If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO (GDPR) or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a DSGVO if special categories of data are processed under Art. 9 para. 1 DSGVO.

Recipients of Personal Data

As part of our business activities, we collaborate with various external entities. In some cases, it is necessary to transmit personal data to these external entities. We will only share personal data with external entities if this is required for the fulfillment of a contract, if we are legally obligated to do so (e.g., sharing data with tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest under Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO in sharing it, or if another legal basis permits the data transfer. When using processors, we share personal data of our customers only based on a valid contract for order processing. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke any consent you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing that has occurred up until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases as well as Against Direct Marketing (Art. 21 DSGVO)

IF DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT BASED ON ART. 6 PARA. 1 LIT. E OR F DSGVO, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RELEVANT LEGAL BASIS FOR THE PROCESSING CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA, UNLESS WE CAN PROVIDE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING IS NECESSARY FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21 PARA. 1 DSGVO).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR SUCH ADVERTISING PURPOSES; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21 PARA. 2 DSGVO).

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, the data subject has the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the member state of their habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged violation. This right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to request the data we process based on your consent or the performance of a contract in an automated manner, to be provided to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of data to another responsible party, this will only take place if it is technically feasible.

Information, Correction, and Deletion

You have the right, at any time and within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, to obtain information about your stored personal data, its origin, its recipients, and the purpose of data processing, and, if necessary, to request the correction or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time regarding this or for any further questions regarding personal data.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:

• If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we generally need time to verify this. During the verification period, you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data.

• If the processing of your personal data is unlawful, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.

• If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.

• If you have filed an objection under Art. 21 para. 1 DSGVO, a balancing of interests must be carried out between your and our interests. As long as it is not clear whose interests outweigh, you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data.

If the processing of your personal data has been restricted, such data – except for its storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or a member state.
