Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive the data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, in a commonly used, machine-readable format, and to have it transmitted to yourself or to a third party.

  • 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 to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
  • If you have lodged an objection 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.

Persistent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them or your web browser automatically deletes them.

Cookies can be either first-party cookies, which are set by us, or third-party cookies, which are set by third-party companies. Third-party cookies allow the integration of certain services provided by 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 displaying videos). Other cookies may be used to analyze user behavior or for advertising purposes.

Cookies that are necessary for carrying out the electronic communication process, providing certain functions you have requested (e.g., for the shopping cart function), or optimizing the website (e.g., cookies for measuring web audience) are stored based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies to ensure a technically error-free and optimized provision of its services.

You can configure your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser.

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your information from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We will not disclose this data without your consent.

The data you entered in the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data ceases to apply (e.g., after your inquiry has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – especially retention periods – remain unaffected.

Inquiry by Email, Phone, or Fax

If you contact us by email, phone, or fax, your inquiry, including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your concern. We will not disclose this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, provided that your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures.

5. Newsletter

Newsletter Data

If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require your email address as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the provided email address and agree to receive the newsletter. No further data is collected, or only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

The processing of the data entered into the newsletter sign-up form is based solely on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can revoke your consent to the storage of the data, the email address, and its use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example, through the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by the revocation.

The data you provide to us for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter, at which point it will be removed from the newsletter distribution list. We reserve the right to delete or block email addresses from our newsletter distribution list at our discretion within the scope of our legitimate interest according to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected by this.

After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored in a blacklist by us or the newsletter service provider if this is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and will not be merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with the legal requirements for sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). The storage in the blacklist is not time-limited. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.
