Storage Duration

If no more specific storage duration is mentioned in this Privacy Policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you make a legitimate deletion request or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted, provided that we do not have any other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial law retention periods); in the latter case, the data will be deleted after the reason for retention no longer applies.

General Information on the Legal Basis of Data Processing on this Website

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or with Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, if special categories of data are processed under Art. 9(1) GDPR. In case of explicit consent for the transfer of personal data to third countries, data is also processed in accordance with Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), data processing is also carried out in accordance with § 25(1) TDDDG.

If your data is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract or the performance of pre-contractual measures, we process your data in accordance with Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if it is necessary for the fulfillment of a legal obligation in accordance with Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Data processing may also occur based on our legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Further legal grounds applicable to specific cases of data processing are explained in the subsequent sections of this Privacy Policy.

Recipients of Personal Data

As part of our business activities, we collaborate with various external entities. In some cases, it is necessary to transfer personal data to these external parties. We only share personal data with external parties if this 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 in doing so under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or if another legal basis allows the data transfer. In the case of using data processors, we share personal data of our customers only based on a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, an agreement on joint processing is concluded.

Withdrawal of Your Consent for Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can withdraw any previously given consent at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out before the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Specific Cases, as well as Against Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

If data processing is carried out in accordance with 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 related to your particular situation. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions. You can find the specific legal basis for the data processing 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 rights and freedoms or the processing is for the establishment, exercise or defence 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 to the processing of your personal data for such marketing purposes at any time. This also applies to profiling if it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will no longer be processed for direct marketing purposes (objection under Art. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Supervisory Authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects 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 infringement. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive the data we process based on your consent or to fulfill a contract in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transmit this data to another controller, as far as technically feasible.

Access, Correction, and Deletion

You have the right, at any time and free of charge, to obtain information about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients and the purpose of the data processing, and, if applicable, the right to correct or delete this data. For this and any other questions regarding personal data, you can contact us at any time.

Right to Restrict Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. To do so, you can contact us at any time. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need time to verify this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.
If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defence or assertion 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 lodged an objection in accordance with Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not yet been 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, this data - apart from its storage - may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence 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 of a Member State.
