Storage duration
Unless a more specific storage period has been specified in this privacy policy,

legitimate request for erasure or withdraw your consent to data processing,
your data will be erased unless we have other legally permissible grounds for storing your

General information on the legal basis for data processing on this
website
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on
the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR, provided that special categories of data
are processed in accordance with Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR. In the event of express consent to the transfer
of personal data to third countries, data processing is also carried out on the basis of Art.
49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information in
your end device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), the data processing is also carried out

paragraphs of this privacy policy.
Note on the transfer of data to third countries that are not secure under data protection law and
the transfer to US companies that are not DPF-certified
Among other things, we use tools from companies based in third countries that are not secure under data protection law
and US tools whose providers are not certified in accordance with the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF)
. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these countries
and processed there. We would like to point out that a level of data protection comparable to that in the EU cannot be guaranteed in third countries that are unsafe in terms of data protection law
.
We would like to point out that the USA, as a safe third country, generally has a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU
. Data transfer to the USA is therefore permitted if the recipient
is certified under the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (DPF) or has suitable
additional guarantees. Information on transfers to third countries, including the
data recipients, can be found in this privacy policy.
Recipients of personal data
As part of our business activities, we work together with various external parties. This
sometimes requires the transfer of personal data to these external bodies.
We only pass on personal data to external bodies if this is necessary in the context of
contract fulfillment, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. passing on data
to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the transfer in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR or if another legal basis permits the transfer of data
. When using
processors, we only pass on our customers’ personal data on the basis of a valid
contract for order processing. In the case of joint processing, a contract on
joint processing is concluded.
Revocation of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may withdraw your consent to
at any time. The lawfulness of
data processing carried out prior to revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to object to the collection of data in special cases and to
direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
IF THE DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6 ABS. 1 LIT. E OR F GDPR
, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION AT

WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA CONCERNED,
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 DEFENSE OF
LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 PARA. 1 GDPR).
IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA ARE PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU
FOR SUCH MARKETING

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 the right to lodge a complaint with a
supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work
or place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other
administrative or judicial remedy.
Right to data portability
You have the right to have data which 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

Information, correction and deletion
Within the scope of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right to obtain information free of charge at any time from
about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the
purpose of the data processing and, if applicable, a right to rectification or erasure of this data. You can contact us at any time at
if you have any further questions on the subject of personal data.
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
generally need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request
restriction of the processing of your personal data.
- If the processing of your personal data was/is carried out unlawfully, you can request
the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
- If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise,
defense or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of the
deletion.
- If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between
your interests and ours. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests
outweigh yours, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data

their 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.

This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR if your request is related to
the performance 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 the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your
consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this has been requested; the consent can be revoked at any time
.
We will retain the data you provide on the contact form until you request its deletion

The provider of this site has no influence on this data transfer. If Google Maps is activated,
