Recipients of personal data

In the scope of our business activities, we cooperate with various external parties. In some cases, this also
requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only disclose personal data to external
parties if this is required as part of the fulfillment of a contract, if we are legally obligated to do so (e.g.,
disclosure of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 (1)(f)
GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the disclosure of this data. When using processors, we only disclose
personal data of our customers on the basis of a valid contract on data processing. In the case of joint
processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Revocation of your consent to the processing of data

A wide range of data processing transactions are possible only subject to your express consent. You can also
revoke at any time any consent you have already given us. This shall be without prejudice to the lawfulness
of any data collection that occurred prior to your revocation.

Right to object to the collection of data in special cases; right to object to direct
advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)
IN THE EVENT THAT DATA ARE PROCESSED ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE

GROUNDS ARISING FROM YOUR UNIQUE SITUATION. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO ANY PROFILING BASED
ON THESE PROVISIONS. TO DETERMINE THE LEGAL BASIS, ON WHICH ANY PROCESSING OF DATA IS

WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA, UNLESS WE ARE IN A POSITION TO
PRESENT COMPELLING PROTECTION WORTHY GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING OF YOUR DATA,

YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA FOR

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects are entitled to log a complaint with a supervisory
agency, in particular in the member state where they usually maintain their domicile, place of work or at the
place where the alleged violation occurred. The right to log a complaint is in effect regardless of any other
administrative or court proceedings available as legal recourses.
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 you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you should

You have the right to demand the imposition of restrictions as far as the processing of your personal data is
concerned. To do so, you may contact us at any time. The right to demand restriction of processing applies in
the following cases:
In the event that you should dispute the correctness of your data archived by us, we will usually need
some time to verify this claim. During the time that this investigation is ongoing, you have the right to
demand that we restrict the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data was/is conducted in an unlawful manner, you have the option to
demand the restriction of the processing of your data instead of demanding the eradication of this data.
If we do not need your personal data any longer and you need it to exercise, defend or claim legal

entitlements, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead
of its eradication.
If you have raised an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, your rights and our rights will have to be
weighed against each other. As long as it has not been determined whose interests prevail, you have the
right to demand a restriction of the processing of your personal data.

protect the rights of other natural persons or legal entities or for important public interest reasons cited by
the European Union or a member state of the EU.

SSL and/or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as purchase orders or
inquiries you submit to us as the website operator, this website uses either an SSL or a TLS encryption
program. You can recognize an encrypted connection by checking whether the address line of the browser
switches from “http://” to “https://” and also by the appearance of the lock icon in the browser line.
If the SSL or TLS encryption is activated, data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Encrypted payment transactions on this website

If you are under an obligation to share your payment information (e.g. account number if you give us the
authority to debit your bank account) with us after you have entered into a fee-based contract with us, this
information is required to process payments.
Payment transactions using common modes of paying (Visa/MasterCard, debit to your bank account) are
processed exclusively via encrypted SSL or TLS connections. You can recognize an encrypted connection by
checking whether the address line of the browser switches from “http://” to “https://” and also by the
appearance of the lock icon in the browser line.
If the communication with us is encrypted, third parties will not be able to read the payment information you
share with us.

Rejection of unsolicited e-mails

We herewith object to the use of contact information published in conjunction with the mandatory
information to be provided in our Site Notice to send us promotional and information material that we have
not expressly requested. The operators of this website and its pages reserve the express right to take legal
action in the event of the unsolicited sending of promotional information, for instance via SPAM messages.

Our websites and pages use what the industry refers to as “cookies.” Cookies are small data packages that do

automatically deleted once you terminate your visit. Permanent cookies remain archived on your device
until you actively delete them, or they are automatically eradicated by your web browser.
Cookies can be issued by us (first-party cookies) or by third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies).
Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services of third-party companies into websites (e.g.,
cookies for handling payment services).

