Storage duration
We generally delete your personal data when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
If we have asked for your consent and you have given it, we will erase your personal data if you withdraw your consent and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
We will erase your personal data if you object to the processing and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing or if you object to the processing for the purposes of direct marketing or related profiling.
If erasure is not possible because processing is still necessary for compliance with a legal obligation (statutory retention periods, etc.) to which we are subject or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, we will restrict the processing of your personal data.
Further information on the storage period can also be found in the following passages.
Your rights
You have the following rights with regard to your personal data:
– Right of access
– Right to rectification
– Right to erasure
– Right to restriction of processing
– Right to object to the processing
– Right to data portability
You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of your personal data which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions. We will then no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
If we process your personal data for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct marketing. We will then no longer process your personal data for these purposes.
You have the right to withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data at any time if you have given us such consent. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
You have the right to complain to a supervisory authority about the processing of your personal data by us.
Provision of your personal data
The provision of your personal data is not required by law or contract and is not necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are generally not obliged to provide your personal data. Should this nevertheless be the case, we will point this out to you separately when collecting your personal data (e.g. by marking the mandatory fields on input forms).
Failure to provide your personal data regularly means that we will not process your personal data for one of the purposes described below and you will not be able to take advantage of an offer associated with the respective processing (example: you will not receive our newsletter without providing your e-mail address).
Web hosting
We use external services for web hosting. These services may have access to personal data that is processed as part of the use of our online offering.
Web server log files
We process your personal data in order to be able to display our online offering to you and to ensure the stability and security of our online offering. Information (e.g. requested element, URL called up, operating system, date and time of the request, browser type and version used, IP address, protocol used, amount of data transferred, user agent, referrer URL, time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) and/or HTTP status code) is stored in so-called log files (access log, error log, etc.).
If we have asked you for your consent and you have given it, the legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. If we have not asked for your consent, the legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the proper display of our online offering and ensuring the stability and security of our online offering.
Security measures
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of your personal data and other confidential content, we use encryption on our domain. You can recognize this in the browser line by the character string “https://” and the lock symbol.
Contacting us
If you contact us, we will process your personal data in order to process your contact.
If we have asked for your consent and you have given it, the legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. If we have not asked for your consent, the legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the processing of your contact. If the processing is necessary to fulfill a contract with you or to carry out pre-contractual measures based on your request, the legal basis for the processing is also Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

Newsletter
If we have asked for your consent and you have given it, we will process your e-mail address in order to carry out e-mail marketing and, if necessary, other personal data in order to address you personally. The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. The content of the email marketing is specifically described when your consent is obtained. The email marketing also contains information about us, our goods and services.
We use the so-called double opt-in procedure to prevent possible misuse of your personal data. For this purpose, after collecting your e-mail address, we will send you an e-mail to the e-mail address you have provided, in which we ask you to confirm that you actually wish to receive e-mail marketing. The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the legally compliant implementation of email marketing.
We log the time at which you give your consent and the time of your confirmation as well as your IP address and the content of your declaration of consent in order to be able to prove that your consent has been obtained in accordance with the law.

To withdraw your consent, you can use the link provided for this purpose in the emails or contact us using the contact details provided above. If you have withdrawn your consent, we reserve the right to process your personal data in a so-called blacklist/blocklist in order to ensure that no further email marketing is carried out in connection with this personal data in the future. The legal basis for processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the avoidance of unwanted email marketing.
We process your personal data in the context of tracking or performance measurement in order to measure the reach of our email marketing, to design it in line with your needs and interests and thus to optimize our email marketing. This may also involve profiling (for the purposes of advertising, personalized information, etc.). Profiling can also take place across services and devices. If we have asked for your consent and you have given it, the legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. If we have not asked for your consent, the legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the optimization of our email marketing.
