If you assert a justified 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 retention periods); in the latter case, the deletion will take place after these reasons no longer apply.

Note on data transfer to the USA and other non-EU countries

We use tools from companies based in the USA or other non-secure third countries. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these third countries. Please note that these countries may not provide a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU. For example, US companies may be required to disclose personal data to security authorities without the possibility for you as the data subject to legally challenge this. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that US authorities (such as intelligence agencies) process, analyze, and permanently store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no control over these processing activities.

Right to object to data collection in specific cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6(1)(e) OR (f) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING 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 PURPOSE OF ASSERTING, EXERCISING, OR DEFENDING 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 YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH ADVERTISING. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO 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 a supervisory authority

In the event of infringements 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 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 automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you 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 only be done to the extent technically feasible.

Information, correction, and deletion

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to obtain information free of charge at any time about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, as well as a right to correct or delete this data. For this purpose, as well as for further questions regarding personal data, you can always contact us.

Right to restriction of 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 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. During the verification period, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
  • If the processing of your personal data has been or is being carried out unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the exercise, defense, or establishment of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
  • If you have objected to the processing of your personal data in accordance with Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of interests between your rights and ours must be carried out. 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, except for storage, these data may 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.

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 site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change in the address line of your browser from “http://” to “https://” and by 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.

Cookies

Our website uses cookies, which are small data packets that do not harm your device. They are either temporarily stored for the duration of your session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit, while persistent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them manually or your web browser automatically deletes them.

Cookies can be either first-party cookies, which are set by us, or third-party cookies, which are set by third-party companies. Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services provided by third-party companies within websites, such as cookies used for payment processing.

Cookies serve various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary as certain website features would not function without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or displaying videos). Other cookies may be used for analyzing user behavior or for advertising purposes.

The storage of necessary cookies, which are required for the electronic communication process, the provision of specific functions requested by you (e.g., the shopping cart function), or the optimization of the website (e.g., cookies for measuring web audience), is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of their services. If consent for the storage of cookies and similar identification technologies has been obtained, processing is based solely on this consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and § 25(1) of the German Telemedia Act (TMG)). Consent can be revoked at any time.

You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are being set, allow cookies on a case-by-case basis, exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing your browser. Disabling cookies may restrict the functionality of this website.

  • IP address

These data are not merged with other data sources. The collection of this data is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

The processing of this data is based on Article 6(1)(b) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) if your inquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively processing the inquiries directed to us (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR), provided that it has been requested; the consent can be revoked at any time.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after completing the processing of your inquiry). Mandatory legal provisions, especially retention periods, remain unaffected.

f you contact us by email, telephone, or fax, your inquiry, including any resulting personal data (name, inquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We will not disclose this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Article 6(1)(b) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) if your inquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively processing the inquiries directed to us (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR), provided that it has been requested; the consent can be revoked at any time.

The data you send us via contact inquiries will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after completing the processing of your request).

Analysis Tools and Advertising

This website uses the analytics tool WP Statistics to statistically evaluate visitor access. The provider is Veronalabs, Tatari 64, 10134, Tallinn, Estonia (https://veronalabs.com).

With WP Statistics, we can analyze the usage of our website. WP Statistics collects, among other things, log files (IP address, referrer, used browser, user’s origin, used search engine) and actions that website visitors have taken on the site (e.g., clicks and views).

The data collected with WP Statistics is stored exclusively on our own server.

The use of this analytics tool is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). We have a legitimate interest in the anonymized analysis of user behavior to optimize both our website and our advertising. If appropriate consent has been obtained, processing is carried out solely on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG, to the extent that the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

IP anonymization
We use WP Statistics with anonymized IP. Your IP address is shortened, so it cannot be directly associated with you.

6. Newsletter

If you wish to subscribe to the newsletter offered on the website, we require your email address and information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the provided email address and that you consent to receiving the newsletter. Further data will not be collected or will be collected on a voluntary basis only. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not disclose it 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). You can revoke your consent to the storage of the data, the email address, and their use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example, by clicking the “Unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you provide us for the purpose of subscribing to 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 or the purpose no longer exists. We reserve the right to delete or block email addresses from our newsletter distribution list at our discretion within the scope of our legitimate interests pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

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

After you have unsubscribed 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 will only be used for this purpose and will not be merged with other data. This serves both your interests and our interest in complying with legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). The storage in the blacklist is not limited in time. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

YouTube in the enhanced privacy mode

Once you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection to YouTube’s servers is established. This informs the YouTube server about which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to associate your browsing behavior directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

Furthermore, after starting a video, YouTube may store various cookies on your device or use similar recognition technologies (e.g., device fingerprinting). This allows YouTube to obtain information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to capture video statistics, improve user-friendliness, and prevent fraud.

Additional data processing operations may be triggered after starting a YouTube video that we have no control over.

The use of YouTube is in the interest of presenting our online offers in an appealing manner. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. If the corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is based exclusively on Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and § 25(1) of the German Telemedia Act (TTDSG) to the extent that the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g., device fingerprinting).

To use the features of Google Maps, it is necessary to store your IP address. This information is typically transmitted to and stored on a Google server in the United States. The provider of this site has no influence over this data transmission. When Google Maps is activated, Google may use Google Fonts for the purpose of a consistent font display. When you access Google Maps, your browser loads the required web fonts into its cache to display texts and fonts correctly.
