Retention Period
Unless a more specific retention period is stated within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you submit a valid request for deletion or withdraw your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted, unless we have other legally permissible grounds for retaining your personal data (e.g., statutory retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the data will be deleted once these grounds no longer apply.
Withdrawal of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may withdraw consent that you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of any data processing that took place prior to your withdrawal remains unaffected.
Right to object to data collection in specific cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6 PARA. 1 LIT. E OR F OF THE GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. PLEASE REFER TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY TO IDENTIFY THE LEGAL BASIS UPON WHICH ANY SPECIFIC PROCESSING IS BASED. IF YOU LODGE AN OBJECTION, 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 IF THE PROCESSING IS FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT 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 such marketing; this also applies to profiling, insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for the purpose of direct marketing (objection pursuant to Article 21(2) of the GDPR).
Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority
In the event of infringements 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. This right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to data portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically – based on your consent or in the performance of a contract – provided to you or to a third party in a commonly used, 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.
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 website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser’s address bar changes from „http://“ to „https://“ and by the padlock icon in your browser’s address bar.
When SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Information, Deletion, and Rectification
In accordance with applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain – free of charge – information regarding your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing. You may also have the right to have this data rectified or deleted. Please feel free to contact us at any time regarding this or any other questions you may have concerning personal data.
Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:
If you contest the accuracy of the personal data we hold about you, we generally require time to verify this. During the period of such verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data is or was unlawful, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
If we no longer require your personal data, but you need it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of its erasure.
If you have filed an objection pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR, a balancing of your interests against ours must be carried out. Until it is determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data has been restricted, such data – with the exception of storage – may only be processed with your consent, for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.
Objection to Promotional Emails
The use of contact details – published in compliance with legal notice requirements – for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising or informational material is hereby objected to. The operators of this website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event that unsolicited promotional information, such as spam emails, is received.

Cookies
Our websites use what are known as „cookies.“ Cookies are small text files that do not cause any damage to your device. They are stored on your device either temporarily for the duration of a session („session cookies“) or on a more permanent basis („persistent cookies“). Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Persistent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or until they are automatically deleted by your web browser.
In some cases, cookies from third-party companies may also be stored on your device when you access our site („third-party cookies“). These enable us – or you – to use certain services provided by these third-party companies (for example, cookies used to process payment services).
Cookies serve various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website features would not function without them (such as the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies are used to analyze user behavior or to display advertisements.
Cookies that are necessary for carrying out the electronic communication process, for providing specific functions you have requested (functional cookies, e.g., for the shopping cart feature), or for optimizing the website (e.g., cookies for measuring web audience) are stored on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of their services. If consent for the storage of cookies has been requested, the storage of the relevant cookies is based exclusively on this consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR); such consent may be revoked at any time.
You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are being set, to allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, to reject cookies in specific instances or entirely, and to enable the automatic deletion of cookies when closing your browser. Please note that disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
In cases where cookies are used by third-party companies or for analytical purposes, we will provide you with separate information regarding this within the scope of this privacy policy and, where necessary, seek your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR if your inquiry relates to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively handling the inquiries directed to us (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR) or on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR), provided that such consent has been requested.
The data you enter into the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent for its storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., once your inquiry has been fully processed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular, statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

Newsletter Data
If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on this website, we require your email address, as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the provided email address and that you consent to receiving the newsletter.
