The “Responsible Entity” is the natural or legal person who determines, alone or jointly with others, the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, email addresses).
Unless otherwise specified, your personal data remains with us until the purpose for data processing ceases. If you request deletion or withdraw consent, data will be deleted unless other legally permissible reasons (e.g., tax retention) exist.
If you consent to data processing, your personal data is processed under Art. 6 (1)(a) GDPR, and if sensitive data is processed, under Art. 9 (2)(a) GDPR. For third-country data transfer, processing also relies on Art. 49 (1)(a) GDPR. For cookie storage, processing is based on § 25 (1) TTDSG, if you consented. For contract performance, data is processed under Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR, while legal obligations rely on Art. 6 (1)(c) GDPR. Legitimate interests are addressed under Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR, with specific legal grounds explained below.
We collaborate with various external parties as part of our business activities. Personal data is only shared if necessary for contractual performance, legally required, or permitted by legitimate interest under Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR. Data processing agreements ensure compliant sharing with processors.
You may withdraw consent at any time. Data processing prior to withdrawal remains lawful.
If data processing is based on Art. 6 (1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right to object based on your situation. Objections to direct advertising may be submitted at any time, halting further data use for such purposes.
In cases of GDPR breaches, you have the right to file a complaint with the supervisory authority of your habitual residence, workplace, or location of the alleged infringement.
You are entitled to receive data processed with your consent or for contract fulfillment in a common machine-readable format, including direct transfer to a responsible party where feasible.
You have the right to information about your stored personal data, its source, recipient, and processing purpose, and the right to rectify or delete this data within legal parameters.
You may request restricted data processing in specific cases, such as when data accuracy is disputed, processing is unlawful, data is needed for legal claims, or pending outcome of an objection under Art. 21 GDPR.
For security reasons and protection of confidential transmissions, such as orders or inquiries, this site uses SSL/TLS encryption. An encrypted connection changes “http://” to “https://” and shows a lock symbol in the browser address bar.
When required, payment data transmission for cost-based contracts (e.g., account number for direct debits) is secured by SSL/TLS. An encrypted connection is indicated by “https://” and the lock symbol in the browser.
Use of contact details published under legal disclosure obligations for unsolicited advertising is opposed. Legal action is reserved in the case of unsolicited promotional information, such as spam emails.
Our portal uses “cookies,” small data packages stored on your device. Cookies can be session-based (temporary) or persistent. Session cookies are deleted after your visit, while persistent cookies remain until manually deleted or automatically cleared by the browser. Cookies may be “First-Party” (our own) or “Third-Party” (from external service providers for services like payment processing). Cookies have varied functions, some necessary for essential site features, others for user behavior analysis or advertising purposes.

We use the instant messaging service WhatsApp to communicate with our customers and other third parties. The provider is WhatsApp Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.
The communication is end-to-end encrypted (peer-to-peer), preventing WhatsApp or other third parties from accessing the communication content.

Furthermore, WhatsApp states that it shares users' personal data with its parent company Meta, based in the U.S. For further details on data processing, please refer to WhatsApp’s privacy policy at: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/#privacy-policy.
The use of WhatsApp is based on our legitimate interest in fast and efficient communication with customers, interested parties, and other business and contractual partners (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). If consent has been requested, data processing is based solely on consent, which may be revoked at any time with future effect.
