Unless a more specific storage period has been mentioned in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for processing the data no longer applies. If you make a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted—unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial retention periods); in the latter case, deletion will take place after these reasons no longer apply.
If you have given your consent to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, if special categories of data are processed. In the case of express consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also based on Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you consent to the storage of cookies or access to information on your device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), the processing is additionally based on §25(1) TTDSG. Consent can be withdrawn at any time.
If your data is required for the performance of a contract or for pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.
If the processing is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation, we process it based on Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.
Data may also be processed on the basis of our legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
We use tools from companies based in non-EU countries, especially the USA. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these countries. Please note that these countries may not offer a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU. For example, U.S. companies may be required to hand over data to security authorities without you being able to take legal action. To ensure compliance, we rely on EU Standard Contractual Clauses and other legal mechanisms where possible.
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke your consent at any time. The legality of processing carried out before the withdrawal remains unaffected.
If data processing is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right to object at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds or the processing is necessary for legal claims.
In the event of a GDPR violation, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the EU member state of your habitual residence, workplace, or the place of the alleged infringement.
You have the right to receive personal data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract in a commonly used and machine-readable format—and to have it transferred to another controller upon request, where technically feasible.
You have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, as well as the right to correct or delete this data within the scope of legal provisions.
You may request the restriction of processing of your personal data under the following conditions:
If processing is restricted, this data may only be processed with your consent or for legal claims or reasons of public interest.
