Note on Data Transfer to Data Protection-Legally Unsafe Third Countries and Transfer to US Companies That Are Not DPF-CertifiedM
Note on Data Transfer to Data Protection-Legally Unsafe Third Countries and Transfer to US Companies That Are Not DPF-Certified We use tools from companies located in data protection-legally unsafe third countries 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 and processed in these countries. We point out that in data protection-legally unsafe third countries, a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU cannot be guaranteed. We point out that the USA is considered a secure third country and generally has a level of data protection comparable to the EU. A data transfer to the USA is therefore permissible if the recipient has a certification under the "EU-US Data Privacy Framework" (DPF) or has appropriate additional guarantees. Information on transfers to third countries, including the data recipients, can be found in this privacy policy.

Recipients of Personal Data
As part of our business activities, we cooperate with various external entities. In some cases, it is also necessary to transfer personal data to these external entities. We only transfer personal data to external entities if this is necessary for contract fulfillment, if we are legally obligated to do so (e.g., data transfer to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR in the transfer, or if another legal basis allows data transfer. When using contract processors, we only transfer personal data of our customers based on a valid contract for order processing. In the case of joint processing, a contract for joint processing is concluded.

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke any consent you have already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)
IF DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT BASED ON ART. 6 ABS. 1 LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA 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 PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION ACCORDING TO ART. 21 PARA. 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 PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH ADVERTISING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING, INSOFAR AS IT IS ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH DIRECT ADVERTISING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT ADVERTISING (OBJECTION ACCORDING TO ART. 21 PARA. 2 GDPR).

Right to Complain to 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, especially in the Member State of their habitual residence, their place of work, or the place of the alleged violation. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to Data Portability
You have the right to have data, which we process automatically based on 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 responsible party, this will only be done to the extent that it is technically feasible.

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

Right to Restrict Processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. For this purpose, you can contact us at any time. The right to restrict processing exists 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 examination, you have the right to request the restriction of the 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 the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
If you have lodged an objection according to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not been determined 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, these data – apart from their storage – may 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.

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, which 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.

Encrypted Payment Transactions on This Website
If there is an obligation to transmit your payment details (e.g., account number for direct debit authorization) to us after the conclusion of a fee-based contract, these data are required for payment processing.
Payment transactions using common means of payment (Visa/MasterCard, direct debit procedures) are carried out exclusively via an encrypted SSL or TLS connection. 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.
With encrypted communication, your payment data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Objection to Promotional Emails
We hereby expressly prohibit the use of contact data published within the framework of the imprint obligation for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and information materials. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam emails.

7. Plugins and Tools

YouTube with Enhanced Privacy
This website embeds videos from the website YouTube. The operator of the pages is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

We use YouTube in enhanced privacy mode. According to YouTube, this mode means that YouTube does not store any information about visitors to this website before they watch the video. However, the transfer of data to YouTube partners is not necessarily excluded by the enhanced privacy mode. Thus, YouTube – regardless of whether you watch a video – establishes a connection to the Google Marketing Network.

As soon as you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection to YouTube's servers is established. This tells the YouTube server which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to directly associate your browsing behavior with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

Furthermore, YouTube may store various cookies on your device or use comparable recognition technologies (e.g., device fingerprinting) after starting a video. In this way, YouTube can receive information about visitors to this website. This information is used, among other things, to compile video statistics, improve user-friendliness, and prevent fraud attempts.

Other data processing operations may be triggered after starting a YouTube video, over which we have no control.

The use of YouTube is in the interest of an attractive presentation of our online offers. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If the corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user's end device (e.g., device fingerprinting) in the sense of the TTDSG. The consent can be revoked at any time.

More information on data protection at YouTube can be found in their privacy policy at:https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

The company has certification under the "EU-US Data Privacy Framework" (DPF). The DPF is an agreement between the European Union and the USA to ensure compliance with European data protection standards in data processing in the USA. Every company certified under the DPF is committed to complying with these data protection standards.

Adobe Fonts

This website uses Adobe Fonts for the uniform display of certain fonts. The provider is Adobe Systems Incorporated, 345 Park Avenue, San Jose, CA 95110-2704, USA (Adobe).

When you access this website, your browser loads the required fonts directly from Adobe to display them correctly on your device. In doing so, your browser establishes a connection to Adobe's servers in the USA. This enables Adobe to know that your IP address was used to access this website. According to Adobe, no cookies are stored when providing the fonts.

The storage and analysis of the data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the uniform presentation of the font on its website. If the corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user's end device (e.g., device fingerprinting) in the sense of the TTDSG.

Data Transfer at the Conclusion of a Contract for Online Shops, Dealers, and Goods Shipment
When you order goods from us, we pass on your personal data to the transport company entrusted with the delivery and to the payment service provider responsible for payment processing. Only such data is released that the respective service provider needs to fulfill its task. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfillment of a contract or pre-contractual measures. If you have given your consent according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR, we will pass on your email address to the transport company responsible for the delivery so that it can inform you by email about the shipping status of your order; you can revoke this consent at any time.
Credit Checks
For purchases on account or another payment method where we provide services in advance, we may conduct a credit check procedure (scoring). For this purpose, we transmit your entered data (e.g., name, address, age, or bank details) to a credit agency. Based on this data, the probability of a payment default is determined. If there is an excessive risk of payment default, we may refuse the respective payment method. .
The credit check is carried out based on the need for contract fulfillment (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR) and to avoid payment defaults (legitimate interest according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). If consent has been obtained, the credit check is based on this consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR); consent can be revoked at any time.

When you make a purchase from us, your payment details (e.g., name, payment amount, bank account details, credit card number) are processed by the payment service provider for the purpose of payment processing. The respective contractual and data protection regulations of the respective providers apply to these transactions. The use of payment service providers is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR (contract execution) and in the interest of a smooth, comfortable, and secure payment process (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). Where consent is required for certain actions, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR is the legal basis for data processing; consents can be revoked at any time for the future.
