Maßgebliche Rechtsgrundlagen
Nach Maßgabe des Art. 13 DSGVO teilen wir Ihnen die Rechtsgrundlagen unserer Datenverarbeitungen mit.
Sofern die Rechtsgrundlage in der Datenschutzerklärung nicht genannt wird, gilt Folgendes:

Die Rechtsgrundlage für die Einholung von Einwilligungen ist Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a und Art. 7 DSGVO.
Die Rechtsgrundlage für die Verarbeitung zur Erfüllung unserer Leistungen und Durchführung vertraglicher Maßnahmen sowie Beantwortung von Anfragen ist Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. b DSGVO.
Die Rechtsgrundlage für die Verarbeitung zur Erfüllung unserer rechtlichen Verpflichtungen ist Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. c DSGVO.
Und die Rechtsgrundlage für die Verarbeitung zur Wahrung unserer berechtigten Interessen ist Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f DSGVO.
Für den Fall, dass lebenswichtige Interessen der betroffenen Person oder einer anderen natürlichen Person eine Verarbeitung personenbezogener Daten erforderlich machen, dient Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. d DSGVO als Rechtsgrundlage.

Terms used
"Personal data" means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter "data subject"). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier (e.g. cookie) or one or more specific characteristics that express the physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

"processing" means any operation or set of operations carried out (with or without the aid of automated processes) on personal data. The term is broad and covers practically every handling of data.

The "controller" is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.

Integration of third party services and content
We use third-party content or services within our online offering to incorporate their content and services, such as videos or fonts (collectively, "Content").
The basis for this is our legitimate interest (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our online services within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f.). DSGVO).

This integration always presupposes that the third-party providers of this content perceive the IP address of the user, since they would not be able to send the content to their browser without the IP address. The IP address is therefore required for the presentation of this content. We endeavour to use only those contents whose respective providers only use the IP address to deliver the contents.
Third party providers may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also known as "web beacons") for statistical or marketing purposes. Pixel tags" can be used to evaluate information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website. The pseudonymous information may also be stored in cookies on the user's device and may contain, among other things, technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, visit times and other information about the use of our online offering, as well as may be linked to such information from other sources.

Cooperation with contract processors and third parties
If we involve third parties in the performance of contracts, this personal data will only be provided to the extent that the transmission is necessary for the corresponding service.
Insofar as we disclose data to other persons and companies (contract processors or third parties) within the framework of our processing, transfer them to them or otherwise grant them access to the data, this shall only take place on the basis of legal permission (e.g. if a transfer of the data to third parties, such as payment service providers, pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b DSGVO, is necessary for the performance of the contract), if you have given your prior consent, if a legal obligation provides for this or on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g. when using agents, web hosts, etc.).

If we outsource certain parts of the data processing and commission third parties with the processing of data on the basis of a so-called "order processing contract", this is done on the basis of Art. 28 DSGVO.
This means that we try to contractually obligate our contract processors to use personal data only in accordance with the requirements of the data protection laws and to guarantee the protection of the rights of the person concerned.

Transfers to third countries
If we process data in a third country (i.e. outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA)) or if this is done in the context of the use of third-party services or the disclosure or transfer of data to third parties, this will only occur if it is done to fulfil our (pre)contractual obligations, on the basis of your consent, a legal obligation or on the basis of our legitimate interests.

Subject to legal or contractual permissions, we process or allow the data to be processed in a third country only if the special requirements of Art. 44 ff. of the German Data Protection Act are met. DSGVO. I.e. the processing takes place e.g. on the basis of special guarantees, like the officially recognized statement of a data protection level corresponding to the EU (e.g. for the USA by the "Privacy Shield") or the observance of officially recognized special contractual obligations (so-called "data protection").

Hosting
The hosting services used by us serve the provision of the following services: Infrastructure and platform services, computing capacity, storage space and database services, security services and technical maintenance services which we use for the purpose of operating this online service.

In doing so, we or our hosting provider process inventory data, contact data, content data, contract data, usage data, meta and communication data of customers, interested parties and visitors to our online service on the basis of our legitimate interests in the efficient and secure provision of this online service pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO in connection with Art. 28 DSGVO (conclusion of an order processing contract).

