The responsible party is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of processing personal data, such as names or email addresses.
Storage period
Unless a more specific storage period is stated in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for processing the data no longer applies.
If you make a legitimate request for deletion or withdraw your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for retaining it, such as tax or commercial retention obligations. In such cases, deletion will take place after those reasons no longer apply.
General information on the legal basis for data processing
Where you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR where special categories of personal data are processed.
Where you have expressly consented to the transfer of personal data to third countries, processing is also based on Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR.
Where you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your device, processing is additionally based on § 25(1) TDDDG. Consent may be withdrawn at any time.
If your data is necessary for the performance of a contract or for carrying out pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.
We may also process your data where this is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation, on the basis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.
Data processing may also be based on our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
The specific legal basis applicable in each individual case is explained in the relevant sections of this privacy policy.
Recipients of personal data
As part of our business activities, we work with various external parties. In some cases, this requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties.
We only disclose personal data to external parties where this is necessary for the performance of a contract, where we are legally required to do so, where we have a legitimate interest in the disclosure under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or where another legal basis permits the transfer.
Where we use data processors, we only provide personal data on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. Where joint processing takes place, an agreement on joint processing is concluded.
Withdrawal of consent
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may withdraw consent that you have already given at any time.
The lawfulness of data processing carried out before the withdrawal remains unaffected.
Right to object to data collection in specific cases and to direct marketing
If data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(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 applicable 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 override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.
If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such marketing purposes. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing.
Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
In the event of violations of the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement.
This right exists without prejudice to 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 fulfilment of a contract provided 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 controller, this will only take place where technically feasible.
Access, correction and deletion
Within the framework of applicable law, you have the right at any time to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing.
Where applicable, you also have the right to request correction or deletion of this data.
You may contact us at any time regarding these and other questions concerning personal data.
Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.
This right applies, among other cases, where:
- you dispute the accuracy of your personal data and we need time to verify it;
- the processing of your personal data is unlawful and you request restriction instead of deletion;
- we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims;
- you have objected to processing under Art. 21(1) GDPR and it has not yet been determined whose interests override the other.
Where processing has been restricted, your data may, apart from storage, only be processed with your consent, for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims, to protect the rights of another person or legal entity, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

The data you send to us through contact enquiries will remain with us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies, for example once your enquiry has been fully processed.
