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

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data based on Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a DSGVO or Art. 9 Abs. 2 lit. a DSGVO, if special categories of data according to Art. 9 Abs. 1 DSGVO are processed.

If your data is required for the performance of a contract or for pre-contractual measures, we process your data based on Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. b DSGVO. Furthermore, we process your data if it is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation based on Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. c DSGVO. Data processing may also be based on our legitimate interest under Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The specific legal bases applicable in each individual case are explained in the following sections of this privacy policy.

Recipients of Personal Data

In the course of our business activities, we work with various external parties. In some cases, this requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only share personal data with external parties if it is necessary for the performance of a contract, if we are legally obligated to do so (e.g. disclosure of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the transfer under Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f DSGVO, or if another legal basis permits the data transfer. When using processors, we only transfer our customers’ personal data 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 explicit consent. You can withdraw any consent you have previously given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out up to the point of withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

Right to Object to Data Processing in Specific Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 DSGVO)

IF DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF ARTICLE ART. 6 ABS. 1 LIT. E OR F DSGVO, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME, FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE SPECIFIC 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 THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR IF THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21 ABS. 1 DSGVO).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR SUCH MARKETING PURPOSES; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21 ABS. 2 DSGVO).

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

In the event of violations of the DSGVO, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of their habitual residence, their workplace, or the location of the alleged infringement. This right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in performance of a contract, and to have it transferred to yourself 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 take place to the extent technically feasible.

Right of Access, Rectification, and Deletion

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain, free of charge, information about your stored personal data, their origin, recipients, and the purpose of data processing, as well as, if applicable, the right to rectify or delete this data. You can contact us at any time regarding this or any other questions concerning personal data.

Right to Restrict Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time to exercise this right. The right to restrict processing applies in the following cases:

• If you dispute the accuracy of the personal data we have stored about you, we usually need time to verify this. During the verification period, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
• If the processing of your personal data occurred/is occurring unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
• If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for exercising, defending, or asserting legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
• If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 Abs. 1 DSGVO, 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 the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data – apart from their storage – may only be processed with your consent, or for the establishment, 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 European Union or a Member State.

SSL / TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries you send to us as the website operator, this site uses SSL / TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change in the browser’s address bar from ‘http://’ to ‘https://’ and by the padlock symbol in your browser’s address bar.

When SSL / TLS encryption is enabled, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Objection to Promotional e-mails

The use of contact information published as part of the legal notice for sending unsolicited advertising and informational materials is hereby objected to. The website operators expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of promotional information, such as spam e-mails.

Our websites use so-called cookies. Cookies are small data packets and do not cause any damage to your device. They are stored on your device either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted after the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or 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 provided by third-party companies within websites (e.g. cookies for processing payment services).

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

Cookies that are required for carrying out the electronic communication process, for providing certain functions requested by you (e.g. for the shopping cart function), or for optimizing the website (e.g. cookies used to measure web audience) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f DSGVO, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a DSGVO und § 25 Abs. 1 TDDDG); consent can be revoked at any time.

You can configure your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be limited.

If additional cookies and services are used on this website, you can find this information in this privacy policy.

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, the information you provide in the form, including the contact details you enter, will be stored for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not share this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. b DSGVO if your inquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f DSGVO) or on your consent (Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a DSGVO) if such consent has been obtained; consent can be revoked at any time.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent for storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your inquiry has been fully processed). Mandatory legal provisions – particularly retention periods – remain unaffected.

Inquiry via E-Mail or Telephone

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

Language Preference

We use our self-coded Plugin Language Preference on this website. The provider is Gordana Heyden-Gueli, Klosterweg 11, 83536 Gars am Inn, Deutschland.

hCaptcha

We use hCaptcha (hereinafter referred to as hCaptcha) on this website. The provider is Intuition Machines, Inc., 1065 SW 8th St #704, Miami FL 33130, USA (hereinafter referred to as IMI).

hCaptcha is used to verify whether the data entered on this website (e.g. in a contact form) is provided by a human or by an automated program. For this purpose, hCaptcha analyzes the behavior of the website visitor based on various characteristics.

This analysis begins automatically as soon as the website visitor accesses a website with hCaptcha enabled. For the purpose of the analysis, hCaptcha evaluates various types of information (e.g. IP address, time spent on the website, or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is transmitted to IMI. If hCaptcha is used in invisible mode the analysis runs entirely in the background. Website visitors are not informed that such an analysis is taking place.

The storage and analysis of the data are carried out on the basis of Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its web services from abusive automated scraping and from spam. If corresponding consent has been obtained, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Article Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a DSGVO and § 25 Abs. 1 TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user’s device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent can be withdrawn at any time.

The data processing is based on standard contractual clauses, which are included in the data processing addendum to IMI’s general terms and conditions or in the data processing agreements.
