In the latter case, the data will be deleted once those grounds 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 on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or, where special categories of personal data pursuant to Article 9(1) GDPR are processed, on the basis of Article 9(2)(a) GDPR.
In the event of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, processing is also carried out on the basis of Article 49(1)(a) GDPR.
If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to access information on your device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), data processing is additionally based on Section 25(1) of the German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG). Consent may be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future.
If your data is required for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.
Furthermore, we process your data where this is necessary to comply with a legal obligation on the basis of Article 6(1)(c) GDPR.
Data processing may also take place on the basis of our legitimate interests pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
The specific legal bases applicable in each individual case are explained in the following sections of this Privacy Policy.

Recipients of Personal Data
As part of our business activities, we work with various external parties. In some cases, this requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties.
We only disclose personal data to external parties where this is necessary for the performance of a contract, where we are legally obligated to do so (e.g., disclosure of data to tax authorities), where we have a legitimate interest in the disclosure pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, or where another legal basis permits the transfer of data.
When using data processors, we only transfer our customers’ personal data on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In cases of joint processing, a joint controller agreement will be concluded.

Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may withdraw any consent you have already given at any time.
The lawfulness of data processing carried out before the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal of consent.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Marketing (Article 21 GDPR)
IF THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS BASED ON ARTICLE 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THOSE PROVISIONS. THE SPECIFIC LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH ANY PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR 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 PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 21(1) GDPR).
WHERE YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR SUCH MARKETING PURPOSES. THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL THEREAFTER NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 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 the place of the alleged infringement. This right exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability
You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, in a commonly used, machine-readable format, either for yourself or for a third party. If you request the direct transfer of data to another controller, this will only be carried out where technically feasible.

Right of Access, Rectification, and Erasure
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain, free of charge, information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing. You may also have the right to request the correction or deletion of such data.
You may contact us at any time regarding these rights or any other questions concerning personal data.

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 applies in the following cases:
1. If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally require time to verify this. During the verification period, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
2. If the processing of your personal data was or is unlawful, you may request the restriction of processing instead of deletion.
3. If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing instead of deletion.
4. If you have objected pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of your interests and ours must be carried out. Until it has been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
Where the processing of your personal data has been restricted, such data may, apart from storage, only be processed with your consent, for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, 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.

Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Persistent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them or they are automatically removed by your web browser.
Cookies may be set by us (first-party cookies) or by third-party companies (third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain third-party services within websites (e.g., cookies used for payment processing services).

The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services.
Where consent has been requested for the storage of cookies and similar recognition technologies, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of that consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG). Consent may be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future.
You can configure your browser to inform you about the use of cookies, to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or generally, and to activate automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser.
