Personal data (hereinafter generally referred to as “data”) is processed by us only to the extent necessary and for the purpose of providing a functional and user-friendly website, including its content and the services offered therein.

Pursuant to Article 4(1) of Regulation (EU) 2016/679, i.e. the General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter referred to as the “GDPR”), “processing” means any operation or set of operations performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

With the following Privacy Policy, we inform you in particular about the nature, scope, purpose, duration and legal basis of the processing of personal data, insofar as we, either alone or jointly with others, determine the purposes and means of such processing. In addition, we provide information below about third-party components used by us for optimisation purposes and to improve the quality of use, insofar as such components result in third parties processing data under their own responsibility.

Our Privacy Policy is structured as follows:

I. Information about Us as the Data Controller
II. Rights of Users and Data Subjects

II. Rights of Users and Data Subjects

With regard to the data processing described in more detail below, users and data subjects have the right

  • auf Bestätigung, ob sie betreffende Daten verarbeitet werden, auf Auskunft über die verarbeiteten Daten, auf weitere Informationen über die Datenverarbeitung sowie auf Kopien der Daten (vgl. auch Art. 15 DSGVO);
  • to the rectification or completion of inaccurate or incomplete data (see also Art. 16 GDPR);
  • to the immediate erasure of data concerning them (see also Art. 17 GDPR), or, alternatively, where further processing is required pursuant to Art. 17(3) GDPR, to restriction of processing in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR;
  • to receive the data concerning them that they have provided and to have such data transmitted to other service providers/controllers (see also Art. 20 GDPR);
  • to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority if they believe that the data concerning them is being processed by the provider in violation of data protection regulations (see also Art. 77 GDPR).

Furthermore, the provider is obliged to inform all recipients to whom data has been disclosed by the provider of any rectification or erasure of data or restriction of processing carried out pursuant to Articles 16, 17(1) and 18 GDPR. However, this obligation does not apply where such notification proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the user has the right to obtain information about these recipients.

In accordance with Art. 21 GDPR, users and data subjects also have the right to object to the future processing of data concerning them where such data is processed by the provider pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. In particular, they have the right to object to the processing of data for direct marketing purposes.

Data processed when you use our website will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for which it was stored no longer applies, provided that there are no statutory retention obligations preventing its deletion and unless otherwise stated below with regard to individual processing activities.

Cookies

a) Session Cookies

We use so-called cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files or other storage technologies that are placed and stored on your device by the internet browser you use. These cookies process certain information about you to varying degrees, such as your browser or location data or your IP address.

This processing makes our website more user-friendly, effective and secure, as it enables, for example, our website to be displayed in different languages or a shopping cart function to be provided.

The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, insofar as these cookies process data for the purpose of initiating or performing a contract.

If the processing does not serve the purpose of initiating or performing a contract, our legitimate interest lies in improving the functionality of our website. In this case, the legal basis is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

These session cookies are deleted when you close your internet browser.

Our website may also use cookies from partner companies with whom we cooperate for the purposes of advertising, analysis or providing certain functionalities of our website.

You can prevent or restrict the installation of cookies by changing the settings of your internet browser. You can also delete cookies that have already been stored at any time. However, the steps and measures required to do so depend on the specific internet browser you use. If you have any questions, please use the help function or documentation of your internet browser or contact the browser manufacturer or its support service.

In the case of so-called Flash cookies, however, processing cannot be prevented via your browser settings. Instead, you must change the settings of your Flash Player. The steps and measures required to do so also depend on the specific Flash Player you use. If you have any questions, please use the help function or documentation of your Flash Player or contact the manufacturer or user support service.

Please note that preventing or restricting the installation of cookies may result in some functions of our website not being fully available.
