Withdrawal of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent.
You may revoke consent already given at any time.
An informal email notification is sufficient.
The legality of data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected.
Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
If data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for reasons arising from your particular situation.
This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
If you object, we will no longer process your affected personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR).
If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to processing for such marketing.
This also applies to profiling related to direct marketing.
If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (Art. 21(2) GDPR).
Right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority
In 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 place of the alleged infringement.
This right exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to data portability
You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract, in a commonly used, machine-readable format.
If you request direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done where technically feasible.
SSL / TLS encryption
This website uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content.
You can recognise an encrypted connection by the change in the browser address line from “http://” to “https://” and the lock symbol.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, 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 at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients and the purpose of processing, as well as a right to correction or deletion.
For this purpose, you may contact us at any time using the address provided in the Imprint.
Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data.
This right exists in the following cases: If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually require time to verify this. During verification,
you have the right to request restriction of processing. If processing was/is unlawful, you may request restriction instead of deletion. If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims. If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR and a balancing of interests is pending.
If processing has been restricted, such data may only be processed — apart from storage — with your consent or for legal claims, protection of rights of another person, or for reasons of important public interest.
Objection to promotional emails
The use of contact data published as part of the legal notice obligation for sending unsolicited advertising and informational material is hereby objected to.
