The controller is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g. names, email addresses, etc.).
Retention period
Unless a more specific retention period is specified in 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 consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the data will be deleted after these reasons no longer apply.
General information on the legal basis for data processing on this website
If you 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 are processed pursuant to Art. 9(1) GDPR. If you have given your explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data is also processed 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 device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), the data processing is also based on Section 25 (1) of the German telecommunications and telemedia data protection act (TTDSG). You can revoke your consent at any time. If your data is required for the performance of a contract or for 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 this is necessary for complying with a legal obligation according to Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR. Data may also be processed according to Art. 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR based on our legitimate interest. Information on the relevant legal basis in each individual case is provided in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.
Note on data transfer to the USA and other third countries
Among other things, we use tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that are not secure under data protection law. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these third countries. Please note that no level of data protection comparable to that in the EU can be guaranteed in these countries. For example, U.S. companies are obligated to release personal data to security authorities without you, the data subject, being able to take legal action against this. This means that U.S. authorities (e.g. intelligence agencies) may process, evaluate and permanently store your data for monitoring purposes if it is located on U.S. servers. We have no influence on these processing activities.
Revoking your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke your consent at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
IF DATA IS COLLECTED ACCORDING TO ARTICLE 6 (1) (E) or (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING AT ANY TIME FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE RULES. THE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE HAVE DEMONSTRABLY COMPELLING REASONS THAT OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES TO ASSERT, EXERCISE OR DEFEND LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION BASED ON ART. 21 (1) GDPR.
IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU MAY OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING AT ANY TIME; 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 PARA. 2 GDPR).
Right to appeal to the competent supervisory authority
In case of violations of the GDPR, the data subject is entitled to appeal to a supervisory authority, including, but not limited to, in the member state of their residence, their place of work or the place where the alleged infringement occurred. The right of appeal exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to data portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request that the data should be transferred directly to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.
Information, deletion and correction
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you may, at any time, request information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient and the purpose of data processing and, if applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data. This information must be provided free of charge. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions you may have regarding this or data privacy in general.
Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to ask us to restrict the processing of your personal data. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions you may have regarding this. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:
If you dispute the accuracy of the personal data we store on you, we usually need some time to verify this. You may also ask us to restrict the processing of your personal data under certain circumstances.
If your personal data has been/ is processed unlawfully, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend or enforce legal claims, you may request 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 and our interests must be carried out. As long as it is unclear whose interests prevail, you may request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data may - apart from being stored - only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims or 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.
SSL or TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content (e.g. orders or requests that you send to us as the site operator), this site uses SSL or TLS encryption.

If SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Objection to advertising emails
The contact information published on our website may not be used for sending us unsolicited advertising material. The operators of this website expressly reserve the right to take legal action if advertising information is sent to them in an unsolicited manner, e.g. by way of spam emails.
