We have concluded an order processing contract with the provider that ensures the protection of the data of our site visitors and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

4) Cookies

We use cookies, i.e. small text files that are stored on your end device, to make visiting our website more attractive and to enable the use of certain functions. Some of these cookies are automatically deleted again after closing the browser (so-called “session cookies”), while some of these cookies remain on your end device for longer and enable the storage of page settings (so-called “persistent cookies”). In the latter case, you can see the storage period in the overview of cookie settings for your web browser. If personal data is also processed by individual cookies that we use, the processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) point b GDPR, either for the execution of the contract or in accordance with Art. 6 (1) point f GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interests in the best possible functionality of the website and a customer-friendly and effective design of the page visit. You can adjust your browser settings so that you are informed when cookies are set and can decide whether to accept them on a case-by-case basis or exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or in general. Please note that if you do not accept cookies, the functionality of our website may be limited.

5) Contact

When you contact us (e.g. using the contact form or by email), personal data is collected. The data collected when using a contact form can be seen from the respective contact form. These data are stored and used solely for the purpose of answering your request or for establishing contact and for the associated technical administration. The legal basis for processing these data is our legitimate interest in answering your request in accordance with Art. 6 (1) point f GDPR. If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Your data will be deleted after the final processing of your request. This is the case if it can be inferred from the circumstances that the facts in question have been finally clarified and provided that there are no legal storage requirements.

6) Site functionalities

6.1 Google Maps (only a Screenshot)
This website uses an online map screenshot provided by the following provider: Google Maps (API) from Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”). Although there will be no data transfer (at all, also not to the USA)  the provider has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which ensures compliance with the European data protection level on the basis of an adequacy decision by the European Commission.

7) Tools and other

Cookie consent tool

This website uses a so-called “cookie consent tool” to obtain effective user consent for cookies and cookie-based applications that require consent. The “cookie consent tool” is displayed to users when they visit the site in the form of an interactive user interface on which consent for certain cookies and/or cookie-based applications can be given by ticking the appropriate boxes. When the tool is used, all cookies/services requiring consent are only loaded if the respective user gives their consent by ticking the appropriate box. This ensures that such cookies are only set on the user's device if consent has been given. The tool sets technically necessary cookies to store your cookie preferences. Personal user data is generally not processed in this process. If, in individual cases, personal data (such as the IP address) is processed for the purpose of storing, assigning or logging cookie settings, this is done in accordance with Art. 6 (1) point f GDPR, on the basis of our legitimate interest in a legally compliant, user-specific and user-friendly consent management for cookies and, consequently, in a legally compliant design of our website. Another legal basis for the processing is also Article 6(1)(c) GDPR. As the controller, we are subject to the legal obligation to make the use of technically unnecessary cookies dependent on the respective user consent. Where necessary, we have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider that ensures the protection of our site visitors' data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties. Further information about the operator and the setting options for the cookie consent tool can be found directly in the corresponding user interface on our website.

8) Rights of the data subject

IF YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT, WE WILL STOP PROCESSING THE DATA CONCERNED. HOWEVER, WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO CONTINUE PROCESSING IF WE CAN PROVE THAT THERE ARE COMPELLING REASONS FOR PROCESSING WHICH ARE WORTHY OF PROTECTION AND WHICH OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, fundamental rights and freedoms, or if the processing is for the purpose of enforcing, pursuing or defending legal claims. IF WE PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING. YOU CAN EXERCISE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AS DESCRIBED ABOVE. IF YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT, WE WILL STOP PROCESSING THE DATA CONCERNED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES.

9) Duration of the storage of personal data

The duration of the storage of personal data is determined on the basis of the respective legal basis, the purpose of the processing and, if relevant, additionally on the basis of the respective legal retention period (e.g. commercial and tax law retention periods).

When processing personal data on the basis of express consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) point a GDPR, the data concerned will be stored until you revoke your consent. If there are legal retention periods for data that is processed in the context of legal or similar obligations on the basis of Art. 6 (1) point b GDPR, this data is routinely deleted after the retention periods have expired, provided that it is no longer required for the fulfillment or initiation of a contract and/or there is no longer any legitimate interest on our part in further storage. When processing personal data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) point f GDPR, this data is stored until you exercise your right of objection under Art. 21 (1) GDPR, unless we can prove compelling legitimate reasons for the processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims. When processing personal data for the purpose of direct marketing on the basis of Art. 6 (1) point f GDPR, this data is stored until you exercise your right of objection under Art. 21 (2) GDPR. Unless otherwise provided in the other information in this declaration regarding specific processing situations, stored personal data will otherwise be deleted when they are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
