The controller 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 duration
Unless a more specific storage period is mentioned within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing ceases to apply. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke consent for data processing, your data will be deleted, provided we have no other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial retention periods); in the latter case, deletion will occur after these reasons no longer apply.
General information on the legal basis for data processing on this website
If you have consented to data processing, we shall process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, where special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9(1) GDPR are processed. In the event of express consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing shall also be based on Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to the access of information on your end device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), data processing shall additionally be based on § 25(1) TDDDG. Consent can be withdrawn at any time. If your data are required for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we shall process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, we shall process your data if this is necessary for the fulfilment of a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Data processing may also take place on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The respective legal bases applicable in individual cases shall be informed about in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.
Recipients of personal data
As part of our business activities, we work with various external parties. This sometimes requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only transfer personal data to external parties if it is necessary for the performance of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g., disclosure of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the transfer pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the data transfer. When using processors, we only transfer our customers' personal data on the basis of a valid order processing agreement. In the event of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.
Withdrawal of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can withdraw consent already given at any time. The lawfulness of any data processing carried out prior to withdrawal shall remain unaffected by the withdrawal.
Right to object in special cases and to direct marketing (Article 21 GDPR)
Where 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. You can find the relevant legal basis on which a processing operation is based in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims (objection pursuant to 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 WHERE IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE PROCESSED FOR MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).
Right of complaint to the responsible supervisory authority
In the event of an infringement 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, their place of work or the place of the alleged infringement. The right to complain shall be without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.
Right to data portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfilment of a contract handed over to you or a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent that it is technically feasible.
Information, rectification and deletion
Under the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free access to information about your stored personal data, their origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, and, if applicable, a right to rectification or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose, as well as for further questions concerning 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 for this purpose. The right to restrict processing exists in the following cases:
- If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we will generally require 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 took place/takes place 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 establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
- If you have lodged an objection under Article 21(1) of the GDPR, a balancing of your interests and our interests must be carried out. 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 may – apart from its storage – only be processed with your consent, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of an important public interest of the Union or of a Member State.
SSL or TLS encryption
This page uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser's address bar changes from „http://“ to „https://“ and by the padlock symbol in your browser bar.
When SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data you send us cannot be read by third parties.
Objection to marketing emails
The use of contact details published within the scope of legal notice requirements for the sending of unsolicited advertising and information material is hereby objected to. The operators of the websites expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited advertising information, such as spam emails.
4. Data collection on this website
Biscuits
Our websites use so-called „cookies“. Cookies are small data packets and do not cause any damage to your device. They are either stored temporarily on your device for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or your web browser automatically deletes them.
Cookies can originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable certain services from third-party companies to be integrated into websites (e.g. cookies for processing payment services).
Cookies have different functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping basket function or the display of videos). Other cookies can be used for analysing user behaviour or for advertising purposes.
Cookies that are necessary for the electronic communication process, for the provision of certain functions desired by you (e.g. for the shopping cart function) or for the optimisation of the website (e.g. cookies for measuring the web audience) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically flawless and optimised provision of its services. If consent has been requested for the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies, the processing will be carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG); the consent can be revoked at any time.
You can set up your browser to inform you about the placement of cookies and to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted.

Complianz is hosted on our servers, meaning no connection is made to the Complianz provider's servers. Complianz stores a cookie in your browser to be able to assign the consents you have given or withdrawn. The data collected in this way is stored until you request its deletion, you delete the Complianz cookie yourself, or the purpose for data storage ceases to apply. Mandatory statutory retention periods remain unaffected.
Complianz is used to obtain legally required consents for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR.

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:

- IP address
There will be no merging of this data with other data sources.
The collection of this data is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically flawless presentation and optimisation of its website – this requires the server log files to be collected.

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details provided by you, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We will not disclose this data without your consent.
The processing of this data is based on Article 6 (1)(b) GDPR, if your request relates to the fulfilment of a contract or is necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of your enquiries (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 remains with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent for storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been fully processed). Mandatory legal provisions – particularly retention periods – remain unaffected.
Enquiry by email, telephone or fax
If you contact us by email, telephone or fax, your request, including all personal data arising from it (name, enquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We will not pass on this data without your consent.
The processing of this data is based on Article 6 (1)(b) GDPR, if your request relates to the fulfilment of a contract or is necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of your enquiries (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 requests will remain with us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent for its storage, or the purpose for storing the data ceases to apply (e.g. after your enquiry has been fully processed).
