General Information on the Legal Bases for Data Processing on this Website
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR, insofar as special categories of data pursuant to Article 9(1) GDPR are processed. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing also takes place on the basis of Article 49(1)(a) GDPR.

If your data is required for the performance of a contract or for taking steps prior to entering into a contract, we process your data based on Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter b of the GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if it is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation, based on Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter c of the GDPR. Data processing may also be based on our legitimate interest pursuant to Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f of the GDPR. The applicable legal bases in each individual case are explained in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.
Recipients of personal data
In the course of our business activities, we collaborate with various external parties. In some cases, this also requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only disclose personal data to external parties if this is necessary for the performance of a contract, if we are legally obligated to do so (e.g., disclosure of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the disclosure pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the data transfer. When using data processors, we only disclose our customers’ personal data on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.
Withdrawal of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out before the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.
Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6 PARA. 1 LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, AT ANY TIME TO PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. The specific legal basis for each processing activity is set out in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the purpose of establishing, exercising or defending legal claims (objection pursuant to Article 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 marketing; 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 processed for direct marketing purposes (objection pursuant to Article 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, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, their place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. This right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.
Right to data portability
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from us, where the processing is based on consent pursuant to point (a) of Article 6(1) or point (a) of Article 9(2) or on a contract pursuant to point (b) of Article 6(1) and the processing is carried out by automated means. Where technically feasible, you also have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from us to another controller.
Access, Rectification, and Erasure
Under applicable legal provisions, you have the right to obtain information free of charge at any time about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, and, if applicable, the right to rectification or erasure of this data. You can contact us at any time with regard to this and any further questions concerning 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 to do so. 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 the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
If you have objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of interests between your interests and ours must be carried out. Until it is determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of 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.
SSL/TLS Encryption
This site uses SSL/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. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser’s address bar changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser’s address bar.
When SSL/TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Objection to unsolicited advertising emails
The use of contact information published as part of our legal notice for sending unsolicited advertising and informational materials is hereby prohibited. The operators of this website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited advertising, such as spam emails.
4. Data Collection on this Website
Cookies
Our website uses so-called “cookies.” Cookies are small data packets and do not harm your device. They are stored on your device either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted after you close your browser. Persistent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or until they are automatically deleted by your web browser.
Cookies can originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services from third-party companies within websites (e.g., cookies for processing payment services).
Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies can be used to analyze user behavior or for advertising purposes.
Cookies that are necessary for the execution of electronic communication processes, for providing certain functions you have requested (e.g., for the shopping cart function), or for optimizing the website (e.g., cookies for measuring website traffic) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies to ensure the technically flawless and optimized provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies and similar recognition technologies has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and Section 25 para. 1 TDDDG); this consent can be revoked at any time.
You can configure your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or in general, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may restrict the functionality of this website.
If further cookies and services are used on this website, you can find this information in this privacy policy.
Server log files
The provider of these pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. This information includes:
Browser type and version
Operating system used
Referrer URL
Hostname of the accessing computer
Time of the server request
IP address
This data will not be combined with other data sources.
This data is collected on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically flawless presentation and optimization of its website – for this purpose, the server log files must be recorded.
Inquiries via Email, Telephone, or Fax
When you contact us via email, telephone, or fax, your inquiry, including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We will not share this data without your consent.
The processing of this data is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry relates to the performance of a contract or is necessary for taking steps prior to entering into a contract. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries addressed to us (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR), if such consent has been obtained; you may withdraw your consent at any time.
The data you send us via contact requests will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular, statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.
Comments
When visitors post comments on the website, in addition to the data provided in the comment form, the visitor’s IP address and technical information (e.g., time of posting) are also stored. This serves security purposes and allows for traceability in the event of illegal content. Comments are manually reviewed before publication.
Spam Protection (Antispam Bee)
We use the “Antispam Bee” plugin to detect and prevent spam comments. The data transmitted via the comment function (e.g., IP address and comment content) can be automatically checked to detect and prevent spam. This processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in protecting the website from spam and abuse).
5. Plugins and Tools
Google Fonts (local hosting)
This website uses Google Fonts for the consistent display of fonts. The fonts are hosted locally on our web server, so no connection to Google’s servers is established when you visit the website. The legal basis for this is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in a uniform presentation of the typeface).
