When using data processors, we only share personal data of our customers on the basis of a valid Data Processing Agreement. In the case 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 explicit consent. You may revoke consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of data processing carried out prior to the revocation is not affected by the revocation.

WHERE DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THOSE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED 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 FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).
WHERE YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, 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.

The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.
Right to Data Portability
You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, in a commonly used, machine-readable format, handed over to you or to a third party. Where you request the direct transfer of data to another controller, this will only be done where technically feasible.
Access, Rectification and Erasure
Within the framework of applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, and, where applicable, a right to rectification or erasure of this data. You can contact us at any time with regard to this and other questions on the subject of personal data.
Right to Restriction of Processing
You have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing applies 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 restriction of processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data was or is being carried out unlawfully, you may request restriction of processing instead of erasure.
If we no longer need your personal data but you require it for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
If you have lodged an objection pursuant to 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 restriction of processing of your personal data.
Where processing of your personal data has been restricted, such data may, with the exception of storage, 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 a Member State.
SSL / TLS Encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the address bar of your browser changing from "http://" to "https://" and by the padlock symbol in your browser bar.

5. Social Media
Social Media Elements with Shariff
Social media elements are used on this website (e.g. Facebook, X, Instagram, Pinterest, XING, LinkedIn, Tumblr).
These social media elements can usually be identified by their respective social media logos. To ensure data protection on this website, we use these elements only in conjunction with the so-called "Shariff" solution. This application prevents the social media elements integrated on this website from transferring your personal data to the respective provider when you first access the page.
A direct connection to the provider's server is only established when you activate the respective social media element by clicking the associated button (consent). Once you activate the social media element, the respective provider receives the information that you have visited this website with your IP address. If you are simultaneously logged in to your respective social media account (e.g. Facebook), the respective provider can associate the visit to this website with your user account.
Activating the plugin constitutes consent within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG. You may revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future.
The service is used to obtain the legally required consents for the use of certain technologies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.
6. Plugins and Tools
YouTube with Enhanced Privacy Mode
This website embeds videos from the YouTube website. The operator of the website is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
When you visit one of these websites on which YouTube is embedded, a connection to YouTube's servers is established. The YouTube server is informed which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to associate your browsing behavior directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.
We use YouTube in extended privacy mode. According to YouTube, videos played in extended privacy mode are not used to personalize browsing on YouTube. Advertisements displayed in extended privacy mode are also not personalized. No cookies are set in extended privacy mode. Instead, so-called local storage elements are stored in the user's browser, which, similarly to cookies, contain personal data and can be used for recognition. Details on extended privacy mode can be found here: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/171780.
The use of YouTube is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online services. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Where consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent covers the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent may be revoked at any time.
Further information on data protection at YouTube can be found in their privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.
The company holds certification under the "EU-US Data Privacy Framework" (DPF). Further information is available from the provider at: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/participant/5780.
Google Fonts (Local Hosting)
This page uses so-called Google Fonts provided by Google for uniform display of fonts. The Google Fonts are installed locally. No connection to Google's servers takes place.
Further information on Google Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.
Google reCAPTCHA
We use "Google reCAPTCHA" (hereinafter "reCAPTCHA") on this website. The provider is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
reCAPTCHA is used to check whether data entry on this website (e.g. in a contact form) is made by a human or by an automated program. For this purpose, reCAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of the website visitor based on various characteristics. This analysis begins automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the website. For analysis purposes, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g. IP address, time spent by the website visitor on the website, or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google.
reCAPTCHA analyses run entirely in the background. Website visitors are not informed that an analysis is taking place.
Google acts in this context as a pure data processor within the meaning of Art. 28 GDPR and will not use the data collected in this way for its own purposes. The use of the tool is based on a Data Processing Agreement (DPA) with Google.
The storage and analysis of the data is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting their web offerings from abusive automated spying and from spam. Where consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent covers the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent may be revoked at any time.
The company holds certification under the "EU-US Data Privacy Framework" (DPF). Further information is available from the provider at: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/participant/5780.
