2. General information and mandatory information
Data protection
The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.
Please note that data transmitted via the internet (e.g. via e-mail communication) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of your data from third-party access is not possible.

The responsible party is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (names, email addresses, etc.).
Revocation of your consent to the processing of your data
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may revoke your already given consent at any time. An informal email making this request is sufficient. The data processed before we receive your request may still be legally processed.
Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 of the GDPR)
Where data is processed based on point (e) or (f) of Art. 6(1) of the GDPR, you have the right to object, on grounds relating to your personal situation, at any time to the processing of your personal data, including profiling based on these provisions. Please refer to this Privacy Policy for the respective legal basis for data processing. If you object we will cease to process your affected personal data, unless we can provide compelling legal grounds worth protecting that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or if your personal data is processed for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims (objection according to Art. 21(1) of the 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, which includes profiling to the extent that it is connected to direct marketing. Where you object, your personal data shall no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection according to Art. 21(2) of the GDPR).
Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority
In the event of infringements of the GDPR, the parties concerned have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to other administrative or legal remedies.
Right to data portability
You have the right to have data, which we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, delivered to yourself or to a third party in a standard, machine-readable format. In case you require the direct transfer of data to another responsible party, this will only be done to an extent as far as technically feasible.
SSL or TLS encryption
This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and for the protection of the transmission of confidential content, such as the inquiries you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection in your browser’s address line when it changes from “http://” to “https://” and the lock icon is displayed in your browser’s address bar.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transfer to us cannot be read by third parties.
Information, blocking, deletion
As permitted by law, you have the right to be provided at any time with information free of charge about any of your personal data that is stored as well as its origin, the recipient and the purpose for which it has been processed. You also have the right to have this data corrected, blocked or deleted. You can contact us at any time using the address given in our legal notice if you have further questions on the topic of personal data.
Right to Restriction of Processing
You also have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time at the address listed in the imprint. The Right to Restriction of Processing applies in the following cases:
If you contest the accuracy of the personal data stored by us we generally need some time to verify the accuracy. For the duration of the verification you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data. If your personal data was / is being processed unlawfully, you have the right to request restriction of data processing instead of erasure of the data. If we no longer need your personal data, but they are required by you for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of data processing instead of erasure of your personal data. If you have entered an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) of the GDPR your interests must be weighed against our own interests. As long as it is not clear whose interests will prevail you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, those data, with the exception of storing them, may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.
Opposition to promotional emails
We hereby expressly prohibit the use of contact data published in the context of website legal notice requirements with regard to sending promotional and informational materials not expressly requested. The website operator reserves the right to take specific legal action if unsolicited advertising material, such as email spam, is received.
3. Data collection on our website
Cookies
Some of our web pages use cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain any viruses. Cookies help make our website more user-friendly, efficient, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.
Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies.” They are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain in your device’s memory until you delete them. These cookies make it possible to recognize your browser when you next visit the site.
You can configure your browser to inform you about the use of cookies so that you can decide on a case-by-case basis whether to accept or reject a cookie. Alternatively, your browser can be configured to automatically accept cookies under certain conditions or to always reject them, or to automatically delete cookies when closing your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
Cookies which are necessary to allow electronic communications or to provide certain functions you wish to use (such as the shopping cart) are stored pursuant to Art. 6 paragraph 1, letter f of DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies to ensure an optimized service provided free of technical errors. If other cookies (such as those used to analyze your surfing behaviour) are also stored, they will be treated separately in this privacy policy.
Server log files
The website provider automatically collects and stores information that your browser automatically transmits to us in “server log files”. These are:
- Browser type and browser version
- Operating system used
- Referrer
- URL
- Host name of the accessing computer
- Time of the server request
- IP address
These data will not be combined with data from other sources.
The basis for data processing is Art. 6 paragraph 1, letter f of DSGVO. The operator of the website has a legitimate interest in the technologically flawless presentation and optimization of the website – to ensure this, Server-Log-Files have to be collected.
Inquiry By E-Mail, Telephone or Fax
If you contact us by e-mail, phone or fax your request, including all resulting personal data (name, request) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We will not share these data without your consent.
These data shall be processed based on point (b) of Art. 6(1) of the GDPR, provided that your request is related to the performance of a contract or required for the execution of precontractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on your consent (point (a) of Art. 6(1) of the GDPR) and/or on our legitimate interest (point (f) of Art. 6(1) of the GDPR), since we have a legitimate interest in the effective processing of requests addressed to us.
The data you transmit to us when you submit a contact request will remain with us until you request their deletion, revoke your consent to storing them, or the reason for storing the data ceases to exist (for instance, after completion of your request). Mandatory legal provisions, in particular, legal storage periods, remain unaffected.
