3. General Information and Mandatory Disclosures
Data Protection
The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with applicable data protection regulations and this privacy policy.
We note that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., communication by email) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against third-party access is not possible.
Storage Duration
Unless a more specific storage period 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 assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial law retention periods).
Legal Bases for Data Processing
Where we obtain consent for processing personal data, Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis. For data processing necessary for the performance of a contract, Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. For processing necessary to comply with a legal obligation, Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR applies. Processing based on our legitimate interest is covered by Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
Recipients of Personal Data
In the course of our business activities, we work with various external parties. In some cases, the transfer of personal data to these external parties is necessary. We only disclose personal data to external parties if it is required for contract fulfillment, if we are legally obligated to do so, if we have a legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the disclosure.
Your Rights
Right to revoke consent: You can revoke any consent you have given at any time. The lawfulness of processing carried out prior to the revocation remains unaffected.
Right to object (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. 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 to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims.
Right to lodge a complaint: 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, their place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement.
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.
Right to information, correction, and deletion: You have the right at any time to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, and, where applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data.
