Your Rights as a Data Subject

You may exercise the following rights at any time using the contact details of our data protection officer:

• Information about your data stored with us and its processing,
• Correction of inaccurate personal data,
• Deletion of your data stored with us,
• Restriction of data processing, if we are not yet permitted to delete your data due to legal obligations,
• Objection to the processing of your data, and
• Data portability, if you have consented to data processing or have concluded a contract with us.

If you have given us consent, you may withdraw it at any time with effect for the future.

You may at any time lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority responsible for you. Your competent supervisory authority depends on the federal state of your residence, workplace, or the alleged infringement. A list of supervisory authorities (for the non-public sector) with addresses can be found at: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html.

Purposes of Data Processing by the Responsible Party and Third Parties

We process your personal data only for the purposes stated in this privacy policy. Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those stated. We only share your personal data with third parties if:

• You have given your explicit consent,
• Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you,
• Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation, or
• Processing is necessary to protect legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in not disclosing your data.

Deletion or Blocking of Data

We adhere to the principles of data minimization and data economy. We therefore store your personal data only for as long as necessary to achieve the purposes stated here, or as required by the various storage periods provided for by law. Once the respective purpose has ceased or these periods have expired, the corresponding data is routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal requirements.

Collection of General Information When Visiting Our Website

When you access our website, certain general information is automatically collected via a cookie. This information (server log files) includes the type of web browser used, the operating system, the domain name of your internet service provider, and similar data. This information does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about your identity.

This information is technically necessary to correctly deliver the content of websites you request and is inevitably generated when using the internet. It is processed in particular for the following purposes:

• Ensuring a smooth connection to the website,
• Ensuring comfortable use of our website,
• Evaluation of system security and stability, and
• Other administrative purposes.

The processing of your personal data is based on our legitimate interest arising from the aforementioned purposes of data collection. We do not use your data to draw conclusions about your identity. Recipients of the data are only the responsible party and, if applicable, processors.

Anonymous information of this type may be statistically evaluated by us to optimize our website and the underlying technology.

Order Process and Documentation of T&C Acceptance

In the context of the online order process, your acceptance of our General Terms and Conditions (T&Cs) is documented. For this purpose, the time of acceptance and your IP address are recorded server-side and included in the order confirmation. Processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (performance of a contract) and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in documenting proof of contract conclusion). The data is used solely for the purpose of documenting the contractual basis and is not processed for any other purposes.

Cookies

Like many other websites, we also use so-called "cookies". Cookies are small text files that are transferred from a website server to your hard drive. This automatically provides us with certain data such as IP address, browser used, operating system, and your internet connection.

Cookies cannot be used to launch programs or transfer viruses to a computer. The information contained in cookies allows us to facilitate navigation and enable the correct display of our web pages.

Under no circumstances will the data collected by us be passed on to third parties or linked to personal data without your consent.

Of course, you can also view our website without cookies. Internet browsers are regularly set to accept cookies. In general, you can disable the use of cookies at any time through your browser settings. Please use the help functions of your internet browser to find out how to change these settings. Please note that some functions of our website may not work if you have disabled the use of cookies.

SSL Encryption

To protect the security of your data during transmission, we use state-of-the-art encryption methods (e.g. SSL) via HTTPS.

Changes to Our Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to adapt this privacy policy so that it always complies with current legal requirements or to implement changes to our services in the privacy policy, e.g. when introducing new services. Your next visit will then be subject to the new privacy policy.
