Storage period
Unless a specific storage period is stated in 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 withdraw your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for retaining your personal data (e.g., statutory retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, deletion will occur once these reasons no longer apply.

General information on the legal bases for data processing on this website
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data based on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR (where special categories of data pursuant to Art. 9(1) GDPR are processed). In the event of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing also takes place based on Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), data processing additionally takes place based on Section 25(1) TDDDG. Consent may be withdrawn at any time. If your data is required for the performance of a contract or to take steps prior to entering into a contract, we process your data based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data where necessary to fulfill a legal obligation, based on Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Data processing may also take place based on our legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The specific legal bases applicable in each individual case are outlined in the following sections of this privacy policy.

Recipients of personal data
We work with various external entities as part of our business operations. In some instances, this requires the transfer of personal data to these external entities. We only disclose personal data to external entities if this is necessary for the performance of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g., transferring data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the disclosure. When engaging data processors, we only transfer our customers' personal data based on a valid data processing agreement. In the event of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Revocation 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 lawfulness 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 OF THE GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. PLEASE REFER TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY FOR THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR IF THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO 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 PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU 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 subsequently no longer be used for the purpose of direct marketing (objection pursuant to Art. 21 para. 2 GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority
In the event 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 exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

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

Access, rectification, and erasure
Subject to applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain information free of charge regarding your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, as well as—where applicable—the right to have this data rectified or erased. You may contact us at any time regarding this or any other questions concerning personal data.

Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time to do so. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:
If you contest the accuracy of the personal data we hold about you, we generally need time to verify this. For the duration of this 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 erasure. If we no longer require your personal data but you need it to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims, you have the right to request a restriction on the processing of your personal data instead of its deletion.
If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of your interests against ours must be carried out. Until it is determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request a restriction on the processing of your personal data.

If the processing of your personal data has been restricted, such data—with the exception of storage—may only be processed with your consent, for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.

SSL or TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content—such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site 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 bar.
When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Objection to promotional emails
We hereby object to the use of contact data published in compliance with legal notice requirements for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and information materials. The site operators expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of unsolicited promotional information being sent, such as via spam emails.

Cookies
Our websites use so-called "cookies." Cookies are small data packets that do not harm your device. They are stored on your device either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or until your web browser automatically deletes them.

Cookies may originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of specific services provided by third-party companies into websites (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 playback). Other cookies may be used to analyze user behavior or for advertising purposes.

Cookies required to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide specific functions you have requested (e.g., the shopping cart function), or to optimize the website (e.g., audience measurement cookies)—referred to as "necessary cookies"—are stored based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of their services. Where consent for the storage of cookies and similar recognition technologies has been requested, processing is based exclusively on that consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG); this consent may be revoked at any time.

You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set and allow them only on a case-by-case basis, to exclude the acceptance of cookies in specific instances or generally, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.

Details regarding any additional cookies and services used on this website can be found in this privacy policy.

Contact Form
If you send us inquiries via the contact form, the information provided in the form—including the contact details you supply—will be stored by us to process your inquiry and handle any follow-up questions. We do not share this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry relates to the performance of a contract or is 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 (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), provided such consent has been requested; consent may be withdrawn at any time.

The data you enter in the contact form remains with us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent for storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your inquiry has been fully processed). Mandatory statutory provisions—particularly retention periods—remain unaffected.

Inquiries via email, telephone, or fax
If you contact us via email, telephone, or fax, your inquiry, including all associated personal data (name, inquiry details), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not pass this data on without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry relates to the performance of a contract or is 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 (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), provided such consent has been requested; consent may be withdrawn at any time.

The data you submit to us via contact inquiries will be retained by us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent for storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been fully processed). Mandatory legal provisions—particularly statutory retention periods—remain unaffected.

5. Social Media
We currently do not have any elements from social media platforms integrated into our website!

6. Plugins and Tools
OpenStreetMap
We use the map service provided by OpenStreetMap (OSM).

We embed map material from OpenStreetMap, hosted on the servers of the OpenStreetMap Foundation (St John’s Innovation Centre, Cowley Road, Cambridge, CB4 0WS, UK). The UK is considered a "safe" third country under data protection law; this means that the UK maintains a level of data protection equivalent to that of the European Union. When using OpenStreetMap maps, a connection is established with the OpenStreetMap Foundation’s servers. In the process, data—including your IP address and information regarding your behavior on this website—may be transmitted to the OSMF. To this end, OpenStreetMap may store cookies in your browser or employ similar recognition technologies.

We use OpenStreetMap to ensure an appealing presentation of our online services and to make it easy to locate the places we list on our website. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Where consent has been requested, processing is based exclusively on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent covers the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's device (e.g., device fingerprinting) as defined by the TDDDG. Consent may be revoked at any time.
