If you have given your consent to data processing, we process your personal data based on Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and, if special categories of data are processed under Article 9(1) GDPR, based on Article 9(2)(a) GDPR. In the case of explicit consent to transfer personal data to third countries, data processing also occurs on the basis of Article 49(1)(a) GDPR.

Data processing may also occur based on our legitimate interests according to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The specific legal bases applicable in each case are explained in the following sections of this privacy policy.
Recipients of Personal Data
In the course of our business activities, we work with various external entities. In some cases, it is also necessary to transfer personal data to these external entities. We only share personal data with external parties if this is necessary for fulfilling a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g., forwarding data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in sharing data according to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the data transfer. When using order processors, we only share personal data of our customers based on a valid processing agreement. In cases of joint processing, a contract on joint processing is concluded.
Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke any consent already given at any time. The legality of data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected by your revocation.
Right to object to data collection in specific cases and against direct advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)
If the data processing is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right at any time to object to the processing of your personal data for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The specific legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy policy. 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 if the processing serves to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims (objection under Art. 21(1) GDPR).
If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right at any time to object to the processing of your personal data for such advertising; this also applies to profiling related to such direct advertising.

The right to complain is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to data portability
You have the right to receive data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, in a common, machine-readable format, and to transmit this data to yourself or to a third party. If you request direct transfer of data to another responsible party, this will only be done if technically feasible.
Right to access, rectification, and deletion
Within the scope of applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of processing.

Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restrict processing applies in the following cases:
- If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. During the verification period, you have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data.
- If the processing of your personal data was unlawful/is unlawful, you can request restriction instead of deletion.
- If we no longer need your personal data but you require it to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you have the right to request restriction instead of deletion.
- If you have lodged an objection under Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of interests between your interests and ours must be carried out. Until it is determined whose interests outweigh, you have the right to request restriction of processing your personal data.
When you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data—apart from their storage—may only be processed with your consent or for asserting, exercising, or defending legal claims; to protect the rights of another natural or legal person; or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or a member state.

Our websites use so-called "cookies." Cookies are small data packets that do not harm your device. They are stored either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Persistent cookies remain on your device until you delete them yourself or they are automatically deleted by your web browser.
Cookies can originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services from third parties within websites (e.g., cookies for processing payment services).
Cookies serve various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or video display). Other cookies can be used to analyze user behavior or for advertising purposes.
Cookies necessary for conducting electronic communication, providing certain functions you desire (e.g., shopping cart function), or optimizing the website (e.g., measuring web audience) (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 for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent has been obtained for storing cookies and similar recognition technologies, processing is carried out solely based on this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDG); consent can be revoked at any time.

5. Social Media
Social Media Elements with Shariff
This website uses elements from social media platforms (e.g., Facebook, X, Instagram, Pinterest, XING, LinkedIn, Tumblr).
You can usually recognize these social media elements by their respective logos. To ensure data protection on this website, we only use these elements together with the so-called "Shariff" solution. This application prevents the social media elements integrated into this website from transmitting your personal data to the respective provider when you first visit the site.
Only when you activate a social media element by clicking on the associated button is a direct connection to the provider's server established (consent). Once you activate a social media element, the respective provider receives information that you have visited this website with your IP address. If you are also logged into your respective social media account (e.g., Facebook), the provider can assign your visit to your user account.
Activating the plugin constitutes consent within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDG. You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future.
The use of this service is intended to obtain legally required consents for using certain technologies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.

This allows us, among other things, to find out when certain pages were viewed and from which region they originate.

The use of this analysis tool is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior to optimize both its web offerings and advertising. If a corresponding consent has been obtained, processing is carried out solely based on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of TDDG. The consent can be revoked at any time.
IP Anonymization
When analyzing with Matomo, we use IP anonymization. This means that your IP address is shortened before analysis so that it can no longer be assigned to you personally.