Access data
The website operator or page provider collects data on access to the website on the basis of our legitimate interest (see Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO) and stores this as "server log files" on the server of the website.
We automatically record both your interaction with us and data relating to your computer or mobile device.

When you access our website, data is automatically transferred from your browser to our web server.

The following data is logged in this way:
- Visited website
- Date and time at the time of access
- Amount of data sent in bytes
- Source of the link from which you accessed the page
- browser used
- used operating system
- IP address used

The server log files are stored for a maximum of 7 days and then deleted. The data is stored both for the purpose of recording user behaviour and for statistical purposes, as well as for security reasons, e.g. to clarify cases of misuse.

We reserve the right to subsequently check the log data if there is a justified suspicion of illegal use on the basis of concrete indications.
If data have to be deleted for reasons of proof, they are excluded from deletion until the incident has been finally clarified.

Usage data
If necessary, we collect and use so-called usage data from you. This is personal data that enables the use of our website and billing.

This data includes both the time criteria for your use of our website and the scope of use and your identification features.

We would like to point out that we are permitted to generate user profiles, i.e. compiled data on the progress of visits to our pages, for advertising purposes, for market research purposes and for the design of our Internet offering. These user profiles do not provide any information about your person and are not merged with any other data collected by us, so that personal identification cannot take place through the merging of different data.
You have the right to object to such use of your data at any time.

Range measurement & cookies
This website uses cookies for pseudonymised range measurement, which are transmitted either by our server or the server of third parties to the browser of the user.
Cookies are small files that are stored on your end device. Your browser accesses these files. The use of cookies increases the user-friendliness and security of this website.

If you do not want cookies to be stored on your end device for range measurement, you can object to the use of these files here:

- Cookie deactivation page of the network advertising initiative: http://optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1#!/
- Cookie deactivation page of the US website: http://optout.aboutads.info/?c=2#!/
- Cookie deactivation page of the European website: http://optout.networkadvertising.org/?c=1#!/

Common browsers also offer the option not to accept cookies.
If users do not wish cookies to be stored on their computer, they are asked to deactivate the corresponding option in the system settings of their browser. Stored cookies can also be deleted in the system settings of the browser.
Note: It is not guaranteed that you can access all functions of this website without restrictions if you make the appropriate settings.

Collection and processing of personal data
The use of our website is generally possible without providing personal data. Insofar as personal data (e.g. name, address or e-mail addresses) is collected on our pages, this is always done, as far as possible, on a voluntary basis in the form of voluntary data provision by the user.

For example, we process personal data from our contact form or our newsletter registration.
The processing is carried out in compliance with the applicable data protection regulations.

The website operator collects, uses and passes on your personal data only if this is permitted by law or if you consent to the collection of data. Personal data includes all information which serves to determine your person and which can be traced back to you - for example your name, e-mail address and telephone number.

You can also visit this website without providing any personal information. To improve our online services, however, we store (without personal reference) your access data to this website. This access data includes, for example, the file you requested or the name of your Internet provider. The anonymisation of the data does not allow conclusions to be drawn about you personally.
The background to this is our legitimate interest in fulfilling our contractually agreed services and optimising our online offering.

We would like to point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. communication by e-mail) can be subject to security gaps. An unrestricted, complete protection of the data against access by third parties is therefore not possible.

Dealing with contact data
If you contact us as a website operator through the contact options offered, your details will be stored so that they can be used to process and respond to your enquiry. These data will not be passed on to third parties without your consent.
This applies both to making contact via our contact form, as well as to e-mail messages, contacts by telephone or via social media.

The user data can also be stored in a customer relationship management system ("CRM system") or comparable inquiry organization.

Dealing with comments and contributions
If you leave a contribution or comment on our website, your IP address will be stored. This is done on the basis of our legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO and serves the security of us as a website operator: Because if your comment violates applicable law, we could be prosecuted if necessary, which is why we have an interest in the identity of the author of the comment or contribution.

Newsletter Subscription
The website operator offers you a newsletter in which he informs you about current events and offers.
If you would like to subscribe to the newsletter, you must provide a valid e-mail address.

