We would like to point out that data transmission over the internet (e.g., communication by email) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data from access by third parties is not possible.

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke consent at any time. An informal email notification is sufficient. The legality of data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF 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 FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21(1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THIS PROCESSING AT ANY TIME. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Supervisory Authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the member state of their habitual residence, workplace, or place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive data that we process based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract in a commonly used, machine-readable format. You have the right to have this data transmitted directly to another controller, where technically feasible.

SSL or TLS Encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries you send to us. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change in the browser’s address line from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock icon in your browser bar.

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

You have the right to receive information free of charge about your stored personal data, its origin, recipient, and the purpose of data processing.

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 applies in the following cases:

If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing. If the processing of your data is unlawful, you may request restriction 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 may request restriction instead of deletion. If you have objected pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours.

As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of processing. If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data – apart from its storage – 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 important reasons of public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

Mandatory statutory provisions – especially retention periods – remain unaffected.

5. Plugins and Tools

YouTube with Enhanced Privacy Mode

This website includes videos from YouTube. The operator of the pages is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

We use YouTube in enhanced privacy mode. According to YouTube, this mode ensures that YouTube does not store information about visitors to this website unless they watch the video. However, data transfer to YouTube partners is not necessarily excluded by the enhanced privacy mode.

Once you start a YouTube video, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. The YouTube server is informed about which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to associate your browsing behavior directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

Furthermore, YouTube may store various cookies on your device after you start a video. With the help of these cookies, YouTube can obtain information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve user experience, and prevent fraud. These cookies remain on your device until you delete them.

After starting a YouTube video, further data processing operations may be triggered over which we have no control.

The use of YouTube is in the interest of presenting our online offerings in an appealing way. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If appropriate consent has been requested (e.g., consent to store cookies), processing is carried out exclusively based on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time.
