Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Data Collection on Our Website
Cookies
Our websites use so-called cookies in part. Cookies do not cause any harm to your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies are used to make our offer more user-friendly, efficient, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser. Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies.” They are automatically deleted after your visit. Other cookies remain on your device until you delete them. These cookies allow us to recognize your browser during your next visit.
You can set your browser to notify you when cookies are set and allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are disabled, the functionality of this website may be limited.
Cookies that are necessary for the electronic communication process or to provide certain functions desired by you (e.g., shopping cart function) are stored on the basis of Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If other cookies are stored (e.g., cookies for analyzing your browsing behavior), they will be treated separately in this Privacy Policy.
Server Log Files
The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:
• Browser type and browser version
• Used operating system
• Referrer URL
• Hostname of the accessing computer
• Time of server request
• IP address
A merging of this data with other data sources is not performed.
The basis for data processing is Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR, which allows the processing of data for the fulfillment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.
Contact Form
If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact data you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the request and in case of follow-up questions. We will not share this data without your consent.
The processing of the data entered into the contact form is therefore done solely based on your consent (Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. A simple email to us is sufficient for this. The legality of the data processing carried out until the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.
The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent for storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after processing your request). Mandatory statutory provisions – especially retention periods – remain unaffected.
