Information on Data Transfer to Third Countries That Are Not Secure Under Data Protection Law and Transfer to US Companies That Are Not DPF-Certified

We use, among other things, tools from companies based in third countries that are not secure under data protection law,
as well as US tools whose providers are not certified according to the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF).
When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these countries and processed there.
We point out that in third countries that are not secure under data protection law,
no level of data protection comparable to that of the EU can be guaranteed.

We point out that the USA as a secure third country generally has a level of data protection comparable to the EU.
Data transfer to the USA is permissible if the recipient has certification under the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (DPF)
or has suitable additional guarantees. Information on transfers to third countries, including the recipients of the data,
can be found in this privacy policy.

Recipients of Personal Data

In the course of our business activities, we work with various external bodies.
In some cases, the transfer of personal data to these external bodies is also necessary.
We only pass on personal data to external bodies if this is necessary within the framework of contract performance,
if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g., passing on data to tax authorities),
if we have a legitimate interest according to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR in passing it on,
or if another legal basis allows the data transfer.
When using processors, we only pass on personal data of our customers on the basis of a valid contract for data processing.
In the case of joint processing, a contract for joint processing is concluded.

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent.
You can revoke consent already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON 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 ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR CONCERNED PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN PROVE COMPELLING REASONS FOR THE PROCESSING WORTHY OF PROTECTION WHICH OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ASSERTION, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 (1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA ARE PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH ADVERTISING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS CONNECTED WITH 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 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 violation.
The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract
handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format.
Insofar as you demand the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this is only done if it is technically feasible.

Information, Correction, and Deletion

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information
about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient, and the purpose of the data processing and, if applicable,
a right to correction or deletion of this data. For this purpose, as well as for further questions on the subject of personal data,
you can contact us at any time.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
For this purpose, you can contact us at any time. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to check this. For the duration of the check, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data happened/is happening unlawfully, you can demand the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
If you have lodged an objection according to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

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

SSL or TLS Encryption

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

will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We do not pass on these data without your consent.

The processing of these data takes place on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, insofar as your inquiry is connected with the fulfillment of a contract
or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest
in the effective processing of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR) if this was requested;
consent can be revoked at any time.

The data you send to us via contact inquiries will remain with us until you request us to delete it,
revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after processing of your request has been completed).
Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.
