Notice Regarding Data Transfer to Non-Secure Third Countries and the Transfer to US Companies Not Certified Under DPF
We use tools from companies based in non-secure third countries from a data protection perspective, as well as US tools whose providers are not certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these countries. We point out that in non-secure third countries, a level of data protection comparable to that in the EU cannot be guaranteed.

We point out that the USA, as a secure third country, generally has a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU. Data transfer to the USA is permissible if the recipient is certified under the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (DPF) or has appropriate additional guarantees. Information on transfers to third countries, including data recipients, can be found in this privacy policy.

Recipients of Personal Data

In the course of our business activities, we work with various external parties. This sometimes requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties.

We only share personal data with external parties when it is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract, when we are legally obligated to do so (e.g., transfer of data to tax authorities), when we have a legitimate interest in the transfer as per Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or when another legal basis permits the data transfer. When using data processors, we only transfer personal data of our customers based on a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing contract is concluded.

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke an already given consent at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Advertising (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 ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS OR THE PROCESSING IS FOR THE PURPOSE OF ASSERTING, EXERCISING, OR DEFENDING 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 PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING; 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 PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).

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, in particular 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 is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.

Right to Data Portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another responsible party, this will only be done to the extent that it is technically feasible.

Information, Correction, and Deletion
Within the scope 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 at any time, and if applicable, a right to correct or delete this data. For this purpose, as well as for further questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at any time.

Right to Restrict Processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. For this purpose, you can contact us at any time. 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 verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, 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 the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.

If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your and our interests. As long as it is not yet clear 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, such 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.

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 requests you send to us as the site operator. An encrypted connection can be recognized by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line. When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Encrypted Payment Transactions on This Website
If there is an obligation to provide us with your payment data (e.g., account number for direct debit authorization) after the conclusion of a paid contract, this data will be required for payment processing.

Payment transactions via common means of payment (Visa/MasterCard, direct debit) are carried out exclusively via an encrypted SSL or TLS connection. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

With encrypted communication, your payment data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

We hereby object to the use of contact data published within the scope of the imprint obligation for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and information materials.

Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services from third-party companies within websites (e.g., cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies that are necessary to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions you have requested (e.g., for the shopping cart function), or to optimize the website (e.g., cookies to measure the web audience) are stored based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified.

5. Social Media

Social Media Elements with Shariff
This website uses social media elements (e.g., Facebook, X, Instagram, Pinterest, XING, LinkedIn, Tumblr). The social media elements can usually be recognized by the respective social media logos. To ensure data protection on this website, we use these elements only together with the so-called “Shariff” solution. This application prevents the social media elements integrated on this website from transmitting your personal data to the respective provider when you first enter the page.

Only when you activate the respective social media element by clicking the associated button, a direct connection to the provider’s server is established (consent). Once you activate the social media element, the respective provider receives the information that you have visited this website with your IP address. If you are logged into your respective social media account (e.g., Facebook) at the same time, the respective provider can assign the visit to this website to your user account.

Activating the plugin constitutes consent within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG. This consent can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.

6. Analysis Tools and Advertising

Google Tag Manager

We use Google Tag Manager. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. Google Tag Manager is a tool that allows us to integrate tracking or statistical tools and other technologies on our website. Google Tag Manager itself does not create user profiles, store cookies, or perform independent analyses. It is only used for the management and deployment of the tools integrated via it.

Furthermore, targeted advertisements can be played based on the user data available at Google (e.g., location data and interests) (target group targeting). As the website operator, we can quantitatively evaluate this data by analyzing, for example, which search terms led to the display of our advertisements and how many ads resulted in corresponding clicks.

The use of this service is based on your consent according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG. The consent can be revoked at any time.

The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation. The United Kingdom is considered a data protection compliant third country. This means that the level of data protection in the United Kingdom is equivalent to that of the European Union.

After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your email address will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist, if necessary, to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and will not be merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest according to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
