General Information on the Legal Basis for Data Processing on this Website
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR, insofar as special categories of data are processed in accordance with Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR.

Recipients of personal data
As part of our business operations, we collaborate with various external entities. This sometimes requires the transfer of personal data to these external entities. We only transfer personal data to external entities when it is necessary for the performance of a contract, when we are legally obligated to do so (e.g., disclosure of data to tax authorities), when we have a legitimate interest in the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or when another legal basis permits the data transfer. When using order processors, we only transfer our customers' personal data on the basis of a valid order processing agreement. In the event of joint processing, a joint processing agreement will be concluded.
Withdrawal of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke a previously given consent at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to object to data processing in special cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
If the data processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. You can find the respective legal basis on which processing is based in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your affected personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to establish, exercise or defend 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, including profiling, to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will no longer be processed for direct marketing purposes (objection pursuant to Art. 21 para. 2 GDPR).
Right of complaint to the competent supervisory authority
In the event of infringements 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, place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. The right to complain shall be 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 performance of a contract, either for yourself or for a third party, in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent that it is technically feasible.
Information, Correction, and Deletion
You have the right to free access to your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing at any time, in accordance with the applicable legal provisions, and, if necessary, a right to rectification or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time for this and for further questions on the subject of personal data.
Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
- If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we generally require time to verify it. During the verification period, you have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data.
- If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request a restriction of the processing instead of deletion.
- If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
- If you have lodged an objection under Article 21(1) of the GDPR, a balancing of your interests and our interests must be carried out. 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, these data may be processed – apart from storage – only with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.

Cookies
Our websites use so-called „cookies.“ Cookies are small data packets and do not cause any damage to your terminal device. They are stored on your terminal device either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your terminal device until you delete them yourself or they are automatically deleted by your web browser.
Cookies can originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services from third-party companies within websites (e.g., cookies for processing payment services).
Cookies have various functions. Numerous cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or video playback). Other cookies can be used for analyzing user behavior or for advertising purposes.
Cookies that are necessary for the electronic communication process, for providing certain functions desired by you (e.g., for the shopping cart function), or for optimizing the website (e.g., cookies for measuring the web audience) (necessary cookies) 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 for the technically flawless and optimized provision of its services. If consent has been requested for the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies, processing will be carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TTDSG); consent can be revoked at any time.
You can set up your browser to notify you about the setting of cookies and to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. The functionality of this website may be restricted when cookies are deactivated.

Contact Form
If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your information from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing your inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent.
The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR, provided that your request is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively handling inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if it has been requested; consent can be withdrawn at any time.
The data you enter into the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions, especially retention periods, remain unaffected.
hCaptcha
We use hCaptcha on this website. The provider is Intuition Machines, Inc., 2211 Selig Drive, Los Angeles, CA 90026, USA (hereinafter referred to as „IMI“).
hCaptcha is used to verify whether data entered on this website (e.g., in a contact form) comes from a human or an automated program. To do this, hCaptcha analyzes the website visitor's behavior based on various characteristics.
This analysis begins automatically as soon as a website visitor accesses a website with hCaptcha enabled. For the analysis, hCaptcha evaluates various pieces of information (e.g., IP address, how long the website visitor stays on the website, or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to IMI. If hCaptcha is used in „invisible mode,“ the analyses run entirely in the background. Website visitors are not informed that an analysis is taking place.
Data storage and analysis are carried out based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its web offerings from abusive automated snooping and from SPAM. Where corresponding consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 Para. 1 TTDSG, insofar as consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user's end device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.
Data processing is based on standard contractual clauses contained in IMI's data processing addendum or data processing agreements.
For more information about hCaptcha, please refer to the Privacy Policy and Terms of Use at the following links: https://www.hcaptcha.com/privacy and https://hcaptcha.com/terms.
The company is certified under the „EU-US Data Privacy Framework“ (DPF). The DPF is an agreement between the European Union and the United States designed to ensure compliance with European data protection standards for data processing in the US. Any company certified under the DPF commits to adhering to these data protection standards.
