Unless a more specific retention period is stated within this privacy policy, your personal data remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or withdraw consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons to store your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial law retention periods); in the latter case, deletion will occur after those reasons no longer apply.
Legal Bases for Data Processing on This Website
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 (2) lit. a GDPR if special categories of data per 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) lit. a GDPR.

Data processing may also be based on our legitimate interest under Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. The specific legal bases applicable in each case are explained in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.
Recipients of Personal Data
In the course of our business activities, we work with various external entities, which sometimes require personal data to be transferred to them. We only share personal data with external parties when it is necessary for contract fulfillment, when we are legally obligated (e.g., sharing data with tax authorities), when we have a legitimate interest under Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, or when another legal basis permits data sharing. When using processors, we only share personal data based on a valid order processing contract. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.
Withdrawal of Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can withdraw already given consent at any time. The legality of processing carried out before the withdrawal remains unaffected.
Right to Object in Special Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6 (1) LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME, FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED 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 ARE PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU 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, data subjects 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. This complaint right is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.
Right to Data Portability
You have the right to receive data that we process automatically based on your consent or in performance of a contract, in a common, machine-readable format, and to transmit those data to another controller, where technically feasible.
Access, Correction, and Deletion
You have the right at any time, under applicable law, to receive free information about your stored personal data, their origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, and, if applicable, the right to correction or deletion of these data. You can contact us at any time regarding this and any other questions on personal data.
Right to Restrict Processing
You have the right to request restriction of processing your personal data. You can contact us at any time. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
- If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. During the verification period, you have the right to request restriction of processing your personal data.
- If the processing of your personal data is unlawful, you can request restriction instead of deletion.
- If we no longer need your personal data, but you need them to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims, you have the right to request restriction instead of deletion.
- If you have objected under Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balancing of interests must be made. If it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of processing your personal data.
If processing has been restricted, your personal data—apart from storage—may only be processed with your consent, to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims, to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, or for important public interest reasons of the EU or a member state.
SSL/TLS Encryption
This site uses SSL/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. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change in your browser’s address line from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock icon in your browser line.
When SSL/TLS encryption is enabled, data you transfer to us cannot be read by third parties.
