Retraction of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can retract your previously given consent at any time. Just send an informal notification to us by e-mail. The legality of the data processing carried out up to the retraction will remain unaffected by your retraction.

Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct advertising (Art. 21 of the General Data Protection Regulations)

If the data processing being carried out is based on Art. 6, Paras. 1e or 1f of the General Data Protection Regulations, then you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data for reasons arising from your particular situation at any time; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The relevant legal basis on which the processing is based can be found in this data protection declaration. If you lodge an objection, we will no longer process your personal data concerned unless we can prove compelling reasons for protecting the processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms or if the processing is for asserting, exercising or defending legal claims (objection in accordance with Art. 21 Para. 1 of the General Data Protection Regulations).

If your personal data is processed for the purpose of direct advertising, then you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data for the purpose of such advertising at any time; this also applies to profiling in as far as it is connected with such direct advertising. If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection in accordance with Art. 21, Para. 2 of the General Data Protection Regulations).

Right of appeal to the responsible supervisory authority
In the event of infringements of the GDPRs, the persons concerned have the right to appeal to a supervisory authority, especially in the member state of their habitual residence, workplace or place of presumed infringement. The right of appeal will be without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability
You have the right to have any data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request that the data is transferred directly to another responsible person, then this will only be realised to the extent that it is technically feasible.

SSL or TLS encryption
This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the sending of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection when the browser’s address bar changes from “http: //” to “https: //” and the lock icon appears in your browser bar.

When SSL or TLS encryption is activated any data that you send to us cannot be read by third parties.

Information, blocking, deletion and correction
As part of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain free information about your saved personal data, its origin and the recipient as well as the data processing purpose and the right to correcting, blocking or deleting this data as necessary. You can contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice regarding this or any other questions on the subject of your personal data.

Right to restrict the processing
You have the right to request that the processing of your personal data is to be restricted. You can contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice. The right to restrict the processing exists in the following cases:

• If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data that is saved by us, we will usually need time to verify this. You have the right to request that the processing of your personal data is to be restricted for the duration of the verification process.
• If the processing of your personal data has taken place unlawfully, then you may request that the data processing be restricted instead of deleted.
• If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercising, defending or asserting legal claims, then you have the right to demand that the processing of your personal data is restricted instead of deleted.
• If you have lodged an objection under Art. 21, Para. 1 of the GDPR, a balance must be made between your interests and ours. You have the right to request that the processing of your personal data is to be restricted for as long as it remains unclear as to whose interests prevail.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data may not be processed – apart from it being saved – without your consent or for the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal rights or protecting the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest to the European Union or a member state.

Objection to advertising e-mails
We object to the contact data published in the legal notice obligation being used for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and information materials. The operator of this site expressly reserve the right to take legal action against the unsolicited sending of advertising materials such as spam e-mails.

Cookies
Some of the Internet pages use so-called cookies. These cookies will not damage your computer and they do not contain viruses. Cookies are used to make our offers more user-friendly, effective and safer. Cookies are small text files that are saved in your computer by your browser.

The majority of the cookies used by us are so-called “Session cookies”. They will be deleted automatically when you leave out site. Other cookies will remain saved in your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognise your browser when you visit our site again.

You can set up your browser so that you are told about the cookie settings and it will only allow cookies in individual cases, accept cookies for specific events or generally exclude them and activate the automatic cookie deletion process when you close your browser. Deactivating cookies might restrict the functioning of this website.

The saving of cookies that are needed to be able to run the electronic communications process or to provide certain functions that you want to use (e.g. the shopping basket function) is based on Art. 6, Para. 1f of the General Data Protection Regulations. The website operator has a justified interest in saving the cookies in order to ensure technically correct and optimised provision of his services. If other cookies (i.e. cookies that analyse your surfing habits) are also saved, they will be treated separately under this data privacy declaration.

Server log files
The provider of these pages automatically collects and saves information in the so-called server log files, which your browser automatically sends to us. They are:

• Browser type and browser version
• Operating system that you use
• Referrer’s URL
• Host-name of the accessing computer
• Time of the server request
• IP address

This data will not be integrated in other data sources.

The collecting of this data is based on Art. 6, Para. 1 of the General Data Protection Regulations. The website operator has a justified interest in ensuring technically correct and optimised presentation of his website and the server log files have to be recorded specifically for this purpose.

Contact form
If you use the contact form to send us your enquiries, your details from the enquiry form, including the contact details that provided there, will be saved by us so that we can process your enquiry and answer any follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

Processing the data entered in the contact form will be carried out exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6, Para. 1a of the General Data Protection Regulations). You can retract this consent at any time. Just send an informal notification to us by e-mail. The legality of the data processing operations carried out up to the retraction will remain unaffected by the retraction.

The data entered by you in the contact form will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, retract your consent to it being saved or if the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (i.e. after your request has been processed). Obligatory statutory provisions, especially the retention periods, will remain unaffected.

Enquiries via e-mail, telephone or fax
If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, your request including all personal data (name & enquiry) will be saved and processed by us for the sole purpose of processing your request. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

Processing this data is based on Art. 6, Para. 1b of the General Data Protection Regulations, provided that your enquiry is related to the fulfilling of a contract or is needed to implement pre-contractual measures. In all other cases the processing will be based on your consent (Art. 6, Para. 1a of the General Data Protection Regulations) and/or on our legitimate interests (Art. 6, Para. 1f of the General Data Protection Regulations), as we have a legitimate interest in effectively processing the enquiries sent to us.

The data that you sent to us as contact enquiries will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, retract your consent to it being saved or if the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (i.e. after your request has been processed). Obligatory statutory provisions, especially the legal retention periods, will remain unaffected.
