The data processing on this website is carried out by the website operator. You can find the contact details in the imprint of this website. We collect your data in two ways: firstly, by you providing it to us. This can be data that you enter into a contact form, for example.

Storage Duration
Unless a more specific storage period has been specified within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer pertains. If you withdraw your consent to data processing or lodge an objection against the processing, and there are no overriding legitimate reasons for the processing, or the processing becomes legally inadmissible for other reasons, the relevant data will be deleted, unless we are legally obligated to retain them for a longer period.

Your data will be disclosed to various recipients as far as this is necessary for the fulfillment of our contractual and legal obligations or based on your prior consent. Possible recipients of personal data may include, among others, internal departments involved in the execution of the respective business processes, external contractors (service companies), or other external entities if data transfer is necessary for contract fulfillment or due to legal regulations.
Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can withdraw any previously granted consent at any time. An informal email making this request is sufficient. The legality of the data processing carried out until the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.
Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)
If data processing is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. e or f GDPR, you have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data; 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.

In the case of violations of data protection laws, the data subject has a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

Right to Data Portability
You have the right to have data which we process based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract automatically delivered to yourself or to a third party in a standard, machine-readable format.

- If the processing of your personal data has happened/is happening unlawfully, you may demand the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
- If we no longer need your personal data, but you need them 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 pursuant to Art. 21 Sect. 1 GDPR, your rights and our rights will need to be weighed against each other. As long as it has not been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as inquiries you send to us as the site operator, this site uses an SSL or TLS encryption.
