Recipients of personal data

As part of our business activities, we work together with various external bodies.
In some cases, it is necessary to transfer personal data to these external bodies.
We only pass on personal data to external bodies when it is necessary for the performance of a contract, when we are legally obliged to do so (e.g., disclosure of data to tax authorities), when we have a legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR, or when another legal basis permits such data transfer. When using data processors, we only transfer our customers’ personal data based on a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent.
You can revoke your previously given consent at any time. Any such revocation will not affect the lawfulness of any data processing performed prior to revocation.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in performance of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transmission of the data to another controller, this will only take place to the extent technically feasible.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.
You can contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restrict processing exists in the following cases:

• If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually 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.
• If the processing of your personal data has been or is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
• If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
• If you have lodged an objection in accordance with Art. 21 (1) of the 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 that the processing of your personal data be restricted.

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 queries 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 padlock symbol in your browser’s address bar.

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

This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (b) of the GDPR if your query is related to the performance of a contract or in order to take steps prior to entering into a contract. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of queries addressed to us (Art. 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) of the GDPR) if this has been requested; consent can be revoked at any time.
