If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial retention periods); in the latter case, the data will be deleted once these reasons no longer apply.
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, if special categories of data are processed according to Art. 9(1) GDPR.

When using processors, we only pass on personal data based on a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time to do so. The right to restrict processing applies in the following cases:
If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. During the verification period, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may request restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
If we no longer need your personal data but you need it to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of the processing instead of deletion.
If you have objected under Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. Until it is determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change in the address line of the browser from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock icon in your browser bar.
When SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Our website uses so-called “cookies.” Cookies are small data packets and do not cause any damage to your device. They may be stored temporarily during a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Persistent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them or they are automatically removed by your browser.
Cookies can be set by us (first-party cookies) or by third-party companies (third-party cookies). Third-party cookies allow the integration of certain services from third-party companies on websites (e.g., payment service providers).
Cookies serve various purposes. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., shopping cart function or video display). Other cookies may be used to analyze user behavior or for advertising purposes.
Cookies necessary for electronic communications, for certain functions requested by you (e.g., shopping cart function), or for optimizing the website (e.g., audience measurement cookies) are stored based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is provided. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent was requested, cookies are processed exclusively based on this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG); consent may be withdrawn at any time.
You can configure your browser to notify you about the use of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and enable automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser.

If you contact us by email, phone, or fax, your request, including all resulting personal data (name, request), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not share this data without your consent.
Data is processed based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, if your request is related to the performance of a contract or necessary to take steps prior to entering into a contract. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively handling the requests addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), if it was obtained; this consent can be revoked at any time.
The data you send to us via contact inquiries will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for the data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been fully processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular, retention periods – remain unaffected.
We use “Google reCAPTCHA” (hereafter “reCAPTCHA”) on this website. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
reCAPTCHA is used to check whether data entered on this website (e.g., in a contact form) was entered by a human or by an automated program. reCAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of the website visitor based on various characteristics. This analysis begins automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the site. reCAPTCHA evaluates various data (e.g., IP address, how long the visitor stays on the website, or mouse movements). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google.
reCAPTCHA analyses run entirely in the background. Visitors are not notified that an analysis is taking place.
The data is stored and analyzed based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its site from abusive automated spying and spam. If consent was requested, the processing is based solely on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG, if it includes the storage of cookies or access to device information (e.g., device fingerprinting) as defined in TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.
