Notice Regarding the Transfer of Data to the United States

Our website incorporates tools from companies based in the United States, among other things. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to the respective companies’ servers in the United States. Please note that the United States is not a “safe third country” within the meaning of EU data protection law. U.S. companies are required to disclose personal data to law enforcement agencies, and you, as the data subject, have no legal recourse against this. It cannot therefore be ruled out that U.S. authorities (e.g., intelligence agencies) may process, analyze, and permanently store your data located on U.S. servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence over these processing activities.

Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may withdraw any consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out prior to the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

Right to object to data collection in specific cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6(1)( E OR F OF THE 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. YOU CAN FIND THE SPECIFIC LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED 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 THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING IS NECESSARY FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS BEING PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR SUCH MARKETING PURPOSES; 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 DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) OF THE GDPR).

Right to file a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

In the event of a breach 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, their place of work, or the place where the alleged breach occurred. This right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

You have the right to receive data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, either directly or through a third party, in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request that the data be transferred directly to another controller, this will only be done to the extent that it is technically feasible.

SSL or TLS encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential information, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address bar of your browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock icon in your browser’s address bar.

If SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data you send to us cannot be intercepted by third parties.

Access, Deletion, and Correction

In accordance with applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to receive, free of charge, information about your stored personal data, its source and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, as well as the right to have this data corrected or deleted, if applicable. You may contact us at any time regarding this matter or any other questions you may have about personal data.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted. You may contact us at any time to do so. The right to restrict 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 process, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.
If your personal data has been or is being processed unlawfully, you may request that the processing be restricted instead of having the data erased.
If we no longer need your personal data but you need 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 erased.
If you have lodged an objection under Article 21(1) of the GDPR, a balancing of your interests against ours must be carried out. Until it is determined 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, such data may—apart from storage—be processed only with your consent, or for the purpose of asserting, exercising, or defending legal claims, or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of a substantial public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

Objection to promotional emails

We hereby object to the use of contact information published in accordance with the legal requirement to provide an imprint for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and informational materials. The operators of this website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited transmission of advertising information, such as through spam emails.

4. Plugins and Tools

YouTube with enhanced privacy settings

This website embeds YouTube videos. The site is operated by Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

We use YouTube in enhanced privacy mode. According to YouTube, this mode ensures that YouTube does not store any information about visitors to this website before they watch the video. However, enhanced privacy mode does not necessarily prevent data from being shared with YouTube partners. For example, YouTube establishes a connection to the Google DoubleClick network regardless of whether you watch a video.

As soon as you play a YouTube video on this website, a connection is established with YouTube’s servers. This informs the YouTube server which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to link your browsing activity directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

In addition, after a video is played, YouTube may store various cookies on your device or use similar tracking technologies (e.g., device fingerprinting). This allows YouTube to collect information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to track video statistics, improve the user experience, and prevent fraud.

In some cases, additional data processing operations may be triggered after a YouTube video starts playing, over which we have no control.

We use YouTube to ensure that our online content is presented in an engaging manner. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. If consent has been obtained, processing is based solely on Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR; consent may be withdrawn at any time.

For more information about data protection on YouTube, please see their Privacy Policy at:https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

Google Web Fonts

This site uses web fonts provided by Google to ensure consistent font display. When you visit a page, your browser loads the necessary web fonts into its cache to display text and fonts correctly.

To this end, the browser you are using must establish a connection to Google’s servers. As a result, Google becomes aware that this website has been accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web Fonts is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the uniform presentation of the typeface on its website. If consent has been requested (e.g., consent to the storage of cookies), processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR; consent may be revoked at any time.

If your browser does not support web fonts, a default font from your computer will be used.

For more information about Google Web Fonts, visithttps://developers.google.com/fonts/faqand review Google’s Privacy Policy:https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

Google Maps

This site uses the Google Maps mapping service. The provider is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

In order to use the features of Google Maps, it is necessary to store your IP address. This information is typically transmitted to a Google server in the United States and stored there. The provider of this website has no control over this data transfer.

We use Google Maps to ensure that our online content is presented in an appealing way and to make it easy for users to find the locations listed on our website. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. If consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR; consent may be withdrawn at any time.

Data transfers to the United States are based on the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses. For more details, please visit:https://privacy.google.com/businesses/gdprcontrollerterms/andhttps://privacy.google.com/businesses/gdprcontrollerterms/sccs/.
