2. General notes and mandatory information

Privacy

The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and use it in accordance with the legal data protection regulations as well as this privacy policy.

If you use this website, various personal data shall be collected. Personal data is data with which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains what information we collect, how we use it, as well as how and for what purpose this is done.

We would like to point out that data transmission over the internet (e.g. communication by email) may be subject to security gaps. A complete protection of the data against access by third parties is not possible.


Responsible office and data protection officer

The responsible person for data processing on this website is:

Michael Stief

Telephone: +49 (0) 17645794455

Email: [email protected]

The responsible body is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, email addresses, etc.).


Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may revoke your consent at any time. For this purpose, an informal email notification to us shall be sufficient. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation shall remain unaffected by the revocation.


Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct advertising (Article 21 GDPR)

If data processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6 (1) (e or f) GDPR, you shall have the right at any time to object to the processing of your personal data for reasons arising from your particular situation; this shall also apply to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which a processing is based can be found in this data protection declaration. If you file an objection, we shall no longer process your personal data unless we can prove compelling reasons for processing worthy of protection which outweigh your interests, rights, and freedoms or the processing serves the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection according to Article 21 (1) GDPR).

If your personal data is processed for the purpose of direct advertising, you shall have the right to object to the processing of your personal data for the purpose of such advertising at any time; this shall also apply to profiling insofar as it is connected with such direct advertising. If you object, your personal data shall no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection according to Article 21 (2) GDPR).


Right of appeal to the competent supervisory authority

In the event of infringements of the GDPR, the persons concerned shall have the right to appeal to a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, workplace, or place of presumed infringement. The right of appeal shall be without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.


Right to data transferability

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


SSL or TLS encryption

This site uses 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 as the site operator. You can recognize 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.


Information, blocking, deletion and correction

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you shall have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, their origin and recipient and the purpose of data processing and, if applicable, a right to correction, blocking, or deletion of this data. You may contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice for this and other questions on the subject of personal data.


Right to limitation of processing

You shall have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice. The right to restriction of the processing exists in the following cases:

  1. If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the check, you shall have the right to demand that we restrict the processing of your personal data.

  2. If the processing of your personal data has taken place unlawfully, you can demand the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.

  3. If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defense, or assertion of legal claims, you shall have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.

  4. If you have lodged an objection in accordance with Article 21 (1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your and our interests. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests predominate, you shall have the right to demand that the processing of your personal data be restricted.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data may not be processed - apart from its storage - without your consent or for the purpose of asserting, exercising, or defending legal rights or protecting the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.


3. Data collection on my website

Cookies

Some internet pages use cookies. Cookies neither damage your computer nor contain viruses, and serve to make our offer more user-friendly, more effective, and more secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are known as "session cookies". They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser during your next visit.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, accept cookies for certain cases, or generally exclude and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted.

Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions you require (e.g. shopping basket function) are stored on the basis of Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The website operator has a justified interest in the storage of cookies to ensure it can provide its services in a technically error-free and optimized manner. Insofar as other cookies (e.g. cookies for analyzing your surfing behavior) are stored, these are dealt with separately in this data protection declaration.


Contact form

If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your details from the enquiry form including the contact data you provided there shall be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. This data will not be passed on without your consent.

The processing of the data entered in the contact form is therefore carried out exclusively on the basis of your consent (Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR). You may revoke this consent at any time. For this purpose, an informal email notification to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing operations carried out until the revocation shall remain unaffected by the revocation.

The data entered by you in the contact form shall remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions - in particular retention periods - shall remain unaffected.


Inquiry by e-mail, telephone or fax

If you contact us by email, telephone, or fax, your inquiry including all personal data (name, enquiry) shall be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We shall not pass on this data without your consent.

This data is processed on the basis of Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR if your request is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on your consent (Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR) and/or on our legitimate interests (Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR), as we have a legitimate interest in the effective processing of the enquiries addressed to us.

The data you send us via contact requests shall remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular statutory retention periods - shall remain unaffected.
