2. General Notes and Mandatory Information
Data Protection
The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We handle your personal data confidentially and in accordance with legal data protection regulations and this privacy policy. When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is information that can identify you personally. This privacy policy explains which data we collect and for what purposes. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens. Please note that data transmission over the internet (e.g., via email communication) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data from access by third parties is not possible.
Revocation of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke consent already given at any time. A simple email is sufficient. The legality of data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected.
Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
If data processing is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right at any time to object to the processing of your personal data for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The legal basis for processing can be found 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 establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection under Art. 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 your personal data for such advertising; this also applies to profiling related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection under Art. 21(2) GDPR).
Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority
In the event of violations of the GDPR, affected persons have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the member state of their habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged violation. This right exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to data portability
You have the right to receive data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request direct transfer to another controller, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible.
SSL or TLS Encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content (e.g., orders or inquiries you send to us), this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the browser address changing from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in the browser line. When SSL or TLS encryption is active, data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Information, Blocking, Deletion, and Correction
You have the right at any time, under applicable laws, to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients, and purpose, and, if necessary, the right to correction, blocking, or deletion of this data. For this and other questions regarding personal data, you can contact us at any time at the address provided in the imprint.
Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time at the address provided in the imprint. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
- If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we generally need time to verify this. During the verification, you have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data.
- If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may request restriction instead of deletion.
- If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for asserting, exercising, or defending legal claims, you have the right to request restriction instead of deletion.
- If you have lodged an objection under Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of interests between yours and ours must be conducted. Until it is determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data may only be processed – except for storage – with your consent or for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims, to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, or for important public interest reasons of the European Union or a member state.
3. Data Collection on Our Website
Server Log Files
The provider of the site 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 server request
– IP address
These data are not merged with other data sources. The collection of these data is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free display and optimization of the website – for this purpose, server log files must be collected.
Contact by Email, Phone, or Fax
If you contact us via email, phone, or fax, your request, including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry), is stored and processed for the purpose of handling your request. We do not share this data without your consent. Processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or necessary for pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) and/or our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR), as we have a legitimate interest in effective handling of inquiries addressed to us. Data you send to us via contact requests will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke consent, or the purpose of storage no longer applies (e.g., after processing your request). Mandatory legal provisions – particularly statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.