If you subscribe to the newsletter, you agree to receive the newsletter and the described procedures.

Registration procedure: The registration to our newsletter takes place in a so-called Double-Opt-In procedure. This means that you will receive an e-mail after your registration in which you will be asked to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that nobody can register with external e-mail addresses.

Logging: The registrations to the newsletter are logged in order to be able to prove the registration process according to the legal requirements. This includes the storage of the registration and confirmation time as well as the IP address. The changes to your data stored by the shipping service provider are also logged.

Registration data: To subscribe to the newsletter, it is sufficient for you to enter your e-mail address. Optionally, we ask you to enter a name in the newsletter for the purpose of addressing you personally.

The dispatch of the newsletter and the associated performance measurement is based on the consent of the recipients according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a, Art. 7 DSGVO in conjunction with § 7 Para. 2 No. 3 UWG or on legal permission according to § 7 Para. 3 UWG.

The registration procedure is recorded on the basis of our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. Our interest is directed towards the use of a user-friendly and secure newsletter system that serves our business interests as well as the expectations of the users and furthermore allows us to provide evidence of consent.

Revocation and termination: You can revoke your consent to receive the newsletter at any time and thus cancel your newsletter subscription.
At the end of each newsletter you will find the link to unsubscribe. After your cancellation, your personal data will be deleted. Your consent to receive the newsletter expires at the same time.

However, we may store the deleted e-mail addresses for up to three years on the basis of our legitimate interests before deleting them in order to be able to prove that we have previously given our consent. The processing of this data is limited to the purpose of a possible defence against claims.

Newsletter - Measurement of success
The newsletters contain a so-called "web beacon", i.e. a file the size of a pixel, which is retrieved from our server when the newsletter is opened or, if we use a dispatch service provider, from its server. Within the scope of this retrieval, technical information such as information about the browser and your system, as well as your IP address and the time of the retrieval are first collected.

This information is used for the technical improvement of the services based on the technical data or for the analysis of the target groups and their reading behaviour based on their retrieval locations (which can be determined with the help of the IP address) or access times.

The statistical surveys also include determining whether the newsletters are opened, when they are opened and which links are clicked. For technical reasons, this information can be assigned to the individual newsletter recipients. It is, however, neither our endeavour nor, if used, the endeavour of the dispatch service provider to observe individual users.
The evaluations serve us much more to recognize the reading habits of our users and to adapt our contents to them or to send different contents according to the interests of our users.

Data protection information in the application process
From time to time we also offer jobs in our company on our website and the associated opportunity to apply for the relevant positions.
We process the applicant data only for the purpose and as part of the application process in accordance with legal requirements.
The processing of the applicant data takes place in order to fulfil our (pre)contractual obligations within the scope of the application procedure within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 letter b. DSGVO Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO, insofar as data processing becomes necessary for us, e.g. within the framework of legal proceedings (in Germany, § 26 BDSG also applies).

The application procedure requires that applicants provide us with the applicant data.
If we offer an online form, the necessary applicant data are identified and otherwise result from the job descriptions. The personal details, postal and contact addresses and the documents associated with the application, such as cover letter, curriculum vitae and certificates, are generally required.
In addition, applicants may voluntarily provide us with additional information.

By submitting their application to us, applicants consent to the processing of their data for the purposes of the application procedure in accordance with the type and scope set out in this data protection declaration.

If special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 Para. 1 DSGVO are voluntarily provided as part of the application process, they will also be processed in accordance with Art. 9 Para. 2 lit. b DSGVO (e.g. health data, such as severely disabled status or ethnic origin).
Insofar as special categories of personal data within the meaning of Art. 9 para. 1 DSGVO are requested from applicants as part of the application procedure, their processing will also be carried out in accordance with Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a DSGVO (e.g. health data if they are required for the exercise of a profession).

If made available, applicants can submit their applications via an online form on our website. The data will be transmitted to us encrypted according to the state of the art.
Applicants can also send us their applications by e-mail. Please note, however, that e-mails are generally not sent in encrypted form and the applicants themselves must ensure that they are encrypted. We therefore cannot assume any responsibility for the transmission path of the application between the sender and the reception on our server and therefore recommend using an online form or postal dispatch.
Instead of applying via the online form and e-mail, applicants will of course still be able to send their application by post.

