Recipients of personal data

As part of our business operations, we collaborate with various external bodies. In some cases, this also requires the transfer of personal data to these external bodies. We only transfer personal data to external bodies if this is necessary for the performance of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. transfer of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the transfer within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the data transfer. When using processors, we only transfer our customers' personal data on the basis of a valid contract processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can withdraw consent that has already been given at any time. The lawfulness of any data processing carried out up to the point of withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

Right to object in special circumstances and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

Where data is processed on the basis of Article 6(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 those provisions. You can find the relevant legal basis for processing 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 processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims (objection under Article 21(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 PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING WHEREVER IT IS RELATED TO 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 to complain 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, place of work or place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint shall be without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.

Right to data portability

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

Information, rectification and deletion

Under the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, their origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, and, if applicable, a right to rectification 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 restriction of processing

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

• If you dispute the accuracy of the personal data we hold about you, we will generally need time to verify it. For the duration of the verification process, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
• If the processing of your personal data took place/takes place unlawfully, you can request a restriction on the processing of data instead of deletion.
• If we no longer need your personal data, but you need them for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, you have the right to require restriction of processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
• If you have lodged an objection under Article 21(1) of the GDPR, a balancing of your interests against ours must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data may – apart from its 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 European Union or of a Member State.

4. Data Collection on this Website

Biscuits

Our websites use what are known as „cookies“. Cookies are small data packets and do not harm your device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or your web browser automatically deletes them.

Cookies can originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services from third-party companies within websites (e.g. cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies serve various functions. A large number of cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies can be used for analysing user behaviour or for advertising purposes.

Cookies that are necessary for the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions desired by you (e.g. for the shopping cart function) or to optimise the website (e.g. cookies for measuring the web audience) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically flawless and optimised provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Sect. 25(1) TDDDG); consent can be withdrawn at any time.

You can adjust your browser settings to be informed about the setting of cookies and to allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, to exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general, or to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may restrict the functionality of this website.

Should further cookies and services be used on this website, you can find this information in this privacy policy.

Contact form

If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing your enquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We will not pass on these data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, provided that your request relates to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of inquiries directed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this has been requested; consent can be withdrawn at any time.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent for storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – particularly retention periods – remain unaffected.

Enquiries by email, telephone or fax

If you contact us by email, phone, or fax, your enquiry, including all personal data arising from it (name, enquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, provided that your request relates to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of inquiries directed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this has been requested; consent can be withdrawn at any time.

The data you send us via contact requests will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your enquiry has been fully processed). Mandatory legal provisions – particularly statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.
