organization, structuring, storage, adaptation, alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by
transmission, dissemination, or otherwise making available, alignment, or combination, restriction, erasure, or
destruction performed on personal data, whether by automated means or not.

The following privacy policy is intended to inform you in particular about the type, scope, purpose, duration,
and legal basis for the processing of such data either under our own control or in conjunction with others. We
also inform you below about the third-party components we use to optimize our website and improve the user
experience which may result in said third parties also processing data they collect and control.

II. The rights of users and data subjects

With regard to the data processing to be described in more detail below, users and data subjects have the right

  • to confirmation of whether data concerning them is being processed, information about the data being
    processed, further information about the nature of the data processing, and copies of the data (cf. also
    Art. 15 GDPR);
  • to correct or complete incorrect or incomplete data (cf. also Art. 16 GDPR);
  • to the immediate deletion of data concerning them (cf. also Art. 17 DSGVO), or, alternatively, if further
    processing is necessary as stipulated in Art. 17 Para. 3 GDPR, to restrict said processing per Art. 18 GDPR;
  • to receive copies of the data concerning them and/or provided by them and to have the same transmitted to
    other providers/controllers (cf. also Art. 20 GDPR);
  • to file complaints with the supervisory authority if they believe that data concerning them is being
    processed by the controller in breach of data protection provisions (see also Art. 77 GDPR).

In addition, the controller is obliged to inform all recipients to whom it discloses data of any such
corrections, deletions, or restrictions placed on processing the same per Art. 16, 17 Para. 1, 18 GDPR. However,
this obligation does not apply if such notification is impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.
Nevertheless, users have a right to information about these recipients.

Likewise, under Art. 21 GDPR, users and data subjects have the right to object to the controller’s future
processing of their data pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. In particular, an objection to data
processing for the purpose of direct advertising is permissible.

We use cookies on our website. Cookies are small text files or other storage technologies stored on your computer
by your browser. These cookies process certain specific information about you, such as your browser, location
data, or IP address.  

This processing makes our website more user-friendly, efficient, and secure, allowing us, for example, to display
our website in different languages or to offer a shopping cart function.

The legal basis for such processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b) GDPR, insofar as these cookies are used to collect
data to initiate or process contractual relationships.

If the processing does not serve to initiate or process a contract, our legitimate interest lies in improving the
functionality of our website. The legal basis is then Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR.

browser you use. If you have any questions, please use the help function or consult the documentation for your
