If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted, provided we have no other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the deletion occurs once these reasons no longer apply.

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

  • If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.

Our websites use “cookies.” Cookies are small data packets that do not harm 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 your visit. Permanent cookies remain on your device until you delete them or they are automatically deleted by your web browser.

Cookies can be from us (first-party cookies) or from third parties (third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of specific services from third parties within websites (e.g., cookies for payment processing).

Cookies serve different functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or video display). Other cookies may be used to analyze user behavior or for advertising purposes.

Necessary cookies, required for electronic communication, to provide certain functions you desire (e.g., shopping cart function), or to optimize the website (e.g., cookies for measuring web traffic), are stored based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR unless a different legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for a technically error-free and optimized provision of services. If consent has been requested for storing cookies and similar recognition technologies, processing is based exclusively on this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG); consent can be revoked at any time.

You can set your browser to notify you about cookie placement, allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, exclude cookies for certain cases, or generally disable cookies and enable automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Disabling cookies may restrict the functionality of this website.

Contact Form

When you submit inquiries via the contact form, the information you provide in the form, including your contact details, is stored by us for processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. This data is not shared without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 (1) (b) of the GDPR if your inquiry is related to fulfilling a contract or required for pre-contractual actions. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR), if requested; consent can be withdrawn at any time.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage ceases (e.g., after your inquiry has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – especially retention periods – remain unaffected.
