Withdrawal of your consent to our processing of your information
Many data-processing operations require your express consent. You may revoke your consent at any time. You may do so in an informal e-mail message to us. The legality of any data processing performed before you withdraw your consent will remain unaffected by your withdrawal.
Right to object to the collection of data in special cases and to direct marketing (GDPR, Art. 21)
Provided that your data is processed according to GDPR, Article 6(1)(e) or (f), you have the right to object to our processing of your personally identifiable data at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation; the same applies to any profiling performed on the basis of these legal stipulations. To find out about the legal basis for the processing of your data, please refer to this Data Privacy Policy. If you raise an objection, we will cease to process your relevant personally identifiable data unless we are able to demonstrate that such processing is required on compelling legitimate grounds which take precedence over your interests, rights or freedoms, or that such processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims (objection according to GDPR, Art. 21(1)).
You have the right to object to the processing of any of your personally identifiable data for direct marketing purposes; the same applies to profiling for direct marketing purposes. Upon your objection, your personally identifiable data will no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection according to GDPR, Art. 21(2)).
Right to lodge a claim to the responsible supervisory authority
In the event of any violation of the GDPR, the data subject has the right to lodge a claim to a supervisory authority, in particular in the EU member state where they reside, have their place of employment or where the alleged breach has occurred. The right to lodge a claim does not limit any other legal remedies under administrative law or any judicial remedies.
Right to data portability
You have the right to have any information we process automatically, whether based on your consent or in performance of a contract, forwarded to you or any third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request direct transmission of the data to another Data Controller, your wish can only be granted if it is technically feasible to do so.
SSL or TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content such as orders or enquiries you send to us as the operators of this website, this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection when the beginning of your browser’s address line switches from “http://” to “https://”, and a small lock symbol appears next to it.
When SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the information you send to us cannot be read by third parties.
Right of information, blocking, erasure or rectification
Within the scope of applicable law, you are entitled at any time to obtain information free of charge about your personally identifiable data stored by us, its origin and recipients, as well as the purpose of processing your data; you also have the right to demand rectification, blocking or erasure of this information. If you have any further questions about personally identifiable data, feel free to contact us at any time using the address indicated on the Imprint page.
Right to restrict processing
You have the right to demand restriction of the processing of your personally identifiable data. To do so you may contact us at any time using the address indicated on the Imprint page. The right to restrict processing exists in the following circumstances:
If you contest the accuracy of the personally identifiable data stored by us, we typically need some time to verify this. You have the right to demand that the processing of your personally identifiable data be restricted while we perform this verification.
If your personally identifiable data has been or is being processed illegally, you have the option to restrict the processing of your data instead of demanding erasure of the data.
In the event that we no longer need your personally identifiable data but you need the data to exercise, defend or raise legal claims, you may demand that the processing of your personally identifiable data be restricted rather than having the data erased.
If you have raised an objection according to GDPR, Art. 21(1), your interests must be balanced against ours. Until the prevailing interests have been determined, you have the right to demand that the processing of your personally identifiable data be restricted.
If you have restricted the processing of your personally identifiable data, your data must not be processed – apart from being stored – without your consent, unless processing is required to assert, exercise or defend legal rights or to protect the rights of another natural person or legal entity, or unless processing is warranted for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or one of its member states.
