Retention Period

Unless a specific retention period has been stated within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for which it was collected no longer applies. If you submit 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 retaining your personal data (e.g., retention periods required by tax or commercial law). In this case, the deletion will occur after these reasons no longer apply.

General Information on the Legal Basis for Data Processing

If you have consented to data processing, your personal data will be processed based on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, if special categories of data according to Art. 9(1) GDPR are processed. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, the data processing is also carried out on the basis of Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you consented to the storage of cookies or to access to information on your device (e.g., device fingerprinting), the data processing is additionally based on § 25(1) TTDSG. The consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract or for pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if this is required to fulfill a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. The data processing can also be based on our legitimate interest according to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Specific legal bases applicable in each case are explained in the following sections of this privacy policy.

Recipients of Personal Data

In the course of our business activities, we work with various external entities. This may also involve the transfer of personal data to external entities. We only transfer personal data to external entities if it is required as part of contract performance, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g., transfer of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR in transferring data, or if another legal basis permits the transfer of data. When using service providers, we transfer personal data of our customers only on the basis of a valid contract for order processing. In the case of joint processing, a contract for joint processing will be concluded.

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 up to the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to Object to Data Collection

If your personal data is being processed on the basis of Art. 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 provisions. If you object, we will no longer process your affected personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims (Art. 21 GDPR).

SSL or TLS Encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser’s address line changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

4. Data Collection on This Website

Server Log Files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are: Browser type and browser version, Operating system used, Referrer URL, Host name of the accessing computer, Time of the server request, IP address.

Contact Form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provide, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

Inquiry by Email, Telephone, or Fax

If you contact us by email, telephone, or fax, your inquiry, including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your request is related to the performance 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 the effective handling of the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this has been requested.

The data sent to us via contact requests 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 your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – especially retention periods – remain unaffected.

5. Newsletter

Newsletter Data

If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we need your email address and information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the specified email address and agree to receive the newsletter. No further data is collected or only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

The processing of the data entered in the newsletter registration form is based solely on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can revoke your consent to the storage of the data, the email address, and their use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data stored with us for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe. Data stored with us for other purposes remain unaffected.
