Recipients of Personal Data
In the course of our business activities, we work with various external parties. This sometimes also requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only disclose personal data to external parties where this is necessary for the performance of a contract, where we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. disclosure of data to tax authorities), where we have a legitimate interest in the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or where another legal basis permits the transfer. When engaging processors, we disclose our customers’ personal data only on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, an agreement on joint processing is concluded.
Withdrawal of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may withdraw any consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out prior to the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.
Right to object to data collection in specific cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
If data processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. e or f GDPR, you have the right, at any time, to object to the processing of your personal data for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is carried out can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your affected personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override 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 is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently 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 infringements 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. 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 receive the data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or for the fulfilment of a contract, in a commonly used, machine-readable format, and to have it transmitted to you or to a third party. Where you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will be carried out only where technically feasible.
Access, Rectification and Erasure
Within the scope of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain, free of charge, information about your stored personal data, their origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, and, where applicable, a right to rectification or erasure of these data. You can contact us at any time regarding this and any further questions concerning personal data.
Right to Restriction of Processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction applies in the following cases: if you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need time to verify this; for the duration of the verification, 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 may request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure. If we no longer need your personal data but you require them for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of erasure. If you have objected pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of your interests and ours must be carried out; until it has been determined 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, such data—apart from being stored—may be processed only with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.
SSL or TLS Encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content—such as orders or enquiries you send to us as the site operator—this site uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address bar of your browser switches from “http://” to “https://” and by the padlock icon in your browser bar. When SSL/TLS encryption is enabled, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
4. Data Collection on This Website
Contact Form
If you send us enquiries via the contact form, the information you provide in the enquiry form, including the contact details you enter there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing your enquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We will not disclose these data without your consent. The processing of these data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR where your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) where this has been requested; consent may be withdrawn at any time. The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you ask us to erase them, you withdraw your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your enquiry has been fully processed). Mandatory statutory provisions—especially retention periods—remain unaffected.
Enquiries by Email, Telephone or Fax
If you contact us by email, telephone or fax, your enquiry—including all resulting personal data (name, enquiry)—will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We will not disclose these data without your consent.

In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) where this has been requested; consent may be withdrawn at any time. The data you transmit to us in the course of contact enquiries will remain with us until you ask us to erase them, you withdraw your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been fully processed). Mandatory statutory provisions—particularly statutory retention periods—remain unaffected.
