  • If the processing of your personal data was or is unlawful, you can request restriction of processing instead of deletion.
  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you require them for the exercise, defense, or establishment of legal claims, you have the right to request limitation of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
  • If you have objected pursuant to Art. 21(1) DSGVO, there must be a balance between your interests and ours. As long as it is not yet determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, aside from storage, these data may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of 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.

Our websites use so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small data packets that do not harm your device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Persistent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or 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 allow the integration of specific services from third-party companies within websites (e.g., cookies for processing 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 for analyzing user behavior or for advertising purposes.

Cookies that are necessary for carrying out the electronic communication process, for providing certain functions you request (e.g., shopping cart functionality), or for optimizing the website (e.g., cookies for measuring web audience) are stored based on Art. 6(1)(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.

No further data will be collected or will only be collected on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

The processing of data entered in the newsletter registration form is done exclusively based on your consent (Article 6, paragraph 1, point a of the DSGVO). The granted consent to store the data, email address, and their use for sending the newsletter can be revoked at any time, for example by clicking on the “Unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations carried out before the revocation remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

The data you provide to us for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter with us or with the newsletter service provider, and will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list after unsubscribing from the newsletter or when the purpose no longer applies. We reserve the right to delete or block email addresses from our newsletter distribution list at our discretion within the scope of our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

Data stored for other purposes remains unaffected by this.

After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored in a blacklist by us or the newsletter service provider, if necessary, to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and will not be merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with legal requirements for sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) DSGVO). The storage in the blacklist is not time-limited. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.
