If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR if special categories of data (Art. 9(1) GDPR) are processed.

If your data is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract or for the performance of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, if the processing of your data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation, it is based on Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Data processing may also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The following sections of this Privacy Policy provide information on the relevant legal bases in each individual case.
Recipients of Personal Data
As part of our business activities, we work with various external parties. In some cases, it may be necessary to transfer personal data to these external parties. We only transfer personal data to external parties if it is necessary for the performance of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g., transfer of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits data transfer. When using processors, we only transfer personal data of our customers on the basis of a valid processing contract. 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 an already granted 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 CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME, FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. PLEASE REFER TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY FOR THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA IN QUESTION UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ASSERTION, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR). IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA RELATING TO YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH ADVERTISING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH DIRECT ADVERTISING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL THEREAFTER NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING 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, workplace, or the place of the alleged violation. This right to complain is 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 the performance 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 insofar as it is technically feasible.
Access, Rectification, and Erasure
Within the scope of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain information about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, and, if applicable, the right to have this data corrected or deleted, free of charge. For further questions on personal data, you can 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. To do this, you can contact us at any time. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:
If you dispute the accuracy of the personal data we hold on you, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to restrict 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 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 processing of your personal data instead of its erasure. If you have filed an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of your interests against ours must be carried out. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests outweigh the other’s, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data. If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data—apart from being stored—may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, 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 of a Member State.

Contact Form
If you submit inquiries to us via a contact form, the information you provide in the form, including your contact details, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and for any follow-up questions. We do not share this data without your consent.
The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your request is related to the performance of a contract or necessary for implementing pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively handling inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), provided this was obtained. Consent can be revoked at any time.
The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or until the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions—in particular retention periods—remain unaffected.
Inquiry by Email, Phone, or Fax
If you contact us by email, phone, or fax, your inquiry, including all personal data arising from it (name, inquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your concern. We do not share this data without your consent.
The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your request is related to the performance of a contract or necessary for implementing pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), provided this was obtained. Consent can be revoked at any time.
The data you send to us through contact inquiries remains with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your concern has been resolved). Mandatory statutory provisions—in particular statutory retention periods—remain unaffected.
5. Newsletter
Newsletter Data
If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we need your email address as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No additional data is collected or is only collected on a voluntary basis. We use this data solely for sending the requested information and do not disclose it to third parties.
The processing of the data entered into the newsletter subscription form is based exclusively on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can revoke your consent to the storage of the data, the email address, and their use for sending the newsletter at any time, for instance via the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
The data you provide to us for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us or by the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe or once the purpose has been fulfilled. We reserve the right to remove or block email addresses from our newsletter distribution list at our own discretion within the framework of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Data that are stored by us for other purposes (e.g., email addresses for the members’ area) remain unaffected by this.
After you have unsubscribed from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist if necessary to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist is used only for this purpose and is not merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with legal requirements for sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Storage in the blacklist is not time-limited. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.
