Retention period<\/span><\/h5>\n<\/p>\n

Unless a specific storage period is stated in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or withdraw your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible grounds for retaining your personal data (e.g., statutory retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, deletion will take place once those grounds no longer apply.<\/span><\/p>\n

General information on the legal bases for data processing on this website<\/span><\/h5>\n

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 (where special categories of data under Art. 9(1) GDPR are processed). In the event of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing also takes place based on Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), data processing additionally takes place based on Section 25(1) TDDDG. Consent may be withdrawn at any time. If your data is required for the performance of a contract or to take steps prior to entering into a contract, we process your data based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data based on Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR if this is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation. Data processing may also be based on our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Information regarding the specific legal bases applicable in each individual case is provided in the following sections of this privacy policy.<\/p>\n

Recipients of personal data<\/h5>\n

In the course of our business activities, we collaborate with various external entities. This sometimes necessitates the transfer of personal data to these external entities. We only disclose personal data to external entities if this is required for the performance of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g., transferring 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 data transfer. When engaging data processors, we only transfer our customers’ personal data on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the event of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.<\/p>\n

Revocation of your consent to data processing<\/h5>\n

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may revoke consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of data processing carried out prior to the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.<\/p>\n

Right to object to data collection in specific cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)<\/h5>\n

Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR, you have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. Please refer to this privacy policy for the respective legal basis upon which processing is based. If you object, we will no longer process the personal data concerned unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or if the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR).<\/p>\n

Where 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 such marketing; this also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to 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).<\/p>\n

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority<\/h5>\n

In the event of infringements 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. This right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.<\/p>\n

Right to data portability<\/h5>\n

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 common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent that it is technically feasible.<\/p>\n

Information, rectification, and deletion<\/h5>\n

Subject to applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain information free of charge regarding your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, as well as\u2014where applicable\u2014the right to have this data corrected or deleted. You may contact us at any time regarding this matter or for further questions concerning personal data.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Right to restriction of processing<\/h5>\n

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time to do so. The right to restrict processing applies in the following cases:<\/p>\n

If you contest the accuracy of the personal data we hold about you, we generally require time to verify this. For the duration of this verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.<\/p>\n

If the processing of your personal data was or is unlawful, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.<\/p>\n

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 the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of erasure.<\/p>\n

If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of your interests against ours must be carried out. Until it is determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.<\/p>\n

If the processing of your personal data has been restricted, such data may\u2014with the exception of storage\u2014only 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 important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.<\/p>\n

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content\u2014such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator\u2014this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser’s address bar changes from “http:\/\/” to “https:\/\/” and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.<\/p>\n
