The legality of data processing carried out up to the point of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

If you request the direct transfer of the data to another responsible person, this will only be done if it is technically feasible.

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 address line of the browser changes from „http://“ to „https://“ and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Encrypted payment transactions on this website
If there is an obligation to provide us with your payment information (e.g. account number for direct debit) after concluding a paid contract, this data is required for payment processing.

Payment transactions via the usual payment methods (Visa/MasterCard, direct debit) are carried out exclusively via an encrypted SSL or TLS connection. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from „http://“ to „https://“ and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

Cookies
Some of the internet pages use so-called cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain any viruses. Cookies are used to make our website more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.

Most of the cookies we use are so-called „session cookies.“ They are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser on your next visit.

You can set your browser to notify you about the setting of cookies and to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be limited.

Cookies that are necessary to carry out the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions that you have requested (e.g. shopping cart function) are stored based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If other cookies (e.g. cookies for analyzing your browsing behavior) are stored, they will be treated separately in this privacy policy.

Storage of the IP address
Our comment function stores the IP addresses of users who write comments. Since we do not check comments on our site before they are published, we need this data to be able to take action against the author in the event of legal violations such as insults or propaganda.

Subscribing to comments
As a user of the site, you can subscribe to comments after registering. You will receive a confirmation email to verify that you are the owner of the specified email address. You can unsubscribe from this function at any time using a link in the info emails. The data entered as part of subscribing to comments will be deleted in this case; if you have transmitted this data to us for other purposes and at another location (e.g. newsletter subscription), it will remain with us.

Storage duration of comments
The comments and the associated data (e.g. IP address) are stored and remain on our website until the content commented on has been completely deleted or the comments must be deleted for legal reasons (e.g. insulting comments).

Legal basis

The storage of comments is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke your consent at any time. An informal email notification to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

Processing of data (customer and contract data)
We only collect, process and use personal data to the extent that it is necessary for the establishment, content-related design or change of the legal relationship (inventory data). This is done on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfillment of a contract or pre-contractual measures. We only collect, process and use personal data about the use of our website (usage data) to the extent that this is necessary to enable or bill the user for the use of the service.

The customer data collected will be deleted after completion of the order or termination of the business relationship. Legal retention periods remain unaffected.

Data transmission during contract conclusion for services and digital content
We only transmit personal data to third parties if it is necessary for the processing of the contract, such as to the credit institution commissioned with payment processing. Further transmission of data will not take place or will only take place if you have expressly consented to the transmission. Your data will not be passed on to third parties without your express consent, such as for advertising purposes.

The legal basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.
