General Information about the Legal Bases for Data Processing on This Website
If you have given your consent to data processing, we process your personal data based on Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR if special categories of data are processed pursuant to Article 9(1) GDPR. In the event of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also based on Article 49(1)(a) GDPR.

The relevant legal bases for each case are provided in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.

Recipients of Personal Data
In the course of our business activities, we collaborate with various external entities. This may involve the transmission of personal data to these external entities. We only pass on personal data to external entities if it is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract, if we are legally obligated to do so (e.g., data transfer to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR in the transfer, or if another legal basis allows data transfer. When using data processors, we only pass on personal data of our customers based on a valid contract for data processing. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Withdrawal of Consent for Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke consent you have already given at any time. The legality of data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and Direct Marketing (Article 21 GDPR)

IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ARTICLE 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 AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA, UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS

FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ASSERTION, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 21(1) GDPR).
IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSES OF SUCH MARKETING, INCLUDING PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSES OF DIRECT MARKETING (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 21(2) GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Supervisory Authority
In the event of breaches of the GDPR, data subjects have 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. 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 on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a standard, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible.

Information, Correction, and Deletion
Within the scope of applicable legal provisions, you have the right to free information about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients, and the purpose of data processing, as well as a right to correction or deletion of this data. For this purpose and for further questions about personal data, you can contact us at any time.

Right to Restrict Processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. To do so, you can contact us at any time. The right to restrict processing exists in the following cases:
– If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
– If the processing of your personal data is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
– If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
– If you have objected pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. Until it is determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data may only be used – apart from its storage – with your consent or for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of a major public interest of the European Union or a member state.

SSL or TLS Encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries, that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize 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 line. If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

4. Data Collection on This Website

Cookies
Our website uses so-called „cookies.“ Cookies are small data packets that do not cause any damage to your device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or an automatic deletion by your web browser occurs. Cookies can be set by us (first-party cookies) or by third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies allow certain services from third-party companies to be integrated within websites (e.g., cookies for processing payment services). Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies can be used to analyze user behavior or for advertising purposes.
Cookies that are necessary to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions you desire (e.g., the shopping cart function), or to optimize the website (e.g., cookies for measuring the web audience) are stored based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is given. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent for the storage of cookies and similar technologies is requested, processing will only be carried out on the basis of this consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG); consent can be revoked at any time. You can configure your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when the browser is closed. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted. You can find out which cookies and services are used on this website in this privacy policy.

To manage the use of cookies and similar technologies (tracking pixels, web beacons, etc.), as well as related consents, we employ the consent tool „Real Cookie Banner.“ Details on how „Real Cookie Banner“ works can be found at <a href=“https://devowl.io/de/rcb/datenverarbeitung/“ rel=“noreferrer“ target=“_blank“>https://devowl.io/de/rcb/datenverarbeitung/</a>.

Legal bases for the processing of personal data in this context are Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the management of deployed cookies and similar technologies, as well as related consents.

The provision of personal data is neither contractually required nor necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are not obligated to provide personal data. If you do not provide personal data, we will not be able to manage your consents.

Inquiries via Email, Telephone, or Fax
When you contact us by email, telephone, or fax, your inquiry, including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We will not pass on this data without your consent. The processing of this data is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR if your request is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of inquiries directed to us (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this has been requested; consent can be revoked at any time. The data sent to us by you via contact requests will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for its storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.
