General information about the legal basis for data processing on this website

If you have consented to the processing of your personal data, we will process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR, as far as special categories of data according to Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR. In the event of express consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also carried out on the basis of Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information in your terminal (e.g. via device fingerprinting), the data processing is also carried out on the basis of Art. 25 para. 1 TDDDG. You may revoke your consent at any time. If your data is necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or for the execution of pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if this is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. Data processing may also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Information on the relevant legal basis in each individual case is provided in the following paragraphs of this Privacy Policy.

Notice regarding the transfer of data to third countries that do not provide adequate data protection and the transfer of data to US companies that are not DPF-certified

Among other things, we use tools from companies located in third countries that do not provide adequate privacy protections, as well as U.S. tools whose providers are not certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). When these tools are active, your personal information may be transferred to and processed in these countries. We would like to point out that the level of data protection in third countries that are not secure in terms of data protection law cannot be guaranteed to be comparable to that in the EU.

We would like to point out that the USA, as a safe third country, generally provides a level of data protection comparable to that in the EU. Data transfers to the USA are therefore permitted if the recipient is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF) or provides appropriate additional safeguards. Information about transfers to third countries, including the recipients of the data, can be found in this Privacy Policy.

Recipients of Personal Information

In the course of our business, we work with various external entities. In some cases, it is necessary to share personal information with these external parties. We only transfer personal data to external parties if this is necessary for the performance of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. transfer of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the transfer of data according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR or if another legal basis permits the transfer of data. When using processors, we only disclose personal data of our customers on the basis of a valid contract for order processing. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement will be concluded.

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF THE DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6 ABS. 1 LIT. E OR F OF THE GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH THE PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING IS NECESSARY FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).

IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING, INCLUDING THE CREATION OF PROFILES IN RELATION TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 21(2) OF THE GDPR).

Right to complain to the competent supervisory authority

In the event of a breach of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged breach. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.

Right to data portability

You have the right to obtain the communication to you or to a third party of data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in performance of a contract, in a commonly used machine-readable format. If you request the data to be transferred directly to another controller, this will only be done if it is technically feasible.

Access, Correction and Deletion

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients as well as the purpose of the data processing and, if applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time with regard to this and other questions concerning personal data.

Right to Restrict Processing

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

  • If you dispute the accuracy of your personal information held by us, we will generally need time to review it. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.
  • If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may request that the processing be restricted instead of erased.
  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defense or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of its deletion.
  • If you object to the processing of your personal data pursuant to Art. 21 para. 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 the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data may be processed - except for its storage - only with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

SSL or TLS Encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security purposes and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or requests, that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

When SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Objection to promotional e-mails

The use of contact data published within the scope of the imprint obligation by third parties for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertisements and information materials is hereby expressly prohibited. The operators of the pages expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event that unsolicited advertising material, such as spam e-mails, is sent.

4. Data collection on this website

Use of cookies

Our web pages use so-called "cookies". Cookies are small data packages that do not cause any damage to your device. They are stored on your device either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Persistent cookies remain on your device until you delete them or your web browser automatically deletes them.

Cookies may come from us (first-party cookies) or from third parties (third-party cookies). Third-party cookies allow certain third-party services to be integrated into websites (e.g., cookies for processing payment services).

Cookies have different functions. Many cookies are technically necessary because certain website features would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies may be used to evaluate user behavior or for advertising purposes.

Cookies that are necessary to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions that you have requested (e.g. for the shopping cart function) or to optimize the website (e.g. cookies for measuring the web audience) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of necessary cookies for the technically faultless and optimized provision of its services. If consent has been requested for the storage of cookies and comparable identification technologies, the processing will be carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TDDDG); the consent can be revoked at any time.

You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies in certain cases or generally and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are disabled, the functionality of this website may be limited.

You can find out which cookies and services are used on this website in this Privacy Policy.

Inquiries by e-mail or phone

If you contact us by e-mail or telephone, we will store and process your request, including all personal data (name, request), for the purpose of processing your request. We will not pass on this data without your consent.

These data are processed on the basis of Art. 6 par. 1 lit. b GDPR, if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of the requests addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR), if this has been requested; consent can be revoked at any time.

The data that you send to us in the context of contact requests will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, until you revoke your consent to storage or until the purpose for which the data was stored no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions - in particular statutory retention periods - remain unaffected.

5. Plugins and tools

Real Cookie Banner

We use the "Real Cookie Banner" consent tool to manage the cookies and similar technologies (tracking pixels, web beacons, etc.) we use and the consents associated with them. Details on how Real Cookie Banner works can be found at: https://devowl.io/de/rcb/datenverarbeitung

The legal basis for the processing of personal data in this context is Art. 6 par. 1 lit. c GDPR and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the management of the cookies and similar technologies used and the related consents.

The provision of personal data is neither contractually required nor necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are under no obligation to provide the personal data. If you do not provide the personal information, we will not be able to manage your consent.

Adobe Fonts

We use Adobe Fonts, a web font hosting service, on our website. The service provider is the American company Adobe Inc. Adobe Systems Software Ireland Companies, 4-6 Riverwalk, Citywest Business Campus, Dublin 24, Ireland, is responsible for the European region.

Adobe may also process your data in the United States. Please be aware that, according to the European Court of Justice, there is currently no adequate level of protection for data transfers to the United States. This may pose various risks to the lawfulness and security of data processing.

Adobe uses so-called standard contractual clauses (= Art. 46. para. 2 and 3 GDPR) as the basis for data processing with recipients located in third countries (outside the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, i.e. in particular the USA) or for data transfers to such countries. The Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) are templates provided by the European Commission to ensure that your data is protected in accordance with European data protection standards when transferred to and stored in third countries, such as the United States. These clauses require Adobe to comply with the European data protection level when processing your relevant data, even if the data is stored, processed, and maintained in the United States. These clauses are based on an implementing decision issued by the EU Commission. The decision and the corresponding standard contractual clauses can be found at: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2021/914/oi?locale=de

For more information about the data processed and Adobe's standard contractual clauses, see https://www.adobe.com/de/privacy/eudatatransfers.html
