When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these countries and processed there. We would like to point out that no level of data protection comparable to that of the EU can be guaranteed in non-secure third countries.

When using processors, we only share personal customer data based on a valid processing agreement. In cases of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded. Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke any previously given consent at any time.

THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT,

WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR THE PROCESSING SERVES TO ASSERT, EXERCISE OR DEFEND LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21(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 YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR SUCH ADVERTISING PURPOSES; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT ADVERTISING.

In the event of GDPR violations, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or the location of the alleged violation. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies. Right to Data Portability

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:

If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we will usually need time to verify this. For the duration of this verification process, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may request restriction of data processing instead of deletion.

If we no longer need your personal data but you require it for exercising, defending, or asserting legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing instead of deletion.

If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(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 restriction of processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data – apart from being stored – may only be processed with your consent or for asserting, exercising, or defending legal claims or for protecting the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.
