Personal data is data that can be used to personally identify you. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.
We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) may have security gaps. It is not possible to completely protect data from access by third parties.

General information on the legal basis of data processing on this
webpage
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR or Article 9 (2) (a) GDPR, provided that special categories of data are processed in accordance with Article 9 (1) GDPR. In the event of express consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also carried out on the basis of Article 49 (1) (a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), data processing is also carried out on the basis of Section 25 (1) TTDSG. The consent can be withdrawn at any time. If your data is necessary to fulfill a contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures, we process your
Data based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO. We also process your data insofar as it is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c DSGVO. Data processing may also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The relevant legal bases in each individual case are set out in the following
paragraphs of this privacy policy.
Note on data transfer to the USA and other third countries
Among other things, we use tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that are not secure under data protection law. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these third countries. We would like to point out that no level of data protection comparable with the EU can be guaranteed in these countries. For example, US companies are required to provide personal data to security authorities
without you, as the person concerned, being able to take legal action against this. It cannot therefore be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. secret services) may process, evaluate and permanently store your data on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.
Withdrawal of your consent to data processing
Many data processing processes are only possible with your express consent. You can withdraw consent that you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out up to the time of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to object to data collection in special cases and against
Direct advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)
IF DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6 PARA. 1 LIT. E OR F DSGVO, 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 FILE AN OBJECTION, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA CONCERNED, UNLESS WE CAN PROVE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE REASONS FOR PROCESSING THAT OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR THAT
PROCESSING SERVES TO ASSERT, EXERCISE OR DEFEND
LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ARTICLE 21 (1) GDPR). IS YOUR PERSONAL DATA PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES,
SO YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOU AT ANY TIME
RELEVANT PERSONAL DATA 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 THEN NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION IN ACCORDANCE WITH ARTICLE 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, place of work or place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint 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 fulfillment of a contract handed over to yourself or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of data to another person responsible, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.
Information, deletion and correction
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to receive information free of charge about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of data processing and, if applicable, a right to correct or delete this data. You can contact us at any time about this and if you have any further questions on the subject of personal data.
Right to restrict processing
You have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted. You can contact us for this at any time. 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 audit, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted. If the processing of your personal data was/happens unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion. If we no longer need your personal data, but you do need it to exercise it,
If you need to defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion. If you have filed an objection in accordance with Article 21 (1) GDPR, a balance must be made between your interests and ours. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to restrict the processing of your personal data
to demand. If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data — apart from being stored — may only be used with your consent or to assert, exercise or defend legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or
legal entity or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.
