2. General Notes

SSL / TLS Encryption

When you enter data on websites, place online orders, or send emails over the internet, there is always a risk that unauthorized third parties may access your data. Complete protection against such access is not possible.

However, we take all reasonable measures to protect your data to the best of our ability. An important protection mechanism is the SSL or TLS encryption of this website. This ensures that data transmitted to us cannot be read by third parties.

You can recognize encrypted connections by the lock icon in your browser’s address bar and by the fact that our website address begins with https:// rather than http://.

Data Retention

In some sections of this Privacy Policy, we inform you about how long we or companies processing data on our behalf store your data.

If no specific retention period is stated, we store your personal data until the purpose for processing no longer applies, you object to the processing, or you withdraw your consent.

However, we may continue to process your data if at least one of the following conditions applies:

We have compelling legitimate grounds for processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms.
The processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
We are legally required to retain the data.

In such cases, your data will be deleted once these conditions no longer apply.

Data Transfer to the United States

Some tools used on our website may transfer your data to companies located in the United States, where it may be stored and processed.

The European Commission has adopted an adequacy decision for the EU–US Data Privacy Framework, confirming that the United States provides an adequate level of protection for personal data transferred from the EU to certified companies in the US.

This framework includes limitations and safeguards regarding access to data by US intelligence services, oversight mechanisms, and legal remedies available to EU citizens.

A list of certified companies can be found at:

https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/s/participant-search

Please note that changes to the European Commission’s decision cannot be ruled out.

3. Your Rights

Under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), you have the following rights:

Right to Object to Data Processing

If the processing of your data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest), you have the right to object to this processing at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation.

This also applies to profiling based on this provision.

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 serves to establish, exercise, or defend legal claims.

If your objection concerns direct marketing, no overriding legitimate grounds will apply.

Withdrawal of Consent

Many data processing operations are carried out on the basis of your consent.

You may withdraw your consent at any time without providing reasons in accordance with Article 7(3) GDPR.

Once consent has been withdrawn, we will no longer process your data unless we are legally obliged to retain it.

Right to Lodge a Complaint with a Supervisory Authority

If you believe that the processing of your personal data violates the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority pursuant to Article 77 GDPR.

You may contact a supervisory authority in the EU member state of your residence, workplace, or the place of the alleged violation.

Under Article 15 GDPR, you have the right to obtain information about the personal data we store about you, its origin, the recipients of the data, and the purpose of the storage.

If your data is incorrect, you have the right to request correction (Article 16 GDPR). Under the conditions of Article 17 GDPR, you may request the deletion of your data.

Right to Restriction of Processing

Under Article 18 GDPR, you may request the restriction of processing of your personal data under certain circumstances.

This applies in particular if:
