Data protection
The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the applicable data protection legislation and this Privacy Policy.
When you use this website, various items of personal data are collected. Personal data means data by which you can be personally identified. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.
Please note that data transmission over the internet (e.g. when communicating by email) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
Storage period
Unless a more specific storage period has been specified in this Privacy Policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for processing the data no longer applies. If you exercise a legitimate request for erasure or withdraw your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible grounds for storing your personal data (e.g. tax or commercial retention periods); in the latter case, the data will be deleted once these grounds no longer apply.
General information on the legal bases for data processing on this website
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR, insofar as special categories of personal data are processed pursuant to Article 9(1) GDPR. Where you have expressly consented to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also based on Article 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), data processing is additionally based on Section 25(1) TDDDG. Consent may be withdrawn at any time. If your data is required for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. We also process your data where this is necessary to comply with a legal obligation on the basis of Article 6(1)(c) GDPR. Data processing may also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Information on the specific legal basis applicable in each individual case is provided in the following sections of this Privacy Policy.
Recipients of personal data
In the course of our business activities, we work with various external parties. In some cases, this also requires us to transfer personal data to these external parties. We only disclose personal data to external parties where this is necessary for the performance of a contract, where we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. disclosure of data to tax authorities), where we have a legitimate interest in disclosure pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, or where another legal basis permits the disclosure of the data. Where we use data processors, we disclose our customers' personal data only on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. Where data is processed jointly, a joint controllership agreement is concluded.
SSL/TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the website operator, this site uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the browser address changing from "http://" to "https://" and by the padlock symbol appearing in your browser's address bar.
When SSL/TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Cookies
Our websites use so-called "cookies". Cookies are small data packages and do not cause any damage to your device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted when you leave the website. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or they are automatically deleted by your web browser.
Cookies may be placed by us (first-party cookies) or by third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable certain services provided by third parties to be integrated into websites (e.g. cookies used to process payment services).

The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services. Where consent has been requested for the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG); consent may be withdrawn at any time.
You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set and to allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, to reject cookies in certain cases or generally, and to enable the automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website.
You can find details of which cookies and services are used on this website in this Privacy Policy.

The processing of this data is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR if your enquiry is related to the performance 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 effectively handling enquiries addressed to us (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR), where this has been requested; consent may be withdrawn at any time.
The data you enter into the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent to its storage or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. once your enquiry has been fully processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

7. Newsletter
Newsletter data
If you wish to subscribe to the newsletter offered on the website, we require your email address and information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. No additional data is collected, or only on a voluntary basis. We use newsletter service providers to distribute our newsletters, as described below.

This website uses CleverReach to send newsletters. The provider is CleverReach GmbH & Co. KG, Schafjückenweg 2, 26180 Rastede, Germany (hereinafter "CleverReach"). CleverReach is a service that can be used to organise and analyse newsletter distribution. The data you enter when subscribing to the newsletter (e.g. your email address) is stored on CleverReach's servers in Germany and/or Ireland.
Our newsletters sent via CleverReach enable us to analyse the behaviour of newsletter recipients. Among other things, this allows us to analyse how many recipients opened the newsletter and how often individual links in the newsletter were clicked. Conversion tracking can also be used to analyse whether a predefined action (e.g. purchasing a product on this website) takes place after clicking a link in the newsletter. Further information on data analysis by CleverReach newsletters can be found at: www.cleverreach.com/de/funktionen/reporting-und-tracking/.
Data processing is based on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may withdraw this consent at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. The lawfulness of data processing carried out prior to withdrawal remains unaffected.
If you do not want CleverReach to analyse your data, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. A corresponding link is provided in every newsletter.
The data you provide to us for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and will then be deleted from the newsletter distribution list. Data stored for other purposes remains unaffected.
After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider on a blacklist if this is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data on the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and will not be combined with other data. This serves both your interests and our interest in complying with statutory requirements for sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR). Blacklist storage is not subject to a time limit. You may object to this storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.
For further details, please refer to CleverReach's Privacy Policy at: www.cleverreach.com/de/datenschutz/.

Your rights as a data subject
As part of the processing of your data – regardless of whether your data is processed on the website, in connection with enquiries, for the performance of contracts or during the recruitment process – you have the following rights with regard to your personal data:
- Right of access pursuant to Article 15 GDPR
- Right to rectification pursuant to Article 16 GDPR
- Right to erasure pursuant to Article 17 GDPR

Access, rectification and erasure
Within the scope of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right at any time and free of charge to obtain information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purpose of data processing and, where applicable, the right to request the rectification or erasure of this data. You can contact us at any time regarding this or any other questions concerning personal data.
Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time to exercise this right. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:
- If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.
- If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may request restriction of data processing 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 have the right to request restriction of processing instead of erasure.
- If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. While it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.
- If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data may – apart from being stored – 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 of a Member State.
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 provided to you 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 carried out where technically feasible.
Where the processing of your personal data is based on consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR), you may withdraw this consent at any time; the lawfulness of processing carried out on the basis of consent prior to its withdrawal remains unaffected.
Withdrawal of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may withdraw consent that you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of data processing carried out prior to withdrawal remains unaffected.
Right to object to data collection in specific cases and to direct marketing (Article 21 GDPR)
IF DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF ARTICLE 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 21(1) GDPR).
IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 21(2) GDPR).
