A data controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of processing personal data (such as names, email addresses, etc.).
Withdrawing Your Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can withdraw consent you have already given at any time. An informal email to us is sufficient for this. The legality of any data processing carried out before your withdrawal remains unaffected.
Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority
In the event of violations of data protection law, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. The competent supervisory authority for data protection matters is the data protection officer of the German federal state in which our business is based.

Right to Data Portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible.
SSL/TLS Encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as inquiries you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL/TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser's address line changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the padlock icon in your browser bar. When SSL/TLS encryption is enabled, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Information, Blocking, 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 and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, and, if applicable, a right to correction, blocking, or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time using the address given in the legal notice if you have further questions on the subject of personal data.
Cookies
This website partly uses what are known as cookies. Cookies do not cause any damage to your device and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our offering more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device by your browser. Most of the cookies we use are "session cookies," which are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser the next time you visit. You can set your browser to notify you when cookies are set and to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and to enable the automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser. Disabling cookies may limit the functionality of this website. Cookies that are necessary for carrying out electronic communication or for providing certain functions you have requested (such as a shopping cart) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. Where other cookies (such as those used to analyze your browsing behavior) are stored, these are addressed separately in this privacy policy.
Server Log Files
The provider of this website automatically collects and stores information in what are known as server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are: browser type and version, operating system used, referrer URL, host name of the accessing computer, time of the server request, and IP address. This data is not combined with other data sources. This data is collected on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of its website — the server log files must be recorded to achieve this.
Contact Form
If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact information you provide there, will be stored by us 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 the data entered in the contact form is therefore based solely on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. An informal email to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing operations carried out before your revocation remains unaffected. The data you enter in the contact form remains with us until you request that it be deleted, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing it no longer applies (e.g. after your inquiry has been fully processed). Mandatory statutory retention periods remain unaffected.
Google Analytics
This website uses "Google Analytics," a service provided by Google Inc. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA) to analyze how the website is used by visitors. The service uses "cookies" — text files that are stored on your device. The information collected by cookies is generally sent to and stored on a Google server in the USA. IP anonymization is active on this website. Within member states of the EU and the European Economic Area, your IP address is shortened beforehand, which removes its personal reference. Under an agreement on commissioned data processing that the website operator has concluded with Google Inc., Google uses this information to create an evaluation of website usage and website activity and provides services related to internet usage. You can prevent cookies from being stored on your device by adjusting your browser settings accordingly. It cannot be guaranteed that you will be able to access all functions of this website without restriction if your browser does not accept cookies. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie about your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by using a browser plugin, available at: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en. Further information on data use by Google Inc. is available at: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245.
Google Web Fonts
This site uses what are known as web fonts, provided by Google, for the uniform display of typefaces. When you access a page, your browser loads the required web fonts into its browser cache in order to display text and typefaces correctly. To do this, the browser you use must connect to Google's servers. This means Google becomes aware that this website was accessed via your IP address. The use of Google Web Fonts is in the interest of a uniform and appealing presentation of our online offering, which constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If your browser does not support web fonts, a standard font is used by your device instead. Further information on Google Web Fonts can be found at https://developers.google.com/fonts/faq and in Google's privacy policy at https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.
