How do we collect your data?

Your data are collected in two ways: firstly, when you provide them to us—for example by entering data into a contact form.

Part of the data is collected to ensure error-free operation of the website. Other data may be used to analyze your user behavior. If contracts are concluded or initiated via the website, the transmitted data will also be processed for contract offers, orders, or other service inquiries.

What rights do you have regarding your data?

You have the right at any time to receive free information about the origin, recipients, and purpose of your stored personal data. You also have the right to request correction or deletion of these data. If you have given consent to data processing, you may withdraw this consent at any time for the future. You also have the right to request restriction of processing under certain circumstances. Furthermore, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.

For this and any other questions on the subject of data protection, you can contact us at any time.

General Notes on the Legal Bases for Data Processing on This Website

If you have given consent 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 are processed.

Recipients of Personal Data

In the course of our business operations, we work with various external parties. Transferring personal data to these external parties may be necessary. We only pass on personal data to external parties if required for contract performance, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g., disclosure to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the transfer. When using processors, we only transfer personal data based on a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, we conclude a joint processing agreement.

Withdrawal of Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing transactions are only possible with your explicit consent. You can withdraw previously given consent at any time. Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before withdrawal.

Right to Object 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 TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR 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 UNDER ART. 21(1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR SUCH MARKETING, INCLUDING PROFILING TO THE EXTENT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Responsible Supervisory Authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the member state of their habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to transmit that data to another controller, where technically feasible, if processing is based on consent or a contract.

Right to Access, Rectification, and Deletion

You have, under applicable law, the right to obtain free information on your stored personal data, their origin, recipients, and the purpose of processing, and, if applicable, a right to rectification or deletion of these data. For this and any other questions about personal data, you can contact us at any time.

Right to Restrict Processing

You have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time. The right to restrict processing applies in the following cases:

  • If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we need time to verify. During the verification period, you can request restriction of processing.
  • If processing is unlawful, you may request restriction instead of deletion.
  • If we no longer need your data but you need them to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims, you may request restriction instead of deletion.
  • If you have objected under Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance of interests is pending—during this period, you may request restriction of processing.

If processing is restricted, these data may only be processed—with the exception of storage—with your consent, for legal claims, to protect another person’s rights, or for important public interest reasons of the EU or a member state.

SSL/TLS Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content (e.g., orders or inquiries you send to us), this site uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the switch from “http://” to “https://” in your browser’s address bar and by the lock icon in your browser line.

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

If you are logged into your Instagram account, clicking the Instagram button will link content from this website to your Instagram profile. This allows Instagram to associate your visit with your user account. We, as the website provider, have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or its use by Instagram.

Under this agreement, we are responsible for providing data protection information when using the Facebook/Instagram tools and for secure implementation on our website. Facebook is responsible for data security of its products. You can assert your rights (e.g., access requests) regarding data processed by Facebook or Instagram directly with Facebook.
