Right of complaint to the responsible supervisory authority

In the event of infringements 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. The right to complain shall be without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.

Right to data portability

You have the right to receive the data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, in a common, machine-readable format, either for yourself or for a third party. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another responsible party, this will only occur to the extent that it is technically feasible.

Right to restrict processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us for this at any time. The right to restrict processing exists in the following cases:

  • If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we generally need time to verify it. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
  • If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
  • If you have lodged an objection under Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, a balancing of your interests and our interests must be carried out. As long as it is not yet 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—apart from its storage—only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense 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.

Our websites use so-called “cookies.“ Cookies are small data packets and cause no damage to your end device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies) on your end device. Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Persistent cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them yourself or automatic deletion occurs through your web browser.

Cookies can originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services from third-party companies within websites (e.g., cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies have various functions. Numerous cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or video playback). Other cookies can be used to analyze user behavior or for advertising purposes.

The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent has been requested for the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies, the processing will be carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TDDDG); the consent can be revoked at any time.