Cookies have a variety of functions. Many cookies are technically essential since certain website functions
would not work in the absence of these cookies (e.g., the shopping cart function or the display of videos).
Other cookies may be used to analyze user behavior or for promotional purposes.
Cookies, which are required for the performance of electronic communication transactions, for the provision
of certain functions you want to use (e.g., for the shopping cart function) or those that are necessary for the
optimization (required cookies) of the website (e.g., cookies that provide measurable insights into the web
audience), shall be stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless a different legal basis is cited. The
operator of the website has a legitimate interest in the storage of required cookies to ensure the technically
error-free and optimized provision of the operator’s services. If your consent to the storage of the cookies

the consent obtained (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG); this consent may be revoked at any time.

cookies in certain cases or in general or activate the delete-function for the automatic eradication of cookies

exists. This shall be without prejudice to any mandatory legal retention periods.
Usercentrics uses cookies to obtain the declarations of consent mandated by law. The legal basis for the use
of specific technologies is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.

Contact form

If you submit inquiries to us via our contact form, the information provided in the contact form as well as any
contact information provided therein will be stored by us in order to handle your inquiry and in the event
that we have further questions. We will not share this information without your consent.
The processing of these data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, if your request is related to the execution of a
contract or if it is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases the processing is based
on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the requests addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or
on your agreement (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this has been requested; the consent can be revoked at any time.

The information you have entered into the contact form shall remain with us until you ask us to eradicate the
data, revoke your consent to the archiving of data or if the purpose for which the information is being
archived no longer exists (e.g., after we have concluded our response to your inquiry). This shall be without
prejudice to any mandatory legal provisions, in particular retention periods.

Use of artificial intelligence (AI) to respond to customers

We use AI-supported software to process and respond to customer inquiries. The AI we use analyzes the
content of your message in order to autonomously or partially autonomously generate a suitable answer or a
suggested answer. In this context, our AI processes all the content of your message, including names, email
addresses, communication content or technical information (e.g. IP addresses, device information).
The AI software used is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in the most efficient
customer communication possible using modern technical solutions.

Request by e-mail, telephone, or fax

If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, your request, including all resulting personal data (name,
request) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We do not pass these
data on without your consent.
These data are processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a
contract or is required for the performance of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the data are
processed on the basis of our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries submitted to us (Art.
6(1)(f) GDPR) or on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if it has been obtained; the consent can be
revoked at any time.
The data sent by you to us via contact requests remain with us until you request us to delete, revoke your
consent to the storage or the purpose for the data storage lapses (e.g. after completion of your request).
Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular statutory retention periods - remain unaffected.

Communication via WhatsApp

For communication with our customers and other third parties, one of the services we use is the instant
messaging service WhatsApp. The provider is WhatsApp Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand
Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.
The communication is encrypted end-to-end (peer-to-peer), which prevents WhatsApp or other third parties
from gaining access to the communication content. However, WhatsApp does gain access to metadata
created during the communication process (for example, sender, recipient, and time). We would also like to
point out that WhatsApp has stated that it shares personal data of its users with its U.S.-based parent
company Meta. Further details on data processing can be found in the WhatsApp privacy policy at:
https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/#privacy-policy.
The use of WhatsApp is based on our legitimate interest in communicating as quickly and effectively as
possible with customers, interested parties and other business and contractual partners (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
If a corresponding consent has been requested, data processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of the
consent; this consent may be revoked at any time with effect for the future.
The communication content exchanged between you and us on WhatsApp remains with us until you request
us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for which the data is stored ceases to apply
(e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions, in particular retention periods,
remain unaffected.

The company is certified in accordance with the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (DPF). The DPF is an
agreement between the European Union and the US, which is intended to ensure compliance with European
data protection standards for data processing in the US. Every company certified under the DPF is obliged to
comply with these data protection standards. For more information, please contact the provider under the
following link:
https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/participant/7735.
We use WhatsApp in the “WhatsApp Business” variant.

Commission. Details can be found here:

case. However, if you have communicated this information to us for other purposes and from a different
location (e.g., when subscribing to the newsletter), the data shall remain in our possession.

Storage period for comments

Comments and any affiliated information shall be stored by us and remain on this website until the content
the comment pertained to has been deleted in its entirety or if the comments had to be deleted for legal

reasons (e.g., insulting comments).
Legal basis
Comments are stored on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You have the right to revoke at any
time any consent you have already given us. To do so, all you are required to do is sent us an informal
