Withdrawal of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may revoke any consent given at any time. All you need to do is send an informal message to us by email. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
Right to object to processing of personal data on grounds relating to the data subject’s particular situation and to data processing for direct marketing purposes (Art. 21 GDPR)
Where data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(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 those provisions. The respective legal basis on which a processing is based can be found in this data privacy statement. If you file an objection, we will no longer process your personal data concerned 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 defence of legal claims (objection according to Art. 21(1) GDPR).

The right to lodge a complaint shall be without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to data portability
You have the right to have data which we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract provided to you or transmitted to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transmission of the data to another data controller, this will only be done where technically feasible.
SSL or TLS encryption
This website uses SSL or TLS encryption for security purposes and to protect the transmission of confidential contents, such as purchase orders or inquiries that you send to us as the website operator. You will recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.
If SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Information, blocking, erasure and rectification
Within the scope of applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time and at no charge to obtain information about the personal data we have stored on you, their origin and by whom they have been received and the purpose of processing; you also have the right to have these data rectified, blocked or erased at any time. You may contact us at any time at the address given in the imprint for this and other questions on the subject of personal data.
Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to obtain restriction of the processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time at the address given in the imprint. 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 demand that we restrict the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data has been unlawful, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you require them to establish, exercise or defend legal claims, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
If you have objected to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a weighing of your and our interests must take place, and pending the verification whether our legitimate grounds override your legitimate grounds, you have the right to demand that the processing of your personal data be restricted.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data may – with the exception of storage – only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.
3. Data collected on our website
Inquiry by e-mail, telephone or fax.
If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, your request including all personal data (name, request) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We do not pass on this data without your consent.
Such data are processed on the basis of Art. 6(1) lit. b GDPR if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on your consent (Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR) and/or on grounds of our legitimate interests (Art. 6(1) lit. f GDPR), as we have a legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries addressed to us.
We will keep the data sent to us by you via contact requests until you request erasure, 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 – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.
4. Social media
Facebook plugins (like & share buttons)
Our pages contain plugins of the social network Facebook, provider Facebook Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, California 94025, USA. You can recognize the Facebook plugins by the Facebook logo or the “like” button on our page. You can find an overview of the Facebook plugins here: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=en_en
When you visit our pages, the plugin establishes a direct connection between your browser and the Facebook server. Facebook receives the information that you have visited our site with your IP address. If you click the Facebook “like” button while logged on to your Facebook account, you can link the content of our pages to your Facebook profile. This allows Facebook to associate your visit of our pages with your user account. We would like to point out that, as the provider of the pages, we do not have any knowledge of the content of the data transmitted or its use by Facebook. Further information on this can be found in Facebook’s privacy statement at: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/explanation.

The Facebook plugins are used on the basis of Art. 6(1) lit. f GDPR. The website operator has legitimate interests in the widest possible visibility in the social media.
5. Analysis tools and marketing
Google Analytics
This website uses functions provided by the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Analytics uses so-called “Cookies”. These are text files that are stored on your computer and enable an analysis of the way you use the website. The information created by the cookie about your use of the website is usually sent to and stored on a Google server in the USA.
The storage of Google Analytics cookies and the use of this analysis tool are based on Art. 6(1) lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analysing user behaviour in order to optimise both its web services and its marketing.
IP anonymisation
We have enabled the IP anonymisation function on this website. This will cause Google to truncate your IP address in Member States of the European Union or in other state parties to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before it is transmitted to the United States. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google Server in the US and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate the way you use the website, to collate reports on website activities and in order to provide other services relating to website activity and internet use to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics is not combined with other data held by Google.
Browser plug-in
You can change your browser settings to prevent cookies from being stored, however please note that may mean that you are then unable to make full use the functions on this website. You can also prevent the data (including your IP address), which are captured by the cookie and related to your use of the website, sent to or processed by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

Processing of data on our behalf
We have concluded a contract with Google for the processing of data on our behalf; we fully implement the stringent requirements of the German data protection authorities for the use of Google Analytics.

Google Maps (with consent)
This page uses the Google Maps map service via an API. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
To ensure the privacy of our website, Google Maps is disabled the first time you visit our website. A direct connection to Google’s servers will only be established if you enable Google Maps yourself (consent according to Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR). This prevents your data from being sent to Google the first time you access the site.
Upon enabling Google Maps, your IP address will be stored. This IP address is then usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. After enabling Google Maps, the provider of this page has no influence on this data transmission.
More information about the handling of user data can be found in Google’s privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.
