When using processors, we only share our customers' personal data based on a valid contract for processing. In the case of joint processing, a contract for joint processing will be concluded.
Revocation of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke any consent you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out up to the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to object to data collection in special cases as well as against direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
IF THE DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6 PAR. 1 LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME, FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS.

This right to complain is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to data portability
You have the right to request that data processed by us on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract be handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only take place to the extent that it is technically feasible.

Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data. You can contact us at any time regarding this. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. During the verification process, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data was unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defense, or assertion of 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 under Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests take precedence, 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 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.
SSL or TLS encryption
This page uses 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. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address bar of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser bar. When SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Objection to advertising emails
The use of contact details published as part of the imprint obligation for the sending of unsolicited advertising and informational materials is hereby opposed. The operators of the sites explicitly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam emails.
4. Data collection on this website
Request via email, telephone, or fax
If you contact us by e-mail, phone, or fax, your inquiry, including any personal data arising from it (name, inquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of dealing with your request. We do not pass on this data without your consent.
The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, provided that your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the execution of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR), provided it has been solicited; consent can be revoked at any time.
The data you send us via contact inquiries will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after the processing of your request is completed). Mandatory legal provisions—particularly statutory retention periods—remain unaffected.
5. Newsletter
Newsletter data
If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an email address from you, as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the provided email address and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No further data will be collected or only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not share it with third parties.
The processing of the data entered in the newsletter signup form takes place exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke your consent to the storage of the data, the email address, and their use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example, via the “Unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The legality of the already completed data processing operations remains unaffected by the revocation.
The data you have provided for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter with us or the newsletter service provider and will be deleted after unsubscribing from the newsletter or after the purpose no longer applies. We reserve the right to delete or block email addresses from our newsletter distribution list at our discretion in the context of our legitimate interests under Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
Data that has been stored with us for other purposes will remain unaffected.
After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored with us or the newsletter service provider on a blacklist if this is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and not combined with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest in the sense of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). The storage in the blacklist is not time-limited. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interests.
