Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke your consent at any time by sending us an informal notification via email. The legality of the data processing carried out up until the revocation remains unaffected.
Right to Object to Data Collection in Specific Cases and Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
If data processing is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis for processing 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 outweigh your interests, rights, and freedoms or the processing serves to establish, 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 to object to the processing of your data for such marketing at any time. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection under Art. 21(2) GDPR).
Right to File a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority
In the event of violations of the GDPR, you have the right to file a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the member state of your habitual residence, place of work, or the location of the alleged infringement. This right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to 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 delivered to you or a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another responsible party, this will only be done to the extent that it is technically feasible.
SSL or TLS Encryption
This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as inquiries you send to us as the website operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change in the address bar of your browser from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock icon in your browser bar.
When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Access, Blocking, Deletion, and Correction
Within the framework of applicable legal provisions, you have the right to free access to your stored personal data, its origin and recipient, and the purpose of the data processing at any time. You also have the right to correct, block, or delete this data. For this and other questions regarding personal data, you can contact us at any time using the address provided in the imprint.
Right to Restrict Processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time using the address provided in the imprint. 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. 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/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
- If we no longer need your personal data but you require it to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of processing instead of deletion.
- If you have objected under Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it is not clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data may only be processed – apart from being stored – with your consent or for the establishment, 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.

The provider of these pages automatically collects and stores information in server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. This data includes:
- Browser type and version
- Operating system used
- Referrer URL

Inquiries via Email, Telephone, or Fax
If you contact us via email, telephone, or fax, your inquiry, including any resulting personal data (e.g., name, inquiry), will be stored and processed for the purpose of handling your request. This data will not be shared without your consent.

Mandatory legal provisions – especially retention periods – remain unaffected.
