General Notes on the Legal Bases of Data Processing on this Website
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 (2) lit. 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, the processing is also based on Art. 49 (1) lit. a GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to
information in your device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), data processing additionally takes place on the basis of § 25 (1) TTDSG.
Consent can be revoked at any time.
If your data is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract or for pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of
Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if this is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation on the basis of
Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR. Data processing can also take place on the basis of our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.
The respective legal bases in each individual case are explained in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.
Recipients of Personal Data
In the course of our business activities, we work together with various external parties. In some cases, this also requires the
transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only pass on personal data if this is necessary for contract fulfillment,
if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. transfer of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest pursuant to
Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, or if another legal basis permits data transfer. When using processors, we only pass on personal data of
our customers on the basis of a valid processing contract. In the case of joint processing, a contract on joint processing is concluded.
Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke your consent at any time.
The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected.
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) lit. e or f GDPR, you have the right to object at any time,
for reasons arising from your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data, including 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 the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the assertion, exercise,
or defense of legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR).
If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing
of personal data concerning you for such advertising; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is connected with such direct
marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for direct marketing purposes
(objection pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR).
Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority
In the event of violations 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, their place of work, or the place of the alleged violation.
The right to lodge a complaint 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 fulfillment of a contract
handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data
to another responsible party, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.
Access, Correction, and Deletion
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored
personal data, its origin and recipient, and the purpose of data processing and, if applicable, a right to correct or delete
this data. For this purpose, as well as for further questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at any time.
Right to Restriction of Processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. For this purpose, 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 by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration
of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the 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 it for the exercise, defense, or assertion of legal claims,
you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
- If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours.
As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the
processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data may – apart from being stored – only be processed
with your consent or for the assertion, exercise, or defense 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.
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 browser’s address
line changing from “http://” to “https://” and the lock symbol in your browser line.
When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

The provider of the 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) lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the
technically error-free presentation and optimization of its website – for this purpose, the server log files must be collected.

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided
there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass on
this data without your consent.
The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR if your request is related to the performance of a contract
or necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our
legitimate interest in the effective processing of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR) or on your consent
(Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR) if this was requested; consent can be revoked at any time.
The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, 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 retention periods – remain unaffected.
Inquiry by Email, Telephone, or Fax
If you contact us by email, telephone, or fax, your inquiry, including all personal data (name, inquiry) resulting from it,
will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We do not pass on this data without your consent.
The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR if your request is related to the performance of a contract
or necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate
interest in the effective processing of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR)
if this was requested; consent can be revoked at any time.
The data you send to us via contact inquiries will remain with us until you request us to delete it, 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.
