Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke consent that has already been given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

IF DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT BASED ON ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA AT ANY TIME FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; 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 REASONS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ASSERTION, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21(1) GDPR).

IF 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, INCLUDING PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING.

The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive data that we process based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible.

Access, Correction, and Deletion

Within the scope of applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients, and the purpose of data processing, and, if applicable, the right to correct or delete this data. For further questions regarding personal data, you can contact us at any time.

Right to Restrict Processing

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

  • If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
  • If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of processing instead of deletion.
  • If you have objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of your and our interests must be carried out. As long as it is not clear 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—apart from being stored—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.

Our website uses “cookies.” Cookies are small data packages 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. Persistent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or your browser performs an automatic deletion.

Cookies can originate from us (first-party cookies) or third-party companies (third-party cookies). Third-party cookies allow the integration of certain services provided by third-party companies within websites (e.g., cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies serve various purposes. Many cookies are technically necessary as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or video display). Other cookies are used to analyze user behavior or for advertising purposes.

Cookies necessary for electronic communication, providing certain functions you have requested (e.g., shopping cart functionality), or optimizing the website (e.g., cookies for measuring web audience) 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 or similar recognition technologies has been requested, processing occurs exclusively based on this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDG); consent can be revoked at any time.

You can configure your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies, allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, exclude cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Deactivating cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Details about the cookies and services used on this website can be found in this Privacy Policy.

6. Newsletter

Newsletter Data

If you wish to receive the newsletter offered on this website, we require an email address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the provided email address and consent to receiving the newsletter. No further data is collected or only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.

After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored in a blacklist to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and will not be merged with other data.

You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

7. Plugins and Tools

YouTube with Enhanced Privacy

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

When you visit a page on this website that includes a YouTube video, a connection to YouTube’s servers is established. This notifies the YouTube server about which pages you 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.

We use YouTube with enhanced privacy mode. According to YouTube, this mode ensures that YouTube does not store information about visitors to this site before they watch the video. However, enhanced privacy mode does not necessarily prevent data sharing with YouTube partners. For instance, YouTube connects to the Google DoubleClick network whether or not you are watching a video.

As soon as you start a YouTube video on this website, YouTube may store various cookies on your device or use similar recognition technologies. These cookies are used to collect information about the visitor’s behavior. This information is used to optimize video functionality and prevent fraud.

The use of YouTube is in the interest of providing an appealing presentation of our online content. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If corresponding consent has been obtained, processing is based exclusively on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g., via device fingerprinting). Consent can be revoked at any time.

For more information about privacy on YouTube, please see their Privacy Policy:
https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

Google is certified under the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (DPF). The DPF is an agreement between the European Union and the USA to ensure compliance with European data protection standards for data processing in the USA. Certified companies commit to adhering to these standards. More information can be found here:

Vimeo also obtains your IP address. However, we have configured Vimeo to not track your user activities and to not set cookies.

The use of Vimeo is in the interest of providing an appealing presentation of our online content. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If corresponding consent has been obtained, processing is based exclusively on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR; consent can be revoked at any time.

The data transfer to the USA is based on the EU Commission’s standard contractual clauses and, according to Vimeo, on “legitimate business interests.” Details can be found here:
