Storage Duration
Unless a more specific storage period is specified within this privacy policy, your personal data remains with us until the purpose for data processing ceases. If you assert a legitimate deletion request or revoke consent for 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, deletion occurs after these reasons no longer apply.
General Information on the Legal Basis for Data Processing on this Website
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR if special categories of data pursuant to Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR are processed. In the case of an explicit consent to transfer personal data to third countries, data processing also occurs on the basis of Art. 49 para. 1 lit. 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 occurs on the basis of § 25 para. 1 TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is necessary for the performance of a contract or the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if it is required to fulfill a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. Data processing may also be based on our legitimate interest under Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The specific legal bases applicable in each individual case are provided in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.
Information on Data Transfer to the USA and Other Third Countries
We use tools from companies based in the USA or other countries not considered data protection safe. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these third countries and processed there. We point out that no EU-comparable level of data protection can be guaranteed in these countries. For example, US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you as the data subject being able to take legal action. It cannot therefore be excluded that US authorities (e.g., intelligence agencies) process, analyze, and permanently store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.
Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke consent at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected.
Right to Object to Data Collection in Certain Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
If data processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e or f GDPR, you have the right at any time 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 legal basis for the processing can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or if processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection under Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR).
If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such advertising purposes. This also applies to profiling insofar as 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 para. 2 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, especially in the member state of their habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement. This right exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to Data Portability
You have the right to receive data that we process automatically based on your consent or for the performance of a contract, in a commonly used, machine-readable format, either to yourself or to a third party. Direct transfer to another controller is only carried out if technically feasible.
Access, Correction, and Deletion
You have the right under applicable law to request free information about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients, and the purpose of data processing, as well as the right to correction or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time regarding this or other questions concerning personal data.
Right to Restrict Processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restrict 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 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 require it to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing instead of deletion.
- If you have lodged an objection under Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, a balancing of your interests and ours must be carried out. As long as it is not yet determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data may only be processed – apart from its storage – with your consent or for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims, to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a member state.
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. An encrypted connection can be recognized by the change of the browser address line from “http://” to “https://” and the lock symbol in your browser bar.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Cookies
Our websites use so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small data packages and do not harm your device. They are stored either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or until automatic deletion occurs through your web browser.
Cookies may come from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies allow the integration of certain services from third-party companies within websites (e.g., cookies for processing payment services).
Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary because 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 communication, providing certain requested functions (e.g., shopping cart function), or optimizing the website (e.g., cookies for measuring website audience) are stored based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f 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 storing cookies and similar recognition technologies has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively based on this consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG); consent can be revoked at any time.
You can set your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude acceptance of cookies for specific cases or generally, and enable automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
Which cookies and services are used on this website can be found in this privacy policy.
Contact Form
If you send inquiries via contact form, your information from the inquiry form, including the contact data you provide there, will be stored for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. This data will not be shared without your consent.
Processing of this data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR if your inquiry is related to the performance of a contract or necessary for pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively handling inquiries directed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if requested; consent can be revoked at any time.
The data you enter in the contact form remains with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent for storage, or the purpose of data storage ceases (e.g., after your inquiry has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – especially retention periods – remain unaffected.
