If you request the direct transfer of data to another responsible party, this will only be done as far as it is technically feasible.

SSL or TLS Encryption

This site uses 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 site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the address line of the browser changing from „http://“ to „https://“ and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

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

• If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data.
• If the processing of your personal data was unlawful, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
• If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data instead of deletion.
• If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of interests must be carried out between your and our interests. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data may – apart from their storage – only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of significant public interest of the European Union or a member state.

The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. As far as other cookies (e.g., cookies for analyzing your surfing behavior) are stored, these are treated separately in this privacy policy.

Server Log Files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files that your browser automatically transmits to us. This includes:

• Browser type and browser version
• Operating system used

The processing of the data you enter in the contact form is carried out exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. A simple email to us is sufficient for this. The legality of the data processing operations carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
