WITHDRAWAL OF YOUR CONSENT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR DATA
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time. Sending us an informal notification by e-mail is sufficient for this purpose. The legality of the data processing already performed will remain unaffected by your withdrawal.
RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE COLLECTION OF DATA IN SPECIAL CASES AND TO DIRECT ADVERTISING (ARTICLE 21 GDPR)
If the data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 Section 1 (e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right at any time to object to the processing of your personal data 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 lodge an objection, we will no longer process your relevant personal data unless we can prove compelling legitimate reasons for the processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims (objection on the basis of Art. 21 Section 1 GDPR). If your personal data is processed for the purpose of direct advertising, you have the right to object to such processing at any time; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is connected with such direct advertising. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection according to Art. 21 Section 2 GDPR).
RIGHT TO LODGE A COMPLAINT WITH THE RESPONSIBLE SUPERVISORY AUTHORITY
In the event of infringements of the GDPR, the persons concerned shall have the right to appeal to a supervisory authority, particularly in the member state of their habitual residence, workplace or place of presumed infringement. The right of complaint exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
RIGHT TO DATA PORTABILITY
You have the right to demand that any data we automatically process on the basis of your consent or in order to fulfil a contract be handed over to you or a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. Should you demand the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will be done only if it is technically feasible.
SSL OR TLS ENCRYPTION
This site uses SSL and/or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as the orders or enquiries you send to us as the website operator. You can recognise 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 bar. If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transfer to us cannot be read by third parties.
ACCESS, BLOCKING, ERASURE AND RECTIFICATION
As permitted by law, you have the right to be provided with information free of charge at any time about any of your personal data that is stored as well as its origin and recipient and the purpose for which it has been processed, and you also have the right to have such data rectified, blocked or erased, if applicable. If you have further questions on this or on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at the address given in our legal notice at any time.
RIGHT TO RESTRICTION OF PROCESSING
You have the right to demand that the processing of your personal data be restricted. To do this, you can contact us at the address given in our legal notice at any time. The right to restrict the processing is given in the following cases:
- If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we generally need time to verify this. During the period of verification, you have the right to demand that the processing of your personal data be restricted.
- If the processing of your personal data has taken / is taking place unlawfully, you can demand the restriction of data processing instead of data deletion.
- If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercising, defence or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
- If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 Section 1 GDPR, both your interests and our interests must be weighed. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests predominate, you have the right to demand that the processing of your personal data be restricted.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data may not be processed – apart from its storage – without your consent or for the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal rights or protecting the rights of another individual or legal entity or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or a member state.
