In the following, we inform you about the type and scope of the processing of your personal data as well as the rights to which you are entitled.

When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data with which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how this is done and for what purpose.

We would like to point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps. Complete protection of the data against access by third parties is not possible.

The controller decides alone or jointly with others on the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g. names, contact details or similar).

Basics for data processing

We process personal data only in compliance with the relevant data protection regulations. This means that the data of the users are processed only in the presence of a legal permission, that is,

  • in order to provide our contractual services (e.g. processing of orders) and online services, or these are required by law (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b. and c. GDPR)
  • your consent has been given (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a. and Art. 7 GDPR), as well as
  • based on our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimization and economic operation and security of our online offer within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR, in particular in measuring reach, creating profiles for advertising and marketing purposes, and collecting access data and using third-party services).
Data transmission to third parties

Data is only passed on to third parties within the framework of legal requirements. We only disclose user data to third parties if this is necessary, for example, for contractual purposes or on the basis of legitimate interests in the economic and effective operation of our business.

Where we use subcontractors to provide our services, we take appropriate legal precautions and corresponding technical and organizational measures to ensure the protection of personal data in accordance with the relevant legal requirements.

Data transfer to a third country or an international organization

Third countries are countries in which the GDPR is not directly applicable law. This basically includes all countries outside the EU or the European Economic Area.

No data is transferred to a third country or an international organization without your consent or without a legal basis.

If applicable, note on data transfer to the USA and other third countries

Among other things, we use tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that are not secure under data protection law. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these third countries. We would like to point out that no level of data protection comparable to that in the EU can be guaranteed in these countries. For example, U.S. companies are obligated to release personal data to security authorities without you, the data subject, being able to take legal action against this. It can therefore not be ruled out that U.S. authorities (e.g. intelligence agencies) process, evaluate and permanently store your data located on U.S. servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.

Storage duration

Data that we store is blocked for further use when the corresponding authorization ceases to apply, in particular after the purpose has been achieved, and is deleted after expiry of the retention periods under tax and commercial law, unless you have expressly consented to the further use of your data or something else has been contractually agreed.

Data that you enter as part of an application process is stored for a maximum of 6 months.

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Only with your explicit consent are some operations of data processing possible. A revocation of your already given consent is possible at any time. For the revocation an informal communication by e-mail is sufficient. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to complain to the competent supervisory authority

As a data subject, you have a right of appeal to the competent supervisory authority in the event of a data protection breach. The competent supervisory authority with regard to data protection issues is the state data protection commissioner of the federal state in which our company’s registered office is located. The following link provides a list of data protection officers and their contact details:https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to third parties. The provision takes place in a machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.

Right to information, correction, blocking, deletion

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, the origin of the data, their recipients and the purpose of the data processing and, if applicable, a right to correction, blocking or deletion of this data. In this regard and also for further questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at any time via the contact options listed in the imprint.
