Recipients of personal data

In the course of our business operations, we collaborate with various external parties. This sometimes requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties.

When using processors, we only transfer our customers' personal data on the basis of a valid order processing agreement. In the event of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

If the data processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (e) or (f) of the GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. You can find the respective legal basis on which processing is based in this privacy policy.

The right to complain shall be without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.

Right to data portability

You have the right to receive the data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, in a common, machine-readable format, either for yourself or for a third party. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.

Information, Correction, and Deletion

Under the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free access to information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, and if applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data.

Right to restrict processing

You have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data. You can contact us for this purpose at any time. The right to restrict processing exists in the following cases:

• If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we generally need time to verify this. During the period of verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
• If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
• If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
• If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of interests between yours and our interests must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, those data may only be processed – apart from storage – with your consent, or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of an important public interest of the Union or of a Member State.

5. Analysis Tools and Advertising

Matomo

This website uses the open-source web analytics service Matomo.

With the help of Matomo, we can record and analyze data on how website visitors use our website. This allows us, among other things, to find out when which page views were made and from which region they come. We also record various log files (e.g., IP address, referrer, browsers and operating systems used) and can measure whether our website visitors perform certain actions (e.g., clicks, purchases, etc.).

The use of this analysis tool is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize its web offering and advertising. If corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TDDDG, insofar as consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user's terminal device (e.g., device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

IP Anonymization

When analyzing with Matomo, we use IP anonymization. This shortens your IP address before analysis, so it can no longer be uniquely assigned to you.

Cookieless Analytics

We've configured Matomo so that Matomo doesn't save cookies in your browser.

Hosting

We host Matomo exclusively on our own servers, so all analysis data remains with us and is not shared.
