Data processing may also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Information on the relevant legal basis in each individual case is provided in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may revoke consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out prior to the revocation is not affected by the revocation.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES TO ASSERT, EXERCISE OR DEFEND 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; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

In the event of violations 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 violation. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

The supervisory authority responsible for us is:

Bayerisches Landesamt für Datenschutzaufsicht (BayLDA)
Promenade 18
91522 Ansbach

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to have data that 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 commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of data to another responsible party, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.

SSL and 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 SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address bar of the browser changes from „http://“ to „https://“ and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.

When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Information, Deletion, and Correction

Within the framework of applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, and, if applicable, the right to correction or deletion of this data. For these and other questions on the subject of personal data, you are welcome to contact us at any time.

Right to Restriction of Processing

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

If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we generally 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 was or is being carried out unlawfully, you may 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 deletion.
If you have filed an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. 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 being stored — only be processed with your consent or for the purpose of asserting, exercising, or defending 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 a member state.

Objection to Advertising Emails

The use of contact data published in the context of the imprint obligation for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and informational materials is hereby expressly prohibited. The operators of this website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited advertising information being sent, for example in the form of spam emails.

3. Data Collection on This Website

Our website uses what are known as „cookies.“ Cookies are small text files that do not cause any harm to your device. They are stored either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Persistent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or until your web browser automatically deletes them.

We use only technically necessary cookies on this website, which are required for the operation of the website. These cookies serve to ensure the technically error-free provision of the website and are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free provision of its services.

Cookies from third-party providers may be set when embedding YouTube videos (see the section „YouTube with Enhanced Privacy“).

You can set your browser to inform you about the placement of cookies and to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

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
Hostname 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(1)(f) GDPR. 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 recorded.

Contact Form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact information you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We do not share this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, if your inquiry 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 handling of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), if this has been requested.

The data you enter in the contact form 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 inquiry has been fully processed). Mandatory statutory provisions — in particular retention periods — remain unaffected.

Newsletter

If you subscribe to the newsletter offered on this website, the data entered in the respective input form will be transmitted to the responsible party. Registration for our newsletter is carried out using a so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that after registering, you will receive an email asking you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary to prevent anyone from registering with a third-party email address.

When registering for the newsletter, the user’s IP address as well as the date and time of registration and confirmation are stored. This serves to prevent misuse of the services or the email address of the person concerned. The data stored to document your consent (IP address, time of registration and confirmation) is retained for the duration of your newsletter subscription and for a further period of three years after your cancellation for evidentiary purposes, and is then deleted.

Data is not passed on to third parties. An exception exists if there is a legal obligation to pass on data. The data is used exclusively for sending the newsletter. The newsletter subscription may be canceled by the person concerned at any time. Likewise, consent to the storage of personal data may be revoked at any time. A corresponding link is provided in every newsletter for this purpose.

The legal basis for the processing of data after registration for the newsletter by the user is, in the case of the user’s consent, Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. The legal basis for sending the newsletter following the sale of goods or services is § 7(3) UWG.

Use of Brevo

Description and purpose: We use Brevo (formerly Sendinblue) for sending newsletters. The provider is Brevo GmbH, Köpenicker Straße 126, 10179 Berlin, Germany. Brevo is used, among other things, to organize and analyze the dispatch of newsletters. The data you provide for the purpose of receiving the newsletter is stored on Brevo’s servers in Germany. If you do not wish to be analyzed by Brevo, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. We provide a corresponding link in every newsletter message for this purpose. For the purpose of analysis, emails sent with Brevo contain a so-called tracking pixel that connects to Brevo’s servers when the email is opened. In this way, it can be determined whether a newsletter message has been opened. Furthermore, we can use Brevo to determine whether and which links in the newsletter message are clicked. Links in the email may optionally be set as tracking links, which can be used to count your clicks.

Legal basis: The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

Recipients: The recipient of the data is Brevo GmbH as a data processor. We have entered into a data processing agreement with Brevo.

Transfer to third countries: No transfer of data to third countries takes place.

Retention period: The data you provide for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will be deleted from our servers as well as from Brevo’s servers after cancellation. Data stored with us for other purposes (e.g., email addresses for the members‘ area) is not affected by this.

Right of revocation: You have the option of revoking your consent to data processing with effect for the future at any time. The lawfulness of data processing operations that have already taken place is not affected by the revocation.

Inquiries by Email, Phone, or Chat

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

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 request has been fully processed). Mandatory statutory provisions — in particular statutory retention periods — remain unaffected.

4. Plugins and Tools

YouTube with Enhanced Privacy

This website embeds videos from YouTube. The operator of the pages is Google Ireland Limited („Google“), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

We use YouTube in privacy-enhanced mode. When you visit a page with an embedded YouTube video, a connection to YouTube’s servers is established. YouTube is thereby informed which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to associate your browsing behavior directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

Furthermore, after starting a video, YouTube may store various cookies on your device or use comparable recognition technologies (e.g., device fingerprinting). In this way, YouTube can obtain information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve user-friendliness, and prevent fraud.

If necessary, after starting a YouTube video, further data processing operations may be triggered over which we have no control.

YouTube is used in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offerings. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If a corresponding consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent may be revoked at any time.
