If you assert a justified request for deletion or withdraw your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted, provided we have no other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the data will be deleted after these reasons no longer apply.
General Information on the Legal Bases of Data Processing on This Website
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR and Art. 9 (2) lit. a GDPR, where special categories of data under Art. 9 (1) GDPR are processed. In the event of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, processing is also based on Art. 49 (1) lit. a GDPR.
If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to access to information on your device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), data processing is additionally based on § 25 (1) TDDDG. Consent can be withdrawn at any time.
If your data is required for the performance of a contract or for pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR.
Furthermore, we process your data if this is required to fulfil a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR. Data processing may also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest under Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. The relevant legal basis in each individual case is explained in the following paragraphs of this Privacy Policy.
Recipients of Personal Data
In the course of our business activities, we work with various external parties. In some cases, this also requires the transmission of personal data to these third parties. We only transfer personal data to external parties if this is necessary for the performance of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. transfer of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the transfer pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the transfer of data.
Where processors are used, we only transfer personal data of our customers on the basis of a valid Data Processing Agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.
Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may withdraw consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out up to the time of withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.
Right to Object to Data Processing in Special Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6 (1) LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT, AT ANY TIME AND ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RELEVANT LEGAL BASIS FOR EACH PROCESSING OPERATION CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA, 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 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; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO 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 infringements of the GDPR, data subjects have a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, their place of work or the place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to Data Portability
You have the right to receive data which we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in performance of a contract, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and to transmit those data to yourself or to a third party. Where you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done where technically feasible.
Access, Rectification and Erasure
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right, at any time, to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of the data processing, as well as, where applicable, a right to rectification or erasure of this data. For this and for any other questions on the topic of personal data, you can contact us at any time.
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 for this purpose. 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 request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of its erasure.
If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balancing of your interests and ours must take place. 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.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data may – apart from its 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 important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

Newsletter Data
If you wish to subscribe to the newsletter offered on the website, we require an email address from you and information which allows us to verify that you are the owner of the specified email address and agree to receive the newsletter. Further data, if any, is collected only on a voluntary basis. We use newsletter service providers described below to handle the newsletter.
CleverReach
This website uses CleverReach for sending newsletters. The provider is CleverReach GmbH & Co. KG, Schafjückenweg 2, 26180 Rastede, Germany (“CleverReach”).

Our newsletters sent with CleverReach enable us to analyse the behaviour of newsletter recipients. Among other things, it can be analysed how many recipients have opened the newsletter message and how often which link in the newsletter was clicked. With the help of so-called conversion tracking, it can also be analysed whether a predefined action (e.g. purchase of a product on this website) took place after clicking the link in the newsletter. Further information on data analysis by CleverReach newsletters can be found at:

Data processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR). You can withdraw this consent at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. The lawfulness of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the withdrawal.
If you do not want analysis by CleverReach, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. For this purpose, we provide a corresponding link in every newsletter message.
The data you provide for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list after unsubscribing. Data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected.
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 is both in your interest and in our interest in complying with legal requirements for newsletter sending (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR). Storage in the blacklist is not time-limited. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.
