy.

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 include:

  • Browser type and browser 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 optimisation of their website, which requires the recording of server log files.

Contact Form
If you send us enquiries via the contact form, the data you enter in the form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We will not pass on these data without your consent.

The processing of these data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, if your enquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is required for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this was requested; consent can be withdrawn at any time.

The data you enter into the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete them, revoke your consent for storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., once your enquiry has been fully processed). Mandatory statutory provisions—particularly retention periods—remain unaffected.

Enquiries by Email, Telephone or Fax
If you contact us by email, telephone or fax, your enquiry including all resulting personal data (name, enquiry) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not transfer these data without your consent.

The processing of these data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, if your enquiry is related to the fulfilment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively handling enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if requested; consent can be withdrawn at any time.

The data sent by you via contact enquiries remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent for storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after your enquiry has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions—particularly legal retention periods—remain unaffected.
