The responsible entity for data processing on this website is:

Alexander Loehr

Unless a more specific storage period is mentioned within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for 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 reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., retention periods under tax or commercial law). In the latter case, deletion will take place after these reasons no longer apply.

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

If you have given consent to data processing, we process your personal data based on Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 (2) lit. a GDPR, provided that special categories of data as per Art. 9 (1) GDPR are being processed. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is additionally based on Art. 49 (1) lit. a GDPR. If you consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), processing is also based on § 25 (1) TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is necessary for contract performance or pre-contractual measures, we process your data based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR. Additionally, we process your data if it is required to fulfill a legal obligation under Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR. Data processing may also occur based on our legitimate interest under Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. Specific legal bases applicable to each case are explained in this privacy policy.

Recipients of Personal Data

As part of our business activities, we work with various external entities. In some cases, the transfer of personal data to these external parties is necessary. We only transfer personal data to external entities if it is required for contract fulfillment, if we are legally obligated (e.g., providing data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest under Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, or if another legal basis permits data sharing. When using data processors, personal data is only shared with them based on a valid data processing agreement. In cases of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke any previously given consent at any time. The legality of the data processing conducted before the revocation remains unaffected.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Specific Cases and Direct Advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)

If data processing is conducted based on Art. 6 (1) lit. e or f GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation. This also applies to 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 affected 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 assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection under Art. 21 (1) GDPR).

If your personal data is processed for direct advertising purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such advertising; this also applies to profiling related to direct advertising. If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for direct advertising purposes (objection under Art. 21 (2) GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in their habitual residence, place of work, or the location of the alleged infringement. This right to lodge a complaint exists regardless of other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, either to yourself or to a third party, in a commonly used and machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another responsible entity, this will only be done where technically feasible.

Information, Correction, and Deletion

Within the framework of applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients, and the purpose of data processing. You may also have the right to correct or delete this data. For further questions on the topic of personal data, you can contact us at any time.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. To do so, you can contact us at any time. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:

If you dispute 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 the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it to exercise, defend, or assert 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 under Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it is unclear 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, this data – apart from being stored – may only be processed with your consent or for asserting, exercising, or defending legal claims, or for protecting the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a member state.

Cookies may originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (third-party cookies). Third-party cookies allow the integration of specific services by third-party companies within websites (e.g., cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies serve different purposes. Many cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or video playback). Other cookies may be used to analyze user behavior or for advertising purposes.

The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent has been requested for the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies, processing is based solely on this consent (Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG). Consent can be revoked at any time.

Inquiries via Email, Phone, or Fax

If you contact us via email, phone, or fax, your inquiry, including all resulting personal data (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.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR if your request is related to the performance of a contract or necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in effectively handling inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR) or your consent (Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR) if this has been requested; consent can be revoked at any time.

The data you send us via contact inquiries will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – especially statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

YouTube with Extended Data Protection

This website integrates videos from YouTube. The operator of the platform is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

We use YouTube in extended data protection mode. According to YouTube, this mode ensures that YouTube does not store information about visitors to this website before they play a video. However, data may still be transmitted to YouTube partners. Regardless of whether you play a video, YouTube establishes a connection to the Google DoubleClick network.

When you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection to YouTube’s servers is established. The YouTube server is informed about which of our pages you visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to associate your browsing behavior directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

YouTube may also store cookies on your device or use similar recognition technologies (e.g., device fingerprinting). This allows YouTube to collect information about visitors to this website. This information is used for video statistics, improving user experience, and preventing fraud.

The use of YouTube is in the interest of providing an appealing presentation of our online offerings. This constitutes a legitimate interest under Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.

During this process, information such as your IP address and other details about your behavior on this website may be transmitted to OSMF. OpenStreetMap may store cookies in your browser or use similar recognition technologies.
