REVOCATION OF YOUR CONSENT TO DATA PROCESSING

Many data processing operations may be carried out only with your express consent. You may revoke your consent at any time. An informal communication sent to us by e-mail is sufficient. The legality of the data processed until revocation remains unaffected by this revocation.

RIGHT TO OBJECT TO DATA COLLECTION IN SPECIAL CASES AND TO DIRECT MAIL (ART. 21 GDPR)

If data processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6 (1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you shall have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of your personal data, including profiling based on those provisions. For the respective legal basis on which the processing is based, see this privacy statement. If you appeal, we will no longer process your personal data, unless we can provide compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights or freedoms or if the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR).

Where your personal data are processed for direct marketing purposes, you shall have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If you appeal, we will no longer use your personal data for the purpose of direct marketing (objection pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR).

RIGHT OF APPEAL WITH THE COMPETENT SUPERVISORY AUTHORITY

In cases of non-compliance with the GDPR, the parties concerned have the right to lodge an appeal with a supervisory authority, in particular, in the Member State of their habitual residence, their workplace or the place of the alleged infringement. The right of appeal exists notwithstanding any other administrative or judicial remedies.

RIGHT TO DATA PORTABILITY

You have the right to allow data which we automatically process on the basis of your consent or in the fulfillment of a contract to be transferred in conventional machine-readable format to yourself or a third party. Provided that you request the direct transmission of the data to another responsible person, this is carried out only to the extent that is technically possible.

SSL OR TLS ENCRYPTION

This website uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and the protection of private content such as orders or requests that you send to us as the website operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and the lock symbol appears in the browser line. If SSL or TSL encryption is activated, data transmitted by you cannot be read by third parties.

INFORMATION, BLOCKING, DELETION AND CORRECTION

Within the framework of applicable legal requirements, you have at any time the right to free information about your saved personal data, their origin and recipients and the purpose of data processing and, if necessary, a right to correct, block or delete these data. If you have questions relating to this and or other questions on the topic personal data, you can contact us any time at the address indicated in the imprint.

RIGHT TO LIMIT PROCESSING

You have the right to demand the limitation of processing of your personal data. To do so, you may contact us at any time at the address indicated in the imprint. The right to limit processing exists in the following cases:

  • If you challenge the accuracy of your personal data saved by us, we will usually need time to check this. For the duration of the check, you have the right to demand a limitation of processing of your personal data.
  • If processing of your personal data is/was illegal, you may demand a limitation of data processing instead of deletion.
  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you will need them for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, you have the right to demand a limitation of data processing instead of deletion.
  • If you appealed under Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balance between your interests and ours must be established. Unless it is clear whose interests predominate, you have the right to demand limitation of processing of your personal data.

If you have limited the processing of your personal data, they may be processed – apart from their storage – only with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of substantial public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

OBJECTION TO ADVERTISING E-MAILS

We hereby object to the use of contact data published within the framework of the imprint obligation for sending advertising and information that is not expressly requested. The operators of the website expressly reserve the right to pursue legal steps in the event of unsolicited sending of advertising information, for example through spam e-mails.

You can set your browser to always inform you about the placement of cookies and to allow them only on a case-by-case basis, to exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or in general or to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Deactivation of cookies may result in limitation of the functionality of this website.

Cookies required for executing the electronic communication process or for the provision of certain functions desired by you (e.g. shopping basket function) are saved on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a justified interest in the storage of cookies for technically faultless and optimized provision of services. In so far as other cookies (e.g. cookies to analyze your surfing behavior) are saved, these will be handled separately in this privacy statement.

SERVER LOG FILES

The provider of this website automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files that are automatically transmitted to us by your browser. These include:

  • browser type and browser version
  • operating system used
  • referrer URL
  • host name of the accessing computer
  • time of server request
  • IP address (anonymized)

These data are not combined with other data sources.

Collection of these data is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website owners have a justified interest in technically faultless presentation and optimization of this website – for this purpose server log files must be collected.

If you send us requests using the contact form, your information from the request form, including the contact data specified there, will be saved by us for the purpose of processing the request and in the event of follow-up questions. We do not transmit these data without your consent.

Request per email, phone or fax

If you contact us by e-mail, phone or fax, your request including all personal data arising therefrom (name, request) will be saved and processed for the purpose of processing your request. We do not transmit these data without your consent.

These data will be processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR, if your request relates to the fulfilling of a contract or is required for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and/or on our legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, because we have legitimate interest in the effective processing of requests sent to us.

The data sent to us via contact request remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent for saving or the purpose for the data storage ceases to exist (e.g. after complete processing of your request). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.
