Whenever you use this website, various types of personal data are collected. Personal data is any information that can be used to identify you personally. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and for what purpose.
Please note that data transmission over the Internet (for example, communication by email) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Email:
The data controller is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of processing personal data (such as names, email addresses, etc.).
Storage Period
Unless a more specific storage period has been stated in this Privacy Policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for processing the data no longer applies. If you submit a legitimate request for deletion or withdraw your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we are legally entitled or obliged to retain your personal data (for example, due to tax or commercial retention periods). In such cases, deletion will take place once these legal obligations no longer apply.
Legal Basis for Data Processing
Where you have given your consent, we process your personal data on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or, where special categories of personal data are involved, Article 9(2)(a) GDPR.
Where you have expressly consented to the transfer of personal data to third countries, processing is also based on Article 49(1)(a) GDPR.
If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to access information stored on your device (for example, through device fingerprinting), processing is additionally carried out in accordance with Section 25(1) TDDDG.
Consent may be withdrawn at any time.
Where your data is required for the performance of a contract or to take pre-contractual steps, we process your data on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.
Where processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, we process your data on the basis of Article 6(1)(c) GDPR.
Processing may also be based on our legitimate interests pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The applicable legal basis is explained in each individual section of this Privacy Policy.
Recipients of Personal Data
As part of our activities, we cooperate with various external organisations and service providers. In some cases, this requires the transfer of personal data.
Personal data is only shared where this is necessary for the performance of a contract, where we are legally obliged to do so, where we have a legitimate interest pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, or where another legal basis permits such disclosure.
Where processors are used, personal data is only transferred on the basis of a valid Data Processing Agreement (DPA). Where joint processing takes place, a Joint Controller Agreement is concluded.
Withdrawal of Your Consent
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future. The lawfulness of processing carried out before the withdrawal remains unaffected.
Right to Object under Article 21 GDPR
If your personal data is processed on the basis of Article 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.
If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or where processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
Where your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time. If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for direct marketing.
Right to Lodge a Complaint with a Supervisory Authority
If you believe that the processing of your personal data violates the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement.
Right to Data Portability
You have the right to receive personal data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract in a commonly used, machine-readable format. Where technically feasible, you also have the right to request that the data be transferred directly to another controller.
Right of Access, Rectification and Erasure
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients and the purpose of processing. You also have the right to request correction or deletion of this data.
If you have any questions regarding personal data, you may contact us at any time.
Right to Restriction of Processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data under the conditions set out in Article 18 GDPR.
- If you contest the accuracy of your personal data, we will usually need time to verify this. During this period you have the right to request restriction of processing.
- If the processing of your personal data is unlawful, you may request restriction instead of deletion.
- If we no longer require your personal data, but you need it for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, you may request restriction instead of deletion.
- If you have objected under Article 21(1) GDPR, processing may be restricted until it has been determined whose legitimate interests prevail.
Where processing has been restricted, your personal data may only be processed, apart from storage, with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of 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.
