Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

In case of violations of the GDPR, 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 place of the alleged infringement. This right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to have data that we process based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract automatically handed over to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of data to another responsible party, this will only be done if it is technically feasible.

Right to Information, Deletion, and Correction

Within the scope of applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to request free information about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients, and the purpose of the data processing. You may also have a right to correct or delete these data. For further information on personal data, you can contact us at any time using the address provided in the legal notice.

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 using the address provided in the legal notice. The right to restrict processing applies in the following cases:

• If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. During the verification period, 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 to exercise, defend, or establish 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 under Article 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not been determined 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, these data – apart from being stored – may only be processed with your consent or for asserting, exercising, or defending legal claims, or protecting the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a member state.

Cookies from third-party companies may also be stored on your device when you access our site (third-party cookies). These enable us or you to use certain services of the third-party company (e.g., cookies for processing payment services). Cookies serve various functions. 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 evaluate user behavior or display advertisements. Cookies necessary for electronic communication (essential cookies), providing certain functions you desire (functional cookies, e.g., for the shopping cart), or optimizing the website (e.g., cookies to measure web audience) are stored based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies has been requested, the storage of the relevant cookies is based solely on this consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR); consent can be withdrawn at any time. You can set your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies, allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser.

Contact by Email, Phone, or Fax

If you contact us by email, phone, or fax, your inquiry, including all resulting personal data (name, request), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not share this data without your consent. The processing of these data is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR if your request is related to the performance of a contract or necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively handling inquiries addressed to us (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this has been requested. The data sent by you to us via contact inquiries remain with us until you request deletion, withdraw your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage ceases to apply (e.g., after your request has been fully processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – especially statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.
