DATA PROTECTION

Privacy policy

The controller, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g. names, contact details, etc.).

Withdrawing your consent to data processing

Some data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time. An informal e-mail message is sufficient for the withdrawal. The legality of the data processing carried out until the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

As the data subject, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority in the event of a breach of data protection law. The competent supervisory authority concerning questions of data protection law is the State Data Protection Commissioner of the German federal state in which our company's registered office is located. The following link provides a list of data protection officers and their contact details: https://www.bfdi.bund.de/DE/Infothek/Anschriften_Links/anschriften_links-node.html.

Right to data portability

You are entitled to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract handed over to you or to third parties. The data will be provided in a machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done if technically feasible.

Right to access, rectification, blocking, erasure

Within the scope of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free access to your stored personal data, the origin of the data, their recipients and the purpose of the data processing and, if applicable, a right to rectification, blocking or erasure of this data. In this regard and also for further questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at any time via the contact options listed in the legal notice.

SSL or TLS encryptions

For security reasons and to protect the transfer of confidential content that you send to us as site operator, our website uses SSL or TLS encryption. This means that data you transmit via this website cannot be read by third parties. You will recognise an encrypted connection by the "https://" address line of your browser and the lock symbol in the browser line.
