Analysis Tool and Third-Party Tool
When you visit this website, your surfing behavior may be statistically evaluated. This is primarily done with so-called analysis programs. Detailed information about these analysis programs can be found in the following privacy policy.
4.1 Data Collection on This Website
Inquiry by Email, Telephone, Fax, or Contact Form
If you contact us by email, telephone, fax, or contact form, your inquiry, including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request.
We do not share this data without your consent. The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR if your request 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 the effective handling of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR) if this has been requested; consent can be revoked at any time.
The data you send to us via contact inquiries will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – especially statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.
4.2 Matomo
This website uses the open-source web analytics service Matomo.
With the help of Matomo, we are able to collect and analyze data about the use of our website by visitors. This allows us to determine, for example, when which page views occurred and from which region they originated.
We also collect various log files (e.g., IP address, referrer, used browsers and operating systems) and can measure whether our website visitors perform certain actions (e.g., clicks, purchases, etc.).
The use of this analysis tool is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize both its web offering and its advertising.
If appropriate consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG, insofar as consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user’s terminal device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.
IP Anonymization
When analyzing with Matomo, we use IP anonymization. This means your IP address is shortened before analysis so that it can no longer be clearly assigned to you.
Hosting
We host Matomo exclusively on our own servers, so all analysis data remains with us and is not passed on.
4.3 Cookies
Our websites use so-called “cookies.” Cookies are small data packets that do not cause any damage to your device. 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 your web browser automatically deletes them.
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 processing payment services).
Cookies have 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 required for the electronic communication process, for providing certain functions you desire (e.g., for the shopping cart function), or for optimizing the website (e.g., cookies for measuring web audience) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. 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.
If consent to the storage of cookies and similar recognition technologies has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR and § 25 (1) TTDSG); consent can be revoked at any time.
You can configure your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, as well as to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser.

5. Your Rights
What rights do you have regarding your data?
You have the right, at any time and free of charge, to obtain information (Art. 15 GDPR) about the origin, recipients, and purpose of your stored personal data.
You also have the right to request the rectification (Art. 16 GDPR) or erasure (Art. 17 GDPR) of this data.
If you have given consent to data processing, you may revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future (Art. 7(3) GDPR). Furthermore, you have the right, under certain circumstances, to request the restriction of the processing (Art. 18 GDPR) of your personal data. The lawfulness of the processing carried out up to the point of revocation remains unaffected.
Additionally, you have the right to object (Art. 21 GDPR) to the processing of your personal data if such processing is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR. Should you notice any processing that you believe is unlawful, please let us know. We will review your concern promptly and cease processing unless compelling legitimate grounds prevent this.
According to Art. 20 GDPR, you also have the right to receive personal data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. Upon request, and where technically feasible, we will also transmit this data directly to a third party designated by you.
Furthermore, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. For this and any further questions on the subject of data protection, you may contact us at any time.
General Information on the Legal Bases for Data Processing on This Website
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and, if special categories of data are processed, on the basis of Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR.
In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also based on Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR.
If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information in your device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), data processing is additionally based on § 25(1) TTDSG.
Consent may be revoked at any time. If your data is necessary for the performance of a contract or for pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.
Furthermore, we process your data if required to fulfill a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.
Data processing may also be based on our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The specific legal basis applicable in each individual case is explained in the relevant sections of this privacy policy.
Notice on Data Transfers to Non-Secure Third Countries and to US Companies Not Certified under the DPF
We use, among other things, tools from companies based in countries that are not considered secure under data protection law, as well as US tools whose providers are not certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF).
If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these countries. Please note that in non-secure third countries, a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU cannot be guaranteed. Please note that the USA is generally considered a secure third country, offering a level of data protection comparable to the EU.
A data transfer to the USA is permissible if the recipient is certified under the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (DPF) or has suitable additional safeguards in place.
For information on transfers to third countries, including the recipients of data, please refer to this privacy policy.
Recipients of Personal Data
As part of our business activities, we work with various external parties. This may also require the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only transfer personal data to external parties if it is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g., transfer of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR in the transfer, or if another legal basis permits the data transfer.
When using processors, we only transfer personal data of our customers on the basis of a valid data 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 explicit consent. You may revoke any consent already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out up to the point of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
If data processing is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right, at any time and for reasons arising from your particular situation, to object to the processing of your personal data. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
The specific legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy policy.
If you object, we will no longer process your affected personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing is for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR).
If your personal data are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR).
Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority
In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to Data Portability
You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, either to yourself or to a third party, in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done where technically feasible.
Right to Access, Rectification and Erasure
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, recipients, and the purpose of the data processing and, if applicable, a right to rectification or erasure of this data. For this and any other questions regarding personal data, you may 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. You may contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by 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 may request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
If you have objected pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not yet been determined 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, such data – apart from its storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, 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.
6. Storage Duration
Unless a more specific storage period has been specified within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or withdraw your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., retention periods under tax or commercial law of up to 10 years); in the latter case, deletion will occur after these reasons no longer apply.
Newsletter data will be stored until you unsubscribe.
Contact form data will be deleted after processing, at the latest after 12 months.
