Legal Bases for Data Processing on This Website

If you consent to data processing, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or, where special categories of data are processed, on Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR. If consent includes data transfer to third countries, processing also occurs under Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR.

If you consent to storage of cookies or similar technologies (e.g. device fingerprinting), processing also takes place under § 25(1) TDDDG. Consent may be revoked at any time.

If your data is required to fulfil a contract or pre-contractual measures, we process it under Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

If required by law, processing occurs under Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.

Processing may also occur based on our legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Specific legal bases are explained in the sections below.

Recipients of Personal Data

In the course of business operations, we work with external service providers. Personal data is shared only when necessary for contract fulfilment, legal requirements, legitimate interest (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or other lawful grounds.

Data is transferred to processors only under valid processing agreements. In joint processing, a joint processing agreement is established.

Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processes are only possible with your explicit consent. You may withdraw consent at any time. The legality of processing prior to withdrawal remains unaffected.

Right to Object (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, INCLUDING PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS.

IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL STOP PROCESSING YOUR DATA UNLESS THERE ARE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS, OVERRIDING YOUR RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR PROCESSING SERVES LEGAL CLAIMS (ART. 21(1) GDPR).

IF YOUR DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU MAY OBJECT AT ANY TIME. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING RELATED TO DIRECT MARKETING. IN SUCH A CASE, YOUR DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING (ART. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint With a Supervisory Authority

In cases of GDPR violations, individuals have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in their country of residence or workplace. This right exists without prejudice to other legal remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive data processed automatically on the basis of your consent or contract in a machine-readable format for yourself or a third party. If you request direct transfer to another controller, this will occur only if technically feasible.

Right to Access, Correction and Deletion

You have the right to free access to your stored personal data, its origin, recipients and processing purpose, and may request correction or deletion within legal limits. For this and any additional personal data inquiries, you may contact us at any time.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You may request restriction of data processing under the following conditions:

 

  • If accuracy of stored data is contested, for the duration of verification.

  • If processing is unlawful, but you request restriction instead of deletion.

  • If we no longer need the data, but you require it for legal claims.

  • If an objection under Art. 21(1) GDPR is lodged and balancing of interests is pending.

 

When processing is restricted, personal data may be processed only with consent or for legal claims or protection of rights of others or for reasons of important public interest.

SSL / TLS Encryption

For security and to protect transmission of confidential content (e.g. orders, inquiries), this website uses SSL / TLS encryption.

You can recognise encrypted connections by the switch from http:// to https:// and by the lock symbol in your browser.
