Storage duration

We generally delete your personal data when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed. If we have asked for your consent and you have given it, we will delete your personal data if you withdraw your consent and there is no other legal basis for the processing. We will also delete your personal data if you object to the processing and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or if you object to processing for direct marketing purposes or related profiling. If deletion is not possible because processing is still necessary to comply with a legal obligation (statutory retention periods, etc.) to which we are subject, or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, we will restrict the processing of your personal data. You can find further information on data retention periods in the following sections.

Your rights

You have the following rights with regard to your personal data:
- Right to information
- Right to rectification
- Right to erasure
- Right to restriction of processing
- Right to object to processing
- Right to data portability

You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to the processing of your personal data which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions. We will then no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the purpose of establishing, exercising or defending legal claims.
If we process your personal data for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. We will then no longer process your personal data for these purposes.

You have the right to withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data at any time, should you have given us such consent. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

You have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority regarding our processing of your personal data.

Provision of your personal data

Providing your personal data is generally neither legally nor contractually required and is not necessary for entering into a contract. You are generally not obligated to provide your personal data. However, should this ever be the case, we will inform you separately when collecting your personal data (for example, by marking mandatory fields in input forms).

Failure to provide your personal data will regularly result in us not processing your personal data for any of the purposes described below and you being unable to take advantage of any offer related to the respective processing (example: without providing your email address you will not receive our newsletter).

Web hosting

We use external services for web hosting. These services may have access to personal data that is processed in connection with the use of our online services.

Web server log files

We process your personal data to display our online services to you and to ensure the stability and security of our online services. Information (such as requested element, accessed URL, operating system, date and time of the request, browser type and version used, IP address, protocol used, amount of data transferred, user agent, referrer URL, time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) and/or HTTP status code) is stored in so-called log files (access log, error log, etc.).

If we have requested your consent and you have given it, the legal basis for processing is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. If we have not requested your consent, the legal basis for processing is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest in this case is the proper display of our online services and ensuring the stability and security of our online services.

Security

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of your personal data and other confidential information, we use encryption on our domain. You can recognize this in the browser address bar by the "https://" prefix and the padlock symbol.

Contact

If you contact us, we will process your personal data in order to handle your inquiry.

If we have requested your consent and you have given it, the legal basis for processing is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. If we have not requested your consent, the legal basis for processing is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest in this case is processing your inquiry. If processing is necessary for the performance of a contract with you or for taking steps prior to entering into a contract based on your inquiry, the legal basis for processing is also Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.

We use external services to provide and maintain our email inboxes. These services may have access to personal data that is processed when you contact us.

To support the processing of your inquiry, we use support systems (appointment booking systems, live chats, ticketing systems, helpdesks, etc.) and employ external services for this purpose.

Newsletter

If we have asked for your consent and you have given it, we will process your email address for email marketing purposes and, if necessary, other personal data to personalize our communications with you. The legal basis for this processing is Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. The content of the email marketing will be specifically described when we obtain your consent. Otherwise, the email marketing will contain information about us, our goods, and services.

We use the so-called double opt-in procedure to prevent potential misuse of your personal data. After collecting your email address, we will send you an email to the address you provided, asking you to confirm that you actually wish to receive email marketing. The legal basis for this processing is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in conducting email marketing in compliance with the law.

We log the time you give your consent and the time you confirm it, as well as your IP address and the content of your consent declaration, in order to be able to prove that your consent was obtained in accordance with the law. The legal basis for this processing is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest in this is the legally compliant conduct of email marketing.

We use external services for email marketing. Further information about the services used, the scope of data processing, the technologies and procedures employed by each service, whether profiling takes place when using these services, and, if applicable, information about the logic involved, as well as the scope and intended effects of such processing for you, can be found in the additional information about the services we use at the end of this passage and via the links provided there.

You can withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing your consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. To withdraw your consent, you can use the designated link in the emails or contact us using the contact details provided above.

If you have withdrawn your consent, we reserve the right to process your personal data in a so-called blacklist/blocklist to ensure that no further email marketing is carried out in connection with this personal data in the future. The legal basis for this processing is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest in this is the prevention of unsolicited email marketing.

We process your personal data for tracking and performance measurement purposes to measure the reach of our email marketing, tailor it to your needs and interests, and thereby optimize our email marketing. This may also involve profiling (for advertising, personalized information, etc.). Profiling may also occur across services and devices. If we have requested your consent and you have granted it, the legal basis for processing is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. If we have not requested your consent, the legal basis for processing is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest in this is the optimization of our email marketing. Unfortunately, it is not possible to separately revoke your consent or object to tracking and performance measurement. You must use the aforementioned options to revoke your consent or object to the processing of your personal data for email marketing purposes in its entirety.
