Contact form

If you contact us by e-mail or via a contact form, the data transmitted, including your contact details, will be stored in order to process your enquiry or to be available for follow-up questions. This data will not be passed on without your consent.

The data entered in the contact form is processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can withdraw your consent at any time. An informal notification by e-mail is sufficient for the cancellation. The legality of the data processing operations carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Data use and disclosure

We will not sell or otherwise market the personal data that you provide to us, e.g. by e-mail (e.g. your name and address or e-mail address), to third parties. Your personal data will only be processed for correspondence with you and only for the purpose for which you have provided us with the data. In order to process payments, we pass on your payment data to the credit institution commissioned with the payment.

Data that is automatically collected when you visit our website is only used for the aforementioned purposes. The data will not be used for any other purpose.

We assure you that we will not pass on your personal data to third parties unless we are legally obliged to do so or you have given us your prior consent.

SSL or TLS encryption

Our website uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as enquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

§1 Storage period

Personal data provided to us via our website will only be stored until the purpose for which it was entrusted to us has been fulfilled. Insofar as retention periods under commercial and tax law must be observed, the storage period for certain data may be up to 10 years.

§2 Rights of data subjects

As the data subject, you have the following rights vis-à-vis the controller with regard to the personal data concerning you in accordance with the statutory provisions:

2.1 Right of cancellation

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. If the processing of your data is based on your consent, you have the right to revoke your consent to the processing of data at any time with effect for the future in accordance with Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. The storage of data for billing and accounting purposes remains unaffected by a revocation.

2.3 Right to rectification

In accordance with Art. 16 GDPR, you have the right to request the immediate correction of incorrect personal data concerning you and/or the completion of your incomplete data at any time.

You have the right to request the deletion of your personal data in accordance with Art. 17 GDPR if one of the following reasons applies:

a) Your personal data are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.

b) You revoke your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR and there is no other legal basis for the processing.

c) for reasons of public interest in the area of public health in accordance with Art. 9 para. 2 lit. h and i and Art. 9 para. 3 GDPR;

d) for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes in accordance with Art. 89 para. 1 GDPR, insofar as the data subject's right is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing, or

e) for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.

If we have made your personal data public and we are obliged to delete it in accordance with the above, we will take appropriate measures, including technical measures, taking into account the available technology and the implementation costs, to inform data controllers who process the personal data that you, as the data subject, have requested them to delete all links to your personal data or copies or replications of this personal data.

2.5 Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request the restriction of processing (blocking) of your personal data in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR. To do so, you can contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases

a) 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 that the processing of your personal data be restricted.

b) If the processing of your personal data was/is carried out unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.

c) If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defence or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of its erasure.

d) 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 the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data - apart from its storage - may 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 EU or of a Member State.

2.6 Right to information

If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against us, we are obliged to notify all recipients to whom your personal data has been disclosed of this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort. In accordance with Art. 19 GDPR, you have the right to be informed about these recipients upon request.

2.7 Right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling

c) with your express consent.

However, the decisions in the cases referred to in (a) to (c) may not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR, unless Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a or lit. g applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect the rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests.

In the cases referred to in (a) and (c), we will take reasonable steps to safeguard your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person on the part of the controller, to express your point of view and to contest the decision.

2.8 Right to data portability

2.9 Right of objection

Insofar as we base the processing of your personal data on the balancing of interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on this provision. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy policy.
