WITHDRAWAL OF YOUR CONSENT TO DATA PROCESSING

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

RIGHT TO OBJECT TO DATA COLLECTION IN SPECIAL CASES AND AGAINST DIRECT ADVERTISING (ART. 21 GDPR)

If data processing is based on ART. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to the processing of your personal data; this also applies to 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 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 assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection pursuant to ART. 21(1) GDPR).

If your personal data is processed for direct advertising purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such advertising; this also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct advertising.

RIGHT TO LODGE A COMPLAINT WITH THE 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, their place of work, or the place of the alleged violation. 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 automatically based on your consent or for the performance of a contract, in a commonly used, machine-readable format, and to have it transmitted to yourself or to a third party. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent that it is technically feasible.

SSL/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 site operator, this page uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser's address bar changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the padlock symbol in your browser bar. When SSL/TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

INFORMATION, DELETION, AND CORRECTION

You have the right, within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, to free information about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients, and the purpose of data processing, and, if necessary, a right to correction or deletion of this data. For this purpose, as well as for further questions regarding personal data, you can contact us at any time using the address provided in the imprint.

RIGHT TO RESTRICTION OF PROCESSING

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. For this purpose, you can contact us at any time using the address provided in the imprint. The right to restrict 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 review, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
• If the processing of your personal data happened/happens unlawfully, 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 filed an objection pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR, a balance between your interests and ours must be weighed. 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, aside from storage, these data 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 a significant public interest of the European Union or a member state.

OBJECTION TO PROMOTIONAL EMAILS

The use of contact information published within the scope of the legal notice obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and informational materials is hereby objected to. The operators of this website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as through spam emails.

SOCIAL MEDIA

SOCIAL MEDIA DATA PROCESSING BY SOCIAL NETWORKS

We maintain publicly accessible profiles on social networks. The specific social networks we use are listed below. Social networks like Facebook, Instagram, etc. can generally comprehensively analyze your user behavior when you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g., like buttons or advertising banners). Visiting our social media presences triggers numerous data processing activities with data protection implications.

In detail: If you are logged into your social media account and visit our social media presence, the operator of the social media portal can associate this visit with your user account. Your personal data may also be collected if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal. In this case, data collection may occur, for example, through cookies stored on your device or by collecting your IP address.

The data collected in this way allows the operators of the social media portals to create user profiles that contain your preferences and interests. This enables interest-based advertising to be displayed to you both within and outside the respective social media presence. If you have an account with the respective social network, interest-based advertising can be displayed on all devices on which you are logged in or have been logged in. Please note that we cannot fully trace all processing activities on social media portals. Depending on the provider, additional processing activities may therefore be carried out by the operators of the social media portals. For details, refer to the terms of use and privacy policies of the respective social media portals.

LEGAL BASIS

Our social media presences aim to ensure a comprehensive presence on the internet. This constitutes a legitimate interest pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on different legal bases, as stated by the operators of the social networks (e.g., consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR). .

CONTROLLER AND EXERCISING RIGHTS

When you visit one of our social media presences (e.g., Facebook), we are jointly responsible with the operator of the social media platform for the data processing activities triggered during this visit. You can assert your rights (access, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability, and complaint) against us as well as against the operator of the respective social media portal (e.g., against Facebook). Please note that despite our joint responsibility with the social media portal operators, we do not have full influence over the data processing activities of the social media portals. Our options are largely determined by the corporate policies of the respective provider.

STORAGE DURATION

The data directly collected by us via the social media presence is deleted from our systems as soon as the purpose for its storage ceases to exist, you request its deletion, revoke your consent for storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory legal provisions – especially retention periods – remain unaffected. We have no control over the storage duration of your data stored by the operators of the social media networks for their own purposes. For details, please refer directly to the operators of the social media networks (e.g., in their privacy policies, see below).

Google Analytics allows the website operator to analyze the behavior of website visitors. The website operator receives various usage data, such as page views, dwell time, operating systems used, and the user's origin. This data may be summarized by Google in a profile that is associated with the respective user or their device.

Google Analytics uses technologies that enable the recognition of the user for the purpose of analyzing user behavior (e.g., cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google about the use of this website is usually transmitted to a server in the USA and stored there.

The use of this analysis tool is based on Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both its web offering and its advertising. If consent has been obtained for data processing (e.g., consent to store cookies), the processing is based exclusively on Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time.

IP Anonymization

We have activated the IP anonymization function on this website. This means that your IP address will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services related to website activity and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

This allows reports to be generated that contain information about the age, gender, and interests of site visitors. This data comes from Google's interest-based advertising and visitor data from third parties. This data cannot be assigned to a specific person. You can disable this function at any time in the ad settings in your Google account or generally prohibit the collection of your data by Google Analytics as described in the section "Objection to data collection."
