General Notes 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) of the GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) of the GDPR if special categories of data are processed according to Article 9(1) of the GDPR.

Data processing may also be based on our legitimate interest according to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The respective legal bases applicable in each individual case are informed 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, the transmission of personal data to these external parties is necessary. We only transfer personal data to external parties if it is required within the framework of contract fulfillment, if we are legally obligated to do so (e.g., data transfer to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR in the transfer, or if another legal basis allows the data transfer. When using processors, we only transfer personal data of our customers based on a valid data processing agreement. 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 express consent. You can revoke consent you have already given 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 Advertising (Article 21 GDPR) IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ARTICLE 6(1)(E) OR (F) OF THE 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 THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR IF THE PROCESSING IS FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION ACCORDING TO ARTICLE 21(1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF 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 RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT ADVERTISING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT ADVERTISING (OBJECTION ACCORDING TO ARTICLE 21(2) GDPR).


Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority
In the event of breaches of the GDPR, data subjects have a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the member state of their habitual residence, their place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. This right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.


Right to Data Portability
You have the right to have data that we process based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract automatically delivered to yourself or to a third party in a standard, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will be done only to the extent technically feasible.


Information, Correction, and Deletion
Within the scope 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 necessary, a right to correct or delete this data. For this as well as for further questions on the subject of 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. You can contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restrict processing applies in the following cases:

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data may – apart from being stored – only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, 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.

If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the review, 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 to exercise, defend, or assert 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 under Article 21(1) GDPR, your interests and ours must be weighed up. 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.


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 site operator, this site uses an SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

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


    Cookies
    Our websites use so-called "cookies". Cookies are small data packets and do not cause any damage to your device. They are stored either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or an automatic deletion is carried out by your web browser.

    Cookies can be "first-party cookies" which are set by our own website, or "third-party cookies" which are set by other websites (e.g., cookies used to process payment services).

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

    Cookies that are necessary to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions you wish to use (e.g., for the shopping cart function) or to optimize the website (e.g., cookies for measuring the web audience) 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 storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If a consent to the storage of cookies and similar recognition technologies has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) of the TTDSG); the consent can be revoked at any time.

    You can set your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

    Which cookies and services are used on this website can be found in this privacy policy.


    Contact Form
    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 share this data without your consent.

    The processing of this data is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries addressed to us (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this has been requested; the consent can be revoked at any time.

    The data you enter in the contact form remains with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to the storage, or the purpose for data storage ceases to apply (e.g., after your inquiry has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.


    Inquiry by E-mail, Telephone, or Fax
    If you contact us by e-mail, telephone, or fax, your inquiry, including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We do not share this data without your consent.

    The processing of this data is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries addressed to us (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this has been requested; the consent can be revoked at any time.

    The data sent to us via contact requests remains with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage ceases to apply (e.g., after processing your inquiry has been completed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

        Newsletter Data
        If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we need an email address from you, as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the specified email address and that you agree to receive the newsletter. Further data is not collected or only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

        The processing of the data entered into the newsletter subscription form is based solely on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). The consent given for storing the data, the email address, and their use for sending the newsletter can be revoked at any time, for example through the "unsubscribe" link in the newsletter. The legality of the already completed data processing operations remains unaffected by the revocation.

        The data deposited with us for the purpose of obtaining the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe from the newsletter or after the purpose has ceased to apply. We reserve the right to delete or block email addresses from our newsletter distribution list at our own discretion within the scope of our legitimate interest according to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

        Data stored for other purposes with us remains unaffected by this.

        After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist, if this is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist is used only for this purpose and not merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with the legal requirements for sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). The storage in the blacklist is not time-limited. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.
