Privacy policy.

Safety and protection of your personal data

We consider it our primary responsibility to protect the confidentiality of the personal information you provide and to protect it from unauthorized access. That's why we take the utmost care and use state-of-the-art security standards to ensure maximum protection of your personal information.

As a private company based in Germany, we are subject to the provisions of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the regulations of the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). We have taken technical and organizational measures to ensure that data protection regulations are observed by us and by our external service providers.

An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

Purposes of data processing

We process your personal data in compliance with the provisions of the GDPR and the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG):

to provide the services and content offered on this website (Art. 6 para. 1 b GDPR),

to answer your inquiries via our contact form (Art. 6 para. 1 b GDPR),

for technical administration of the website and to ensure its security (Art. 6 para. 1 f GDPR).

Transfer of data to third parties

We only transfer your personal data to third parties if:

you have given your express consent (Art. 6 para. 1 a GDPR),

the transfer is necessary for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in not disclosing your data (Art. 6 para. 1 f GDPR),

we are legally obliged to transfer the data (Art. 6 para. 1 c GDPR), or

this is legally permissible and necessary for the processing of contractual relationships with you (Art. 6 para. 1 b GDPR).

Your Rights as a data subject

As a data subject, you have the following rights under the GDPR:

Right of access (Art. 15 GDPR)

Right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR)

Right to erasure ('right to be forgotten') (Art. 17 GDPR)

Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR)

Right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)

Right to object (Art. 21 GDPR)

Right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing (Art. 22 GDPR)

If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law or your data protection claims have otherwise been violated in any way, you can complain to the supervisory authority. In Germany, this is the Federal Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (BfDI).

Erasure of data

Unless specifically stated otherwise in this privacy policy, we erase or anonymize your personal data as soon as they are no longer necessary for the purposes for which we collected or used them in accordance with the paragraphs above. If data needs to be retained for legal reasons, it will be blocked. The data will then no longer be available for further use.
