Your rights
You have the right to obtain information from the website operator about the personal data concerning you (Art. 15 GDPR) that is processed by us. You also have the right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR), erasure (Art. 17 GDPR) or restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR) and the right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR).
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. In order to safeguard the rights and freedoms as well as the legitimate interests of the data subject, you therefore have at least the right to express your point of view and to challenge the decision.
You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the relevant data protection supervisory authority at any time. For this, please contact the State Data Protection Officer at the address provided below.
Right to object to your consent or to data processing
If you have given your consent to the processing of your data (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 1 lit. a GDPR), you have the right to withdraw this consent at any time.
The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to object to the collection of data in specific cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
If data processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e) or f) GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time due to reasons related to your specific situation. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The relevant legal bases for the processing are outlined in this privacy policy. If you object, we will cease processing the affected personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or if the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR).
If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to such processing, including profiling to the extent that it is related to direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection pursuant to Art. 21 para. 2 GDPR).
For such concerns, please use the company's contact details provided above.
Processing of personal data during your visit to our website
When you use our website for informational purposes only, meaning you do not log in, register, or otherwise provide us with personal information, we do not process any personal data, except for the data transmitted by your browser to our server. In accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, we process the following technically necessary data to display our website to you and to ensure its stability and security:
- IP address
- Date and time of the request
- Time zone difference from Greenwich Mean Time (GMT)
- Content of the request (specific page)
- Access status / HTTP status code
- Amount of data transferred
- Website from which the request originated
- Browser
- Operating system and interface
- Language and version of the browser software.
If you contact us via e-mail or a contact form, your inquiry, along with any personal data provided (such as your name and request), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your inquiry. We will only share this data with third parties without your consent if it is necessary to fulfill your request. The data is processed in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR when your request is related to the fulfillment of a contract or required for pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively managing inquiries (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or your consent, if obtained (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR).
The data you send us through contact inquiries will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent, or the purpose for its storage no longer applies (e.g., after your inquiry has been fully processed). Mandatory legal provisions - especially statutory retention periods - remain unaffected.
Use of cookies
Our website uses “cookies,” which are small text files that store information about your use of the site. Cookies can either be stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently on your device (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted when you end your visit, while permanent cookies remain on your device until you delete them manually or they are automatically removed by your web browser.
Cookies serve various functions. Many are technically necessary, as certain website features would not function without them (e.g., the shopping cart). Other cookies are used to analyze user behavior or display advertising. Cookies required to facilitate the electronic communication process (necessary cookies), to provide specific features you request (functional cookies), or to optimize the website (e.g., audience measurement cookies) are stored based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, unless a different legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized delivery of its services.
In some cases, however, cookies from third-party companies (third-party cookies) may also be stored on your end device or may not be technically necessary. These enable us or you to use certain services of the third-party company (e.g. cookies for processing payment services). The cookies in question are stored exclusively on the basis of consent (Section 25 (1) TDDDG with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR); consent can be revoked at any time
Cookies necessary for the operation of the website are set automatically when the website is accessed.
Other cookies and functionalities of the website operator and third parties that are not necessary for use may only be used with your consent. For this purpose, you will be asked to select permitted cookies and functions when you access the website. This selection is in turn stored in a cookie until you delete this cookie from your end device. This site uses the services of CCM19. Further information on data protection can be found at: https://www.ccm19.de/datenschutzerklaerung.html
External links
For your optimal information, you will find links on our site that refer to third-party sites.
These links will take you to websites that we consider to be helpful.
As a rule, no further personal data is processed by us when you leave our website.
If this is not obviously recognizable, we point out that it is an external link. We have no influence on the content and design of websites of other providers and therefore refer to their data protection declarations. The guarantees of this data protection declaration therefore naturally do not apply to third-party websites.
