Privacy Policy

1. Overview of Privacy Protection

Introduction

This section provides a concise summary of how your personal information is handled when you access this website. Personal information includes any data that can be used to identify you. For detailed information about our privacy practices, please read the complete privacy policy sections below.

Data Collection on This Website

Who is responsible for data collection on this website?

The website operator is responsible for data processing on this platform. Contact information for the responsible party can be found in the "Information About the Responsible Party" section of this privacy policy.

What methods do we use to collect your information?

Information is collected in two main ways: first, when you voluntarily provide data to us, such as when filling out a contact form or submitting an inquiry.

Additionally, certain information is collected automatically or with your express consent when you browse our website through our technical systems. This primarily includes technical information (such as your internet browser type, operating system, or the time you accessed pages). This technical data is collected immediately upon your arrival on our website.

How is your information used?

Some of the collected data helps ensure that our website functions properly and without errors. Additional information may be used to investigate how visitors interact with our website.

What rights do you have regarding your information?

You have the right to receive free information at any time about the origin, recipients, and purpose of your stored personal data. Furthermore, you can request the correction or deletion of this data. If you have previously consented to data processing, you can revoke this consent at any time for the future. Under certain conditions, you also have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data.

You also have the right to file a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. We are happy to answer your questions about privacy and are available to discuss your concerns.

2. Website Hosting and Content Delivery

Third-Party Hosting Services

This website uses hosting services provided by an external service provider. All personal information collected through this website is stored on servers managed by our hosting provider. This stored information may include IP addresses, contact form submissions, metadata and communication records, contract information, contact data, names, website access logs, and other data generated through website interactions.

We use hosting services to fulfill our contractual obligations to potential and existing customers and to ensure secure, fast, and efficient provision of our online services through a professional provider.

Our hosting provider processes your information only to the extent necessary to fulfill its service obligations and follows our instructions regarding this information.

3. Essential Information and Legal Requirements

Security of Personal Information

The website operators place great importance on protecting your personal information. We treat your personal information with the strictest confidentiality and in accordance with applicable privacy laws and the provisions of this privacy policy.

While you use this website, we collect various types of personal information. Personal information refers to all data that enables your individual identification. This privacy policy describes the types of information we collect, how we use it, and the methods and purposes behind this collection.

Please note that the transmission of information over the Internet (e.g., when sending emails) can have security gaps. Absolute protection of information from unauthorized access by third parties cannot be guaranteed.

Information About the Responsible Party

The responsible party refers to the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (such as names, email addresses, or similar data).

Storage Duration

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 deletion request or revoke consent for data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial retention periods); in the latter case, deletion will occur after these reasons no longer apply.

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke consent you have already given at any time. The legality of data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and Direct Advertising

IF DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF LEGITIMATE INTERESTS OR PUBLIC INTEREST, 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 PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS OR THE PROCESSING SERVES TO ASSERT, EXERCISE, OR DEFEND LEGAL CLAIMS.

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED TO CARRY OUT DIRECT ADVERTISING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH ADVERTISING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT ADVERTISING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING PURPOSES.

Complaint to the Competent Supervisory Authority

In the event of violations of privacy laws, data subjects have the right to file a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the province of their habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged violation. The right to file a complaint exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

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 structured, common, and machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of data to another responsible party, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible.

SSL or TLS Encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Information, Deletion, and Correction

Within the framework of applicable legal provisions, you have the right to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient, and the purpose of data processing at any time, as well as a right to correction or deletion of this data. For this purpose and for further questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at any time.

Right to Restriction of Processing

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

• If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need 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 happened/is happening unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
• If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
• If you have filed an objection pursuant to applicable privacy laws, a balancing of your and our interests must be carried out. As long as it is not yet determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data may – apart from being stored – only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest.

In some cases, cookies from third-party companies may also be stored on your device when you enter our site (third-party cookies). These enable us or you to use certain services of the third-party company (e.g., cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies have various functions. Numerous 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 are used to evaluate user behavior or display advertising.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser.

• Hostname of the accessing computer
• Time of the server request
• IP address

This data is not merged with other data sources.

The collection of this data is based on legitimate interests. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of its website – for this purpose, the server log files must be recorded.

Contact Form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on legitimate interests if your inquiry is related to the fulfillment 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 processing of inquiries addressed to us or on your consent if this has been requested.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your inquiry has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.

Inquiry by Email, Phone, or Fax

If you contact us by email, phone, or fax, your inquiry, including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

The data you send to us via contact requests will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, 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 – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

The processing of the data entered in the newsletter registration form is based exclusively on your consent. You can revoke your consent to the storage of data, the email address, and its use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the "unsubscribe" link in the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.

8. Plugins and Tools

YouTube

This website uses plugins from the YouTube website. The operator of the pages is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

In this way, YouTube can obtain information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to collect video statistics, improve user experience, and prevent fraud attempts.
