This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for.
It also explains how and for what purpose this happens.

Unless a more specific storage period has been stated within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for the data processing 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 grounds for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, deletion takes place after these reasons cease to apply.

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or, if special categories of data according to Article 9(1) GDPR are processed, on the basis of Article 9(2)(a) GDPR.
In the event of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, processing is also based on Article 49(1)(a) GDPR.

The relevant legal basis in each individual case is explained in the following sections of this privacy policy.
Recipients of Personal Data
In the course of our business activities, we work together 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 to external parties if this is necessary within the framework of contract performance, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. disclosure to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR in passing on the data, or if another legal basis permits the data transfer.
When using data processors, we only disclose personal data of our customers on the basis of a valid data processing agreement.

Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent.

If data processing is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data, including profiling based on these provisions.
The respective legal basis on which 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 the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims (objection pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR).
Where your personal data are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.

Right to Data Portability
You have the right to have data which we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract delivered to you or to 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 carried out where it is technically feasible.
Access, Rectification, Erasure, and Restriction of Processing
Within the scope of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, their origin, recipients, and the purpose of data processing, as well as, if applicable, a right to rectification or erasure of these data.

Encrypted Payment Transactions on This Website
If there is an obligation to provide us with your payment data (e.g. account number for direct debit authorisation) after concluding a fee-based contract, this data is required for payment processing.

If you contact us via e-mail, telephone, or fax, your request, including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request.
We do not pass on these data without your consent.
Processing of these data is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR if your request is related to the fulfilment of a contract or the implementation of pre-contractual measures.
In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of requests addressed to us (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR), if requested; consent can be withdrawn at any time.
