If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke consent for 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, deletion occurs after these reasons cease to apply.

General Information on the Legal Basis of Data Processing on this Website

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data based on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR if special categories of data pursuant to Art. 9(1) GDPR are processed.

Notice on Data Transfer to Third Countries without Adequate Data Protection and to US Companies Not DPF-Certified

We use tools from companies located in third countries without adequate data protection and US tools whose providers are not certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these countries and processed there. We point out that in third countries without adequate data protection, no comparable level of data protection to the EU can be guaranteed.

We point out that the USA as a safe third country generally has a comparable level of data protection to the EU. Data transfer to the USA is permissible if the recipient has certification under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF) or has appropriate additional safeguards. Information on transfers to third countries, including recipients, can be found in this privacy policy.

Recipients of Personal Data

In the course of our business activities, we work with various external parties. This sometimes requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only share personal data with external parties if this is necessary for contract fulfillment, if we are legally required (e.g., sharing data with tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR in sharing, or if another legal basis allows data transfer. When using processors, we only share personal data of our customers based on a valid contract for order processing. 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 explicit consent. You can revoke already given consent at any time. The legality of data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT, FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RELEVANT LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED IS INDICATED 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 IS FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED TO CONDUCT DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR SUCH ADVERTISING PURPOSES; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT IT IS CONNECTED WITH 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 event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, especially in the member state of their habitual residence, workplace, or the place 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 based on your consent or to fulfill a contract, in a common, machine-readable format, and to transmit it to yourself or a third party. If you request direct transfer to another responsible party, this only occurs to the extent technically feasible.

Information, Correction, and Deletion

You have the right, within the applicable legal provisions, to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients, and the purpose of data processing, and, if necessary, the right to correct or delete this data. For this and other questions about 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 exists in the following cases:

  • If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we generally need time to verify this. During the verification period, you have the right to request restriction of processing your personal data.
  • If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request restriction instead of deletion.
  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you need them for asserting, exercising, or defending legal claims, you have the right to request restriction instead of deletion.
  • If you have filed an objection under Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be made between your interests and ours. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of processing your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data – except for storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims, to protect 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 you send to us as site operators, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the browser address changing from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

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

Objection to Advertising Emails

The use of contact data published within the framework of the legal notice obligation to send unsolicited advertising and information materials is hereby objected to. The site operators expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited sending of advertising information, e.g., via spam emails.

4. Data Collection on this Website

Server Log Files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

  • Browser type and browser version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Hostname of the accessing computer
  • Time of the server request
  • IP address

A combination of these data with other data sources is not carried out.

The collection of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of its website – for this, server log files must be recorded.

Contact Form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your information from the inquiry form, including the contact data you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We do not share this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or required for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, 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; 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 for storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after your inquiry has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

Inquiry by E-Mail, Phone, or Fax

If you contact us by e-mail, telephone, or fax, your inquiry, including all personal data arising from it (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 inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or required for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively handling inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), if requested; consent can be revoked at any time.

The data you send us for contact purposes will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after processing your request). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

5. Newsletter

Newsletter Data

If you wish to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an e-mail address and information that allow us to verify that you are the owner of the provided e-mail address and agree to receive the newsletter. No further data are collected or only on a voluntary basis. This data is used exclusively for sending the requested information and is not passed on to third parties.

The processing of the data entered in the newsletter registration form is based solely on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). The given consent for storing the data, the e-mail address, and its use for sending the newsletter can be revoked at any time, for example via the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The legality of data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected.

The data you provide for receiving the newsletter will be stored with us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe or the purpose ceases, and will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list afterward. We reserve the right to delete or block e-mail addresses from our newsletter distribution list at our discretion within the scope of our legitimate interest according to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Data stored for other purposes remain unaffected.

After your unsubscription, your e-mail address may be stored in a blacklist by us or the newsletter service provider if 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 interest and our interest in compliance with legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Storage in the blacklist is not time-limited. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

Newsletter Sending to Existing Customers

If you order goods or services from us and provide your e-mail address, this e-mail address can subsequently be used by us for sending newsletters, provided we inform you in advance. In such a case, the newsletter only contains direct advertising for our own similar goods or services. You can unsubscribe from this newsletter at any time via a corresponding link in each newsletter. The legal basis for sending the newsletter is in this case Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR in conjunction with §7(3) UWG.

After your unsubscription, your e-mail address may be stored in a blacklist to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and not merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in compliance with legal requirements when sending newsletters. Storage in the blacklist is not time-limited. You can object if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.
