Unless a more specific storage period is mentioned in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for the data processing ceases. 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 law retention periods). In such cases, the data will be deleted after these reasons cease to apply.

General Information on Legal Bases for Data Processing

If you have given consent for 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 pursuant to Art. 9(1) GDPR are processed. In the case of explicit consent for the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also carried out based on Art. 49(1)(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 is additionally based on § 25(1) TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures, we process your data based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if it is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation based on Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Data processing may also be carried out based on our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Specific legal bases for individual cases are described in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.

Recipients of Personal Data

In the course of our business activities, we collaborate with various external entities. This may involve the transfer of personal data to these external entities. We only share personal data with external entities if it is necessary for contract performance, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g., sharing data with tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits data sharing. When using processors, we only share personal data of our customers based on a valid data processing agreement. In cases of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke your previously given consent at any time. The legality of data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)

If data processing is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation, including profiling based on these provisions.

The specific legal basis for 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 the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or if the processing serves to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims (Objection under Art. 21(1) GDPR).

If your personal data is processed for direct advertising purposes, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data for such advertising at any time.
This also applies to profiling, insofar as it is associated with such direct advertising. If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for direct advertising purposes (Objection under Art. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the member state of your habitual residence, workplace, or where the alleged violation occurred. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically based on your consent or in performance of a contract provided to you or a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only take place if it is technically feasible.

Access, Correction, and Deletion

Within the scope of applicable legal provisions, you have the right to free information at any time about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients, and the purpose of the data processing. You also have the right to request the correction or deletion of this data. For this, and for any further questions regarding personal data, you can contact us at any time.

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 applies in the following cases:

If you contest 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 the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
If you have objected under Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

When the processing of your personal data is restricted, such data – apart from their storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or for the protection of 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

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 address line of the browser changing from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Objection to Advertising Emails

The use of contact data published within the framework of the legal notice obligation for the transmission of not explicitly requested advertising and information materials is hereby objected to. The operators of this site expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited advertising information, such as spam emails.

Our website uses "cookies." Cookies are small data packages that do not harm your device.

Persistent cookies remain on your device until you delete them or your web browser performs an automatic deletion.

Cookies can be set by us (first-party cookies) or by third-party companies (third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services provided by third-party companies on websites (e.g., cookies for payment processing).

Cookies serve various purposes. Many cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or displaying videos). Other cookies may be used to analyze user behavior or for advertising purposes.

Cookies necessary for the electronic communication process, for providing certain functions requested by you (e.g., the shopping cart function), or for optimizing the website (e.g., cookies for measuring the web audience) are stored based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent has been requested for storing cookies or using similar recognition technologies, data processing is carried out exclusively based on this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG). Consent can be revoked at any time.

You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set and allow cookies only in specific cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or generally, and enable the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

You can find more information about the cookies and services used on this website in this privacy policy.

Contact Form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, the information provided in the form, including the contact details you entered, will be stored by us for processing your inquiry and for follow-up questions. We do not share this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or required for pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively handling inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), if requested. Consent can be revoked at any time.

The data you enter into the contact form will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after completing your request). Mandatory legal provisions—especially retention periods—remain unaffected.

Inquiries via Email, Telephone, or Fax

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

The data you send to us via inquiries will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after completing your request). Mandatory legal provisions—especially statutory retention periods—remain unaffected.

Comment Function on This Website

In addition to your comment, details such as the time the comment was created, your email address, and, if you are not posting anonymously, your chosen username will be stored.

Storage of IP Address

Our comment function stores the IP addresses of users who post comments. Since we do not review comments before they are published, we need this data to act against the author in cases of legal violations, such as insults or propaganda.

Duration of Comment Storage

Comments and the associated data are stored and remain on this website until the commented content is fully deleted or the comments must be deleted for legal reasons (e.g., offensive comments).

Legal Basis

The storage of comments is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can revoke your consent at any time. A simple email to us is sufficient for this purpose. The legality of data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.
