If you make a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, deletion will take place after these reasons no longer apply.
General information on the legal bases for data processing on this website
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data based on Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9 (2)(a) GDPR if special data categories according to Art. 9 (1) GDPR are processed.
In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, processing is also based on Art. 49 (1)(a) GDPR.

If your data is required for the fulfillment of a contract or pre-contractual measures, we process your data based on Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR.
Furthermore, we process your data if it is required to fulfill a legal obligation based on Art. 6 (1)(c) GDPR.
Data processing may also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest under Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR.
The specific legal bases applicable in each case are detailed in the sections of this privacy policy that follow.
Notice regarding data transfer to non-secure third countries and to U.S. companies not certified under the DPF
We use tools from companies located in countries that are not considered secure under data protection law, as well as U.S. tools whose providers are not certified under the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework (DPF).
If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these countries and processed there.
Please note that in countries not deemed secure under data protection law, a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU cannot be guaranteed.
The U.S. is generally considered a secure third country with a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU.
Data transfers to the U.S. are therefore permissible if the recipient holds a certification under the “EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework” (DPF) or has appropriate additional safeguards in place.
Information about transfers to third countries, including data recipients, can be found in this privacy policy.
Recipients of personal data
In the course of our business activities, we work with various external parties.
This may require the transfer of personal data to these external parties.
We only transfer personal data to external parties if this is necessary to fulfill a contract, if we are legally obligated to do so (e.g. transfer of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the data transfer.
When using processors, we transfer personal data of our customers only on the basis of a valid data processing agreement.
In cases 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 already given at any time.
The legality of the data processing carried out before the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.
Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
If data processing is based on Art. 6 (1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right at any time, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to object to the processing of your personal data; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
The respective legal basis for processing 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 the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection under Art. 21 (1) GDPR).
If your personal data are 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, insofar as it is related to such direct marketing.
If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection under Art. 21 (2) GDPR).
Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority
In the event of violations of the GDPR, affected persons have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or the location of the alleged violation.
The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to data portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract transferred to yourself or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format.
If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only take place where technically feasible.
Access, rectification, and deletion
Within the framework of applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain information free of charge about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing and, if applicable, the right to rectification or deletion of this data.
For this purpose, as well as for further questions regarding personal data, you can contact us at any time.
Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data.
You can contact us at any time for this purpose.
The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
- If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this.
For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data. - If the processing of your personal data was or is unlawful, you may request restriction instead of deletion.
- If we no longer need your personal data but you require it for the exercise, defense, or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction instead of deletion.
- If you have objected under Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balance must be made between your and our interests.
As long as it has not been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data — apart from its storage — may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.
SSL or TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption.
You can recognize an encrypted connection by the browser’s address line changing from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
4. Data collection on this website
Cookies
Our website uses so-called “cookies.” Cookies are small data packages that cause no 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 after your visit. Persistent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or automatic deletion is performed by your web browser.
Cookies may originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies allow the integration of certain services of third-party companies within websites (e.g. cookies for handling payment services).
Cookies serve various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping cart function or video display). Other cookies may be used to analyze user behavior or for advertising purposes.
Cookies that are necessary to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions you have requested (e.g. for the shopping cart), or to optimize the website (e.g. cookies for measuring web audiences) are stored based on Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services.
If consent for the storage of cookies and similar recognition technologies has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG); consent can be withdrawn at any time.
You can configure your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies, allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser.
If cookies are disabled, the functionality of this website may be limited.
You can find which cookies and services are used on this website in this privacy policy.
Server log files
The provider of these pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

- Referrer URL
- Hostname of the accessing computer
- Time of the server request
- IP address
This data will not be combined with data from other 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 their website — for this purpose, 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 case 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, provided your request relates to the performance of a contract or is necessary for pre-contractual measures.
In all other cases, 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; consent can be withdrawn at any time.
The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request deletion, withdraw your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been fully processed). Mandatory legal provisions — particularly retention periods — remain unaffected.
Inquiry by email, telephone, or fax
If you contact us by email, phone, or fax, your inquiry, including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We will not share this data without your consent.
The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR, provided your request is related to the fulfillment of a contract or necessary for pre-contractual measures.
In all other cases, 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 requested; consent can be withdrawn at any time.
The data sent to us via contact requests will remain with us until you request deletion, withdraw your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been fully processed).
Mandatory legal provisions — particularly statutory retention periods — remain unaffected.
5. Social media
Social media elements with Shariff
This website uses elements from social media platforms (e.g. Facebook, X, Instagram, Pinterest, XING, LinkedIn, Tumblr).
