DATA PROTECTION DECLARATIOn

1. General Hints and Mandatory Information

Data protection

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations as well as this data protection declaration. When you use this website, various personal data are collected. Personal data is data by which you can be personally identified. This Privacy Policy explains what information we collect and how we use it. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done. We would like to point out that data transmission on the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

Data subject rights

Revocation of your consent to data processing (Art. 7 para. 3 DSGVO)

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke any given consent at any time. An informal communication by e-mail to us is sufficient for this purpose. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation. 


Right of appeal to the competent supervisory authority (Art. 77 DSGVO) 


In the event of violations of data protection law, the data subject has a right of appeal to the competent supervisory authority. Generally you can contact the supervisory authority of your usual place of residence or workplace or our registered office. A list of data protection officers and their contact details can be found at the following link: 
www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html.

Right to data portability (Art. 20 DSGVO) 


You have the right to have handed over data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in performance of a contract to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.

Right to information, correction, blocking, deletion (Art. 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 DSGVO)

Within the applicable legal provisions, you have the right of information about, among other things, your stored personal data, their origin and recipient and the purpose of the data processing free of charge at any time. You have the right to correct or complete your personal data stored by us and, under certain circumstances, to block or delete this data. You can contact us at any time at the address given in the imprint for this purpose and for further questions on the subject of personal data.

 

Data security - SSL or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us at the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line. If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

 

Objection to advertising e-mails

We hereby object to the use of contact data published within the scope of the imprint obligation to send advertising and information material that has not been expressly requested. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, for example by spam e-mails.

Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions that you have requested (e.g. shopping cart function) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services. Insofar as other cookies (e.g. cookies to analyse your surfing behaviour) are stored, these are dealt with separately in this data protection declaration.
