Storage period

Unless a more specific storage period has been specified in 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 revoke 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); in the latter case, deletion will occur once these reasons no longer apply.

General information on the legal basis for data processing on this website

If you have consented to data processing, we will process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR or Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR if special categories of data are processed pursuant to Art. 9 (1) GDPR. In the event of express consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing will also be carried out on the basis of Art. 49 (1) (a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to access information on your device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), data processing will also be carried out on the basis of Section 25 (1) TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required to fulfil the contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures, we will process your data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. Furthermore, if your data is required to fulfil a legal obligation, we will process it 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 relevant legal bases in each individual case are explained in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.

Recipients of personal data

As part of our business activities, we work with various external parties. In some cases, this also requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only pass on personal data to external parties if this is necessary to fulfill a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g., passing on data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the transfer pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the data transfer. When using contract processors, we only pass on our customers' personal data on the basis of a valid contract for order processing. In the case of joint processing, a contract for joint processing is concluded.

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke your consent at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out up to the time of revocation remains unaffected.

Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct marketing (Article 21 GDPR)

If data processing is based on Article 6 (1) (e) or (f) of the GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons related to your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy policy. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN PROVE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR THE PROCESSING SERVES TO ASSERT, EXERCISE OR DEFEND LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 (1) GDPR).

If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing purposes; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently 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 place of the alleged violation. This right of complaint is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

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

Information, correction and deletion

Within the scope of applicable law, you have the right at any time to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient, and the purpose of data processing, as well as the right to have this data corrected or deleted. You can contact us at any time with any questions about this or other issues relating to personal data.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time to do so. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

• If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need time to verify this. You have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted while we verify 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 require it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted instead of deleted.
• If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, your interests must be weighed against ours. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data may – with the exception of its storage – only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

This data will not be merged with other data sources.

This data is collected on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of its website – for this purpose, the server log files must be collected.

Contact form

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

To do this, reCAPTCHA analyzes the behavior of the website visitor based on various characteristics. This analysis begins automatically as soon as the website visitor enters the website. For the analysis, reCAPTCHA evaluates various information (e.g., IP address, length of time the website visitor spends on the website, or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google.

The reCAPTCHA analysis runs entirely in the background. Website visitors are not notified that an analysis is taking place.

The data is stored and analyzed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its website from abusive automated spying and spam. If consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and Section 25 (1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

For more information about Google reCAPTCHA, please see the Google Privacy Policy and the Google Terms of Service at the following links: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de and https://policies.google.com/terms?hl=de.

The company is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). The DPF is an agreement between the European Union and the United States designed to ensure compliance with European data protection standards when processing data in the United States. Every company certified under the DPF is committed to adhering to these data protection standards. Further information is available from the provider at the following link: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/participant/5780.

When you contact us via contact form, fax, post or email, your information will be processed for the purpose of processing your contact request.
The legal basis for processing the data, provided you have given your consent, is Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. The legal basis for processing data transmitted in the course of a contact request or email, letter or fax is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The controller has a legitimate interest in processing and storing the data in order to be able to answer user inquiries, to preserve evidence for liability reasons and, if necessary, to comply with its statutory retention periods for business letters. If the aim of the contact is to conclude a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.
We may store your information and contact request in our customer relationship management system (“CRM system”) or a similar system.
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. For personal data from the contact form input mask and that sent by email, this is the case when the respective conversation with you has ended. The conversation is ended when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified. We store inquiries from users who have an account or contract with us for a period of two years after the contract has ended. In the case of statutory archiving obligations, deletion occurs after these expiration: end of the retention period under commercial law (6 years) and tax law (10 years).
You have the right to revoke your consent to the processing of your personal data at any time, in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. If you contact us by email, you can withdraw your consent to the storage of your personal data at any time.
Google Adsense

We have integrated advertisements from the Google service "Adsense" (Google Ireland Limited, registration number: 368047, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) on our website. These advertisements are identified by the (i) "Google Ads" notice in each ad. We have enabled personalized ads to show you more interesting advertising that supports the commercial use of our website, increases its value for us, and improves your user experience. With personalized advertising, we can reach users via Adsense based on their interests and demographic characteristics (e.g., "sports enthusiasts").
For these purposes, Google receives the information that you have accessed our website when you visit our website. To do so, Google places a web beacon or cookie on your computer. The full extent of the data processing and the storage period are unknown to us. The data is also transferred to the USA and analyzed there. If you are logged in with a Google account, AdSense can assign the data to your account. If you do not want this to happen, you must log out before visiting our website.

• Cookies in your browser and settings in your Google Account;
• Websites and apps you have visited;
• Your activities on other devices;
• previous interactions with Google ads or advertising services;
• Your Google Account activity and information.

When you click on an Adsense ad, the user's IP address is processed by Google (usage data). This processing is pseudonymized (so-called "advertising ID") by shortening the IP address by the last two digits.
When it comes to personalized advertising, Google does not link identifiers from cookies or similar technologies to special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9 GDPR, such as ethnic origin, religion, sexual orientation or health.
It cannot be ruled out that the above data may be shared with third parties, government agencies, or Google partners. This website also has enabled third-party Google AdSense ads.

We have also activated cross-device analysis of website visitors, which is carried out using a so-called user ID. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. The use of Google Analytics serves the purpose of analyzing, optimizing and improving our website.
The legal basis for this is our legitimate interest in data processing pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, which also lies in the above purposes.
The data we send and linked to cookies, user identifiers (e.g., user ID), or advertising IDs is automatically deleted after 14 months. Data whose retention period has been reached is automatically deleted once a month.
Further information on data usage by Google Analytics can be found here: https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html (Analytics Terms of Use), https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de (Information on data protection by Analytics) and Google's privacy policy https://policies.google.com/privacy.

However, this may limit the functionality of our offerings. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website, as well as from processing this data, by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de
As an alternative to the browser plug-in above, you can prevent Google Analytics from collecting data by clicking [__please__insert your website's Analytics opt-out link here]. Clicking this link will set an opt-out cookie that prevents your data from being collected when you visit this website in the future.
