We only share per­so­nal data with exter­nal par­ties when this is requi­red for the ful­fill­ment of a con­tract, when we are legal­ly obli­ga­ted to do so (e.g., sha­ring data with tax aut­ho­ri­ties), when we have a legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest in sha­ring the data under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or when ano­ther legal basis per­mits the data trans­fer. When using pro­ces­sors, we only share per­so­nal data of our cus­to­mers based on a valid data pro­ces­sing agree­ment. In the case of joint pro­ces­sing, a joint pro­ces­sing agree­ment is con­cluded.

Revocation of your consent to data processing

If your per­so­nal data is pro­ces­sed for the pur­po­se of direct mar­ke­ting, you have the right to object at any time to the pro­ces­sing of your per­so­nal data for such mar­ke­ting pur­po­ses; this also appli­es to pro­fil­ing, inso­far as it is rela­ted to such direct mar­ke­ting. If you object, your per­so­nal data will no lon­ger be used for direct mar­ke­ting pur­po­ses (objec­tion under Art. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of brea­ches 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 place of the alle­ged inf­rin­ge­ment.

If you request the direct trans­fer of the data to ano­ther con­trol­ler, this will only take place 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, its ori­gin and reci­pi­ents and the pur­po­se of the data pro­ces­sing and, if neces­sa­ry, a right to cor­rec­tion or dele­ti­on of this data at any time. You can cont­act us at any time if you have fur­ther ques­ti­ons on the sub­ject of per­so­nal data.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request the rest­ric­tion of the pro­ces­sing of your per­so­nal data. You can cont­act us at any time to do this. The right to rest­ric­tion of pro­ces­sing exists in the fol­lo­wing cases:

  • If you dis­pu­te the accu­ra­cy of your per­so­nal data stored by us, we gene­ral­ly need time to check this. You have the right to request the rest­ric­tion of the pro­ces­sing of your per­so­nal data for the dura­ti­on of the review.
  • If the pro­ces­sing of your per­so­nal data was/is car­ri­ed out unlawful­ly, you can request the rest­ric­tion of data pro­ces­sing ins­tead of era­su­re.
  • 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 pur­su­ant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balan­ce must be struck bet­ween your inte­rests and ours. As long as it has not yet 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, this data — apart from its sto­rage — may only be pro­ces­sed with your con­sent or for the estab­lish­ment, 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 of a Mem­ber Sta­te.

SSL or TLS encryption

This site uses 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 site ope­ra­tor. 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.
