Unless a more specific retention period is specified within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you assert 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 under tax or commercial law). In the latter case, deletion will occur once 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 will process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR or Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR if special categories of data are processed pursuant to Art. 9 (1) GDPR. In the case of express consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing will also be based on Art. 49 (1) (a) GDPR.

Recipients of personal data
As part of our business activities, we work with various external parties. In some cases, this also requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only transfer personal data to external parties if this is necessary to fulfill a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g., transferring data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in transferring data pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the transfer. When using processors, we only transfer our customers' personal data on the basis of a valid contract for order processing. In the case of joint processing, a contract for joint processing is concluded.
Revocation of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke your consent at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out up to the time of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

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 PROVE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR THE PROCESSING SERVES TO ASSERT, EXERCISE OR DEFEND LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 (1) GDPR). If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing purposes; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR).
Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority
In the event of violations 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 place of the alleged violation. This right of complaint is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
​
Right to data portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done if technically feasible.
Information, Correction, and Deletion
Within the scope of applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient, and the purpose of data processing, as well as the right to have this data corrected or deleted. You can contact us at any time with any questions about this or other questions relating to personal data.
​
Right to Restriction of Processing
You have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted. You can contact us at any time with this request. 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. You have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted for the duration of the review.
• If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request that the processing be restricted instead of deleted.
• If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted instead of deleted.
• If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, your interests and ours must be weighed. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.
​
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data – apart from its storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a member state.
​
SSL or TLS encryption

5. Social Media
​
Social Media Elements with Shariff
This website uses social media elements (e.g., Facebook, X, Instagram, Pinterest, XING, LinkedIn, Tumblr).
You can usually recognize the social media elements by their respective social media logos. To ensure data protection on this website, we only use these elements in conjunction with the so-called "Shariff" solution. This application prevents the social media elements integrated into this website from transmitting your personal data to the respective provider the first time you visit the page.
Only when you activate the respective social media element by clicking the corresponding button will a direct connection to the provider's server be established (consent). As soon as you activate the social media element, the respective provider receives the information that you have visited this website using your IP address. If you are logged into your respective social media account (e.g. Facebook) at the same time, the respective provider can assign your visit to this website to your user account.
Activating the plugin constitutes consent within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR and Section 25 (1) TDDDG. You can revoke this consent at any time with future effect.
