Privacy Information pursuant to Art. 13 GDPR

General Information on Data Processing

Legal Basis for the Processing of Personal Data

In accordance with Art. 13 GDPR, we inform you of the legal bases for our data processing activities. Unless the legal basis is specifically stated in this Privacy Notice, the following applies:
The legal basis for obtaining consent is Art. 6(1)(a) in conjunction with Art. 7 GDPR. The legal basis for processing for the performance of our services, for carrying out contractual measures, and for responding to inquiries is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. The legal basis for processing for compliance with our legal obligations is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. If the processing of your data is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, and your interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms do not override those interests, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing. In the event that vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6(1)(d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

Data Deletion and Storage Duration

We comply with the principles of data minimization pursuant to Art. 5(1)(c) GDPR and storage limitation pursuant to Art. 5(1)(e) GDPR. We store your personal data only for as long as is necessary to achieve the purposes stated here or for as long as retention periods prescribed by law require. Once the respective purpose no longer applies or such retention periods have expired, the relevant data will be deleted as quickly as possible.

External Links

This website may contain links to third-party websites or to other websites under our responsibility. If you follow a link to any website outside our responsibility, please note that these websites have their own privacy information. We assume no responsibility or liability for these third-party websites and their privacy notices. Therefore, please check before using such websites whether you agree with their privacy policies.

External links can be identified either by the fact that they are visually distinguished from the rest of the text, for example by color or underlining. Your cursor will indicate external links when you move it over such a link. Your personal data will only be transferred to the destination of the link once you click on an external link. In particular, the operator of the other website may receive your IP address, the time at which you clicked the link, the page on which you clicked the link, and other information that can be found in the privacy notices of the respective provider.

Please also note that some links may lead to data being transferred outside the European Economic Area. As a result, foreign authorities may gain access to your data. You may not have any legal remedies against such access. If you do not want your personal data to be transferred to the link destination or to be exposed to access by foreign authorities, please do not click on any links.

Rights of the Data Subject

As a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR, you have the right to assert various rights. The rights of data subjects arising from the GDPR include the right of access (Article 15), the right to rectification (Article 16), the right to erasure (Article 17), the right to restriction of processing (Article 18), the right to object (Article 21), the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, and the right to data portability (Article 20).

Right to Withdraw Consent:

Certain data processing operations may only take place with your explicit consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out until the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

Right to Object:

If processing is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you, as the data subject, have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data on grounds relating to your particular situation. This right also applies to profiling based on these provisions within the meaning of Art. 4 No. 4 GDPR. Unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, we will stop processing your data after your objection.

If personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you also have the right to object at any time. The same applies to profiling insofar as it is related to direct marketing. In this case as well, we will no longer process personal data once you object.

Right to Lodge a Complaint with a Supervisory Authority:

If you believe that the processing of your personal data violates the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, your place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement, without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.

Right to Data Portability:

If your data is processed automatically on the basis of consent or in fulfillment of a contract, you have the right to receive that data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. You also have the right to request the transfer and provision of the data to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible.

Right of Access, Rectification, and Erasure:

You have the right to obtain information about your processed personal data with regard to the purpose of the data processing, the categories of data, the recipients, and the duration of storage. If you have any questions on this topic or on other topics relating to personal data, you may of course contact us using the contact details provided in the legal notice.

Right to Restriction of Processing:

You may request the restriction of the processing of your personal data at any time. To do so, one of the following conditions must be met:

You contest the accuracy of the personal data. For the duration of the verification of the accuracy of the data, you have the right to request restriction of processing.
If the processing is unlawful, you may request restriction of the use of the data instead of erasure.
If we no longer need your personal data for the purposes of processing, but you require the data for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, you may request restriction of processing instead of erasure.
If you have objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of your interests and ours will be carried out. Until it is determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of processing.

Where processing has been restricted, such personal data may, apart from storage, 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 Union or of a Member State.

Provision of the Website (Web Hosting Provider)

When you access our website, we automatically collect and store information in so-called server log files. This information is automatically transmitted by your browser to our server or to the server of our hosting provider.

This includes:

  • IP address of the website visitor’s device
  • Device used
  • Hostname of the accessing computer
  • Visitor’s operating system
  • Browser type and browser version
  • Name of the retrieved file
  • Time of the server request
  • Amount of data
  • Information on whether the retrieval of the data was successful

This data is not merged with other data sources.

