The responsible party is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke your consent at any time with future effect. An informal email making this request is sufficient. The legality of the data processing carried out before 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) of the GDPR, you have the right at any time to object to the processing of your personal data for reasons arising from your particular situation, including profiling based on these provisions. The respective 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 that outweigh your interests, rights, and freedoms or the processing is for 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 for such marketing, including 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 a Supervisory Authority
In the event of violations of the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the EU member state of your habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. This right 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 fulfillment of a contract delivered to you or a third party in a standard, 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.

Access, Blocking, Deletion, and Correction
You have the right, within the framework of applicable legal provisions, to free information about your stored personal data, its origin, recipient, and the purpose of data processing and, if necessary, a right to correction, blocking, or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time at the address provided in the legal notice for this and other questions on the subject of personal data.

Right to Restriction of Processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time at the address provided in the legal notice. The right to restriction applies in the following cases:

• If you contest 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 the restriction of the 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 need it to exercise, defend, or establish legal claims, you may request the restriction instead of deletion.

• If you have filed an objection under Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your and our interests. Until it is 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 – apart from being stored – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense 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.

Cookies
Our websites use so-called cookies. Cookies do not harm your device and do not contain viruses. They serve to make our offer more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device and saved by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies,” which are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser the next time you visit.

You can configure your browser to inform you about cookie settings, allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and enable automatic deletion of cookies when the browser is closed. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Cookies necessary for electronic communication or for providing certain functions you request (e.g., shopping cart) are stored based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to provide its services technically correctly and optimized. Other cookies (e.g., for analyzing your browsing behavior) are addressed separately in this privacy policy.

Server Log Files
The provider of these pages automatically collects and stores information in server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. This includes:

• Browser type and version

• Operating system used

• Referrer URL

• Hostname of the accessing computer

• Time of the server request

• IP address

This data is not combined with other data sources.
The basis for data processing is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free display and optimization of its website – for this, server log files must be collected.

Contact via Email, Phone, or Fax
If you contact us via email, phone, or fax, your inquiry, including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry), will be stored and processed by us to handle your request. We do not share this data without your consent.

This data is processed based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your request is related to the performance of a contract or necessary for pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) and/or our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR), since we have a legitimate interest in effectively processing the inquiries addressed to us.

The data you send to us via contact inquiries remains with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after processing your request). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular, legal retention periods – remain unaffected.
