Information on data transfer to the USA
Among the tools integrated into our website are some from companies based
in the USA. When these tools are activated, your personal data may be forwarded
to the US servers of these companies. We 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 such. For this reason, it
cannot be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. secret services) could process,
evaluate and permanently store your data on US servers for monitoring purposes.
Such processing activities are beyond our control.
Withdrawal of your consent to the processing of data
Many data-processing operations are only possible with your express
consent. You can at any time withdraw any consent you have already given. This
shall be without prejudice to the lawfulness of any data collection having
taken place prior to withdrawal.
Right to object to the collection of data in special cases as well as the
right to object to direct advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)
IN THE EVENT THAT DATA ARE PROCESSED ON THE BASIS OF POINT E OR F OF ART.
6(1) OF THE GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO AT ANY TIME OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF
YOUR PERSONAL DATA BASED ON GROUNDS ARISING FROM YOUR UNIQUE SITUATION; THIS
ALSO APPLIES TO ANY PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. TO IDENTIFY THE
PARTICULAR LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH ANY PROCESSING OF DATA IS BASED, REFER TO THIS
DATA PRIVACY STATEMENT. IF YOU FILE AN OBJECTION, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS
YOUR PERSONAL DATA AFFECTED UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE
GROUNDS FOR SUCH PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS
OR PROCESSING SERVES THE PURPOSE OF ESTABLISHING, EXERCISING OR DEFENDING LEGAL
CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21(1) OF THE GDPR).
WHERE YOUR PERSONAL DATA ARE PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU
SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA
CONCERNING YOU FOR SUCH MARKETING, WHICH INCLUDES PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT
IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL
NO LONGER BE PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION UNDER ART.
21(2) OF THE GDPR).
RIGHT TO LODGE A COMPLAINT WITH THE SUPERVISORY AUTHORITY
In the event of any infringement of the GDPR, the data subject shall have
the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in
the Member State of his or her habitual residence, place of work or place of
the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint shall be given without
prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.
Right to data portability
You have the right to demand that we hand over to you or any third party
in a commonly used, machine-readable format any data we automatically process
on the basis of your consent in order to fulfil a contract. If you demand any
direct transfer of 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 communication of confidential
content, such as purchase orders or enquiries you submit to us as the website
operator, this site uses either an SSL or a TLS encryption program. You can
recognise an encrypted connection in the browser's address lines when it
changes from “http://” to “https://” and also by the lock symbol in your
browser bar.
When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you communicate to us
cannot be read by third parties.
Encrypted payment transactions on this website
If entering a fee-based contract involves any obligation to communicate
your payment data to us (e.g. account number in the case of direct debit
authorisation), such data will be required for handling payment.
Payment transactions via the commonly used means of payment
(Visa/MasterCard, direct debit) will be made exclusively via an encrypted SSL
or TLS connection. You can recognise an encrypted connection in the browser's
address lines when it changes from “http://” to “https://” and also by the lock
symbol in your browser bar.
With encrypted communication, your payment data you submit to us cannot
be read by third parties.
Information, erasure and rectification
Within the scope of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the
right at any time to demand information about your stored personal data, their
origin and recipients as well as the purpose for which your data are processed
and, if applicable, also have a right to have your data rectified or erased.
You can contact us at any time at the address given in the Publication Details
if you have questions about the above or any other aspect of personal data.
Right to restriction of processing
You shall have the right to obtain restriction of the processing of your
personal data. You can contact us at any time in this regard at the address
given in the Publication Details. The right to restriction of processing exists
in the following cases:
·
If you contest the accuracy of the personal data
stored with us, we will usually need time to verify such. For the time such
verification takes, you have the right to obtain restriction of the processing
of your personal data.
· If your personal data have been or are being
processed unlawfully, you have the right to obtain restriction of the
processing of your personal data rather than having them erased.
· If we no longer need your personal data, but you
require them for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, you
shall have the right, instead of erasure, to obtain restriction of the
processing of your personal data.
· If you have filed an objection under Art. 21(1)
of the GDPR, your interests must be weighed up against ours. Until such time as
it is established whose interests override, you have the right to obtain
restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data
shall, with the exception of storage, only be processed with your consent or
for the establishment, exercise or defence 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 of a Member State.
Rejection of advertising emails
The use of contact data published within the scope of the obligation to
provide Publication Details for sending advertising and information material
that has not been expressly requested is hereby rejected. 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 by spam mails.
