This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of answering your request or for establishing contact and the associated technical administration. The legal basis for processing the data is our legitimate interest in answering your request in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. If your contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. Your data will be deleted after your request has been finally processed. This is the case if the circumstances indicate that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified and provided that there are no statutory retention periods to the contrary.

Use of your data for direct marketing
Subscribe to our email newsletter
If you subscribe to our email newsletter, we will regularly send you information about our offers. The only mandatory information for sending the newsletter is your email address. Providing any other data is voluntary and will be used to address you personally. We use the so-called double opt-in procedure to send the newsletter. This means that we will only send you an email newsletter once you have expressly confirmed that you consent to receiving newsletters. We will then send you a confirmation email asking you to confirm that you wish to receive newsletters in the future by clicking on a corresponding link. By activating the confirmation link, you give us your consent to use your personal data in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR. When you subscribe to the newsletter, we save the IP address entered by your Internet service provider (ISP) as well as the date and time of registration so that we can trace any possible misuse of your email address at a later date. The data we collect when you register for the newsletter will be used exclusively for the purposes of contacting you for advertising purposes via the newsletter. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time using the link provided in the newsletter or by sending a corresponding message to the person responsible mentioned above. After unsubscribing, your email address will be immediately deleted from our newsletter distribution list unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use the data in any other way that is permitted by law and about which we will inform you in this declaration.
Newsletter dispatch via CleverReach
Our email newsletter is sent via the technical service provider CleverReach GmbH & Co. KG, Mühlenstr. 43, 26180 Rastede ("CleverReach"), to whom we share the data you provided when registering for the newsletter. This sharing occurs in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR and serves our legitimate interest in using an effective, secure, and user-friendly newsletter system. The data you enter to subscribe to the newsletter (e.g., email address) is stored on CleverReach's servers in Germany or Ireland.
CleverReach uses this information to send and statistically evaluate the newsletter on our behalf. For evaluation purposes, the emails sent contain so-called web beacons or tracking pixels, which are single-pixel image files stored on our website. This makes it possible to determine whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links have been clicked. With the help of so-called conversion tracking, it can also be analyzed whether a predefined action (e.g. purchase of a product on our website) has taken place after clicking on the link in the newsletter. Technical information is also recorded (e.g. time of retrieval, IP address, browser type and operating system). The data is collected exclusively in pseudonymous form and is not linked to your other personal data; direct personal reference is excluded. This data is used solely for the statistical analysis of newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to better tailor future newsletters to the interests of the recipients.
If you wish to object to data analysis for statistical evaluation purposes, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter.
We have concluded a data processing agreement with CleverReach, in which we oblige CleverReach to protect our customers' data and not to pass it on to third parties.

The applicable data protection law grants you comprehensive rights as a data subject (rights to information and intervention) vis-à-vis the controller with regard to the processing of your personal data, about which we will inform you below:
Right to information according to Art. 15 GDPR:
In particular, you have the right to information about your personal data processed by us, the purposes of the processing, the categories of personal data processed, the recipients or categories of recipients to whom your data has been or will be disclosed, the planned storage period or the criteria for determining the storage period, the existence of a right to rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, objection to processing, complaint to a supervisory authority, the origin of your data if it was not collected from you by us, the existence of automated decision-making including profiling and, if applicable, meaningful information about the logic involved and the scope and intended effects of such processing concerning you, as well as your right to information about the guarantees pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR when your data is transferred to third countries.
Right to information according to Art. 15 GDPR:
You have the right to have any inaccurate data concerning you corrected without delay and/or to have any incomplete data stored by us completed.
Right to erasure according to Art. 17 GDPR:
You have the right to request the erasure of your personal data if the conditions of Art. 17 (1) GDPR are met. However, this right does not apply if processing is necessary to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information, to fulfill a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest, or to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims.
Right to restriction of processing pursuant to Art. 18 GDPR:
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data as long as the accuracy of your data, which you contest, is being verified, if you refuse to delete your data due to unlawful data processing and instead request the restriction of the processing of your data, if you need your data to assert, exercise or defend legal claims after we no longer need this data after the purpose has been achieved, or if you have lodged an objection for reasons related to your particular situation, as long as it has not yet been determined whether our legitimate reasons outweigh yours.
Right to information according to Art. 19 GDPR:
If you have asserted your right to rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing vis-à-vis the controller, the controller is obligated to inform all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you was disclosed of this rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing, unless doing so proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort. You have the right to be informed of these recipients.
Right to data portability according to Art. 20 GDPR:
You have the right to receive your personal data that you have provided to us in a structured, common and machine-readable format or to request that it be transmitted to another controller, where technically feasible.
Right to revoke consent given in accordance with Art. 7 (3) GDPR:
You have the right to revoke your consent to the processing of your data at any time with future effect. In the event of revocation, we will delete the data in question immediately, unless further processing can be based on a legal basis for processing without consent. Revoking your consent does not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of your consent until the revocation.
Right to lodge a complaint pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR:
If you consider that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement, without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.