Instead of operating this website on our own server, we may also have it operated on the server of an external service provider (hosting company), which we have referred to above in this case. The personal data collected by this website is then stored on the servers of the hosting company. In addition to the data listed above, the web host may also store contact inquiries, contact details, names, website access data, metadata and communication data, contract data, and other data generated via a website on our behalf.

The legal basis for processing this data is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of this website. If the website is accessed for the purpose of entering into contract negotiations with us or concluding a contract, the additional legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. If we have commissioned a hosting company, a data processing agreement has been concluded with this service provider.

Use of Local Storage Items, Session Storage Items, and Cookies

Our website uses local storage items, session storage items, and/or cookies. Local storage is a mechanism that enables data to be stored within the browser on your device. This data usually includes user preferences, such as the “day mode” or “night mode” of a website, and remains stored until you manually delete it. Session storage is very similar to local storage, except that the storage duration lasts only for the current session, i.e. until the current tab is closed. After that, the session storage items are deleted from your device. Cookies are pieces of information that a web server (server that provides web content) stores on your device in order to identify that device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) and deleted after your visit to a website ends, or they are stored permanently (persistent cookies) on your device until you delete them yourself or your web browser automatically deletes them.

These objects may also be stored on your device by third-party companies when you visit our site (third-party requests). This enables us as the operator and you as the visitor of this website to make use of certain services provided by third parties that are installed on this website. Examples include the processing of payment services or the display of videos.

These mechanisms have a wide range of applications. They can improve the functionality of a website, control shopping cart functions, increase the security and convenience of website use, and perform analyses regarding visitor flows and behavior. Depending on the individual functions, they are to be classified under data protection law. If they are necessary for the operation of the website and intended to provide certain functions (shopping cart function) or serve to optimize the website (e.g. cookies to measure visitor behavior), they are used on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. As website operators, we have a legitimate interest in storing local storage items, session storage items, and cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of our services. In all other cases, the storage of local storage items, session storage items, and cookies takes place only on the basis of your explicit consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).

Insofar as local storage items, session storage, or cookies are used by third-party companies or for analysis purposes, we will inform you separately within the framework of this Privacy Notice. Your required consent will be requested and may be withdrawn at any time.

Use of External Services

External services are used on our website. External services are services provided by third parties that are used on our website. This may occur for various reasons, for example for embedding videos or for website security. When using these services, personal data is also passed on to the respective providers of these external services. If we do not have a legitimate interest in using these services, we obtain your revocable consent as a visitor to our website before using them (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).

Analytics

For the purpose of analyzing user behavior, we process personal data of website visitors. By evaluating the data obtained, we are able to compile information about the use of the individual components of our website. This enables us to improve the user-friendliness of our website. By means of the analytics tools used, it may be possible, for example, to create user profiles for the display of targeted or interest-based advertising messages, to recognize our website visitors on their next visit to our website, to measure their click and scroll behavior and downloads, to create heat maps, to record page views, to measure visit duration or bounce rates, and to trace the origin of website visitors (city, country, from which site the visitor came). Analytics tools help us improve our market research and marketing activities.

Processing only takes place if you consent to this data processing (via our consent banner on the website). The legal basis for this processing is consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). Without your consent, the data processing described above will not take place. If you withdraw your consent (e.g. via the consent banner or other options provided on this website), we will stop this data processing. The lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal remains unaffected.

Use of Google Remarketing

In addition to Ads Tracking, we also use Google Remarketing, provided by Google Ireland Limited. This is a retargeting service designed to deliver interest-based advertising on other advertising spaces outside of our website. Through this service, after you visit our website, you may see ads for the services or products you previously viewed on our website when you visit other websites. The cookie stored in your browser is used for recognition purposes. This allows Google to identify your interest in certain products based on your previous visit to our website and use this information to display targeted advertisements on other websites. According to Google’s own statements, the data collected as part of remarketing is not combined with your personal data, which may be stored by Google. In particular, Google states that pseudonymization is used in remarketing. Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to Google’s server. Please note that data processing by Google may take place outside the European Union. Personal data will only be transferred to Google—and thus to the United States—with your prior express consent. This information is used to display ads tailored to your interests and to promote our products in a targeted manner. The legal basis for storing the cookie and processing the data is the consent you have provided (Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR). You can revoke your consent at any time via the cookie settings.
