Recipients of personal data

As part of our business activities, we work with various external parties. This may also require the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only share personal data with external parties if it is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract, if we are legally obligated to do so (e.g., disclosure of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR in the transfer, or if another legal basis permits the data transfer. When using processors, we only transfer our customers’ personal data on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the case 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 explicit consent. You can revoke any consent you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out up to the point of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to object to data collection in specific cases and to direct advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)

If the data processing is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right at any time, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to object to the processing of your personal data; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The specific legal basis on which the processing is based can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your affected personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection according to Art. 21(1) GDPR).

If your personal data is processed for the purpose of direct advertising, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for such advertising purposes; this also applies to profiling, insofar as it is related to such direct advertising.

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, especially in the member state of their habitual residence, place of work, or the location of the alleged violation. This right to complain is without prejudice to any 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 to fulfill a contract, either to yourself 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.

Information, correction, and deletion

You have the right, within the applicable legal provisions, at any time to receive free information about your stored personal data, their origin, recipients, and the purpose of data processing, as well as, if applicable, the right to correction or deletion of this data. For this purpose, and for further questions regarding personal data, you can contact us at any time.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data under the applicable legal provisions. This means that your data will only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a member state.

• If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we generally 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 have the right to request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
• If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we generally 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 you have requested the restriction of the processing of your personal data, these data – apart from their storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a member state.

5. Analysis Tools and Advertising

Google Analytics

This website uses features of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

Google Analytics allows the website operator to analyze the behavior of website visitors. In doing so, the website operator receives various usage data, such as page views, duration of stay, operating systems used, and the user’s origin. This data is assigned to the respective user’s device. No assignment to a user ID takes place.

Furthermore, with Google Analytics, we can record your mouse movements, scrolling behavior, and clicks. Additionally, Google Analytics uses various modeling approaches to supplement the collected data sets and employs machine learning technologies in data analysis.

Google Analytics uses technologies that enable the recognition of users for the purpose of analyzing user behavior (e.g., cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google about the use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

The use of this service is based on your consent according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 Para. 1 TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

The data transfer to the USA is based on the Standard Contractual Clauses of the European Commission. You can find details here: https://privacy.google.com/businesses/controllerterms/mccs/.

Further information can be obtained from the provider at the following link: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/participant/5780.

Google Analytics IP anonymization is activated. As a result, your IP address is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity, and to provide other services related to website and internet usage to the website operator. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data from Google.
