General informations

The fol­lo­wing infor­ma­ti­on pro­vi­des a simp­le over­view of what hap­pens to your per­so­nal data when you visit this web­site. Per­so­nal data is any data that can be used to per­so­nal­ly iden­ti­fy you. For detail­ed infor­ma­ti­on on the sub­ject of data pro­tec­tion, plea­se refer to our pri­va­cy poli­cy lis­ted below.

Data collection on this website

Who is respon­si­ble for data coll­ec­tion on this web­site?

Data pro­ces­sing on this web­site is car­ri­ed out by the web­site ope­ra­tor. You can find their cont­act details in the “Infor­ma­ti­on on the con­trol­ler” sec­tion of this pri­va­cy poli­cy.

How do we coll­ect your data?

One way your data is coll­ec­ted is when you pro­vi­de it to us—for exam­p­le, by ente­ring it into a cont­act form.

Other data is coll­ec­ted automatically—or with your consent—by our IT sys­tems when you visit the web­site. This pri­ma­ri­ly con­sists of tech­ni­cal data (e.g., inter­net brow­ser, ope­ra­ting sys­tem, or the time the page was acces­sed). This data is coll­ec­ted auto­ma­ti­cal­ly as soon as you enter the web­site.

For what pur­po­ses do we use your data?

Some data is coll­ec­ted to ensu­re the web­site func­tions cor­rect­ly. Other data may be used to ana­ly­ze your user beha­vi­or. If con­tracts can be con­cluded or initia­ted via the web­site, the data pro­vi­ded is also pro­ces­sed for con­tract offers, orders, or other ser­vice requests.

What rights do you have regar­ding your data?

You have the right to obtain infor­ma­ti­on about the ori­gin, reci­pi­ents, and pur­po­se of your stored per­so­nal data at any time, free of char­ge. You also have the right to request the cor­rec­tion or dele­ti­on of this data. If you have given your con­sent for data pro­ces­sing, you may revo­ke this con­sent at any time with effect for the future. Fur­ther­mo­re, you have the right to request the rest­ric­tion of the pro­ces­sing of your per­so­nal data under cer­tain cir­cum­s­tances. You also have the right to lodge a com­plaint with the com­pe­tent super­vi­so­ry aut­ho­ri­ty.

You may cont­act us at any time regar­ding this mat­ter or any other ques­ti­ons con­cer­ning data pro­tec­tion.

Analytics and third-party tools

When you visit this web­site, your brow­sing beha­vi­or may be sta­tis­ti­cal­ly ana­ly­zed. This is pri­ma­ri­ly done using ana­ly­tics pro­grams.

You can find detail­ed infor­ma­ti­on about the­se ana­ly­tics pro­grams in the fol­lo­wing pri­va­cy poli­cy.

General information on the legal bases for 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 (whe­re spe­cial cate­go­ries of data pur­su­ant to Art. 9(1) GDPR are pro­ces­sed). In the event of expli­cit con­sent to the trans­fer of per­so­nal data to third count­ries, data pro­ces­sing also takes place based on 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 addi­tio­nal­ly takes place based on Sec­tion 25(1) TDDDG. Con­sent may be revo­ked at any time. If your data is requi­red for the per­for­mance of a con­tract or to take steps pri­or to ente­ring into a con­tract, we pro­cess your data based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Fur­ther­mo­re, we pro­cess your data based on Art. 6(1)© GDPR whe­re this is neces­sa­ry to ful­fill a legal obli­ga­ti­on.

Infor­ma­ti­on regar­ding the spe­ci­fic legal bases appli­ca­ble in each indi­vi­du­al case is pro­vi­ded in the fol­lo­wing sec­tions of this pri­va­cy poli­cy.

Recipients of personal data

We work with various exter­nal enti­ties as part of our busi­ness ope­ra­ti­ons. In some cases, this requi­res the trans­fer of per­so­nal data to the­se exter­nal enti­ties. We only dis­c­lo­se per­so­nal data to exter­nal enti­ties if this is neces­sa­ry for the per­for­mance of a con­tract, if we are legal­ly obli­ged to do so (e.g., trans­fer­ring data to tax aut­ho­ri­ties), if we have a legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest in the dis­clo­sure pur­su­ant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or if ano­ther legal basis per­mits the data trans­fer. When enga­ging data pro­ces­sors, we only dis­c­lo­se our cus­to­mers’ per­so­nal data on the basis of a valid data pro­ces­sing agree­ment. In the event of joint pro­ces­sing, a joint pro­ces­sing agree­ment is con­cluded.

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data pro­ces­sing ope­ra­ti­ons are only pos­si­ble with your express con­sent. You may revo­ke con­sent you have alre­a­dy given at any time. The lawful­ness of data pro­ces­sing car­ri­ed out pri­or to the revo­ca­ti­on remains unaf­fec­ted by the revo­ca­ti­on.

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

WHERE DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME—ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION—TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. PLEASE REFER TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY FOR THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED. IF YOU LODGE AN OBJECTION, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH 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 the pur­po­se of direct mar­ke­ting, you have the right to object at any time to the pro­ces­sing of per­so­nal data con­cer­ning you for such mar­ke­ting; this also appli­es to pro­fil­ing to the ext­ent that it is rela­ted to such direct mar­ke­ting. If you object, your per­so­nal data will sub­se­quent­ly no lon­ger be used for the pur­po­se of direct mar­ke­ting (objec­tion pur­su­ant to Art. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of inf­rin­ge­ments 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, their place of work, or the place of the alle­ged inf­rin­ge­ment. This right to lodge a com­plaint 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 the per­for­mance of a con­tract han­ded over to you or to a third par­ty in a com­mon, machi­ne-rea­da­ble for­mat. If you request the direct trans­fer of the data to ano­ther con­trol­ler, this will only be done to the ext­ent that it is tech­ni­cal­ly fea­si­ble.

