The controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or together with others, determines the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).

Storage Period

Unless a more specific storage period is stated in this privacy policy, your personal data will be retained by us until the purpose of the data processing is no longer valid. If you submit a valid request for deletion or withdraw your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted, unless we have other legally permissible reasons to store your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial law retention periods). In that case, deletion will occur once these reasons no longer apply.

General Information about the Legal Grounds for Data Processing on This Website
If you have given consent for data processing, we process your personal data based on Article 6, paragraph 1, letter a of the GDPR or Article 9, paragraph 2, letter a of the GDPR, if special categories of data are processed under Article 9, paragraph 1 of the GDPR. In the case of explicit consent for the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also based on Article 49, paragraph 1, letter a of the GDPR. If you have given consent for the storage of cookies or access to information on your device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), data processing also takes place based on § 25, paragraph 1 of the TDDDG. Consent can be withdrawn at any time.
If your data is necessary for the performance of a contract or for pre-contractual measures, we process your data based on Article 6, paragraph 1, letter b of the GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if required to fulfill a legal obligation based on Article 6, paragraph 1, letter c of the GDPR. Data processing can also occur based on our legitimate interest according to Article 6, paragraph 1, letter f of the GDPR.

Data Transfers to Third Countries and Non-DPF-Certified US Companies
We use tools from companies based in third countries that do not have an adequate level of data protection, as well as US-based tools from providers who are not certified under the EU-US Privacy Shield (DPF). When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these countries and processed there. Please note that in countries without an equivalent level of data protection as the EU, no comparable guarantees for privacy protection can be provided.
The United States is generally considered a secure third country, provided the recipient is certified under the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (DPF) or has appropriate additional safeguards. Information on transfers to third countries, including data recipients, can be found in this privacy policy.

Recipients of Personal Data
In the course of our business activities, we work with various external parties. This may also require the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only share personal data with external parties when necessary for the performance of a contract, when we are legally obligated to do so (e.g., sharing data with tax authorities), when we have a legitimate interest according to Article 6, paragraph 1, letter f of the GDPR, or when another legal basis allows for the transfer of data. When using processors, we only pass on personal data on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement will be concluded.

Withdrawal of Consent for Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

Right to Object to Data Processing in Special Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
When data processing is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time, for reasons arising from your particular situation; this includes profiling based on these provisions. You can find the legal basis for processing in this privacy statement. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing is for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection under Art. 21(1) GDPR).
If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data for such marketing purposes at any time; this includes profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for direct marketing (objection under Art. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority
In the event of breaches of the GDPR, the data subject has 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. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive the personal data we process based on your consent or in the performance of a contract in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to transmit that data to another controller. If you request the direct transfer of data to another controller, this will only take place if it is technically feasible.

Information, Rectification, and Erasure
You have the right to obtain information about your stored personal data, its origin, the recipients, and the purpose of the processing, and, if applicable, the right to correct or erase this data. You may contact us at any time for further questions regarding 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. The right to restrict processing exists in the following cases:
1. If you dispute the accuracy of your stored personal data with us, we usually need time to verify this. During the verification process, you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data.
2. If the processing of your personal data is unlawful, you may request the restriction of the data processing instead of its erasure.
3. 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 processing instead of erasure.
4. If you have objected under Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of interests must take place between your and our interests. As long as it is not yet determined whose interests outweigh, 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, such data may only be processed – except for storage – 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 a member state.
