If you submit a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., retention periods required by tax or commercial law). In the latter case, deletion will occur after these reasons no longer apply.
General Information on the Legal Basis for Data Processing on This Website
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data based on Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9 (2)(a) GDPR, insofar as special categories of data under Art. 9 (1) GDPR are processed.

The relevant legal basis in each individual case is explained in the following sections of this privacy policy.
Note on Data Transfers to Non-Secure Third Countries and to US Companies Not Certified Under the DPF
We use, among other things, tools provided by companies based in countries outside the EU or the European Economic Area (EEA) where data protection laws may not provide the same level of protection as the GDPR.
We also use US-based providers that are not certified under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in those countries. Please note that in such non-secure third countries, a level of data protection comparable to that in the EU cannot be guaranteed.The United States is generally considered a secure third country, provided the recipient is certified under the EU–US Data Privacy Framework (DPF) or provides suitable additional safeguards. For information on data transfers to third countries, including the recipients of such data, please refer to this privacy policy.
Recipients of Personal Data
In the course of our business activities, we work with various external parties. This may involve the transfer of personal data to such parties. We only share personal data with external entities if this is required for the performance of a contract, if we are legally obligated to do so (e.g., transfer of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest under Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits such transfer. When using processors, we transfer personal data only on the basis of a valid Data Processing Agreement (DPA). In the case of joint processing, a Joint Controllership Agreement is concluded.
Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing
Many data-processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected.
Right to Object to Processing in Specific Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
If data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right, at any time and for reasons arising from your particular situation, to object to the processing of your personal data; 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 personal data concerned unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms or if the processing serves to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR).
If your personal data are processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR).
Right to Lodge a Complaint with a Supervisory Authority
In the event of a breach of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. This right exists without prejudice to any 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 handed over to yourself 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 be done if technically feasible.
Right of Access, Rectification, and Erasure
Within the scope of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to receive information free of charge about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing. You also have the right to request the rectification or erasure of this data. For this and for any further questions concerning personal data, you may contact us at any time.
Right to Restriction of Processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction applies in the following cases:
- If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. During the verification period, you have the right to request restriction of processing.
- If the processing of your personal data was or is unlawful, you may request restriction instead of erasure.
- If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims, you may request restriction instead of deletion.
- If you have objected under Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balancing of interests must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of processing.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data may – apart from 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 a Member State.
