Personal data is data that can be used to personally identify you. This privacy policy explains which data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens.

The responsible party is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).

Storage Period Unless a more specific storage period is stated within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for the 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., tax or commercial law retention periods); in the latter case, deletion will take place after these reasons cease to apply.

General Information on the Legal Bases for Data Processing If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR if special data categories under Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR are processed. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also based on Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), data processing is also based on § 25 para. 1 TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required for the performance of a contract or for pre-contractual measures, we process your data based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if it is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. Data processing may also be based on our legitimate interest under Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The relevant legal bases in each individual case are explained in the following sections of this privacy policy.

Recipients of Personal Data In the course of our business activities, we work with various external parties. In some cases, this also involves the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only pass on personal data to external parties if this is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g., transfer of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest under Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, or if another legal basis allows the data transfer. When using processors, we only pass on personal data of our customers on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement will be concluded.

Recipients of Personal Data In the course of our business operations, we cooperate with various external parties. In some cases, personal data may be transferred to these parties. We transfer data only when legally permitted, required for contractual obligations, or based on legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). If processors are used, data is transferred only based on valid data processing agreements. For joint processing, a joint responsibility agreement is concluded.

Revocation of Your Consent Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may revoke your consent at any time with future effect. The lawfulness of processing prior to revocation remains unaffected.

Right to Object to Data Processing in Special Cases and 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 ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION. 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 THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES TO ESTABLISH, EXERCISE OR DEFEND 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 TO SUCH PROCESSING AT ANY TIME; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT IT IS ASSOCIATED WITH 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 Supervisory Authority In case of violations of the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in your habitual residence, workplace, or place of the alleged violation. This right is without prejudice to any 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 you or a third party in a standard, machine-readable format. If you request direct data transfer to another controller, this will be done only if technically feasible.

Right to Access, Rectification, and Erasure You have the right, within the limits of the applicable law, to access your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing at any time free of charge. You may also have the right to rectify or erase this data. Please contact us anytime for more information.

Right to Restriction of Processing You have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data. This right exists under the following conditions:

  • If you contest the accuracy of your data, we usually need time to verify this. During the verification period, you have the right to restrict processing.

  • If the processing is unlawful, you may request restriction instead of deletion.

  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the exercise or defense of legal claims, you may request restriction instead of deletion.

  • If you have objected under Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. Until it is determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to restrict processing.

If processing is restricted, such data may – apart from being stored – only be processed with your consent or for legal claims or protection of rights of others or for reasons of public interest of the EU or a Member State.

The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of services.
