Recipients of Personal Data

In the course of our business activities, we work with various external parties. In some cases, this also requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only disclose personal data to external parties if this is necessary for the performance of a contract, if we are legally obliged 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 disclosure, or if another legal basis permits the data transfer. When using processors, we disclose personal data of our customers only on the basis of a valid Data Processing Agreement.

In the case of joint processing, an agreement on joint processing is concluded.

Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express Consent. You may withdraw Consent that has already been given at any time. The lawfulness of data processing carried out before the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

The 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 on the basis of your Consent or in performance of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another Data Controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.

You have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

  • If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data.
  • If the processing of your personal data was or is unlawful, you may request restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defence or establishment of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
  • If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data.

SSL or TLS Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise 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 line.

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

Encrypted Payment Transactions on This Website

If, after the conclusion of a paid contract, there is an obligation to transmit your payment data to us, e.g. account number in the case of direct debit authorisation, this data is required for payment processing.

Payment transactions via common payment methods, Visa/MasterCard, direct debit, are carried out exclusively via an encrypted SSL or TLS connection. You can recognise 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 line.

In the case of encrypted communication, your payment data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
