Note on Data Transfer to Non-Secure Third Countries and Transfer to US Companies not Certified under DPF

We use tools from companies based in non-secure third countries as well as US tools whose providers are not certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these countries. Please note that no data protection level comparable to that of the EU can be guaranteed in non-secure third countries.
We would like to point out that the USA, as a secure third country, generally offers a data protection level comparable to that of the EU. Data transfer to the USA is therefore permissible if the recipient has a certification under the "EU-US Data Privacy Framework" (DPF) or has suitable additional guarantees. Information on transfers to third countries, including data recipients, can be found in this privacy policy.

Recipients of Personal Data

In the course of our business activities, we work with various external parties. It may be necessary to transfer personal data to these external parties. We only pass on personal data to external parties if it is necessary for the performance of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so, (e.g. passing on data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in passing on data in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR or if another legal basis permits the passing on of data. The external parties commissioned by us receive only the personal data necessary for the performance of their respective tasks. The data may only be used by them for the purposes specified by us and in accordance with this privacy policy and the applicable data protection regulations.

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your expressed consent. You can revoke any consent you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

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

If data processing is based on Article 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 respective 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 the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection under Article 21(1) GDPR).
If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such marketing, including profiling related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection under Article 21(2) GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint with a 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 the place of the alleged infringement. This right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format based on your consent or for the performance of a contract, and have the right to transmit those data to another controller where technically feasible.

Access, Rectification, and Erasure

You have the right to obtain, free of charge, information about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients, and the purpose of data processing, as well as a right to correct or erase this data. For this purpose, as well as for further questions regarding 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. This right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

  • If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the examination, 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, but you oppose the deletion of the data and instead request the restriction of the use of the data.
  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to assert, 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 lodged an objection pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the 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 assertion, 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 that you send to us as the website operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line. If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called "session cookies." They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Persistent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or automatic deletion by your web browser occurs. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser the next time you visit our website.

Cookies may originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services from third-party companies within websites (e.g., cookies for processing payment services). Cookies serve various functions. Numerous cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies may be used for evaluating user behavior or for advertising purposes.

  • IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources. The basis for data processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimisation of its website - the server log files must be recorded for this purpose.
