In case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also based on Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

Notice on Data Transfers to Non-Secure Third Countries and to US Companies Not Certified Under the DPFWe use, among other things, tools from companies based in countries not considered to offer a secure level of data protection, as well as US tools whose providers are not certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these countries. We point out that such countries may not guarantee a level of data protection comparable to that in the EU.
The USA is considered a secure third country with a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU. Data transfers to the USA are therefore permitted if the recipient is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF) or provides appropriate additional safeguards. Information about data transfers to third countries, including the data recipients, can be found in this privacy policy.
Recipients of Personal DataAs part of our business activities, we cooperate with various external parties. In some cases, the transfer of personal data to these external parties is necessary. We only pass on personal data to external parties if this is necessary for the performance of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the transfer according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the data transfer. When using processors, we only transfer personal data of our customers based on a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.
Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data ProcessingMany data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can withdraw consent at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the withdrawal remains unaffected.
Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6 PARA. 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 FOR EACH PROCESSING OPERATION IS SPECIFIED 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 THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ASSERTION, EXERCISE OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21 PARA. 1 GDPR).
IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL THEN NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21 PARA. 2 GDPR).
Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory AuthorityIn the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. This right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to Data PortabilityYou have the right to receive data that we process based on your consent or in performance of a contract, 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 it is technically feasible.
Right to Access, Rectification, and DeletionYou have the right, within the scope of applicable legal provisions, to receive information at any time, free of charge, about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing. You also have the right to correct or delete this data. For this and other questions on the topic of personal data, you can contact us at any time.
Right to Restrict ProcessingYou have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time to do so. The right to restriction applies in the following cases:
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data may – apart from being stored – only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change in the address line of the browser from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact information you provided there, will be stored with us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass these data on without your consent.
The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry is related to the fulfillment 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(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if it has been requested; consent can be revoked at any time.
The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request 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 statutory provisions—especially retention periods—remain unaffected.

The data you send to 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).
