Data Protection

As operators of these pages, we take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this Privacy Policy. When you use this website, various pieces of personal data are collected.

Personal data is data with which you can be personally identified. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens.

We point out that data transmission on the internet (e.g., when communicating by email) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Retention Period

Unless a specific retention period has been specified in this Privacy Policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you assert a justified request for erasure or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be erased, provided we do not have any other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial retention periods); in the latter case, the data will be erased once these reasons cease to exist.

 

General Information on the Legal Bases 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 according to Art. 9(1) GDPR are processed. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing also takes place on the basis of Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to the access to information on your end device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), data processing also takes place on the basis of Section 25(1) TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required for the performance of a contract or the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if it is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.

Data processing may also be based on our legitimate interests according to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Information on the respective legal bases 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 collaborate with various external entities. In some cases, a transfer of personal data to these external entities is necessary.

We only pass on personal data to external parties if this is necessary for the performance of a contract, if we are legally obligated to do so (e.g., disclosure of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the transfer of data. When using processors, we only forward the personal data of our clients on the basis of a valid data processing agreement (DPA). In the event of joint processing, a joint controller agreement is concluded.

 

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke consent that has already been given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

 

Right to Object to the Collection of Data in Specific Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

If data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right to object at any time 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 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 the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for the purpose of direct marketing (objection pursuant to Art. 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, their place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any 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 direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be carried out to the extent technically feasible.

 

Access, Rectification, and Erasure

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free access to information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, and, if applicable, a right to rectification or erasure of this data. For this purpose, and for further questions regarding personal data, you can contact us at any time.

 

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 applies in the following cases:

  • If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the audit, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
  • If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can demand the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
  • If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

 

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data – with the exception of its storage – 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

This site uses 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. 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 icon in your browser address 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

 

Collection of Access Data and Log Files

Based on our legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, we collect data on every access to the server on which this service is located (so-called server log files). The access data includes the name of the accessed web page, file, date and time of access, volume of data transferred, notification of successful retrieval, browser type and version, the user’s operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page), IP address, and the requesting provider.

Log file information is stored for a maximum of 7 days for security reasons (e.g., to investigate misuse or fraudulent activity) and is subsequently deleted. Data whose further retention is required for evidentiary purposes is exempted from deletion until final clarification of the respective incident.

 

Inquiries by Email, Contact Form, or Telephone

If you contact us by email, contact form, or telephone, your inquiry, including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not share this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your request 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 the effective handling of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if requested; the consent can be revoked at any time.

The data you send to us via contact inquiries will remain with us until you request us to erase it, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.
