The following information provides a simple overview of what happens to your personal data when you visit this website. Personal data refers to all data that can be used to identify you personally. For detailed information on data protection, please refer to our Privacy Policy below.

The data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator. You can find their contact details in the “Information about the Responsible Party” section of this Privacy Policy. Your data is collected in two ways: data that you provide to us, for instance, by entering information into a contact form, and data collected automatically or with your consent when visiting the website, mainly technical data (e.g., internet browser, operating system, or time of page access). This data is collected automatically as soon as you visit our website. Part of the data is collected to ensure the error-free provision of the website. Other data may be used to analyze your user behavior.

You have the right to receive information about the origin, recipient, and purpose of your stored personal data free of charge at any time. You also have the right to request the correction or deletion of this data. If you have given consent for data processing, you can withdraw this consent at any time for the future. You also have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data under certain circumstances. Furthermore, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. You can contact us at any time with questions about data protection.

Our website content is hosted by United Domains, a service provider of United Internet AG, Gautinger Str. 10, 82319 Starnberg, referred to as “United Domains.” When visiting our website, United Domains collects various log files, including your IP addresses. For more details, please see the United Domains Privacy Policy: [Link to United Domains Privacy Policy]. The use of United Domains is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, as we have a legitimate interest in the most reliable display of our website. If consent has been obtained, processing will only take place based on Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TTDSG, provided the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to user device information (e.g., device fingerprinting) under TTDSG. Consent can be withdrawn at any time. We have signed a data processing agreement (DPA) with United Domains to ensure that United Domains processes the personal data of our website visitors only according to our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

Unless a specific storage period is mentioned in this Privacy Policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing ceases to apply. If you make a legitimate request for deletion or withdraw your consent for data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., retention periods under tax or commercial law); in this case, deletion occurs after these reasons no longer apply.

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data based on Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR if special categories of data are processed under Article 9(1) GDPR. If there is explicit consent for the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also based on Article 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to access information on your device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), data processing is additionally based on Section 25(1) TTDSG. Consent can be withdrawn at any time. If your data is required to fulfill a contract or pre-contractual measures, we process your data based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if it is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation based on Article 6(1)(c) GDPR. Data processing can also be based on our legitimate interest according to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The relevant legal basis for data processing in each case is explained in the following paragraphs of this Privacy Policy.

We use tools from companies based in the USA or other countries that do not provide the same level of data protection as the EU. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these third countries and processed there. We point out that these countries cannot guarantee a level of data protection comparable to that in the EU. For example, US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you having the possibility to take legal action. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that US authorities (e.g., intelligence services) process, analyze, and permanently store your data on US servers. We have no influence over these processing activities.

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

WHEN 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, INCLUDING PROFILING BASED ON THOSE PROVISIONS. THE 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 IS FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ARTICLE 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 PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR SUCH MARKETING, INCLUDING PROFILING IN CONNECTION 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).

In case 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 exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

You have the right to have data that we process based on your consent or in the performance of a contract delivered 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 technically feasible.

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time 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. You can contact us at any time with questions about personal data.

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can 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 usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
• If the processing of your personal data 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 establish 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 under Article 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your and our interests. As long as it is not 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, this data 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 a Member State.

We hereby object to the use of contact data published within the framework of the legal notice obligation for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and informational materials. The operators of this site expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited promotional information, such as spam emails.

Our website uses "cookies." Cookies are small data packets that do not cause any damage to your device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or your web browser deletes them automatically. In some cases, cookies from third-party companies may also be stored on your device when you enter our site (third-party cookies). These enable us or you to use certain services provided by the third-party company (e.g., cookies for payment processing). Cookies have different functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart or displaying videos). Other cookies are used to analyze user behavior or display advertisements. Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions you desire (e.g., the shopping cart function), or to optimize the website (e.g., cookies for measuring web audience) are stored based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the error-free and optimized provision of their services. If consent to the storage of cookies and similar recognition technologies has been requested, processing is based exclusively on this consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TTDSG); consent can be withdrawn at any time. You can set your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or generally, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted. Insofar as cookies from third-party companies or for analysis purposes are used, we will inform you about this separately in this Privacy Policy and, if necessary, ask for your consent.

The provider of these pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are: browser type and version, operating system used, referrer URL, hostname of the accessing computer, time of the server request, and IP address. This data is not combined with other data sources. The collection of this data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of their website — for this, the server log files must be recorded.

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not share this data without your consent. The processing of this data is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, provided your request is related to the performance of a contract or necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries addressed to us (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this has been requested; consent can be withdrawn at any time. The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request deletion, withdraw your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions — especially retention periods — remain unaffected.

If you contact us by email, phone, or fax, your inquiry, including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not pass on this data without your consent. The processing of this data is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, provided your inquiry is related to the performance of a contract or necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of the inquiries addressed to us (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this has been requested; consent can be withdrawn at any time. The data you send us via contact inquiries will remain with us until you request deletion, withdraw your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been completed). Mandatory legal provisions — especially statutory retention periods — remain unaffected.
