SSL or TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses an SSL or TLS encryption.

​

Sharing of Data

Personal data will be transferred to third parties if

-      pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 Letter a) GDPR, the data subject has expressly consented to this,

-      disclosure pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 Letter f) GDPR is necessary to assert, exercise or defend legal claims and there is no reason to assume that the data subject has an overriding legitimate interest in the non-disclosure of their data,

-      there is a legal obligation for the data transmission according to Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 Letter c) DSGVO, and/or

-      this is necessary for the fulfillment of a contractual relationship with the data subject in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 Letter b) GDPR.

​

data economy

In accordance with the principles of data avoidance and data economy, we only store personal data for as long as is necessary or prescribed by law (statutory storage period). If the purpose of the information collected no longer applies or if the storage period ends, we block or delete the data.

​

Objection to advertising mails

We hereby object to the use of contact data published as part of the imprint obligation to send unsolicited advertising and information material. The site operators expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited advertising being sent, such as spam e-mails.

​

​

Your rights as a data subject

Insofar as your personal data is processed when you visit our website, you have the following rights as a "data subject" within the meaning of the GDPR:

​

Revocation of your consent to data processing

You have the right to revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. The revocation of consent can be communicated informally by telephone, e-mail, if necessary by fax or to our postal address. The revocation does not affect the legality of the data processing that has taken place on the basis of the consent up to the receipt of the revocation. After receipt of the revocation, the data processing, which was based exclusively on your consent, will be discontinued.

​

contradiction

If the processing is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 Letter e) GDPR (performance of a task in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority) or on Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 Letter f) GDPR (legitimate interest of the person responsible or a third party), you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons that arise from your particular situation. This also applies to profiling based on Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 Letter e) or Letter f) GDPR. After you have exercised your right to object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

​

You can object at any time to the processing of your personal data for direct marketing purposes. This also applies to profiling associated with such direct advertising. After exercising this right of objection, we will no longer use the personal data concerned for direct marketing purposes.

​

You have the option of notifying our law firm informally of your objection by telephone, e-mail, if necessary by fax or to the postal address listed at the beginning of this data protection declaration.

​

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

As a data subject, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority in the event of a breach of data protection law. The competent supervisory authority with regard to data protection issues is the state data protection officer of the federal state in which our company is based. The following link provides a list of data protection officers and their contact details:  https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html .

​

data portability

You have the right to data portability if the processing is based on your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 Letter a) or Art. 9 Para. 2 Letter a) GDPR) or on a contract to which you are a party and the processing is carried out using automated procedures. In this case, the right to data portability includes the following rights, provided this does not affect the rights and freedoms of other persons: You can request that we receive the personal data that you have provided to us in a structured, common and machine-readable format . You have the right to transmit this data to another responsible person without hindrance on our part. As far as technically feasible, you can request that we transmit your personal data directly to another person responsible.

​

information desk

You can request information from us as to whether your personal data is being processed by us. There is no right to information if the provision of the requested information would violate the confidentiality obligation pursuant to § 57 StBerG or the information must be kept secret for other reasons, in particular because of an overriding legitimate interest of a third party. Deviating from this, there may be an obligation to provide information if your interests outweigh the interest in secrecy, especially taking into account impending damage. The right to information is also excluded if the data is only stored because it may not be deleted due to legal or statutory retention periods or is used exclusively for data backup or data protection control purposes, provided that the provision of information would require a disproportionate amount of effort and processing for other purposes is excluded by appropriate technical and organizational measures. If the right to information is not excluded in your case and your personal data is processed by us, you can request information from us about the following information:

​

-        purposes of processing,

-        Categories of personal data processed by you

- Recipients or categories of recipients to whom your personal data are disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries,

-        if possible, the planned duration for which your personal data will be stored or, if this is not possible, the criteria for determining the storage duration,

-        the existence of a right to correction or deletion or restriction of the processing of your personal data or a right to object to this processing,

-        the existence of a right of appeal to a supervisory authority for data protection,

-        if the personal data have not been collected from you as the data subject, the available information about the origin of the data,

-        if applicable, the existence of automated decision-making including profiling and meaningful information about the logic involved as well as the scope and intended effects of automated decision-making,

-        if applicable, in the case of transmission to recipients in third countries, provided that there is no decision by the EU Commission on the adequacy of the level of protection in accordance with Article 45 (3) GDPR, information on which suitable guarantees in accordance with Article 46 (2) GDPR for protection of the personal data are provided.

​

restriction of processing

You can ask us to restrict processing if one of the following reasons applies:

-        You contest the accuracy of the personal data. In this case, the restriction can be requested for a period of time that enables us to verify the accuracy of the data.

​

-        The processing is unlawful and you request the restriction of the use of your personal data instead of deletion.

​

-        We no longer need your personal data for the purposes of processing that you need to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

​

-        You have lodged an objection in accordance with Article 21 (1) GDPR. The restriction of processing can be requested as long as it is not yet clear whether our legitimate reasons outweigh your reasons.

​

Restriction of processing means that the personal data will only be processed with your consent or to assert, exercise or defend legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest. Before we lift the restriction, we have a duty to let you know.

​

deletion

You have a right to erasure ("right to be forgotten"), provided that the processing is not necessary to exercise the right to freedom of expression, the right to information, or to fulfill a legal obligation or to perform a task of public interest and one of the following reasons applies:

​

-        The personal data are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were processed.

-        The sole justification for the processing was your consent, which you revoked.

-        You have objected to the processing of your personal data, which we have made public.

-        You have objected to the processing of personal data that we have not made public and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing.

-        Your personal data has been processed unlawfully.

-        The deletion of the personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which we are subject.

​

There is no right to deletion if, in the case of lawful, non-automated data processing, deletion is not possible or only possible with disproportionate effort due to the special type of storage and your interest in deletion is low. In this case, the restriction of processing takes the place of deletion.

​

Correction and Completion

If you find that we have incorrect personal data about you, you can request us to correct this incorrect data without delay. If your personal data is incomplete, you can request that it be completed.
