Notice on Data Transfer to the USA and Other Third Countries

We use, among other things, tools from companies based in the USA or other not safe third countries. If these tools are active, your personal data can be transferred to these third countries and processed there. We would like to point out that no level of data protection comparable to that of the EU can be guaranteed in these countries. For example, U.S. companies are obliged to release personal data to security authorities without you as affected person being able to take legal action against it. Therefore, it cannot be excluded that US authorities (e.g. secret services) process, analyze and permanently store your data stored on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

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

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF THE DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6 PARA. 1 LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS DATA PROTECTION DECLARATION. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA CONCERNED, UNLESS WE CAN PROVE COMPELLING REASONS WORTHY OF PROTECTION FOR THE PROCESSING, WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR THE PROCESSING SERVES TO ASSERT, EXERCISE OR DEFEND LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION ACCORDING TO ART. 21 PARA. 1 GDPR). IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH ADVERTISING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING, INSOFAR AS IT IS CONNECTED WITH SUCH DIRECT ADVERTISING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL THEN NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT ADVERTISING (OBJECTION ACCORDING TO ART. 21 PARA. 2 GDPR).

Right of Appeal to the Competent Supervisory Authority

In the event of non-compliance with the GDPR, the affected person shall have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of habitual residence, place of work or place of alleged infringement. The right of appeal shall be without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in the performance of a contract handed out to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this is only done to the extent that it is technically realizable.

SSL or TLS Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries, which you send to us as the site operator, this site uses an SSL or TLS encryption. An encrypted connection can be recognized by the lock symbol in your browser line.

If the SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data you send to us cannot be read by third parties.

Information, Deletion and Rectification

You have the right to free information about your stored personal data, their origin and recipients and the purpose of the data processing and, if applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data at any time within the scope of the applicable legal provisions. You can contact us at any time for this and for further questions on the subject of personal data.

Right to Restriction of Processing

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