Personal data includes all data that can be linked to a specific natural person, e.g. their name or IP address.

1.2. Scope of data processing, purposes of processing and the legal bases
The scope of the data processing, the purposes of the processing, and the legal bases are explained in detail below. The following are generally considered to be the legal bases for data processing:
1.3. Data processing outside the EEA
Where we transfer data to service providers or other third parties outside the EEA, adequacy decisions of the EU Commission pursuant to Art. 45 (3) GDPR guarantee the security of the data in the course of transfer where such decisions exist, as is the case for the UK, Canada and Israel, for example.
In the absence of an adequacy decision (e.g. for the USA), the legal basis for data transfer is standard contractual clauses in most cases, i.e. unless we indicate otherwise. These are a set of rules adopted by the EU Commission and form part of the contract with the respective third party. According to Art. 46 (2) (b) GDPR, they guarantee that the transfer of data is secure. Many of these providers have also issued contractual guarantees that go beyond standard contractual clauses, which provide even greater protection for data. These may include guarantees concerning the encryption of data or the obligation of a third party to inform the data subject if law enforcement agencies wish to access data.
1.4. Storage period
Unless expressly stated in this privacy policy, the data we store is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for its intended purpose, the customer has not consented to further storage in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (1) (a) GDPR, and there are no statutory retention obligations that prevent deletion. If the data is not deleted because it is required for other purposes permitted by law, its processing is restricted, i.e. the data is blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that we must retain for reasons of commercial or tax law.
1.5. Rights of data subjects
Data subjects have the following rights vis-à-vis us with regard to their personal data:
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to information, free of charge, about your stored personal data, its origin, the recipient and the purpose of the data processing and, if necessary, a right to correction or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time at the address provided in the legal notice for this purpose or for any other questions on the subject of personal data.
You have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted. You can contact us at any time at the address provided in the legal notice for this purpose. The right to restrict processing exists in the following cases:
- If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data that we have stored, we generally need time to review the issue. You have the right to request that processing of your personal data be restricted for the period of this review.
- If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request that the processing of your data be restricted instead of deleted.
- 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 that the processing of your personal data be restricted instead of deleted.
- If you have filed an objection in accordance with Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. You have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted while the prevailing interest is being determined.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data – with the exception of its storage – may 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 important public interest of the European Union or of a member state.
If data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (1) (e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons related to your particular situation. You can find the respective legal basis on which processing is based in this privacy policy. If you file an objection, we cease processing your personal data unless we can demonstrate that we have compelling and legitimate grounds for such processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR).
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 personal data concerning you for the purpose of such marketing. If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for the purpose of direct marketing (objection pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR).
You have the right to request that data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract be handed over to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, we will only fulfil your request if it is technically feasible.
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke your consent at any time. In the event of revocation, the legality of the processing prior to revocation remains unaffected.
Data subjects also have the right to file a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority about the processing of their personal data. Contact information for the data protection supervisory authorities can be found at https://www.bfdi.bund.de/EN/Service/Anschriften/Laender/Laender-node.html.
1.6. Duty to provide data
As part of a business relationship or other relationship, customers, interested parties and third parties only have to provide us with the personal data that is necessary for the establishment, implementation and termination of the business or other relationship, and the data we are legally obligated to collect. Without this data, we will normally refuse to conclude a contract or provide a service, or will no longer able to fulfil an existing contract or other relationship. Mandatory information is marked as such.
1.7. No automated decision-making in individual cases
Generally, we do not use fully automated decision-making in accordance with Article 22 of GDPR to establish or implement business relationships or any other form of relationship. Should we use these procedures in individual cases, we will inform you separately if this is required by law.
1.8. Contacting us
When you contact us, e.g. by email or telephone, we store the data provided to us (e.g. names and email addresses) in order to answer questions. The legal basis for data processing is our legitimate interest (Art. 6 (1) (1) (f) GDPR) in responding to enquiries addressed to us. We delete the data collected for this purpose after storage is no longer required, or restrict processing if we have a legal obligation to retain the data.
1.9. Customer surveys
From time to time we conduct customer surveys to get to know our customers and their needs better. In each case, we collect the requested data. We have a legitimate interest in better understanding our customers and their wishes, therefore the legal basis for the corresponding data processing is Art. 6 (1) (1) (f) GDPR. We delete the data after the results of the surveys have been analysed.
1.10. SSL and/or TLS encryption
This site uses SSL and/or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us, the site operator.

We reserve the right to periodically inform customers who have already used our services or purchased goods from us about our offers by email or other electronic means if they have not objected to this. The legal basis for this data processing is Art. 6 (1) (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest relates to direct marketing (Recital 47 GDPR). Customers can object to the use of their email address for advertising purposes at any time at no additional cost, for example via the link at the end of each email or by sending an email to our email address above.

Consent can be revoked at any time, for example by clicking on the corresponding link in the newsletter or by sending a message to the email address provided above. In the event of revocation, the legality of the processing prior to revocation remains unaffected.

We send newsletters using the Microsoft Dynamics 365 tool from the provider Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA (privacy policy: https://privacy.microsoft.com/en-gb/privacystatement?culture=de-de&country=DE).

We are present on social media networks to represent our organisation and our services. The operators of these networks regularly process their users’ data for advertising purposes. This includes creating user profiles from their online behaviour which are used, for example, to display advertising on the network pages and elsewhere on the internet that corresponds to the interests of the users.

Furthermore, it cannot be ruled out that the operators will merge this information with other data. Additional information and instructions on how users can object to processing by the site operators can be found in the privacy policy declarations of the respective operators listed below. It is also possible that the operators or their servers are located in non-EU countries, which means that they can process data there.
