General Information on the Legal Basis 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)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR if special categories of data under Art. 9(1) GDPR are processed. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also carried out based on Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR.

Data processing may also be based on our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The respective legal basis applicable in each individual case is explained in the following sections of this privacy policy.
Recipients of Personal Data
In the course of our business activities, we work together with various external parties. This may involve the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only transfer personal data to external parties if this is necessary for contract fulfillment, if we are legally required to do so (e.g., transfer of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR in doing so, or if another legal basis permits the data transfer. When using processors, we only transfer personal data to contractors based on a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a contract for joint processing is concluded.
Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may revoke consent you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out prior to revocation remains unaffected.
Right to Object to Data Collection in Special 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 TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA AT ANY TIME FOR REASONS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RELEVANT LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, 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 MARKETING PURPOSES; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL 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 case of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the member state of their habitual residence, place of work, or location 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 receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract in a common, machine-readable format, either to yourself or to a third party. If you request direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will be done only to the extent that it is technically feasible.
Access, Correction, and Deletion
Within the scope of applicable law, you have the right at any time to request information about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients, and the purpose of data processing, as well as, if applicable, the right to correct or delete this data. You may contact us at any time regarding this or other questions on the topic 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 about this at any time. The right to restrict processing applies in the following cases:
- If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we typically 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 may request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
- If we no longer require your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defense, or establishment of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of processing instead of deletion.
- If you have lodged an objection according to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of interests must take place. As long as it is not yet determined 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 may — aside from storing it — 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.

You can identify an encrypted connection by the change in the browser’s address bar from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock icon in your browser bar.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
4. Data Collection on this Website
Cookies
Our websites use so-called “cookies.” Cookies are small data packets that do not cause any damage to your device. They are either stored 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 stored on your device until you delete them yourself or until they are automatically deleted by your web browser.
Cookies may come from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies allow the integration of certain services from third-party companies within websites (e.g., cookies for processing payment services).
Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., shopping cart functionality or displaying videos). Other cookies may be used to analyze user behavior or for advertising purposes.
Cookies that are necessary for performing electronic communication processes, providing certain functions requested by you (e.g., the shopping cart function), or optimizing the website (e.g., cookies for measuring web traffic) are stored based on Art. 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 for the storage of cookies and similar recognition technologies was requested, processing is carried out exclusively based on this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG); consent can be revoked at any time.
You can configure your browser to inform you when cookies are placed and to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are disabled, the functionality of this website may be limited.
You can find out which cookies and services are used on this website in this privacy policy.
5. Social Media
Social Media Elements with Shariff
This website uses elements of social media platforms (e.g., Facebook, X, Instagram, Pinterest, XING, LinkedIn, Tumblr).
You can usually recognize the social media elements by the respective social media logos. To ensure data protection on this website, we use these elements only together with the so-called “Shariff” solution. This application prevents the integrated social media elements from transferring your personal data to the respective provider upon first entering the page.
Only when you activate the respective social media element by clicking its corresponding button is a direct connection to the provider’s server established (consent). As soon as you activate the social media element, the respective provider receives the information that you have visited this website with your IP address. If you are logged into your social media account at that time (e.g., Facebook), the provider can associate your visit to this website with your user account.
Activating the plugin constitutes consent within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG. You may revoke this consent at any time with future effect.
The use of this service is carried out to obtain the legally required consent for the use of certain technologies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.
