We are very pleased about your interest in our company. Data protection is of particular importance to the management. The use of the website is generally possible without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use special services of our company via our website, processing of personal data may be necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to the operator of this website. With this privacy statement, our company aims to inform the public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights through this privacy statement.

This website has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures as the data controller to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However, internet-based data transmissions may have security vulnerabilities, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us in alternative ways, for example by telephone.

Definitions This privacy statement is based on the terms used by the European Directive and Regulation maker in the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy statement should be easy to read and understand for the public, as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terminology used in advance.

In this privacy statement, we use, among other things, the following terms:

a) Personal data Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter "data subject"). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or one or more special characteristics expressing the physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.

b) Data subject Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller.

c) Processing Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination, or otherwise making available, alignment, or combination, restriction, erasure, or destruction.

d) Restriction of processing Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future.

e) Profiling Profiling is any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movements.

f) Pseudonymization Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

g) Controller or data controller Controller or data controller is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.

h) Processor Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

i) Recipient: The recipient refers to a natural or legal person, authority, agency, or other entity to whom personal data is disclosed, regardless of whether they are a third party. However, it is important to note that authorities that may receive personal data within the framework of a specific investigation mandate under Union law or the laws of the Member States are not considered recipients.

j) Third Party: A third party is a natural or legal person, authority, agency, or other entity other than the data subject, the controller, the processor, and the persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or the processor, are authorized to process personal data. In essence, a third party refers to external entities not directly involved in the processing.

k) Consent: Consent is any freely given, informed, and unambiguous expression of will by the data subject for a specific case, in the form of a statement or another clear affirmative action, by which the data subject indicates agreement to the processing of their personal data. It is crucial that the data subject expresses, in a voluntary and informed manner, their agreement to the processing of their personal data for a particular purpose.

2. Name and Address of the Controller The controller, as defined by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other data protection laws in force in the European Union member states, and other provisions with a data protection character, is:

3. Collection of General Data and Information Upon each visit to the website, the operator of this website collects a range of general data and information from the data subject or an automated system. These general data and information are stored in the server's log files and may include (1) types and versions of browsers used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (referrer), (4) the sub-websites accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an Internet Protocol (IP) address, (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information that serve to fend off risks in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

The operator of this website does not draw conclusions about the data subject when using this general data and information. Instead, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website and its advertising, (3) ensure the ongoing functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyber attack. This anonymously collected data and information are evaluated by the operator of this website statistically and also with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

4. Routine Erasure and Blocking of Personal Data The controller processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the storage purpose or as far as this is granted by the European legislator or other legislators in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.

If the storage purpose is not applicable, or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data are routinely blocked or erased in accordance with legal requirements.

5. Rights of the Data Subject a) Right to Confirmation: Every data subject has the right, granted by the European legislator, to obtain confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data concerning him or her are being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this confirmation right, they can contact an employee of the controller at any time.

b) Right to Information: Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to obtain information from the controller at any time and free of charge about the personal data stored about them and a copy of this information. Furthermore, the European legislator has granted the data subject access to the following information:

the purposes of the processing
the categories of personal data processed
the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organizations
if possible, the envisaged duration for which the personal data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that duration
the existence of the right to request from the controller rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing of personal data concerning the data subject or to object to such processing
the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
if the personal data are not collected from the data subject: All available information on the origin of the data
the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in Article 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject

Additionally, the data subject has the right to know whether personal data has been transferred to a third country or to an international organization. If this is the case, the data subject also has the right to obtain information about the appropriate safeguards in connection with the transfer.

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to information, they can contact an employee of the controller at any time.

c) Right to Rectification: Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to demand the immediate correction of inaccurate personal data concerning them. Furthermore, the data subject has the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data, taking into account the purposes of the processing.

