General Information on the Legal Basis for Data Processing on this Website
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a DSGVO, insofar as special data categories are processed according to Art. 9 para. 1 DSGVO. In the case of express consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, the data processing is also based on Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO.

Notice Concerning Data Transfer to Third Countries Not under Data Protection and to US Companies Not Certified under DPF
We use, among other tools, offerings from companies located in third countries that are under data protection and 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. We point out that no level of data protection comparable to that in the EU can be guaranteed in third countries that are not under data protection.
We point out that the USA is generally considered a secure third country with a level of data protection comparable to the EU. Data transfer to the USA is therefore permissible if the recipient holds certification under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF) or has suitable additional assurances. Information on transfers to third countries, including recipients of data, can be found in this privacy policy.
Recipients of Personal Data
As part of our business activities, we work with various external entities. This sometimes also requires the transfer of personal data to these external entities. We only pass on personal data to external entities if this is necessary for the fulfillment 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 according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO or if another legal basis permits data transfer. When using commissioned processors, we only pass on personal data of our customers on the basis of a valid contract for commissioned processing. In the case of joint processing, a contract for joint processing is concluded.
Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke consent that 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 Advertising (Art. 21 DSGVO)
IF DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6 PARA. 1 LIT. E OR F DSGVO, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. FOR THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH A PROCESSING IS BASED, PLEASE REFER TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA INVOLVED, UNLESS WE CAN PROVIDE PROOF OF COMPELLING LEGITIMATE REASONS 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 PARA. 1 DSGVO).
IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED IN ORDER TO CARRY OUT DIRECT ADVERTISING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH ADVERTISING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT ADVERTISING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL THEREAFTER NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT ADVERTISING (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 PARA. 2 DSGVO).
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, especially in the member state of their habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged violation. The right to lodge a complaint exists regardless of other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to Data Portability
You have the right to have data that we process on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, processed automatically, handed over to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another responsible party, this will only be done if it is technically feasible.
Information, Correction, and Deletion
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to free information about your stored personal data, their origin, and recipients, the purpose of the data processing, and, if applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data. For this, as well as further questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at any time.
Right to Restriction of Processing
You have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data. To do this, you can contact us at any time. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
- If you dispute the accuracy of the personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data.
- If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
- If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
- If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 DSGVO, a balance between your interests and ours must be struck. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data may only be processed, apart from its storage, 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 significant 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 requests that you send to us as the site 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.
4. Data Collection on this Website
Cookies
Our internet pages use so-called "cookies". Cookies are small data packets and do not harm your terminal device. They are stored on your terminal device either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your terminal device until you delete them yourself or your web browser automatically deletes them.
Cookies can be from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies allow certain services from third-party companies to be integrated into websites (e.g., cookies for processing payment services).
Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies can be used to evaluate user behavior or for advertising purposes.
Cookies required to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions desired by you (e.g., for the shopping cart function), or to optimize the website (e.g., cookies for measuring the web audience) are stored based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies was requested, processing takes place only on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO and § 25 para. 1 TDDG); the consent can be revoked at any time.
You can set your browser to notify you about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and enable the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. When cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be limited.
You can find out which cookies and third-party services are used on this website in this privacy policy.
5. Social Media
Social Media Elements with Shariff
This website uses elements from social media (e.g., Facebook, X, Instagram, Pinterest, XING, LinkedIn, Tumblr).
You can usually recognize the social media elements by the respective social media logos. To ensure data protection on this website, we only use these elements together with the so-called Shariff solution. This application prevents the social media elements integrated on this website from transmitting your personal data to the respective provider when you first enter the site.
Only when you activate the respective social media element by clicking the associated button will a direct connection to the provider's server be established (consent). As soon as you activate the social media element, the respective provider receives the information that you have visited this website with your IP address. If you are simultaneously logged in to your respective social media account (e.g., Facebook), the respective provider can assign your visit to this website to your user account.
Activating the plugin constitutes consent within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO and § 25 para. 1 TDDG. This consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.
The use of the service occurs to obtain the legally required consents for the use of certain technologies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c DSGVO.
Tumblr
This website uses buttons and other elements of the Tumblr service. The provider is Tumblr, Inc., 35 East 21st St, 10th Floor, New York, NY 10010, USA.
When the social media element is active, a direct connection between your terminal device and the Tumblr server is established. Tumblr thus receives information about your visit to this website.
The Tumblr buttons allow you to share a post or page on Tumblr or follow the provider on Tumblr. When you access one of our websites with a Tumblr button, the browser establishes a direct connection to the servers of Tumblr. We have no influence on the scope of the data that Tumblr collects and transmits using this plugin. According to the current status, the IP address of the user and the URL of the respective website are transmitted.
The use of this service is based on your consent under Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO and § 25 para. 1 TDDG. The consent can be revoked at any time.
