General information on the legal bases of data processing on this website

If you have given consent to the processing of data, we process personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and, if special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9(1) GDPR are processed, on the basis of Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR.

Recipients of personal data

In the course of our business activities, we work with various external entities. In some cases, the transfer of personal data to these external entities is necessary. We only pass on personal data to external recipients if this is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g., transfer of data to tax authorities), if there is a legitimate interest in the disclosure according to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or if another legal basis allows the data transfer. When using processors, we only transfer personal data of our customers on the basis of a valid contract for order processing. In the event of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can withdraw any consent you have given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out up to the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF THE PROCESSING OF DATA IS BASED ON ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU MAY OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA AT ANY TIME FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THOSE PROVISIONS. THE SPECIFIC LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED IS STATED 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 WHICH OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA ARE PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING AT ANY TIME; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(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, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

You have the right to receive the data that we process on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and to transmit this data to another controller. If you request the direct transfer of data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible.

Access, correction and deletion

You have the right, under the applicable statutory provisions, at any time to obtain free information about the personal data stored about you, their origin and recipients and the purpose of the processing and, if necessary, a right to rectification or deletion of these data. For this and other questions concerning personal data, you can contact us at any time.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time to do so. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

  • If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we generally 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 processing instead of deletion.
  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you need them for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing instead of deletion.
  • If you have filed an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it is not yet determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data — apart from their storage — may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, 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.
