When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data includes any data that can be used to personally identify you. This privacy policy explains which data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens.

We would like to point out that data transmission over the internet (e.g., communication by email) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data from access by third parties is not possible.

The responsible party is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).

Storage Period

Unless a more specific storage period is stated within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you request the deletion of your data or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial retention periods). In the latter case, deletion will occur once these reasons no longer apply.

General Information on the Legal Basis of Data Processing on This Website

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data based on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR if special categories of data according to Art. 9(1) GDPR are processed. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, processing is also based on Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR.

Notice Regarding Data Transfer to the USA and Other Third Countries

We use tools from companies based in the USA or other non-secure third countries. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these countries. We note that these countries cannot guarantee a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU. For example, US companies may be required to hand over personal data to security authorities without allowing you, as the affected individual, to legally challenge this. It cannot be ruled out that US authorities (e.g., intelligence agencies) may process, analyze, and permanently store your data located on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence over these processing activities.

Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may revoke previously granted consent at any time. The legality of data processing carried out prior to withdrawal remains unaffected.

Right to Object to Data Processing in Special Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, 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 WHICH 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 YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR 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 NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Supervisory Authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, affected individuals have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of their habitual residence, workplace, or the place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be carried out where technically feasible.

Right of Access, Erasure, and Correction

Within the framework of applicable law, you have the right at any time to request free information about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients, and the purpose of data processing, as well as, if applicable, the right to request correction or deletion of this data. For this and any further questions concerning personal data, you may contact us at any time.

Right to Restrict Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data. You may contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restrict processing applies in the following cases:

• If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification process, you have the right to request restriction of processing your personal data.
• If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
• If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing instead of deletion.
• If you have lodged an objection under Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of your interests and ours must take place. As long as it has not been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data may—apart from storage—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 a member state.

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, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the browser’s address line changing from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.

When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Cookies serve various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., shopping cart functions or displaying videos). Other cookies may be used to analyze user behavior or for advertising purposes.

If cookies are disabled, the functionality of this website may be limited.

5. Social Media

Instagram

This website integrates features of the Instagram service. These features are provided by Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

When the social media element is active, a direct connection is established between your device and the Instagram server. Instagram thereby receives information indicating that you have visited this website.

If you are logged into your Instagram account, clicking the Instagram button allows you to link content from this website to your Instagram profile. This enables Instagram to associate your visit to this website with your user account. We would like to point out that, as the provider of this website, we have no knowledge of the content of the transmitted data or how it is used by Instagram.

Where consent has been obtained, the use of the service mentioned above is based on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 TTDSG. Consent may be revoked at any time. If no consent has been obtained, use of the service is based on our legitimate interest in achieving the broadest possible visibility in social media.

To the extent that personal data is collected on our website using the tool described here and forwarded to Facebook or Instagram, we and Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland, are jointly responsible for this data processing (Art. 26 GDPR). Joint responsibility is limited exclusively to the collection of data and its transmission to Facebook or Instagram. Any processing carried out by Facebook or Instagram after the data has been transferred is not part of joint responsibility. Our respective responsibilities were defined in an agreement on joint processing. You can view the wording of the agreement here: https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum. According to this agreement, we are responsible for providing data protection information when using the Facebook or Instagram tools, and for implementing the tools on our website in a manner that complies with data protection law. Facebook is responsible for the data security of Facebook and Instagram products. Data subject rights (e.g., requests for information) regarding data processed by Facebook or Instagram may be exercised directly with Facebook. If you assert data subject rights with us, we are required to forward them to Facebook.

Data transfer to the USA is based on the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) of the EU Commission. Details can be found here: https://www.facebook.com/legal/EU_data_transfer_addendum, https://help.instagram.com/519522125107875, and https://de-de.facebook.com/help/566994660333381.

6. Plugins and Tools

Google reCAPTCHA

We use “Google reCAPTCHA” (hereinafter “reCAPTCHA”) on this website. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

reCAPTCHA is used to determine whether data entered on this website (e.g., in a contact form) is being submitted by a human or by an automated program. reCAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of website visitors based on various characteristics. This analysis starts automatically as soon as the visitor enters the website. For analysis purposes, reCAPTCHA evaluates various pieces of information (e.g., IP address, the time the visitor spends on the website, or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google.

reCAPTCHA analyses run entirely in the background. Website visitors are not informed that such an analysis is taking place.

The storage and analysis of data is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its web services from abusive automated spying and from spam. If corresponding consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG, insofar as this consent allows the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. Consent may be revoked at any time.
