If you have given consent for data processing, we process your personal data based on Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) of the GDPR, if special categories of data are processed under Article 9(1) of the GDPR.

Recipients of Personal Data
As part of our business activities, we work with various external parties. In some cases, it is necessary to transfer personal data to these external parties. We only share personal data with external parties when this is required for contract fulfillment, when we are legally obligated to do so (e.g., disclosure of data to tax authorities), when we have a legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR in sharing the data, or when another legal basis permits the data transfer. When using processors, we only share personal data of our clients based on a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement will be 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 lawfulness of the data processing carried out up to the point of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
If the data processing is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the 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 is provided 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 the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection under Article 21(1) of the GDPR).
If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal 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 Article 21(2) of the GDPR).
Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority
In the event of violations of the GDPR, the data subject has the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of their habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to Data Portability
You have the right to receive the data we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.
Right to Information, Correction, and Deletion
Within the scope of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients, and the purpose of processing, and, if applicable, the right to correction or deletion of this data. For this and any other 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 processing your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:
- If you dispute 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 your personal data.
- If the processing of your personal data is unlawful, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
- If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data instead of deletion.
- If you have filed an objection under Article 21(1) of the GDPR, a balance must be made between your and our interests. As long as it is not clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data – except for storage – may only be processed 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 significant public interest of the European Union or a member state.

Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit. Permanent cookies remain on your device until you delete them yourself or they are automatically deleted by your web browser.
Cookies can be from us (first-party cookies) or from third parties (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services from third-party providers within websites (e.g., cookies for payment services).

The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent for the storage of cookies and similar recognition technologies has been requested, processing is carried out solely based on that consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and § 25(1) TDDG); consent can be withdrawn at any time.
You can configure your browser to be notified about the setting of cookies, allow cookies only in specific cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or generally, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser.
