Data processing can also be based on our legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The relevant legal basis for each individual case will be explained in the sections of this privacy policy below.

Recipients of Personal Data

In the course of our business activities, we collaborate with various external parties. In some cases, the transfer of personal data to these external parties is necessary. We only pass on personal data to external parties if this is required for contract fulfillment, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g., the transfer of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the transfer (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR), or if another legal basis allows the transfer. When using processors, we only share personal data with them based on a valid processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke any previously granted consent at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out up until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to Lodge a Complaint with a Supervisory Authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the member state of their habitual residence, place of work, or the location of the alleged violation. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to request that we hand over data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, either to you or to a third party, in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another responsible party, this will only be done if technically feasible.

Information, Correction, and Deletion

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, as well as, if necessary, a right to correction or deletion of this data. For this, as well as for further questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at any time.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. To do this, you can contact us at any time. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:

If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, 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 lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your and our interests. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data may only be processed — apart from its storage — 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 important public interest of the European Union or a member state.

Objection to Advertising Emails

We hereby object to the use of contact data published within the scope of the legal notice obligation for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and information materials. The operator of this site expressly reserves the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited promotional information, such as spam emails.

6. Plugins and Tools

YouTube with Enhanced Privacy

Our website uses plugins from YouTube, a Google service. The operator of the pages is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA.

We use YouTube in enhanced privacy mode. According to YouTube, this mode ensures that YouTube does not store information about visitors to this website before they watch the video. However, enhanced privacy mode does not necessarily prevent data transmission to YouTube partners. For example, YouTube establishes a connection to the Google DoubleClick network, regardless of whether you watch a video.

Once you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection to YouTube’s servers is established. This tells the YouTube server which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to directly associate your browsing behavior with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

Furthermore, YouTube can store various cookies on your device after starting a video. These cookies allow YouTube to collect information about visitors to this website. This information is used to capture video statistics, improve user experience, and prevent fraud. The cookies remain on your device until you delete them.

If applicable, further data processing operations may be triggered after starting a YouTube video, which we cannot influence.

YouTube is used in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offerings. This constitutes a legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG, to the extent that the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

Further information on data protection at YouTube can be found in their privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

Google Web Fonts (Local Hosting)

This site uses so-called web fonts, provided by Google, for the uniform display of fonts. The Google fonts are installed locally. No connection to Google servers takes place.

Further information on Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

Google Maps

This site uses the Google Maps service via an API. The provider is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

To use the functions of Google Maps, it is necessary to store your IP address. This information is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this site has no influence on this data transmission.

The use of Google Maps is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers and an easy findability of the places we specify on the website. This constitutes a legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG, to the extent that the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

Further information on how user data is handled can be found in Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

7. eCommerce and Payment Providers

Processing of Data (Customer and Contract Data)

We collect, process, and use personal data only to the extent necessary for establishing, structuring, or modifying the legal relationship (inventory data). This is done on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, which allows data processing for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

Data Transfer upon Conclusion of a Contract for Online Shops, Retailers, and Goods Dispatch

We transfer personal data to third parties only when it is necessary in the context of contract processing, for example, to the company entrusted with the delivery of the goods or the financial institution responsible for processing the payment. Any further transmission of data does not take place, or only if you have expressly consented to the transmission. Your data will not be passed on to third parties without your explicit consent, for example for advertising purposes.

The basis for data processing is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, which allows data processing for the performance of a contract or pre-contractual measures.
