How long do we store your data?
We adhere to the respective statutory retention period for the maximum duration of the storage of your personal data. Your data will only be stored by us until we no longer need it for our data processing. With regard to the storage of your data, we are bound by the purpose for which we collected your data. Unless a specific storage period is stated in this information, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies.
If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, we must delete your data in the event that there are no other legally permissible reasons for the continued storage of your data, such as retention periods under commercial and tax law. We can only comply with your request for deletion when these reasons no longer apply.
Where do we get your data?
We collect your data because you provide us with the data via a contact form or other means. There is additional data that is collected automatically or only after your consent when you visit our website. This is mainly technical data such as your operating system and the time of the page view.
To whom do we provide your data?
We use tools from third-party companies based in and outside the EU and the EEA. Your personal data may be transferred to these third-party companies if you have activated these tools – unless they are necessary for the functionality of the website.
Furthermore, we also use tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that are not secure under data protection law. Your personal data may also be transferred to these companies if you have activated the corresponding tools. In these countries, there is no level of data protection comparable to that in the EU.
Such data transfer requires an adequacy decision issued by the EU Commission, which ensures a comparable level of protection of your personal data. In the event that there is no such adequacy decision, other appropriate safeguards pursuant to Article 44 GDPR et seq. must be taken.
What rights do you have? – Your data subject rights
You can assert your rights according to Article 12 GDPR et seq. can be asserted.
Revocation of consent to data processing
In part, we process your data with your express consent. You can revoke an already given consent at any time with effect for the future. You assert the revocation by means of informal communication by e-mail to us. You can also contact our data protection officer, he will inform us of your request.

Objection in special cases / against direct advertising, Article 21 DS-GVO
If the data processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6 Paragraph 1 Subparagraph 1 (f) GDPR, then you can object to the processing of your personal data for reasons that arise from your particular situation. This also applies to any profiling – the legal basis for such profiling can be found in this information. If you exercise your right to object, your personal data concerned will no longer be processed unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims under Article 21 Paragraph 1 GDPR.
If we process your personal data for direct marketing, you have the right to object to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such marketing. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to direct advertising. If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be sent for the purpose of direct advertising in accordance with Article 21 Paragraph 2 GDPR.
Right to data portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically handed over to you or to a third party in a common machine-readable format. If you request the transfer of the data to another controller, it will only be done if it is technically possible.

You may also request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. If you have any questions about this right, you can contact us or our data protection officer at any time. A right to restriction exists in the cases specified by law. If you dispute the accuracy of your data, we need time to verify this. For this period, you have the right to request restriction of your data. In the event that the processing of your data is unlawful, you can demand the restriction of processing instead of the deletion of the data. If we no longer need your personal data, but you wish to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request at least the restriction of data processing. If you have lodged an objection in accordance with Article 21 Paragraph 1 GDPR, we must weigh your interests against ours, during which time you have the right to request the restriction of the data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data may – apart from being stored – only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or any Member State.
Right of complaint to a competent supervisory authority
As a data subject, you still have the right to file a complaint with a supervisory authority in the event of violations of the GDPR. This must be the competent supervisory authority under data protection law in your federal state. You always have the right to file a complaint, regardless of what other measures you take.

Data processing by social networks
We use a publicly accessible profile on various social networks.
The social networks may already analyse your behaviour when you visit our website, as we have integrated plug-ins of the social networks or other links. Personal data is also collected if you are not logged in as a user or do not have an account with the respective provider. Your data is collected via cookies that are stored in your terminal device or by recording your IP address.
The social networks create user profiles. In these profiles, they store your interests and preferences so that you are shown interest-based advertising. If you maintain a profile with the respective provider, the advertising will be displayed on all devices on which you are or were logged in.
The data you provide will remain with us until you request us to delete it or revoke your consent to store it. Mandatory legal provisions such as statutory retention periods remain unaffected. Stored cookies, unless they are session cookies, remain on your device until you delete them.

This is a contract prescribed by data protection law in accordance with Art. 28 Paragraph 3 GDPR, which ensures that our commissioned processor only processes the personal data of our website visitors in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the DS-GVO.
Instagram plug-in and Instagram profile
We maintain a profile on Instagram. The provider is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland (hereinafter: „Meta“). In addition, we have integrated a plug-in from Instagram on our website. You can recognise this by the Instagram profile button.
The mere integration of the plug-in does not lead to any direct data transmission to Meta. Personal data is only processed when information is called up that goes beyond the start page of an Instagram profile; this processing is no longer attributable to us as the operator, as you have voluntarily placed yourself under Meta’s data sovereignty with your consent through the „two-click solution“.
The legal basis for our data processing is our legitimate interest in achieving the greatest possible visibility in social media in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Subparagraph 1 (f) GDPR. If a corresponding consent has been requested, Meta’s data processing is based on your consent in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Subparagraph 1 (a) GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future. You can revoke your consent by sending us an informal e-mail. You can also contact our data protection officer, who will inform us of your request. However, the legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation exercised by you.
The use of an Instagram profile does not result in joint responsibility for any data processing of personal data according to Article 26 GDPR. By using the „two-click solution“ provided by us, you voluntarily decide to place yourself under the data sovereignty of Meta. Contrary to the ECJ ruling of 05.06.2018, C-210/16, there is therefore no responsibility based on a joint decision on the purposes and means of data processing, as Meta only processes personal data at the time when you have already voluntarily placed yourself under Meta’s data sovereignty. The processing of personal data that takes place after the transfer to Meta is not attributable to us. Furthermore, in the event of joint responsibility, the required agreement pursuant to Art. 26 Paragraph 3 of GDPR can be found in the addendum provided by Meta: https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum. According to this agreement, we are obliged to provide the data protection information in accordance with Article 13 GDPR et seq. and to integrate the Meta-Tool on our website in a data protection compliant manner. You can assert your data protection rights directly with Meta. In the event that you assert your data protection rights with us in relation to the use of Instagram, we are obliged to forward your request to Meta.
The data processed by Meta is also transferred to the USA and other third countries. The data transfer to the USA is again based on an adequacy decision of the EU Commission. Meta is a certified partner for the EU-US Privacy Framework. Details can be found at: https://facebook.com/legal/EU_data_transfer_addendum, https://de-de.facebook.com/help/566994660333381 and https://facebook.com/policy.php. Further information can be found in the Terms of Use and the Privacy Policy. These can be found at: https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/ and https://de-de.facebook.com/legal/terms/.

Furthermore, Google also uses the data to create anonymised user profiles and to display user behaviour in statistics.
„E-commerce measurement“: With the help of this measurement, we analyse the purchasing behaviour of our website visitors in order to improve our offer on our website. Google stores information such as orders placed, average order values, shipping costs and the time from viewing to purchasing a product. Google then summarises this information and assigns it to the respective user.

We use the Google Ads online advertising programme to play advertisements in Google or on third-party websites when certain terms are entered in Google (keyword targeting). The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter: „Google“). Furthermore, Google also pursues target group targeting, which displays advertising tailored to the target group by means of user data stored at Google, such as location data or interests. As website operators, we can evaluate and analyse this data in order to improve our services. In particular, we are interested in which search terms were entered and how many ads led to corresponding clicks.
The legal basis for our data processing is our obligation to carry out public relations work in social media in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Subparagraph 1 (e), Paragraph 3 Subparagraph 1 (b) GDPR in conjunction with Article 4 Paragraph 1 BayDSG. This also includes the effective marketing of our products and services.
