Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH ANY PROCESSING IS BASED 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 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 PARA. 1 GDPR).

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, in a commonly used, machine-readable format, and to have it transmitted to yourself or to a third party. If you request direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.


SSL / 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 sent to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change from “http://” to “https://” in the browser’s address bar and by the lock symbol.

If SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, data transmitted to us cannot be read by third parties.

Within the framework of applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain information free of charge about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, as well as a right to correction or deletion of this data. For this purpose and for further questions regarding personal data, you may contact us at any time using the address provided in the legal notice.


Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time using the address provided in the legal notice. The right to restriction of processing applies 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 restriction of processing of your personal data.

  • If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may request restriction of processing instead of deletion.

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

  • If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, a balancing of your interests and ours must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of processing.

If processing of your personal data has been restricted, such data may — apart from storage — 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.

Cookies

Our websites use so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small text files and do not cause any damage to your device. They are stored either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit. Persistent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or automatic deletion occurs via your web browser.

In some cases, cookies from third-party companies may also be stored on your device when you enter our site (third-party cookies). These allow us or you to use certain services of the third-party company (e.g. cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. shopping cart function or video display). Other cookies are used to evaluate user behavior or display advertising.

Cookies required to carry out electronic communication or to provide certain functions requested by you (e.g. shopping cart function) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure technically error-free and optimized provision of services. If corresponding consent has been requested (e.g. consent to store cookies), processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR; consent may be revoked at any time.

You can configure your browser to inform you about the use of cookies and allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude acceptance of cookies in certain cases or in general, and activate automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Where cookies from third-party companies or for analysis purposes are used, we will inform you separately within this Privacy Policy and, if necessary, request your consent.


Inquiry by Email, Telephone, or Fax

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

Processing of this data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR if your inquiry is related to fulfillment of a contract or necessary for pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) and/or our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR), as we have a legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries addressed to us.

The data you send to 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 your inquiry has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions — in particular statutory retention periods — remain unaffected.
