Recipients of Personal Data

As part of our business activities, we work with various external parties. This sometimes requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only transfer personal data to external parties if this is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract, if we are legally obligated to do so (e.g., transfer of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the transfer according to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the data transfer. When using data processors, we only transfer personal data of our customers 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 only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke consent that you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent 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, their place of work, or the place of the alleged violation. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillments of a contract handed over to you or to 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 if it is technically feasible.

Information, Rectification, and Deletion

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, and, if applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time regarding this and any other questions about 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 regarding this. The right to restrict processing exists in the following cases:

  • If you dispute 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 of your personal data.

  • If the processing of your personal data happened/is happening unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.

  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defense, or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.

  • If you have filed 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 may – apart from being stored – only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise, or defense 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 European Union or a Member State.

Objection to Advertising Emails We hereby object to the use of contact data published as part of the imprint obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and information materials.

Newsletter registration is carried out via a "double-opt-in" procedure. That means you will receive an email after registration asking you to confirm your subscription. This confirmation is necessary to prevent unauthorised email addresses from being used.

Registrations for the newsletter are logged to provide evidence of the registration process in accordance with legal requirements. This includes storing the registration and confirmation timestamps, as well as the IP address. Any changes to your data stored by Mailchimp are also logged.

Providing your email address is necessary for the conclusion of the contract. Failure to provide it means no contract can be concluded.

The contact details for exercising your objection can be found in the imprint. You can also use the designated link in the advertising email.
