Data Protection
We hereby inform you in accordance with the legal requirements of data protection law (in particular pursuant to the new Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG n.F.) and the European General Data Protection Regulation ‘GDPR’) about the nature, scope, and purpose of the processing of personal data by our company. This privacy policy also applies to our websites and social media profiles. For definitions of terms such as “personal data” or “processing,” we refer to Art. 4 GDPR.

Visitors/users of the website,
The data subjects are collectively referred to as “users.”
Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data
Below we inform you about the legal basis for processing personal data:
- If we have obtained your consent for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
- If the processing is necessary for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures carried out at your request, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
- If the processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject (e.g., statutory retention obligations), Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
- If the processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
- If the processing is necessary for the purposes of our legitimate interests or those of a third party, and your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms do not override those interests, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
Disclosure of Personal Data to Third Parties and Processors
Without your consent, we do not generally disclose data to third parties. If this is the case, the disclosure is based on the previously mentioned legal grounds, e.g., when disclosing data to online payment providers for contract fulfillment or due to a court order or legal obligation to disclose the data for law enforcement purposes, to avert danger, or to enforce intellectual property rights.
We also use processors (external service providers, e.g., for web hosting our websites and databases) to process your data. If data is disclosed to processors as part of an agreement on commissioned data processing, this is always done in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. We carefully select our processors, monitor them regularly, and have been granted the right to issue instructions regarding the data. Additionally, processors must have taken appropriate technical and organizational measures and comply with data protection regulations according to BDSG n.F. and GDPR.
Data Transfers to Third Countries
The adoption of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has created a uniform basis for data protection in Europe. Therefore, your data is primarily processed by companies for which GDPR applies. If processing by third-party services outside the European Union or the European Economic Area does occur, they must comply with the special requirements of Art. 44 ff. GDPR. This means the processing is based on specific guarantees, such as an officially recognized level of data protection corresponding to the EU by the EU Commission or compliance with officially recognized special contractual obligations, the so-called “standard contractual clauses”.
Insofar as we obtain your express consent for the data transfer to the USA due to the ineffectiveness of the so-called “Privacy Shield” under Art. 49 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR, we point out the risk of secret access by US authorities and the use of the data for surveillance purposes, potentially without legal remedies for EU citizens.
Deletion of Data and Storage Duration
Unless explicitly stated in this privacy policy, your personal data will be deleted or blocked once the consent given for processing is revoked by you, or the purpose for the storage no longer applies, and the data is no longer required for that purpose, unless further retention is necessary for evidence purposes or legal retention obligations stand in the way. These include commercial retention obligations for business letters under § 257 para. 1 HGB (6 years) and tax retention obligations for records under § 147 para. 1 AO (10 years). When the prescribed retention period expires, your data will be blocked or deleted unless the storage is still required for a contract conclusion or fulfillment.
Existence of Automated Decision-Making
We do not use automated decision-making or profiling.