In the event of a successful application, the data provided by the applicants may be used by us for the purposes of the employment relationship.

In the event of a successful application, the data provided by the applicants may be further processed by us for the purposes of the employment relationship.
Otherwise, if the application for a job offer is not successful, the applicant's data will be deleted. Excluded from this deletion are applicants who have given their consent to be included in our "Talent Pool" (see below).
Applicant data will also be deleted if an application is withdrawn, to which applicants are entitled at all times.

Subject to justified revocation by the applicants, the data will be deleted after a period of six months so that we can answer any follow-up questions regarding the application and meet our obligations to provide evidence under the Equal Treatment Act. Invoices for any reimbursement of travel expenses will be archived in accordance with the provisions of tax law.

Youtube
We integrate the videos of the platform "YouTube" of the provider YouTube LLC, (901 Cherry Avenue, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA), represented by Google LLC, (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA).

Instagram
The functions and contents of the Instagram service can be integrated within our online offering. These are offered by Instagram LLC, (1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA, 94025, USA), (short "Instagram").

The integrated functions can include content such as images, videos or text and buttons that users can use to express their liking for the content in question, or to subscribe to the author of the content or our contributions.

If the users are members of the Instagram platform, Instagram can assign the call of the above-mentioned contents and functions to the profiles of the users there.

Instagram Privacy Policy: http://instagram.com/about/legal/privacy/

Use of social media plug-ins from Facebook
On this website we use the Facebook Social Plugin, which is operated by Facebook Inc. (1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA), or if you are resident in the EU, by Facebook Ireland Ltd. (4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland), (short "Facebook").

The basis for its use is our legitimate interest in the analysis, optimisation and operation of our online services (as defined in Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO).

The plugins of the social network "Facebook" can include interaction elements as well as content (e.g. videos, graphics or text contributions).
You can recognize the embeddings by the Facebook logo or by the terms "like", "like" or "share" in the typical Facebook colours (blue and white).

Information on all Facebook plugins can be found via the following link: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/

Facebook complies with European data protection law and is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement:
https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active

The plugin establishes a direct connection between your browser and the Facebook servers. The website operator has no influence whatsoever on the nature and extent of the data that the plugin transmits to the Facebook servers.

Further information can be found at: https://www.facebook.com/help/186325668085084

The plugin informs Facebook that you have visited this website as a user. It is possible that your IP address will be saved.
If you are logged into your Facebook account during your visit to this website, this information is linked to this account.

If you use the functions of the plugin - for example by sharing or "linking" a post - the corresponding information is also transmitted to Facebook.
If you click the "Like", "Share" or a corresponding button, Facebook automatically assigns your IP address to your user account.
In this way, you can link our website on Facebook to the pages of your profile.
This process can only take place if you are logged into Facebook at the same time, whereby Facebook can assign the visit to our pages to your user account.

If you want Facebook to prevent this data from being linked to your Facebook account, please log out of Facebook before visiting this website and delete the saved cookies.

You can use your Facebook profile to make further settings for data processing for advertising purposes or to object to the use of your data for advertising purposes.

Facebook Pixel, Custom Audiences and Facebook Conversion
Due to our legitimate interests in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our online services and for these purposes, the so-called "Facebook pixel" of the social network Facebook is used within our online services.
This is operated by Facebook Inc. (1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA) or, if you are resident in the EU, by Facebook Ireland Ltd. (4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland), ("Facebook" for short).

Facebook is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thus offers a guarantee of compliance with European data protection law:
https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC&status=Active

With the help of Facebook pixels, Facebook is able on the one hand to determine the visitors of our online offering as the target group for the display of ads (so-called "Facebook ads"). Accordingly, we use Facebook pixels to display Facebook ads placed by us only to those Facebook users who have shown an interest in our online offering or who have certain features (e.g., interests in certain topics or products that are determined by the websites visited) that we transmit to Facebook (so-called "custom audiences").

Using Facebook pixels, we also want to ensure that our Facebook ads correspond to the potential interest of users and are not annoying.

