The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and this Privacy Policy. When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data by which you can be personally identified. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this takes place. We would like to point out that data transmission over the internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data from access by third parties is not possible.

Retention Period

Unless a more specific retention period has been stated within this Privacy Policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you assert a justified request for erasure or withdraw consent to data processing, your data will be deleted, unless we have other legally permissible grounds for retaining your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, deletion will occur once those grounds no longer apply.

General Notes on the Legal Bases for Data Processing on This Website

Where you have given consent to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, where special categories of data within the meaning of Art. 9(1) GDPR are processed. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, processing is additionally carried out on the basis of Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. Where you have consented to the storage of cookies or to access to information on your end device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), processing is additionally carried out on the basis of § 25(1) TDDDG. Consent may be withdrawn at any time. Where your data is necessary for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, where processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Processing may also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The specific legal bases applicable in each individual case are set out in the following sections of this Privacy Policy.

Recipients of Personal Data

In the course of our activities, we work with various external parties. This may involve the transfer of personal data to those external parties. We only disclose personal data to external parties where this is necessary for the performance of a contract, where we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. disclosure to tax authorities), where we have a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR in the disclosure, or where another legal basis permits such disclosure. When engaging processors, we only pass on personal data of our clients on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In cases of joint processing, a joint processing agreement will be concluded.

Withdrawal of Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may withdraw consent already given at any time. The lawfulness of data processing carried out prior to the withdrawal is not affected by the withdrawal.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

WHERE 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, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THOSE 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 CONCERNED 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 ART. 21(1) GDPR). WHERE YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

In the event of breaches 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 is 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 for the performance of a contract, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and to have it transmitted to yourself or to a third party. Where you request the direct transfer of data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.

Access, Rectification and Erasure

Within the framework of applicable statutory provisions, you have the right at any time to receive, free of charge, information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, and, where applicable, the right to rectification or erasure of that data. You may contact us at any time regarding this and any further questions on the subject of personal data.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

  • If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally require time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of 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 defence of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing 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. For as long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data.

Where processing of your personal data has been restricted, such data may — apart from being stored — only be processed with your consent, for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of substantial public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

SSL/TLS Encryption

This website uses SSL/TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the website operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address bar of the browser changes from „http://“ to „https://“, and by the padlock symbol in your browser bar. When SSL/TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Objection to Advertising E-Mails

The use of contact data published within the scope of the legal notice obligation for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and information materials is hereby objected to. The operators of this website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, for example by means of spam e-mails.

4. Data Collection on This Website
Cookies

Our website uses so-called „cookies“. Cookies are small data packages and do not cause any damage to your end device. They are stored either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies) on your end device. Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Persistent cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them yourself or until they are automatically deleted by your web browser.

Cookies may originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services of third-party companies within websites (e.g. cookies for the processing of payment services).

Cookies serve various purposes. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies may be used to analyse user behaviour or for advertising purposes.

Cookies that are required for the performance of the electronic communication process, for the provision of certain functions requested by you (e.g. the shopping cart function), or for the optimisation of the website (e.g. cookies for measuring the web audience) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services. Where consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been obtained, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of that consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDDG); consent may be withdrawn at any time.

You can set your browser to notify you about the placing of cookies and to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are disabled, the functionality of this website may be limited. Where further cookies and services are used on this website, this is set out in the relevant sections of this Privacy Policy.

Server Log Files

The provider of this website automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:

  • Browser type and browser version
  • Operating system used
  • Referrer URL
  • Hostname of the accessing device
  • Time of the server request
  • IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources. The collection of this data is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimisation of its website — for this purpose, the server log files must be recorded.

Enquiries by E-Mail or Telephone

If you contact us by e-mail or telephone, your enquiry, including all personal data arising from it (name, enquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, where your enquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR), or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) where this has been obtained; consent may be withdrawn at any time.

The data you send to us via contact enquiries will remain with us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your enquiry has been fully processed). Mandatory statutory provisions — in particular statutory retention periods — remain unaffected.

5. Consent Management

On our website, we use the consent management tool Borlabs Cookie (Borlabs GmbH, Rübenkamp 32, 22330 Hamburg). The plugin enables us to obtain, manage, and document the legally required consents of users for the use of various web services (such as tracking tools, social media plugins, or embedded media).

When you visit our website, a pop-up (Borlabs Cookie Box) is displayed in which you can actively consent to or decline the use of cookies and scripts by ticking the relevant boxes.

The tool itself stores your selected cookie settings in a dedicated cookie (borlabs-cookie) on your device, so that your preferences are retained for future page visits and your selection is respected when the page is reloaded. The stored UID (a randomly generated ID) does not contain any directly personal data. The processing of your data is carried out in fulfilment of our legal obligation to document consents (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR).

A given consent may be revoked at any time with effect for the future. Deactivation technically requires the page to be reloaded. For more detailed information on data processing by Borlabs, please refer to the privacy policy of Borlabs GmbH.