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of rectification, they can contact an employee of the controller at any time.

d) Right to Erasure (Right to be Forgotten): Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to demand from the controller the immediate erasure of personal data concerning them, provided that one of the following reasons applies and insofar as the processing is not necessary:

The personal data has been collected for such purposes or processed in any other way for which it is no longer necessary.
The data subject withdraws their consent on which the processing is based according to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) GDPR.
The personal data has been unlawfully processed.
The erasure of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.
The personal data has been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Article 8(1) GDPR.

If one of the above reasons applies, and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by the operator of this website, they can contact an employee of the controller at any time. The employee of the operator of this website will ensure that the erasure request is complied with immediately.

Where the controller has made personal data public and is obliged, pursuant to Article 17(1) GDPR, to erase the personal data, the controller, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, will take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the personal data that the data subject has requested erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data, as far as processing is not required. The employee of the operator of this website will arrange the necessary measures in individual cases.

e) Right to Restriction of Processing: Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to demand the restriction of processing from the controller if one of the following conditions applies:

The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
The processing is unlawful, and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests instead the restriction of their use.
The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.

If one of the conditions mentioned above is met and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data processing stored by the operator of this website, they can contact an employee of the controller at any time. The employee of the operator of this website will initiate the restriction of processing.

f) Right to Data Portability: Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to receive the personal data concerning them, which was provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. They also have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, where the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means, as long as the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

Furthermore, in exercising their right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) GDPR, the data subject has the right to have personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible, and provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

To assert the right to data portability, the data subject can contact an employee of the operator of this website at any time.

g) Right to Object: Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to object, on grounds relating to their particular situation, at any time, to processing of personal data concerning them, which is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

The operator of this website will no longer process the personal data in the event of the objection, unless there are compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

If the operator of this website processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning them for such marketing. This applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to the operator of this website processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data will no longer be processed for these purposes.

In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to object to the processing of personal data concerning them by the operator of this website for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.

To exercise the right to object, the data subject can contact any employee of the operator of this website or another employee directly. The data subject is also free, in the context of the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to use their right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

h) Automated Individual Decision-Making, Including Profiling: Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affects them, as long as the decision (1) is not necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller, or (2) is not authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is not based on the data subject's explicit consent.

If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller, or (2) it is based on the data subject's explicit consent, the operator of this website shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express their point of view, and to contest the decision.

If the data subject wishes to exercise the rights concerning automated individual decision-making, they can contact an employee of the operator of this website at any time.

i) Right to Withdraw Data Protection Consent: Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to withdraw consent to the processing of personal data at any time.

If the data subject wishes to exercise the right to withdraw consent, they can contact an employee of the operator of this website at any time.

6. Legal Basis for Processing: Article 6(1)(a) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis for processing operations where we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, in processing operations necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of any other service or consideration, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, such as in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which the processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(c) GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor to our premises were to be injured and as a result, their name, age, health insurance data, or other vital information would need to be disclosed to a doctor, hospital, or other third party. In this scenario, the processing would be based on Article 6(1)(d) GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases, where the processing is necessary for the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject. Such processing operations are particularly allowed to us because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the data controller (Recital 47, sentence 2 GDPR).

7. Legitimate Interests Pursued by the Controller or a Third Party: If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business activities for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and shareholders.

8. Duration for Which the Personal Data Will Be Stored: The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After the expiration of the period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided it is no longer required for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of a contract.

9. Legal or Contractual Provisions for the Provision of Personal Data; Necessity for the Conclusion of the Contract; Obligation of the Data Subject to Provide Personal Data; Possible Consequences of Non-Provision: We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or may result from contractual provisions (e.g., information about the contractual partner). Occasionally, it may be necessary for the conclusion of a contract that a data subject provides us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with personal data when our company enters into a contract with them. Failure to provide personal data would have the consequence that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before providing personal data, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will clarify on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract, or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and the consequences of non-provision of the personal data.

10. Existence of Automated Decision-Making: As a responsible company, we do not engage in automated decision-making or profiling.
