3. General Information and Mandatory Information Data Protection
The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.
When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data with which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.
We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps. A complete protection of the data against access by third parties is not possible.

Storage duration
Unless a more specific storage period has been mentioned in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you make a legitimate request for deletion 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 take place after these reasons no longer apply.

Note on data transfer to the USA and other third countries
We use tools from companies based in the USA or other data protectionally unsafe third countries. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these third countries. We would like to point out that no level of data protection comparable to that of the EU can be guaranteed in these countries. For example, US companies are required to disclose personal data to security authorities without the possibility of legal recourse for you as the data subject. It cannot be excluded that US authorities (e.g. intelligence agencies) may process, analyze and store your data on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no control over these processing activities.
4. Revocation of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke a previously given consent at any time. The lawfulness of data processing carried out before the revocation is not affected by the revocation.
Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR) IF THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS BASED ON ART. 6 PAR. 1 LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, INCLUDING PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS DATA PROTECTION DECLARATION. 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 PURPOSE OF ASSERTING, EXERCISING OR DEFENDING LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION ACCORDING TO ART. 21 PARA. 1 GDPR).
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 THE PURPOSES OF SUCH MARKETING, INCLUDING PROFILING, TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION ACCORDING TO ART. 21 PARA. 2 GDPR).
Right to lodge a complaint with a 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 the place of the alleged infringement. This 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, which we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, handed over to you or to 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 if it is technically feasible.
Information, deletion, and rectification
You have the right, within the framework of applicable legal provisions, to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of data processing, as well as a right to rectification or erasure of this data. For this purpose, as well as for further questions regarding personal data, you can contact us at any time.
Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time to exercise this right. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:
- If you contest the accuracy of your personal data that we have stored, we usually need time to verify this. During the verification period, you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data.
- If the processing of your personal data was/were unlawful, you can request the restriction of processing instead of erasure.
- If we no longer need your personal data, but you require them for the exercise, defense, or establishment of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
- If you have objected to the processing of your personal data pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR, a balancing of interests must be carried out between your interests and ours. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests outweigh the other, you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data.
- If you have requested the restriction of processing of your personal data, these data - except for 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 a Member State.
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, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. 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.

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 at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or automatic deletion by your web browser occurs.
Cookies can come from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services from third-party companies within websites (e.g. cookies for payment processing services).
Cookies have various functions. Numerous cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies can be used for the evaluation of user behavior or for advertising purposes.
Cookies that are necessary for the electronic communication process, the provision of certain functions requested by you (e.g. for the shopping cart function) or for the optimization of the website (e.g. cookies for measuring web traffic) (necessary cookies) are stored based on Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, unless another legal basis is indicated. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services.

You can set your browser to notify you when cookies are set and only allow cookies in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be limited.
