In addition, we would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet is not possible without accepting possible security gaps. Even we cannot guarantee complete protection of your data, but we make every effort to protect your data comprehensively.

Why do we need your data?

Your data is collected so that we can display our website without errors. Other data could be used to analyze your user behavior.

Furthermore, the data collection is carried out on a legal basis:

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Article 6 Paragraph 1 Subparagraph 1 (a) GDPR respectively Article 9, Paragraph 2 (a) GDPR, if sensitive data are processed according to Article 9 Paragraph 1 GDPR.

How long do we store your data?

We adhere to the respective statutory retention period for the maximum duration of the storage of your personal data. Your data will only be stored by us until we no longer need it for our data processing. With regard to the storage of your data, we are bound by the purpose for which we collected your data. Unless a specific storage period is stated in this information, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies.

If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, we must delete your data in the event that there are no other legally permissible reasons for the continued storage of your data, such as retention periods under commercial and tax law. We can only comply with your request for deletion when these reasons no longer apply.

Where do we get your data?

We collect your data because you provide us with the data via a contact form or other means. There is additional data that is collected automatically or only after your consent when you visit our website. This is mainly technical data such as your operating system and the time of the page view

To whom do we provide your data?

We use tools from third-party companies based in and outside the EU and the EEA. Your personal data may be transferred to these third-party companies if you have activated these tools - unless they are necessary for the functionality of the website.

Furthermore, we also use tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that are not secure under data protection law. Your personal data may also be transferred to these companies if you have activated the corresponding tools. In these countries, there is no level of data protection comparable to that in the EU

Such data transfer requires an adequacy decision issued by the EU Commission, which ensures a comparable level of protection of your personal data. In the event that there is no such adequacy decision, other appropriate safeguards pursuant to Article 44 GDPR et seq. must be taken.

What rights do you have? - Your data subject rights

You can assert your rights according to Article 12 GDPR et seq. can be asserted.

Revocation of consent to data processing

In part, we process your data with your express consent. You can revoke an already given consent at any time with effect for the future. You assert the revocation by means of informal communication by e-mail to us. You can also contact our data protection officer, he will inform us of your request. However, the legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation exercised by you.

Objection in special cases / against direct advertising, Article 21 GDPR

If the data processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6 Paragraph 1 Subparagraph 1 (f) GDPR, then you can object to the processing of your personal data for reasons that arise from your particular situation. This also applies to any profiling - the legal basis for such profiling can be found in this information. If you exercise your right to object, your personal data concerned will no longer be processed unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims under Article 21 Paragraph 1 GDPR.

If we process your personal data for direct marketing, you have the right to object to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such marketing. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to direct advertising. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be sent for the purpose of direct advertising in accordance with Article 21 Paragraph 2 GDPR.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically handed over to you or to a third party in a common machine-readable format. If you request the transfer of the data to another controller, it will only be done if it is technically possible.

For this period, you have the right to request restriction of your data. In the event that the processing of your data is unlawful, you can demand the restriction of processing instead of the deletion of the data. If we no longer need your personal data, but you wish to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request at least the restriction of data processing. If you have lodged an objection in accordance with Article 21 Paragraph 1 GDPR, we must weigh your interests against ours, during which time you have the right to request the restriction of the data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data may - apart from being stored - only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or any Member State.

Right of complaint to a competent supervisory authority

As a data subject, you still have the right to file a complaint with a supervisory authority in the event of violations of the GDPR. This must be the competent supervisory authority under data protection law in your federal state. You always have the right to file a complaint, regardless of what other measures you take.
