When using data processors, we only pass on personal data of our customers on the basis of a valid Data Processing Agreement.

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke any consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out up until the time of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

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

IF THE DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6(1)(e) OR (f) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT, ON REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. YOU CAN FIND THE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH THE PROCESSING IS BASED IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING PROTECTABLE REASONS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING IS NECESSARY FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR SUCH MARKETING PURPOSES; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING, SO FAR AS IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING.

This right to complain is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

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

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 regarding this. The right to restrict processing exists in the following cases:

If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need time to verify this. During the verification period, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
If we no longer need your personal data but you require it for the exercise, defense, or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of your interests and ours must be carried out. As long as it is not clear which interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data – apart from being stored – may only be processed with your consent, for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or a member state.

Our web pages use so-called “cookies.” Cookies are small data packets that do not harm your device. They are stored on your device 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 your web browser automatically deletes them.

Cookies can originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services from third-party companies within websites (e.g., cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies have various functions. Numerous cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies can be used to analyze user behavior or for advertising purposes.

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

You can configure your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, or activate the automatic deletion of cookies when the browser is closed. Disabling cookies may restrict the functionality of this website.

These data are not merged with other data sources.

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 display and optimization of his website – for this purpose, the server log files must be recorded.

Contact Form

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

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, insofar as your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively handling the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if it has been requested; consent can be revoked at any time.

The data you provide in the contact form will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose of data storage ceases to exist (e.g., after your inquiry has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular, retention periods – remain unaffected.

Inquiries by E-mail, Telephone, or Fax

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

The data you send us via contact inquiries will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose of data storage ceases to exist (e.g., after your inquiry has been processed).

The provider of this site has no influence on this data transfer. When Google Maps is activated, Google may use Google Fonts for the uniform display of fonts. When accessing Google Maps, your browser downloads the required web fonts into its cache to display texts and fonts correctly.

The use of Google Maps is in the interest of an attractive presentation of our online offerings and for the easy location of the places indicated on our website. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If consent has been requested, processing is carried out solely on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG.

We use “Google reCAPTCHA” (hereinafter “reCAPTCHA”) on this website. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

reCAPTCHA is used to verify whether the data entry on this website (e.g., in a contact form) is carried out by a human or an automated program. To do this, reCAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of the website visitor based on various features. This analysis begins automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the website. For the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g., IP address, duration of the website visit, or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is transmitted to Google.

The reCAPTCHA analyses run completely in the background. Website visitors are not notified that an analysis is taking place.

The storage and analysis of the data is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting his web offerings from abusive automated extraction and spam. If consent has been requested, processing is carried out solely on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG.
