If you submit a justified request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. tax or commercial law retention periods); in the latter case, deletion will take place after these reasons no longer apply.

General Information on the Legal Basis of Data Processing on This Website

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR or Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR, if special categories of data under Art. 9 (1) GDPR are processed. In the case of express consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also carried out on the basis of Art. 49 (1) (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 on the basis of § 25 (1) TTDSG. Consent may be revoked at any time. If your data is required for the fulfilment of a contract or for pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if this is required to fulfil a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR. Data processing may also be based on our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Information on the relevant legal basis in each individual case is provided in the following paragraphs of this Privacy Policy.

Recipients of Personal Data

In the course of our business activities, we work with various external parties. This may also require the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only disclose personal data to external parties if this is necessary within the framework of fulfilling a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. transfer of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest under Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR in the disclosure, or if another legal basis permits the data disclosure. When using processors, we only pass on our customers’ personal data on the basis of a valid processing contract. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing contract will be concluded.

Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may revoke consent you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out up to 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 Article 6 (1) (e) or (f) of the GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons related to 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 PERSONAL DATA, UNLESS WE CAN PROVE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES TO ASSERT, EXERCISE, OR DEFEND 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 personal data concerning you for such marketing purposes; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated 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 the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged violation.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format.

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, recipients, and the purpose of data processing and, if necessary, a right to correction or deletion of this 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 applies in the following cases:

• If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need time to review it. You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data for the duration of the review.
• If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request 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 request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of 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 is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
• If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data may – with the exception of its storage – only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal rights or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a legal claim.
