The responsible party is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, email addresses, etc.).

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time. An informal email notification to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing carried out until the withdrawal remains unaffected.

Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)
If data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right at any time to object to the processing of your personal data for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis for processing 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 that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense 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 your personal data for such advertising; this also applies to profiling insofar as 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 violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the member state of their habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged violation. This right exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability
You have the right to receive data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, in a commonly used, machine-readable format, either for yourself or for a third party. If you request the direct transfer of data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.

SSL or TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries you send to us as the website operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the browser address line changing from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock icon in your browser line.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Information, blocking, deletion, and correction
Within the framework of 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 data processing, and, if applicable, a right to correction, blocking, or deletion of this data. For this purpose and for further questions regarding personal data, you can contact us at any time using the address provided in the legal notice.

Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. To do so, you can contact us at any time at the address provided in the legal notice. 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. During the verification period, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.
  • If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request restriction of processing instead of deletion.
  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the establishment, defense, or enforcement of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing instead of deletion.
  • If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balancing of interests must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data – apart from its storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense 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.
