Thank you for visiting our website. The protection and security of your personal information when using our website is very important to us. We would therefore like to take this opportunity to inform you about which personal data we collect when you visit our website and for what purposes it is used.

What is the issue?

This privacy policy meets the legal requirements for transparency in the processing of personal data. This is all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. It includes, for example, information such as your name, age, address, telephone number, date of birth, e-mail address, IP address or user behaviour when visiting a website. Information with which we cannot (or only with a disproportionate effort) establish a connection to your person, e.g. owing to anonymisation, is not personal data. The processing of personal data (e.g. the collection, retrieval, use, storage or transmission) always requires a legal basis and a defined purpose.

Stored personal data will be deleted as soon as the purpose of the processing has been achieved and there are no legitimate reasons for further storage of the data. We will inform you during the individual processing operations about the concrete storage periods or criteria for storage. Irrespective of this, we will store your personal data in individual cases for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims and in the event of statutory storage obligations.

Who receives my data?

We only pass on your personal data processed on our website to third parties if this is necessary for the fulfilment of the purposes and, in individual cases, if this is covered by the legal basis (e.g. consent or protection of legitimate interests). In addition, in individual cases, we will pass on personal data to third parties if this serves the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims. Possible recipients may then be, for example, law enforcement agencies, lawyers, auditors, courts, etc.

Insofar as we use service providers for the operation of our website who process personal data in accordance with article 28 GDPR within the scope of order processing on our behalf, these service providers may be recipients of your personal data. For more information on the use of order processors and Web services, see the overview of the individual processing operations.

Do you use cookies?

Cookies are small text files which are sent by us to the browser of your end device and stored there during your visit to our websites. Alternatively to the use of cookies, information can also be stored in the local storage of your browser. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies or local storage (technically necessary cookies). Other cookies enable us to carry out various analyses, so that we are able, for example, to recognise the browser you are using when you return to our website and to transmit various information to us (not necessary cookies). Cookies help us to make our website more user-friendly and effective for you, for example by tracking your use of our website and determining your preferred settings (e.g. country and language settings). If third parties process information via cookies, they collect the information directly via your browser. Cookies do not cause any damage to your end device. They cannot run programmes or contain viruses.

We provide information about the respective services for which we use cookies in the individual processing procedures. You can find detailed information about the cookies used in the Consent Manager.

What rights do I have?

Under the conditions of the statutory provisions of the General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR) and the Federal Data Protection Act (German: BDSG), you have the following rights as a person affected:

  • Information in accordance with article 15 GDPR, § 34 BDSG on the data stored about you in the form of meaningful information regarding the details of the processing as well as a copy of your data;
  • Correction in accordance with article 16 GDPR of incorrect or incomplete data stored by us;
  • Deletion in accordance with article 17 GDPR of the data stored with us, insofar as the processing is not necessary for the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information, for the fulfilment of a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest or for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims;
  • Restriction of processing in accordance with article 18 GDPR if the accuracy of the data is disputed, the processing is unlawful, we no longer require the data and you refuse its deletion because you need it to assert, exercise or defend legal claims or you have objected to the processing in accordance with article 21 GDPR.
  • Data transferability in accordance with article 20 GDPR, insofar as you have provided us with personal data within the scope of a consent in accordance with article 6 para. 1 letter a GDPR or on the basis of a contract in accordance with article 6 para. 1 letter b GDPR and these have been processed by us using automated procedures. You will receive your data in a structured, common and machine-readable format or we will transfer the data directly to another responsible person, as far as this is technically feasible.
  • Objection in accordance with article 21 GDPR to the processing of your personal data, insofar as this takes place on the basis of article 6 para. 1 letters e, f GDPR and there are reasons for this which arise from your particular situation or the objection is directed against direct advertising. The right of objection does not exist if predominant, compelling reasons for processing worthy of protection are proven or the processing is carried out for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims. Where the right of objection does not apply to individual processing operations, this is indicated there.
  • Revocation according to article 7 para. 3 GDPR of your given consent with effect for the future.
  • Complain pursuant to article 77 GDPR to a supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of your personal data violates the GDPR. As a rule, you can contact the supervisory authority of your usual place of residence, your place of work or our company headquarters.
