We process your data exclusively in accordance with the legal requirements, in particular the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and ensure that your visit to our website meets the highest security standards.

Google Maps

Our website uses the Google Maps map service, provided by Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (“Google”), via an API (Application Programming Interface).

To protect your data protection, Google Maps is deactivated by default when you first visit our website. A connection to Google's servers is only established when you activate Google Maps and thereby give your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a of GDPR. This ensures that no data is transmitted to Google when you enter our website.

After activation, Google Maps saves your IP address. This is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. After activation of Google Maps, the provider of this website no longer has any influence on this data transfer.

For more information about how Google handles your user data, please see Google’s privacy policy at: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

Contact Form

If you contact us by email or via a contact form, the data you provide, including your contact details, will be stored in order to process your request or to be available for any follow-up questions. This data will not be passed on without your express consent.

The processing of the data entered in the contact form is based exclusively on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke your consent at any time. An informal notification by email is sufficient for the revocation. The legality of the data processing carried out up to the revocation remains unaffected.

The data transmitted via the contact form will be stored by us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage or there is no longer any need to store the data. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.

Data Use and Sharing

We do not sell or otherwise market the personal data that you send us, for example by email (e.g. your name, address or email address). Your data will only be used to correspond with you and only for the purpose for which you provided it to us. To process payments, we pass on your payment details to the credit institution responsible for the payment.

The data that is automatically collected when you visit our website is used exclusively for the purposes already mentioned. The data is not used for any other purpose.

We assure you that we will not pass on your personal data to third parties unless we are legally obliged to do so or you have given your express consent beforehand.

SSL or TLS Encryption

Our website uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as requests that you send to us as the website operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and the lock symbol is displayed in the browser line.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you send to us cannot be read by third parties.

§1 Storage Period

Personal data that you have made available to us via our website will only be stored for as long as it is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected. If there are statutory retention periods, such as commercial and tax law requirements, it may be necessary to store certain data for a longer period of time - up to 10 years.

§2 Rights of Those Affected

With regard to the personal data concerning you, you as the data subject have the following rights vis-à-vis the controller in accordance with the statutory provisions:

2.1 Right of withdrawal

Many data processing operations can only be carried out with your express consent. If the processing of your data is based on your consent, you have the right to revoke this consent at any time with future effect in accordance with Art. 7 Para. 3 GDPR. The revocation of consent has no influence on the legality of the processing that was carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation. The storage of your data for billing and accounting purposes remains unaffected by the revocation.

2.2 Right to information

In accordance with Art. 15 GDPR, you have the right to request confirmation from us as to whether we process personal data concerning you. Should such processing occur, you have the right to information about the personal data we process, including the purposes of the processing, the categories of data processed, the recipients or categories of recipients to whom your data has been or will be disclosed, as well as the planned storage period or the criteria used to determine the storage period.

In addition, you have the right to be informed about the existence of a right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing and to object to processing. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. If your data was not collected directly from you by us, you have the right to know the origin of the data.

In addition, you have the right to obtain information about the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, as well as the underlying logic, the scope and the intended effects of such processing. Finally, you have the right to be informed about the guarantees pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR when transferring your data to third countries.

You have the right to request the immediate rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning you and the completion of incomplete data at any time in accordance with Art. 16 GDPR.

2.4 Right to erasure

You have the right to request the erasure of your personal data in accordance with Art. 17 GDPR if one of the following reasons applies:

1. Your personal data are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
2. You withdraw your consent on which the processing was based according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a or Art. 9 Para. 2 lit. a GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.

1. The personal data were processed unlawfully.
2. The erasure of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member State to which we are subject.
3. The personal data were collected in connection with information society services offered in accordance with Art. 8 Para. 1 GDPR.

However, this right does not apply if the processing is necessary:

2. to fulfill a legal obligation which requires processing by Union or Member State law to which we are subject, or to perform a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in us;
3. for reasons of public interest in the area of ​​public health pursuant to Art. 9 (2)(h) and (i) and Art. 9 (3) GDPR;
4. for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89 (1) GDPR, insofar as the rights of the data subject are likely to make the achievement of the objectives of this processing impossible or seriously compromise it;
5. to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

If we have made your personal data public and are obliged to delete this data in accordance with the above provisions, we will take appropriate measures, including technical ones, taking into account the available technology and the implementation costs. These measures serve to inform the data controllers that you, as the data subject, have requested that they delete all links to your personal data or copies or replications of this data.

2.5 Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request the restriction of processing (blocking) of your personal data in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR. You can contact us at any time using the address provided in the imprint. The right to restrict processing exists in the following cases:

1. If you doubt the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to check this. During this review period, you have the right to restrict the processing of your personal data.
2. If the processing of your personal data was or is unlawful, you can request that the processing of your data be restricted instead of deleted.
3. If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it to enforce, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request that processing be restricted instead of deleted.
4. If you have lodged an objection in accordance with Art. 21 Paragraph 1 GDPR, your interests must be weighed against ours. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data may - with the exception of storage - only be processed with your consent or for the enforcement, exercise or defense of legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the EU or a Member State.

2.6 Right to information

If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing of your personal data, we are obliged to inform all recipients to whom your data was disclosed of the rectification, erasure or restriction of processing, unless doing so is impossible or involves disproportionate expenditure. According to Art. 19 GDPR, you have the right to be informed about these recipients upon request.

2.7 Right not to be subjected to a decision based solely on automated processing – including profiling

You have the right, in accordance with Art. 22 GDPR, not to be subjected to a decision based solely on automated processing – including profiling – which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. However, this shall not apply if the decision:

1. is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and us,
2. is permitted by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which provides for appropriate measures to protect your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests, or
3. with your express consent.

However, the decisions referred to in cases (a) to (c) must not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9 (1) GDPR, unless Art. 9 (2)(a) or (g) applies and appropriate measures to protect your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests have been taken.

In cases (a) and (c), we will implement appropriate measures to safeguard your rights, freedoms and legitimate interests. These include at least the right to request human intervention by the controller, to express your point of view and to contest the decision.

2.8 Right to data portability

If the processing is based on your consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 Para. 2 lit. a GDPR or on a contract in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR and is carried out automatically, you have the right pursuant to Art. 20 GDPR to receive your personal data that you have made available to us in a structured, common and machine-readable format. You can transmit this data to another controller or request that it be transmitted to another controller, provided this is technically possible.

2.9 Right of objection

If we base the processing of your personal data on the balance of interests in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation. This also applies to profiling based on this basis. Please refer to this privacy policy for the legal basis for the processing.

In the event of an objection, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21 Para. 1 GDPR).

If your personal data is used for direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to its processing for advertising purposes. This also applies to profiling related to direct marketing. In the event of an objection, we will no longer use your data for these purposes (objection in accordance with Art. 21 Para. 2 GDPR).

You can also exercise your right of objection in connection with the use of information society services by automated means using technical specifications, regardless of Directive 2002/58/EC.

2.10 Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State in which they have their habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged violation.
