If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Article 6 par. 1(a) of the GDPR or Article 9(1)(a) of the GDPR. 2(a) GDPR, to the extent that the special categories of data are processed pursuant to Article 9(2)(a) GDPR. 1 GDPR.

Note on the transfer of data to third countries that are not secure under data protection legislation and the transfer to US companies that are not certified by the DPF

Among other things, we use tools from companies based in third countries that are not secure under data protection laws and tools from the US whose providers are not certified under the EU-US Data Protection Framework (DPF). If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these countries and processed there. We would like to point out that in third countries that are not secure under data protection legislation, a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU cannot be ensured.

We would like to point out that the US, as a safe third country, generally has a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU. Therefore, the transfer of data to the US is allowed if the recipient is certified under the “EU-US Data Protection Framework” (DPF) or has appropriate additional safeguards. Information on transfers to third countries, including data recipients, can be found in this privacy policy.

Recipients of personal data

As part of our business activities, we cooperate with various external organisations. In some cases, it is also necessary to transfer personal data to these external organisations. We only transfer personal data to external bodies if this is necessary for the performance of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. transfer of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the transfer in accordance with Article 6(6)(a) of the GDPR, if we have a legitimate interest in the transfer, or if we have a legitimate interest in the transfer in accordance with Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. 1(f) GDPR or if another legal basis allows the transfer of data. When we use processors, we only transmit our customers’ personal data on the basis of a valid contract for order processing. In the case 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 may at any time withdraw any consent you have already given. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out up to the revocation is not affected by the revocation.

Right to object to data collection in specific cases and to direct advertising (Article 21 GDPR)

IF THE PROCESSING OF DATA UNDER ARTICLE 1 OF THE CONSTITUTION. 6 ABS. 1 LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA AT ANY TIME ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH THE PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR RELEVANT PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR THE PROCESSING SERVES TO ESTABLISH, EXERCISE OR DEFEND LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 21(1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA ARE PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSES OF THAT MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT RELATES TO THAT DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NOT BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 21(2) OF THE GDPR).

In case 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 place of the alleged breach. The right to lodge a complaint shall be without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.

Right to data portability

You have the right to receive the data we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in performance of a contract to provide it to you or to third parties in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done if technically feasible.

Update, correction and deletion

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to be informed free of charge about your stored personal data, their origin and recipient and the purpose of data processing and, if necessary, the right to rectification or erasure of such data. You can contact us at any time regarding this and other questions on the subject of personal data.

Right to restrict 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 question the accuracy of your personal data we have stored, we generally need time to check it. During the review, you have the right to request that we restrict the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
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 the restriction of processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Article 21 par. 1 GDPR, there must be a balance between your interests and ours. Since 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, such data – except for storage – may 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 important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

We will retain the data you provide in the contact form until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent to its retention or the purpose of its retention ceases to apply (e.g. after your request has been fulfilled).
