Information on Data Transfers to Third Countries That Are Not Safe Under Data Protection Law and Transfers to US Companies That Are Not DPF-Certified
Among other things, we use tools from companies based in third countries that are not considered safe under data protection law, as well as US-based tools whose providers are not certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these countries and processed there. Please note that a level of data protection comparable to that in the EU cannot be guaranteed in third countries that are unsafe under data protection law. We also note that the United States is generally considered a secure third country if the recipient is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework or provides suitable additional safeguards. Information on transfers to third countries, including the recipients of the data, can be found in this privacy policy.
Recipients of Personal Data
As part of our business activities, we cooperate with various external parties. In some cases, this also requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only pass on personal data if this is necessary for the performance of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so, for example to tax authorities, if we have a legitimate interest in the transfer pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the transfer of data. When using processors, we pass on our customers’ personal data only on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.
Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may revoke consent already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out up to the point of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Marketing Pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR
If data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right at any time to object to the processing of your personal data on grounds relating to your particular situation. This also applies to profiling based on those provisions. The respective legal basis on which any processing is based can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will 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 to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims. If your personal data is processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such marketing purposes. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will thereafter no longer be used for direct marketing purposes.
Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority
In the event of infringements of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.
Right to Data Portability
You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, either for yourself or for a third party, in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.
Information, Rectification, and Erasure
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain information free of charge about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, and, where applicable, a right to rectification or erasure of this data. You may contact us at any time in this regard and in relation to further questions on the subject of personal data.
Right to Restriction of Processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time in this regard. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases: if you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data. If the processing of your personal data was or is unlawful, you may request restriction of processing instead of erasure. If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of erasure. If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of your interests and ours must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data. If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data may, apart from storage, be processed only with your consent, for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.
SSL or TLS Encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the website operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser address line changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock icon in your browser line. If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
