Many aspects of data processing are only possible with your express consent. Any consent provided may be withdrawn at any time. You just need to send us an e-mail to that effect. This does not affect the legality of the data processing that occurred prior to such withdrawal of consent.
Right to object in particular cases and to direct marketing (Article 21 GDPR)
You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions. The particular legal grounds on which any processing is based are provided in this data privacy statement.

Right to data portability
You have the right to receive, or to have a third party receive, the data we have automatically processed on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. Where you request the direct transmission of the personal data to another controller, this shall only occur where it is technically feasible.
SSL or TLS encryption
This page uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect transfers of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries you send us as the website operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser address line changes from http:// to https:// and by the padlock symbol in your browser line.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, data that you send us cannot be read by third parties.
Information, blocking, erasure and rectification
Under the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right at any time to free information on your stored personal data, their source and recipients and the purpose for which the data are processed and, where relevant, a right to have these data rectified, blocked or erased.

Right to the restriction of processing
You have the right to request a restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us about this at any time using the address provided in the legal information. The right to the restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
If you contest the accuracy of the personal data stored with us, we normally require time to check this. While this is being checked, you are entitled to request a restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If your personal data were or are being processed unlawfully, you may request a restriction of the data processing instead of their erasure.
If we no longer need your personal data but you require them for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, you are entitled to request a restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of their erasure.
Where you have lodged an objection under Article 21(1) GDPR, your interests must be balanced against ours. Until it is ascertained whose interests prevail, you have the right to request a restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such personal data shall, with the exception of storage, only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.

3. Data collection on our website
Cookies
Internet pages sometimes use “cookies”. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies make our website more user-friendly, efficient and safer. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and which your browser saves.
Most of the cookies we use are “session cookies”. They are automatically deleted when you leave the site. Other cookies remain stored on your terminal device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognise your browser when you next visit.
You can set up your browser in such a way that you are notified of cookie settings and that cookies are allowed in individual cases, accepted for specific cases or generally excluded and such that the cookies are automatically deleted when your browser closes. When cookies are deactivated, this may restrict the functionality of this website.
Cookies that are necessary for electronic communications or to make certain functions available that you have requested (e.g. shopping basket) are stored based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Website operators have a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies to ensure their services are properly provided free of technical faults. Where other cookies (e.g. cookies analysing your browsing behaviour) are stored, these are treated separately in this data privacy statement.
Server log files
The website provider collects and automatically stores information in “server log files” which your browser automatically sends us. These are:
browser type and browser version
operating system used
referrer URL
host name of the accessing computer
time of the server request
IP address
This data is not combined with other data sources.
These data are collected under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Website operators have a legitimate interest in the smooth operation and optimisation of their websites and to this end server log files need to be recorded.
Contact options
On our webpage we offer you the options of contacting us by e-mail and/or via a contact form or order form. This entails the storage of information provided by the user in order that his/her contact request can be processed. It is not shared with third parties. Neither is any comparison done of data collected in this way with data that may be collected by other of our website’s components.
Processing of data (client and contract data)
We collect, process and use personal data only where these are required to establish, provide the content of or amend the legal relationship (inventory data). This is done on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) which permits the processing of data for the performance of a contract or in order to take steps prior to entry into a contract. We only collect, process and use personal data on the use of our webpages (usage data) where this is necessary to enable the user to access the service or for invoicing purposes.
The client data collected will be deleted once the assignment is completed or the commercial relationship ends. This is without prejudice to statutory retention periods.

Google reCAPTCHA
We use “Google reCAPTCHA” (“reCAPTCHA”) on our website. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”).
reCAPTCHA should check whether data input on our website (e.g. in a contact form) is done by a person or by an automated program. To that end reCAPTCHA analyses the behaviour of the visitor to the website using a series of criteria. This analysis commences automatically, as soon as the visitor accesses the website. ReCAPTCHA examines various items of information for the purpose of the analysis (e.g. IP address, length of time the visitor spends on the website or mouse movements made by the user). The data captured during the analysis are forwarded to Google.
The reCAPTCHA analyses run completely in the background. Visitors to the website are not alerted to the fact that an analysis is being done.
These data are processed under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting the web pages against any abusive automated spying and against spam.
Further information about Google reCAPTCHA and Google’s data privacy statement is available via the following links https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and https://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/android.html.
5. Data security
We are completely committed within the confines of the applicable data protection laws and available technical resources to keeping your data secure.
To protect your data, we implement technical and organisational measures under Article 32 GDPR which we constantly update in line with the latest technological developments.
However, we do not guarantee that our website will be available at specific times, nor can we rule out the possibility of outages, interruptions and computer failures.
6. Amendments to this data privacy statement
We reserve the right to amend this data privacy statement in order to bring it into line with any change in the legal position or where there are changes to the service or to the data processing. This applies only in relation to statements regarding the data processing, however. Where consents are required from users or provisions of the contractual relationship with the users are contained in elements of the data privacy statement, amendments shall occur only with the consent of the users.
Users are requested to regularly familiarise themselves with the content of the data privacy statement.
