GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the disclosure of this data. When using processors, we only disclose
personal data of our customers on the basis of a valid contract on data processing. In the case of joint

Revocation of your consent to the processing of data
A wide range of data processing transactions are possible only subject to your express consent. You can also

concerned. To do so, you may contact us at any time. The right to demand restriction of processing applies in
the following cases:
In the event that you should dispute the correctness of your data archived by us, we will usually need
some time to verify this claim. During the time that this investigation is ongoing, you have the right to
demand that we restrict the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data was/is conducted in an unlawful manner, you have the option to
demand the restriction of the processing of your data instead of demanding the eradication of this data.
If we do not need your personal data any longer and you need it to exercise, defend or claim legal
entitlements, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead
of its eradication.
If you have raised an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, your rights and our rights will have to be
weighed against each other. As long as it has not been determined whose interests prevail, you have the
right to demand a restriction of the processing of your personal data.

the European Union or a member state of the EU.

SSL and/or TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as purchase orders or
inquiries you submit to us as the website operator, this website uses either an SSL or a TLS encryption
program. You can recognize an encrypted connection by checking whether the address line of the browser
switches from “http://” to “https://” and also by the appearance of the lock icon in the browser line.
If the SSL or TLS encryption is activated, data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Rejection of unsolicited e-mails
We herewith object to the use of contact information published in conjunction with the mandatory
information to be provided in our Site Notice to send us promotional and information material that we have
not expressly requested. The operators of this website and its pages reserve the express right to take legal
action in the event of the unsolicited sending of promotional information, for instance via SPAM messages.

Our websites and pages use what the industry refers to as “cookies.” Cookies are small data packages that do
not cause any damage to your device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session

until you actively delete them, or they are automatically eradicated by your web browser.
Cookies can be issued by us (first-party cookies) or by third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies).
Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services of third-party companies into websites (e.g.,
cookies for handling payment services).
Cookies have a variety of functions. Many cookies are technically essential since certain website functions
would not work in the absence of these cookies (e.g., the shopping cart function or the display of videos).
Other cookies may be used to analyze user behavior or for promotional purposes.
Cookies, which are required for the performance of electronic communication transactions, for the provision
of certain functions you want to use (e.g., for the shopping cart function) or those that are necessary for the
optimization (required cookies) of the website (e.g., cookies that provide measurable insights into the web
audience), shall be stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless a different legal basis is cited. The
operator of the website has a legitimate interest in the storage of required cookies to ensure the technically
error-free and optimized provision of the operator’s services. If your consent to the storage of the cookies

cookies in certain cases or in general or activate the delete-function for the automatic eradication of cookies
when the browser closes. If cookies are deactivated, the functions of this website may be limited.
Which cookies and services are used on this website can be found in this privacy policy.

7 / 14
exists. This shall be without prejudice to any mandatory legal retention periods.
The Usercentrics banner on this website has been configured with the assistance of eRecht24. This can be
identified by the eRecht24 logo. To display the eRecht24 logo in the banner, a connection to the image

with a German provider. The banner as such is provided exclusively by Usercentrics.
Usercentrics uses cookies to obtain the declarations of consent mandated by law. The legal basis for the use
of specific technologies is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.

Contact form
If you submit inquiries to us via our contact form, the information provided in the contact form as well as any
contact information provided therein will be stored by us in order to handle your inquiry and in the event
that we have further questions. We will not share this information without your consent.
The processing of these data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, if your request is related to the execution of a
contract or if it is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases the processing is based
on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the requests addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or
on your agreement (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if this has been requested; the consent can be revoked at any time.
The information you have entered into the contact form shall remain with us until you ask us to eradicate the

Request by e-mail, telephone, or fax
If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, your request, including all resulting personal data (name,

Communication via WhatsApp
For communication with our customers and other third parties, one of the services we use is the instant
messaging service WhatsApp. The provider is WhatsApp Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand
Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.
8 / 14
The communication is encrypted end-to-end (peer-to-peer), which prevents WhatsApp or other third parties
from gaining access to the communication content. However, WhatsApp does gain access to metadata
created during the communication process (for example, sender, recipient, and time). We would also like to
point out that WhatsApp has stated that it shares personal data of its users with its U.S.-based parent
company Meta. Further details on data processing can be found in the WhatsApp privacy policy at:
https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/#privacy-policy.
The use of WhatsApp is based on our legitimate interest in communicating as quickly and effectively as
possible with customers, interested parties and other business and contractual partners (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
If a corresponding consent has been requested, data processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of the
consent; this consent may be revoked at any time with effect for the future.
The communication content exchanged between you and us on WhatsApp remains with us until you request
us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for which the data is stored ceases to apply
(e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions, in particular retention periods,
remain unaffected.
The company is certified in accordance with the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (DPF). The DPF is an
agreement between the European Union and the US, which is intended to ensure compliance with European
data protection standards for data processing in the US. Every company certified under the DPF is obliged to
comply with these data protection standards. For more information, please contact the provider under the
following link:
https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/participant/7735.
We use WhatsApp in the “WhatsApp Business” variant.
Data transmission to the US is based on the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) of the European
Commission. Details can be found here:
https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/business-data-transfer-addendum?lang=en.
We have set up our WhatsApp accounts in such a way that there is no automatic synchronization of data
with the address book on the smartphones in use.
We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) with the above-mentioned provider.

7. Online-based Audio and Video Conferences (Conference tools)

Data processing
We use online conference tools, among other things, for communication with our customers. The tools we
use are listed in detail below. If you communicate with us by video or audio conference using the Internet,
your personal data will be collected and processed by the provider of the respective conference tool and by
us. The conferencing tools collect all information that you provide/access to use the tools (email address
and/or your phone number). Furthermore, the conference tools process the duration of the conference, start
11 / 14
and end (time) of participation in the conference, number of participants and other “context information”
related to the communication process (metadata).
Furthermore, the provider of the tool processes all the technical data required for the processing of the
online communication. This includes, in particular, IP addresses, MAC addresses, device IDs, device type,
operating system type and version, client version, camera type, microphone or loudspeaker and the type of
connection.
Should content be exchanged, uploaded, or otherwise made available within the tool, it is also stored on the
servers of the tool provider. Such content includes, but is not limited to, cloud recordings, chat/ instant
messages, voicemail uploaded photos and videos, files, whiteboards, and other information shared while
using the service.
Please note that we do not have complete influence on the data processing procedures of the tools used. Our
possibilities are largely determined by the corporate policy of the respective provider. Further information
on data processing by the conference tools can be found in the data protection declarations of the tools
used, and which we have listed below this text.

Purpose and legal bases
The conference tools are used to communicate with prospective or existing contractual partners or to offer
certain services to our customers (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR). Furthermore, the use of the tools serves to generally
simplify and accelerate communication with us or our company (legitimate interest in the meaning of Art.
6(1)(f) GDPR). Insofar as consent has been requested, the tools in question will be used on the basis of this
consent; the consent may be revoked at any time with effect from that date.

Duration of storage
Data collected directly by us via the video and conference tools will be deleted from our systems
immediately after you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or the reason for storing the
data no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your end device until you delete them. Mandatory legal
retention periods remain unaffected.
We have no influence on the duration of storage of your data that is stored by the operators of the
conference tools for their own purposes. For details, please directly contact the operators of the conference
tools.
