Protection Declaration explains which data we collect as well as the purposes we use this
data for. It also explains how, and for which

Information on data transfer to the USA
Our website uses, in particular, tools from companies based in the USA. When these tools
are active, your personal information may be transferred to the US servers of these
companies. We must point out that the USA is not a safe third country within the meaning
of EU data protection law. US companies are required to release personal data to security
authorities without you as the data subject being able to take legal action against this.
The possibility cannot therefore be excluded that US authorities (e.g. secret services) may
process, evaluate and permanently store your data on US servers for monitoring
purposes. We have no influence over these processing activities.
Revocation of your consent to the processing of data
A wide range of data processing transactions are possible only subject to your express
consent. You can also revoke at any time any consent you have already given us. This
shall be without prejudice to the lawfulness of any data collection that occurred prior to
your revocation.

In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects are entitled to log a complaint with a
supervisory agency, in particular in the member state where they usually maintain their
domicile, place of work or at the place where the alleged violation occurred. The right to
log a complaint is in effect regardless of any other administrative or court proceedings
available as legal recourses.
Right to data portability
You have the right to demand that we hand over any data we automatically process on
the basis of your consent or in order to fulfil a contract be handed over to you or a third
party in a commonly used, machine readable format. If you should demand the direct
transfer of the data to another controller, this will be done only if it is technically feasible.
SSL and/or TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as
purchase orders or inquiries you submit to us as the website operator, this website uses
either an SSL or a TLS encryption program. You can recognize an encrypted connection by
checking whether the address line of the browser switches from “http://” to “https://” and
also by the appearance of the lock icon in the browser line.
If the SSL or TLS encryption is activated, data you transmit to us cannot be read by third
parties.
Encrypted payment transactions on this website
If you are under an obligation to share your payment information (e.g. account number if
you give us the authority to debit your bank account) with us after you have entered into
a fee-based contract with us, this information is required to process payments.
Payment transactions using common modes of paying (Visa/MasterCard, debit to your
bank account) are processed exclusively via encrypted SSL or TLS connections. You can
recognize an encrypted connection by checking whether the address line of the browser
switches from “http://” to “https://” and also by the appearance of the lock icon in the
browser line.
If the communication with us is encrypted, third parties will not be able to read the
payment information you share with us.
Information about, rectification and eradication of data
information about your archived personal data, their source and recipients as well as the
purpose of the processing of your data. You may also have a right to have your data
rectified or eradicated. If you have questions about this subject matter or any other
questions about personal data, please do not hesitate to contact us at any time at the
address provided in section “Information Required by Law.”

your personal data is concerned. To do so, you may contact us at any time at the address
provided in section “Information Required by Law.” The right to demand restriction of
processing applies in the following cases:
In the event that you should dispute the correctness of your data archived by us, we will
usually need some time to verify this claim. During the time that this investigation is
ongoing, you have the right to demand that we restrict the processing of your personal
data.
If the processing of your personal data was/is conducted in an unlawful manner, you have
the option to demand the restriction of the processing of your data in lieu of demanding
the eradication of this data.
If we do not need your personal data any longer and you need it to exercise, defend or
claim legal entitlements, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of
your personal data instead of its eradication.
If you have raised an objection pursuant to Art. 21 Sect. 1 GDPR, your rights and our
rights will have to be weighed against each other. As long as it has not been determined
whose interests prevail, you have the right to demand a restriction of the processing of
your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data – with the
exception of their archiving – may be processed only subject to your consent or to claim,
exercise or defend legal entitlements or to protect the rights of other natural persons or
legal entities or for important public interest reasons cited by the European Union or a
member state of the EU.
