Recipients of Personal Data
In the course of our business activities, we collaborate with various external entities. This sometimes requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only disclose personal data to external parties if it is necessary for contract fulfillment, if we are legally obligated to do so (e.g., disclosure to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR in disclosing the data, or if another legal basis permits data disclosure. When using processors, we only disclose personal data of our customers based on a valid contract for data processing. In cases of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.
Withdrawal of Your Consent for Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke consent you have given at any time. The legality of data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 of the GDPR)
IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) OF THE GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT 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 RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL 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 PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 21(1) OF THE 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 CONCERNING SUCH MARKETING, INCLUDING 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 ARTICLE 21(2) OF THE GDPR).
Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent 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, their place of work, or the place of the alleged violation. This right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to Data Portability
You have the right to receive the data that we process based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract in an automated manner, handed over to yourself or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request direct transmission of the data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent that it is technically feasible.
Access, Rectification, and Erasure
You have the right, within the scope of applicable legal provisions, to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients, and the purpose of data processing, as well as the right to rectify or erase this data. For this purpose, as well as for further questions regarding personal data, you can contact us at any time.
Right to Restriction of Processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time to exercise this right. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
- If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually 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 was/will be unlawfully conducted, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
- 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 erasure.
- If you have objected pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it is not yet determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
When you have restricted the processing of your personal data, except for storage, these data may 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.

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries, that you send to us as the site operator, this page uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change of the browser's address line from "http://" to "https://" and by the padlock icon in your browser's address bar.

The use of contact data published within the scope of the imprint obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and information materials is hereby objected to. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam emails.

Our website uses so-called "cookies." Cookies are small data packets that do not harm your device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Persistent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or an automatic deletion is performed by your web browser.
Cookies can be set by us (first-party cookies) or by 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 payment processing services).
Cookies serve various functions. Numerous cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies may be used for analyzing user behavior or advertising purposes.
Cookies that are necessary for carrying out electronic communication processes, for providing certain functions requested by you (e.g., for the shopping cart function), or for optimizing the website (e.g., cookies for measuring web audience) (necessary cookies), are stored based on Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent for the storage of cookies and similar recognition technologies has been requested, processing is based exclusively on this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and § 25(1) of the German Federal Data Protection Act (TTDSG)); consent can be revoked at any time.
You can configure your browser to notify you about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Inquiries via Email, Telephone, or Fax
When you contact us via email, telephone, or fax, your inquiry including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not disclose this data without your consent.
The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, provided your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively processing the inquiries directed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR) if it has been obtained; the consent can be revoked at any time.
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 completing the processing of your request). Mandatory legal provisions, especially retention periods under applicable laws, remain unaffected.
