‍The responsible body is the natural or legal person who, alone or together with others, decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, e-mail addresses, etc.).
‍
Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

Many data processing processes are only possible with your express consent. You can withdraw consent that you have already given at any time. All you need to do is send us an informal message by e-mail. The legality of the data processing carried out up to the time of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
‍
Right to object to data collection in special cases and against direct marketing (Article 21 GDPR) If data processing is based on Article 6 (1) (e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy policy. If you file an objection, we will no longer process your personal data concerned, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims (objection under Article 21 (1) GDPR) .If your personal data is processed for direct marketing, you have the right to object to the processing of personal data concerning you at any time to use data for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling, insofar as it is associated with such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will then no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection under Article 21 (2) GDPR).
Right to lodge a complaint with the competent 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, place of work or place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

‍Right to data portability

‍You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to yourself or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another person responsible, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.

‍SSL or TLS encryptionFor 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 site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection when the browser's address line changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock icon in your browser line.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data that you submit to us cannot be read by third parties.

‍
Information, blocking, deletion and correction

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to receive information free of charge about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of data processing and, if applicable, a right to correct, block or delete this data. You can contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice for this and for further questions on the subject of personal data.

‍Right to restrict processing

‍You have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted. To do so, you can contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice. The right to restrict processing exists in the following cases:
- If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the audit, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.
- 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 to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted instead of deletion.
- If you have filed an objection in accordance with Article 21 (1) GDPR, a balance must be made between your interests and ours. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data — apart from storage — may only be processed with your consent or to assert, exercise or defend legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

‍4. Data collection on our website

cookies

‍Some of the websites use so-called cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and do not contain any viruses. Cookies are used to make our website more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.
Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies.” They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser the next time you visit.
You can set your browser so that you are informed when cookies are set and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when you close the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be limited.
Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions you have requested (e.g. shopping cart function) are stored on the basis of Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. Insofar as other cookies (e.g. cookies to analyze your surfing behavior) are stored, they are treated separately in this privacy policy. I agree with the cookie policy.

‍server log files

‍The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us.

These are:
Browser type and browser version
operating system used
referrer URL
host name of the accessing computer
Time of server request
IP address

This data is not combined with other data sources.

This data is collected on the basis of Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of his website — for this purpose, the server log files must be collected.

‍contact form

‍If you send us inquiries via the contact form, we will store your details from the enquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We will not share this data without your consent.

The data entered in the contact form is therefore processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO). You can withdraw this consent at any time. All you need to do is send us an informal message by e-mail. The lawfulness of the data processing operations carried out up to the time of revocation remains unaffected. The data you entered in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, withdraw your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage ceases to apply (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions — in particular retention periods — remain unaffected.

‍Request by e-mail, telephone or fax

‍If you contact us by email, telephone or fax, your request, including all resulting personal data (name, request), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We will not share this data without your consent. This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO, provided that your request is related to the fulfilment of a contract or is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO) and/or on our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO), as we have a legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries addressed to us. The data you send us via contact requests will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to store it or the purpose for data storage ceases to apply (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions — in particular statutory retention periods — remain unaffected.
