Storage duration
Unless a more specific storage period is mentioned within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing ceases to apply. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke consent for data processing, your data will be deleted, provided we have no other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial retention periods); in the latter case, deletion will occur after these reasons no longer apply.
General information on the legal basis for data processing on this website
If you have consented to data processing, we will process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR if special categories of data are processed according to Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR. In the event of express consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing will also be based on Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

Data processing may also take place on the basis of our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The relevant legal bases in each individual case will be informed about in the following paragraphs of this data protection declaration.
Recipients of personal data
As part of our business operations, we collaborate with various external entities. This sometimes requires the transfer of personal data to these external entities.
We only pass on personal data to external recipients if this is necessary for the performance of a contract, if we are legally obligated to do so (e.g., passing on data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in passing on data pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the data transfer. When using contract processors, we only pass on personal data of our customers on the basis of a valid contract for contract processing. In the event of joint processing, a contract for joint processing is concluded.
Withdrawal of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can withdraw consent once given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out up to the point of withdrawal shall remain unaffected by the withdrawal.
Right to object to data processing in specific cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
If the data processing is based on Art. 6 Sec. 1 lit. e or f GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. You can find the respective legal basis on which processing is based in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21 Sec. 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 IF IT IS ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 (2) GDPR).
Right of complaint to the competent supervisory authority
In the event of infringements 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. The right to complain is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.
Right to data portability
You have the right to have data that we automatically process based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or 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 to the extent that it is technically feasible.
Information, Correction, and Deletion
You have the right, within the scope of the applicable legal provisions, to free access to information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, and if applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose, as well as for further questions on the subject of personal data.
Right to restrict processing
You have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data.
You can contact us at any time regarding this. The right to restrict processing exists in the following cases:
If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we generally need time to verify it. During the verification period, 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 a restriction of processing instead of erasure.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
If you have lodged an objection under Article 21(1) of the GDPR, a balancing of your interests and ours must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data may – apart from storage – only be processed with your consent, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of an important public interest of the Union or of a Member State.
