Storage Period

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 no longer applies. If you assert 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. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, deletion will take place after these reasons 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 Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR if special categories of data pursuant to Article 9(1) GDPR are processed. In the case of express consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also carried out on the basis of Article 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your terminal device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), data processing is additionally carried out on the basis of Section 25(1) TDDDG. Consent may be revoked at any time. If your data is required for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if this is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation on the basis of Article 6(1)(c) GDPR. Data processing may also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Information on the respective legal basis applicable in each individual case is provided in the following paragraphs of this Privacy Policy.

Recipients of Personal Data

As part of our business activities, we cooperate with various external parties. In some cases, it is also necessary to transfer personal data to such external parties. We only transfer personal data to external parties if this is necessary in the context of contract performance, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. disclosure of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR in the disclosure, or if another legal basis permits the transfer of data. When using processors, we transfer personal data of our customers only on the basis of a valid Data Processing Agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may revoke consent already granted at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out prior to the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Marketing (Article 21 GDPR)

If data processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right at any time, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to object to the processing of your personal data; this also applies to any 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 which override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection pursuant to Article 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 the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will thereafter no longer be used for the purpose of direct marketing (objection pursuant to Article 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, place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, either for yourself or for a third party, in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.

Information, Correction, and Deletion

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to receive information free of charge regarding your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, and, where applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data. You may contact us at any time regarding this and any further questions on the subject of personal data.

Right to Restriction of Processing

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

• If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally require time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.
• If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may request restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
• If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the exercise, defense, or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing instead of deletion.
• If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of interests between your interests and ours must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data may – apart from storage – 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 of a Member State.

SSL or TLS Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the website operator, this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser address line changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Cookies

Our websites use so-called “cookies.” Cookies are small data packages and do not cause any damage to your terminal device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your terminal device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your terminal device until you delete them yourself or automatic deletion occurs through your web browser.

Cookies may originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services of third-party companies within websites (e.g. cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies have various functions. Numerous cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not operate without them (e.g. the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies may be used to analyze user behavior or for advertising purposes.

Cookies that are necessary for carrying out the electronic communication process, for providing certain functions requested by you (e.g. for the shopping cart function), or for optimizing the website (e.g. cookies for measuring web audience) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG); consent may be revoked at any time.

You can configure your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general, and activate automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted.

If additional cookies and services are used on this website, this can be found in this Privacy Policy.

YouTube

Videos from the YouTube platform are embedded on our website. The provider of the service is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

The YouTube videos are integrated into our website using the standard embedding procedure (“iframe”). As soon as a page containing an embedded YouTube video is accessed, a connection to YouTube’s servers is established. In this process, YouTube is informed which of our pages you have visited. In addition, personal data, in particular the IP address as well as information about your terminal device and browser, may be transmitted to YouTube. This occurs regardless of whether you have a YouTube user account or are logged in there.

If you are logged into your YouTube or Google account while accessing the page, YouTube may associate your visit to our website with your personal user profile. To prevent this, you must log out of your YouTube account before visiting our website.

The integration of YouTube is carried out for the purpose of an appealing presentation of our online services and improved user guidance. The processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest). Our legitimate interest lies in the user-friendly and economically reasonable provision of video content.

It cannot be ruled out that, in the context of using YouTube, personal data may be transferred to servers of Google LLC located in the United States. For these data transfers, Google relies on the Standard Contractual Clauses approved by the European Commission.
