Unless a specific storage duration has been stated within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you make a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted, provided there are no other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial law retention periods).

General Information on the Legal Basis for Data Processing on This Website
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR if special categories of data according to Art. 9(1) GDPR are processed.

Data processing may also be based on our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The relevant legal basis for each individual case is explained in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.
Notice on Data Transfer to the USA and Other Third Countries
We use tools from companies based in the USA or other countries that are not considered to have secure data protection levels. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these third countries. Please note that in these countries, an EU-comparable level of data protection cannot be guaranteed. For instance, U.S. companies are required to disclose personal data to security authorities without the possibility of legal recourse for you as the data subject. It is therefore possible that U.S. authorities (e.g., intelligence services) could process, analyze, and permanently store your data located on U.S. servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence over these processing activities.
Withdrawal 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 legality of data processing carried out prior to the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
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 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 RELEVANT LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA CONCERNED 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 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; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).
Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority
In the event of GDPR violations, data subjects 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 infringement. This right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
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 the data to another responsible party, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible.
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 website operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser's address line changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser’s address bar.
When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Information, Deletion, and Correction
Under applicable law, you have the right to obtain, at any time and free of charge, information about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients, and the purpose of data processing, and, if applicable, a right to have this data corrected or deleted. For this purpose, and for further questions regarding personal data, you may 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 may contact us at any time regarding this. The right to restrict processing applies 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 the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data was or is unlawful, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
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 the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of interests between yours and ours must be carried out. As long as it is not yet 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, such data may only be processed – aside from storage – 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 significant public interest of the European Union or a member state.
Objection to advertising emails
The use of contact data published in accordance with the legal obligation to provide an imprint for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and informational materials is hereby objected to. The operators of the sites expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam emails.

YouTube with enhanced privacy
This website integrates videos from YouTube. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
We use YouTube in enhanced privacy mode. According to YouTube, this mode ensures that YouTube does not store information about visitors to this website before they watch the video. However, the enhanced privacy mode does not necessarily exclude the sharing of data with YouTube partners. Therefore, YouTube establishes a connection to the Google DoubleClick network regardless of whether you watch a video.
Once you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection to YouTube's servers is established. The YouTube server is informed about which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, YouTube can directly associate your browsing behavior with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.
Furthermore, YouTube may store various cookies on your device or use similar recognition technologies (e.g., device fingerprinting) after starting a video. This allows YouTube to obtain information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve user experience, and prevent fraudulent attempts.
Additional data processing operations may be triggered after starting a YouTube video, over which we have no control.
The use of YouTube serves the purpose of providing an engaging presentation of our online offerings. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. If consent has been requested, processing will occur solely based on Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDG, as long as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's device (e.g., device fingerprinting) in accordance with the TDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

Google Web Fonts
This page uses so-called web fonts provided by Google to ensure a uniform display of fonts. When you access a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into its browser cache to correctly display texts and fonts.
To do this, the browser you are using must establish a connection to Google's servers. This allows Google to become aware that this website has been accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web Fonts is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the uniform presentation of the font appearance on their website. If consent has been requested, processing will occur solely based on Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDG, as long as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's device (e.g., device fingerprinting) in accordance with the TDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time.
If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font from your computer will be used.