The Facebook pixel also enables us to analyze and better understand the effectiveness of Facebook ads for statistical and market research purposes by seeing whether users were referred to our website after clicking on a Facebook ad ("conversion").

Facebook processes the data in accordance with Facebook's Data Usage Policy.
Accordingly, the general Facebook ad display guidelines, which can be found in Facebook's Data Usage Policy: https://www.facebook.com/policy.php, apply.

Special information and details about the Facebook pixel and how it works can be found in the Facebook help section: https://www.facebook.com/business/help/651294705016616

You may opt out of Facebook pixel collection and use of your information to display Facebook ads.
To set what types of ads you see within Facebook, you can go to the page set up by Facebook and follow the instructions on the settings for usage-based ads there: https://www.facebook.com/settings?tab=ads
The settings are platform-independent, i.e. they are adopted for all devices, such as desktop computers or mobile devices.

You can object to the use of cookies for range measurement and advertising purposes, via the deactivation page of the Network Advertising Initiative (http://optout.networkadvertising.org/) and also via the US website (http://www.aboutads.info/choices) or the European website (http://www.youronlinechoices.com/uk/your-ad-choices/).

Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google LLC, (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA), (Google).

This is based on our legitimate interests in optimising and analysing our online offering in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. of the German Data Protection Act. DSGVO.

The Google Analytics service uses "cookies" - text files which are stored on your terminal device. The information collected by the cookie is usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

Google LLC undertakes to comply with European data protection law and is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement: https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active

When Google Analytics is used via our website, IP anonymisation takes effect. The IP address of the user is shortened within the member states of the EU and/or the European Economic Area and in the other contracting states of the agreement.
Only in individual cases is the IP address initially transmitted unabbreviated to a Google server in the USA and then shortened there.
By this shortening the personal reference of your IP address is omitted. The IP address of the user transmitted by the browser is not combined with other data stored by Google.

As part of the order data agreement, which we as the website operator have concluded with Google LLC, Google LLC uses the information collected to compile an analysis of website usage and website activity and provides services to the website operator in connection with internet usage.
The processed data may also be used to create pseudonymous user profiles.

The data collected by Google on our behalf is used to evaluate the use of our online services by individual users, e.g. to create reports on activity on our website and to improve our online services.

You have the option of preventing cookies from being stored on your device by making the appropriate settings in your browser.
However, it is not guaranteed that you can access all functions of this website without restrictions if your browser does not allow cookies.

You can also use a browser plug-in to prevent the information collected by cookies (including your IP address) from being sent to Google and used by Google. The following link will take you to the corresponding plugin: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en

Alternatively, by clicking on this Opt-Out-Cookie link, you prevent Google Analytics from collecting any information about you within this website.
Click on the link above to download an opt-out cookie. Your browser must therefore always allow the storage of cookies for this purpose. If you delete your cookies regularly, you will need to click the link again each time you visit this website.

Google (Re-)Marketing Services
On the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in the analysis, optimisation and economic operation of our online services within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. of the German Civil Code), we make use of the information contained in this website. DSGVO) the marketing and remarketing services (in short "Google Marketing Services") of Google LLC, (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA), (in short "Google").

Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thus offers a guarantee of compliance with European data protection law: https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active

Google's marketing services allow us to display advertisements for and on our website in a more targeted manner to show users only ads that potentially match their interests.
For example, if a user sees ads for products that interest him or her on other websites, this is referred to as "remarketing.

For these purposes, when you visit our and other websites on which Google marketing services are active, Google executes a code directly and incorporates (re)marketing tags (invisible graphics or code, also known as "web beacons") into the website. With their help, an individual cookie, i.e. a small text file, is stored on the user's device (comparable technologies can also be used instead of cookies).

Cookies can be set by various domains, including google.com, doubleclick.net, invitemedia.com, admeld.com, googlesyndication.com and googleadservices.com.
In this file it is noted which websites the user visits, which contents he is interested in and which offers he has clicked on. In addition, technical information on the browser and operating system, referring websites, visit times and other information on the use of the online service can also be stored.

The IP address of the user is also recorded, whereby we inform within the scope of Google Analytics that the IP address within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area is shortened and only in exceptional cases completely transferred to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.
The IP address is not merged with user data within other Google services.

Google may also combine the above information with such information from other sources. If the user subsequently visits other websites, advertisements tailored to the user's interests may be displayed.

User data is processed pseudonymously within the framework of Google marketing services. This means, for example, that Google does not store and process the name or e-mail address of the user, but processes the relevant data cookie-related within pseudonymous user profiles. This means that, from Google's point of view, the ads are not administered and displayed for a specifically identified person, but for the cookie holder, regardless of who this cookie holder is.
However, this does not apply if a user has expressly permitted Google to process the data without this pseudonymisation.

The information Google Marketing Services collects about users is transmitted to Google and stored on Google's servers in the United States.

The Google marketing services we use also include the online advertising program "Google AdWords".
In the case of Google AdWords, each AdWords customer receives a different "conversion cookie". Cookies can therefore not be tracked via the websites of AdWords customers. The information collected through the cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking.
AdWords customers learn the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were directed to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, you will not receive any information that personally identifies users.

We may also use Google's AdSense marketing service to include third-party advertisements. AdSense uses cookies to enable Google and its partner sites to serve ads based on users' visits to this site or other sites on the Internet.

We may also use the "Google Tag Manager" to integrate and manage the Google analytics and marketing services on our website.

For more information about Google's use of data for marketing purposes, please visit the overview page at: https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads
Google's privacy policy can be found at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy .

If you wish to object to interest-related advertising by Google marketing services, you can use the setting and opt-out options provided by Google: http://www.google.com/ads/preferences.

Pursuant to Art. 17 DSGVO, you have the right to demand that the data concerning you be deleted immediately or, alternatively, to demand a restriction on the processing of the data pursuant to Art. 18 DSGVO.

You have the right to request to receive the data concerning you which you have provided to us in accordance with Art. 20 DSGVO and to request its transfer to other persons responsible as far as this is technically feasible.

Right of withdrawal
You have the right to revoke your consent to the processing of personal data pursuant to Art. 7 para. 3 DSGVO at any time with effect for the future.

Right of objection
You may object at any time to the future processing of the data concerning you in accordance with Art. 21 DSGVO.

In particular, you may object to the processing of your data for the purposes of direct marketing. If personal data is processed by us for the purpose of direct advertising, you have the right at any time to object to the processing of your personal data for the purpose of such advertising. This also applies to profiling as far as it is connected with such direct advertising.

After your objection, your personal data will no longer be processed, unless we can prove compelling reasons for processing worthy of protection which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims.

Deletion of data
If your request does not conflict with a legal or internal company requirement to store data (e.g. data retention), you have the right to delete your data.

The data processed by us will be deleted or their processing restricted in accordance with Art. 17 and 18 DSGVO.
Unless expressly stated in this data protection declaration, the data stored by us will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required for their intended purpose and there are no legal obligations to retain them. If the data are not deleted because they are required for other and legally permissible purposes, their processing will be restricted. This means that the data will be blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be stored for commercial or tax reasons.

In accordance with legal requirements in Germany, data is stored in particular for 6 years in accordance with § 257 Para. 1 HGB (German Commercial Code) (commercial books, inventories, opening balance sheets, annual financial statements, commercial letters, accounting records, etc.) and for 10 years in accordance with § 147 Para. 1 AO (German Tax Code) (books, records, management reports, accounting records, commercial and business letters, for tax-relevant documents, etc.).

Automated decisions including profiling
You have the right not to be subject to any decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, that has any legal effect on you or similarly significantly affects you.

Data security
We make every effort to ensure the security of your data within the framework of the applicable data protection laws and technical possibilities.

Your personal data will be transmitted encrypted. This applies both to your orders and to any login functions and the like.

We use the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) coding system, but point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps. A complete protection of the data against access by third parties is not possible.
To secure your data, we maintain technical and organizational security measures, which we constantly adapt to the state of the art.

Furthermore, we do not guarantee that our services will be available at certain times. Disturbances, interruptions or failures cannot be excluded. The servers we use are regularly and carefully backed up.
