General information about the legal bases of data processing on this website

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data based on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR if special categories of data according to Art. 9(1) GDPR are processed. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also based on Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR.

The relevant legal bases for each specific case are provided in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.

Recipients of personal data

In the course of our business activities, we collaborate with various external entities. In some cases, this involves the transfer of personal data to these external entities. We only disclose personal data to external entities if it is necessary for contract fulfillment, if we are legally obligated to do so (e.g. sharing data with tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR in the disclosure, or if another legal basis permits data sharing. When using processors, we only share personal data of our customers based on a valid contract for data processing. In the case of joint processing, a contract for joint processing is concluded.

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke consent you have already given at any time. The legality of data processing prior to revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to object to data collection in specific cases and against direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

If data processing is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. You can find the respective legal basis on which processing is based in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your relevant personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that outweigh your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 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 your personal data for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with 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 competent 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, place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability.

You have the right to receive the data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, either to yourself 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 technically feasible.

Information, rectification, and erasure.

You have the right, in accordance with applicable legal provisions, to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, and, if necessary, the right to rectification or erasure of this data. For this purpose and for any 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. For this purpose, you can contact us at any time. The right to restriction of processing applies 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 period of verification, you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data has been or is being carried out unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you need them for the exercise, defense, or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
If you have lodged an objection according to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, except for storage, these data may only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of significant public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent for the storage of cookies and similar tracking technologies has been obtained, the processing is based exclusively on this consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and § 25(1) of the TTDSG); the consent can be revoked at any time.

You can configure your browser to notify you about the placement of cookies and allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, accept cookies for specific cases, or exclude them completely, as well as activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
