Recipients of personal data

As part of our business activities, we work with various external parties. In some cases, this requires personal data to be transferred to these parties.

We disclose personal data to external parties only where this is necessary for the performance of a contract, where we are legally obliged to do so, for example by disclosing data to tax authorities, where we have a legitimate interest in the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or where another legal basis permits the disclosure.

Where we use processors, we disclose our customers’ personal data only on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

Many data processing activities are only possible with your express consent. You may withdraw any consent you have previously given at any time. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal.

Right to object to processing in certain cases and to direkt marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF DATA IS PROCESSED ON THE BASIS OF 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. THE RELEVANT LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY.

IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS THE PERSONAL DATA CONCERNED UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR UNLESS THE PROCESSING IS NECESSARY FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENCE 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 THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA 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 NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of an infringement of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, their place of work or the place of the alleged infringement. This right is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract in a commonly used, machine-readable format, or to have this data transmitted to a third party. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will be carried out only where technically feasible.

Access, rectification and deletion

Within the scope of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain information about your personal data stored by us, including its origin and recipients and the purpose for which it is processed. You may also have the right to request the rectification or deletion of this data.

If you have any questions about this or any other matter relating to personal data, please feel free to contact us at any time.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted. You may contact us at any time to exercise this right. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following circumstances:

If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we will generally need time to verify its accuracy. While this verification is being carried out, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.
If your personal data has been processed unlawfully, you may request restriction of processing instead of deletion.
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 instead of deletion.
If you have objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, your interests and ours must be balanced. Until it has been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If the processing of your personal data has been restricted, such data may, apart from storage, be processed only with your consent, for the establishment, exercise or defence 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 an EU Member State.

SSL and/or 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 website operator, this website uses SSL or TLS encryption.

You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address in your browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the padlock symbol in your browser’s address bar.

When SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Unsolicited e-mails

We object to the use of contact details published as part of our legal notice obligations for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and information materials. The website operators expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited promotional communications, such as spam e-mails.

Our website uses cookies. Cookies are small files that are stored on your device and do not cause any damage to it. They may either be stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or remain stored on your device for a longer period (persistent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted when you end your browsing session. Persistent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them or they are automatically deleted by your web browser.

Cookies may be set by us (first-party cookies) or by third-party companies (third-party cookies). Third-party cookies make it possible to integrate certain third-party services into websites, for example payment services.

Cookies perform a variety of functions. Many cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them, for example shopping basket functionality or the display of videos. Other cookies may be used to analyse user behaviour or for advertising purposes.

Cookies that are required for electronic communications, for the provision of certain functions that you wish to use, for example shopping basket functionality, or for the optimisation of the website (necessary cookies), for example cookies that provide measurable information about website traffic, 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 optimised provision of its services.

Where consent to the storage of cookies and similar technologies has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of the consent given (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG). Consent may be withdrawn at any time.

You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set and to allow cookies only in individual cases. You can also prevent cookies from being accepted in certain cases or altogether, or enable the automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser. If cookies are disabled, some features of this website may be restricted.

If other cookies and services are used on this website, further information can be found in this Privacy Policy.

5. Analytics and Advertising

Google Analytics

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Analytics enables the website operator to analyse how visitors use the website.

This data is assigned to the user’s device. It is not assigned to a user ID.

Google Analytics also allows us to record mouse and scrolling movements and clicks, among other things. Google Analytics uses various modelling approaches to supplement the data collected and uses machine-learning technologies to analyse the data.

Google Analytics uses technologies that enable users to be recognised for the purpose of analysing their behaviour, for example cookies or device fingerprinting. Information about the use of this website collected by Google is generally transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there.

The use of this service is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG. You may withdraw your consent at any time.

Data transfers to the United States are based on the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) issued by the European Commission. Further details can be found at:
