If you have expressly consented to personal data being transferred to third countries, processing is also based on Article 49(1)(a) GDPR.

    Recipients of Personal Data

    As part of our business activities, we work with various external parties. In some cases, it is also necessary to transfer personal data to these external parties. We disclose personal data to external parties only where this is necessary to perform a contract, where we are legally required to do so, for example by disclosing data to tax authorities, where we have a legitimate interest in disclosure under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, or where another legal basis permits disclosure. When using 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 operations are possible only with your express consent. You may withdraw consent that you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of data processing carried out before withdrawal remains unaffected.

    Right to Object to Data Collection in Specific Cases and to Direct Marketing (Article 21 GDPR)

    IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ARTICLE 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE APPLICABLE 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 PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR PROCESSING SERVES TO ESTABLISH, EXERCISE, OR DEFEND LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ARTICLE 21(1) GDPR).

    IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT 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 THEN NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION UNDER ARTICLE 21(2) GDPR).

    Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

    In the event of a GDPR violation, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the member state of their habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged violation. 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 performance of a contract, or to have it transmitted to a third party, in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request direct transmission of the data to another controller, this will be done only where technically feasible.

    Access, Rectification, and Erasure

    Within the framework of applicable law, you have the right at any time to obtain information, free of charge, about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, and, where applicable, the right to have this data rectified or erased. You can contact us at any time regarding this or any other questions about personal data.

    Right to Restriction of Processing

    You have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted. You can 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 the processing of your personal data.
    • If the processing of your personal data was or is unlawful, you may request restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
    • If we no longer need your personal data but you need it to exercise, defend, or establish legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing instead of erasure.
    • If you have objected under Article 21(1) GDPR, your interests and ours must be weighed against each other. Until it has been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.

    If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, apart from storage, this data may be processed only with your consent, to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims, to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a member state.

    SSL or TLS Encryption

    For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the website operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection because the address line in your browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and a lock symbol appears in your browser bar.

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