The right of appeal is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in performance of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format.

Right to restriction of processing

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

If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data happened/is happening unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
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 restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) DSGVO, a balancing of your and our interests 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.

4. Data Collection on this Website

Cookies

Our Internet pages use so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small data packets and do not cause any damage to your terminal device. They are stored either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your terminal device. Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them yourself or until they are automatically deleted by your web browser.

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 of third-party companies within websites (e.g. cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies have various functions. Many 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 may be used to evaluate user behavior or for advertising purposes.

Cookies that are necessary to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions that you have requested (e.g. for the shopping cart function) or to optimize the website (e.g. cookies to measure the web audience) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized 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 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG); consent can be revoked at any time.

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

Which cookies and services are used on this website can be found in this privacy policy.

This does not affect any existing statutory retention periods. Details on the processing of your data by Complianz can be found at https://complianz.io/privacy-statement.

Server log files

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

browser type and browser version
Operating system used
referrer URL
Host name of the accessing computer
Time of the server request
IP address
This data is not merged with other data sources.

The collection of this data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of its website – for this purpose, the server log files must be collected.

Inquiry by e-mail, telephone or fax

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

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b DSGVO, if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the requests sent to us (Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO) or on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) DSGVO) if this has been requested; the consent can be revoked at any time.

The data you send to us via contact requests will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to store it or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular legal retention periods – remain unaffected.

Inquiry via WhatsApp

We’re offering the possibility for you to interact with us using WhatsApp for sending in your inquiries and getting responses. This service is provided by WhatsApp Ireland Limited, located at 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland (“WhatsApp”), which operates under the parent company Facebook. By choosing to communicate with us through WhatsApp, your phone number and the fact that you’ve reached out to us are shared with both us and WhatsApp.

This information is transmitted to and processed on Facebook’s servers in the United States by both WhatsApp and Facebook, in line with WhatsApp’s Privacy Policy. This includes usage for their internal purposes, such as service enhancement. It’s important to note that WhatsApp may access and use the contact information stored in the device’s address book. For detailed information on how WhatsApp and Facebook collect, use, and manage this data, including your rights and choices to protect your privacy, please consult the WhatsApp privacy policy available at: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/#privacy-policy.

In handling your request, we collect and process your name, phone number, any additional information you provide, and the details of your inquiry. This is done to adequately address and respond to your queries.

The legal basis for processing this data and sharing it with WhatsApp is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR if your inquiry is related to or aims to establish a contractual relationship with us. For other types of requests, the processing is justified under Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, reflecting our legitimate interest in effectively managing your inquiries. We ensure your interests are considered by offering WhatsApp communication as just one of several options. You’re welcome to reach out to us through alternative methods, such as a phone call, email, or our website’s contact form, as mentioned previously.
