Right to Data Portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract delivered to you or a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of data to another controller, this will be done only to the extent technically feasible.

  • If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may request restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the exercise, defense, or establishment of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.

They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or they are automatically deleted by your web browser.

Cookies can originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services provided by third-party companies within websites (e.g., cookies for handling payment services).

Cookies have different functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., shopping cart function or video display). Other cookies may be used to analyze user behavior or for advertising purposes.

Cookies required for the performance of electronic communication processes, for the provision of certain functions you desire (e.g., shopping cart function), or for the optimization of the website (e.g., cookies to measure the web audience) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. Where consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG); consent may be revoked at any time.

You can configure your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies, allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Which cookies and services are used on this website can be found in this privacy policy.

Enquiries by email, telephone, or fax

If you contact us by email, telephone, or fax, your enquiry, including all resulting personal data (name, enquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, provided that your inquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR) if this has been requested; consent can be revoked at any time.

The data you send us via contact requests will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions—in particular statutory retention periods—remain unaffected.