Information, Correction, and Deletion

Sub­ject to appli­ca­ble legal pro­vi­si­ons, you have the right at any time to obtain infor­ma­ti­on free of char­ge regar­ding your stored per­so­nal data, its ori­gin and reci­pi­ents, and the pur­po­se of the data pro­ces­sing, as well as—where applicable—the right to have this data cor­rec­ted or dele­ted. You may cont­act us at any time regar­ding this mat­ter or for fur­ther ques­ti­ons con­cer­ning per­so­nal data.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request the rest­ric­tion of the pro­ces­sing of your per­so­nal data. You may cont­act us at any time to do so. The right to rest­ric­tion of pro­ces­sing appli­es in the fol­lo­wing cases:

  • If you con­test the accu­ra­cy of the per­so­nal data we hold about you, we gene­ral­ly requi­re time to veri­fy this. For the dura­ti­on of this veri­fi­ca­ti­on, you have the right to request the rest­ric­tion of the pro­ces­sing of your per­so­nal data.
  • If the pro­ces­sing of your per­so­nal data was or is unlawful, you may request the rest­ric­tion of data pro­ces­sing ins­tead of era­su­re.
  • If we no lon­ger need your per­so­nal data, but you requi­re it for the estab­lish­ment, exer­cise, or defen­se of legal claims, you have the right to request the rest­ric­tion of the pro­ces­sing of your per­so­nal data ins­tead of era­su­re.
  • If you have lodged an objec­tion pur­su­ant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balan­cing of your inte­rests against ours must be car­ri­ed out. Until it is deter­mi­ned who­se inte­rests pre­vail, you have the right to request the rest­ric­tion of the pro­ces­sing of your per­so­nal data.

If the pro­ces­sing of your per­so­nal data has been rest­ric­ted, such data may—with the excep­ti­on of storage—only be pro­ces­sed with your con­sent, for the estab­lish­ment, exer­cise, or defen­se of legal claims, 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.

4. Data collection on this website

Cookies

Our web­sites use so-cal­led “coo­kies.” Coo­kies are small data packets that do not harm your device. They are stored on your device eit­her tem­po­r­a­ri­ly for the dura­ti­on of a ses­si­on (ses­si­on coo­kies) or per­ma­nent­ly (per­ma­nent coo­kies). Ses­si­on coo­kies are auto­ma­ti­cal­ly dele­ted after your visit ends. Per­ma­nent coo­kies remain stored on your device until you dele­te them yours­elf or until your web brow­ser auto­ma­ti­cal­ly dele­tes them.

Coo­kies may ori­gi­na­te from us (first-par­ty coo­kies) or from third-par­ty com­pa­nies (so-cal­led third-par­ty coo­kies). Third-par­ty coo­kies enable the inte­gra­ti­on of spe­ci­fic ser­vices pro­vi­ded by third-par­ty com­pa­nies into web­sites (e.g., coo­kies for pro­ces­sing pay­ment ser­vices).

Coo­kies ser­ve various func­tions. Many coo­kies are tech­ni­cal­ly neces­sa­ry becau­se cer­tain web­site func­tions would not work wit­hout them (e.g., the shop­ping cart func­tion or video play­back). Other coo­kies may be used to ana­ly­ze user beha­vi­or or for adver­ti­sing pur­po­ses.

Coo­kies that are requi­red to car­ry out the elec­tro­nic com­mu­ni­ca­ti­on pro­cess, to pro­vi­de spe­ci­fic func­tions you have reques­ted (e.g., the shop­ping cart func­tion), or to opti­mi­ze the web­site (e.g., coo­kies for mea­su­ring web audience)—referred to as “neces­sa­ry cookies”—are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless ano­ther legal basis is spe­ci­fied. The web­site ope­ra­tor has a legi­ti­ma­te inte­rest in sto­ring neces­sa­ry coo­kies to ensu­re the tech­ni­cal­ly error-free and opti­mi­zed pro­vi­si­on of their ser­vices. If con­sent for the sto­rage of coo­kies and com­pa­ra­ble reco­gni­ti­on tech­no­lo­gies has been reques­ted, pro­ces­sing is based exclu­si­ve­ly on that con­sent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Sec­tion 25(1) TDDDG); this con­sent may be revo­ked at any time. You can con­fi­gu­re your brow­ser to noti­fy you when coo­kies are set and to allow coo­kies only on a case-by-case basis, to exclude the accep­tance of coo­kies in spe­ci­fic ins­tances or gene­ral­ly, and to acti­va­te the auto­ma­tic dele­ti­on of coo­kies when clo­sing the brow­ser. Dis­ab­ling coo­kies may limit the func­tion­a­li­ty of this web­site.

Details regar­ding any addi­tio­nal coo­kies and ser­vices used on this web­site can be found in this pri­va­cy poli­cy.

Inquiries via email, telephone, or fax

If you cont­act us via email, tele­pho­ne, or fax, your inquiry—including any per­so­nal data ari­sing from it (such as your name and the details of the inquiry)—will be stored and pro­ces­sed by us for the pur­po­se of hand­ling your request. We do not share this data wit­hout your con­sent.
