Notice on Data Transfer to Privacy-Insecure Third Countries and Transfer to Non-DPF Certified US Companies
We use tools from companies located in privacy-insecure third countries, as well as US-based tools whose providers are not certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these countries. We would like to emphasize that privacy-insecure third countries do not guarantee a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU. It should be noted that the USA, as a generally safe third country, exhibits a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU. Data transfer to the USA is permissible if the recipient possesses certification under the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (DPF) or has suitable additional safeguards. Information on transfers to third countries, including data recipients, can be found in this privacy policy.
Recipients of Personal Data
In the scope of our business activities, we collaborate with various external entities. In some cases, the transfer of personal data to these external entities is necessary. We only share personal data with external entities if it is required for the fulfillment of a contract, if we are legally obligated to do so (e.g., sharing data with tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest under Article 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR in sharing the data, or if another legal basis allows for data transfer. When using data processors, we only share personal data of our customers based on a valid contract for data processing. In the case of joint processing, a contract for joint processing is established.
Withdrawal of Consent for Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke consent that has been previously granted at any time. The legality of data processing carried out until revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR RELEVANT PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR IF THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 21(1) OF THE GDPR). IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR RELEVANT PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH ADVERTISING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING.

Right to Restriction of Processing
You have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing exists 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 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 for the exercise, defense, or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
If you have objected pursuant to Article 21 (1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, aside from storage, such data may 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 important public interest of the European Union or a member state.

Persistent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or automatic deletion occurs through your web browser. Cookies can be set by us (first-party cookies) or by third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services from third-party companies within websites (e.g., cookies for payment services). Cookies serve various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies may be used to analyze user behavior or for advertising purposes. Cookies that are necessary for the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions you request (e.g., the shopping cart function), or for website optimization (e.g., cookies for measuring web audience) are stored based on Article 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent has been requested for the storage of cookies and similar tracking technologies, processing is carried out exclusively based on this consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and § 25(1) of the Federal Data Protection Act [TTDSG]); consent can be revoked at any time. You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set and to allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, to accept cookies for specific cases, or to block cookies altogether, as well as to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when the browser is closed. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website. You can find information about the cookies and services used on this website in this privacy policy.

We will not share this data without your consent. Processing of this data is based on Article 6 (1) (b) of the GDPR if your inquiry is related to the fulfillment 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 effectively processing inquiries directed to us (Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR) or on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR), if requested; consent can be revoked at any time. The data sent to us via contact inquiries will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for its storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed).
