General notes and mandatory information

Name of the controller

The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:

The controller decides alone or jointly with others on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, contact details, etc.).

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

Some data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time. A simple email is sufficient. The lawfulness of the processing carried out prior to the withdrawal remains unaffected.

Right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority

In the event of a breach of data protection law, data subjects have a right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. The competent authority is the state data protection officer of the federal state in which our company is based. A list of data protection officers and their contact details can be found here: www.bfdi.bund.de.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data which we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to yourself or to a third party. It will be provided in a machine‑readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done where technically feasible.

Right of access, rectification, blocking, erasure

Within the framework of applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of the data processing and, if applicable, a right to rectification, blocking or erasure of this data. For this purpose, and for further questions on personal data, you can contact us at any time using the details provided in the legal notice.

SSL/TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content that you send to us as the site operator, our website uses SSL/TLS encryption. This means that data you transmit via this website cannot be read by third parties. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the “https://” address line of your browser and the lock symbol in the browser bar.

There is no merging of this data with other data sources. The basis for data processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, which permits processing of data for the performance of a contract or pre‑contractual measures.

Cookies

Our website uses cookies. These are small text files that your web browser stores on your end device. Cookies help us make our offering more user‑friendly, effective and secure.

Some cookies are “session cookies”. Such cookies are automatically deleted after your browser session ends. Other cookies, on the other hand, remain on your end device until you delete them yourself. Such cookies help us recognize you when you return to our website.

With a modern web browser, you can monitor, restrict or prevent the setting of cookies. Many web browsers can be configured so that cookies are automatically deleted when the program is closed. Disabling cookies may result in limited functionality of our website.

You can find information about this option for the most commonly used browsers at the following links:

Unless you have made or make different settings, cookies that are necessary to enable and ensure the required technical functions remain on your end device until the browser is closed; other cookies may remain on your device for longer.

The setting of cookies necessary for carrying out electronic communication processes or for providing certain functions requested by you (e.g. shopping cart) is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. As the operator of this website, we have a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error‑free and smooth provision of our services. Insofar as other cookies (e.g. for analytics) are set, these are treated separately in this privacy policy. You can set your web browser to notify you when cookies are set or to reject or deactivate all or certain cookies, for example to prohibit web tracking. By prohibiting or deactivating and deleting all cookies, you can also withdraw any consent given. If you deactivate or restrict cookies using your browser, various functions on our website will no longer be available to you. You can delete stored cookies at any time using your web browser, including automatically.
