When you contact us (e.g. via a contact form or email), personal data is processed exclusively for the purpose of handling and responding to your inquiry, and only to the extent necessary for this purpose.

The legal basis for processing this data is our legitimate interest in responding to your inquiry in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

If you subscribe to our email newsletter, we will regularly send you information about our offers. The only mandatory information required to send the newsletter is your email address. Providing any further data is voluntary and is used to address you personally. We use the so-called double opt-in procedure for sending newsletters, which ensures that you only receive the newsletter once you have expressly confirmed your consent by clicking a verification link sent to the specified email address.

By activating the confirmation link, you give us your consent to use your personal data in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. In doing so, we store the IP address assigned 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 sign up for the newsletter is used strictly for the intended purpose.

You may unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time via the link provided in the newsletter or by sending a corresponding message to the controller named above. Once you have unsubscribed, your email address will be deleted from our newsletter distribution list without delay, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data, or we reserve the right to further use of the data as permitted by law and about which we inform you in this policy.

In this context, we have placed links on our website that lead to offers on the provider's or third parties' websites ("partner sites").

To measure the success of an affiliate link, evaluate orders generated via such a link, and calculate corresponding commission payments, the provider uses cookies and/or comparable technologies, which are generally set on the partner sites and for which we are therefore not responsible under data protection law. The provider regularly processes the IP address and, where applicable, other device information in this context.

All processing described above, in particular the reading or storing of information on the device you use, only takes place if you have given your express consent in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

10. Tools and Other Services

Cookie Consent Tool

This website uses a so-called "cookie consent tool" to obtain effective user consent for cookies and cookie-based applications that require consent. When you access the site, the "cookie consent tool" is displayed to you in the form of an interactive user interface, on which you can give consent for specific cookies and/or cookie-based applications by ticking checkboxes. By using this tool, all cookies/services requiring consent are only loaded if you give the corresponding consent by ticking the relevant boxes. This ensures that such cookies are only placed on your device if you have given your consent.

The tool sets technically necessary cookies to store your cookie preferences. As a general rule, no personal user data is processed in this process.

Should personal data (such as the IP address) nevertheless be processed in individual cases for the purpose of storing, assigning, or logging cookie settings, this is done in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in legally compliant, user-specific, and user-friendly consent management for cookies, and thus in the legally compliant design of our website.

A further legal basis for the processing is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. As the controller, we are subject to a legal obligation to make the use of technically unnecessary cookies dependent on the respective user's consent.

Where necessary, we have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider that ensures the protection of our visitors' data and prohibits unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

Further information about the operator and the settings options of the cookie consent tool can be found directly in the corresponding user interface on our website.

12. Duration of Storage of Personal Data

The duration of storage of personal data is determined by the respective legal basis, the purpose of processing, and — where applicable — the respective statutory retention period (e.g. commercial and tax law retention periods).

Where personal data is processed on the basis of express consent in accordance with Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, the data concerned is stored until you withdraw your consent.

Where statutory retention periods exist for data processed in connection with contractual or quasi-contractual obligations on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, this data is routinely deleted after the retention periods expire, provided it is no longer required for the performance or initiation of a contract and/or we no longer have a legitimate interest in its continued storage.

Where personal data is processed on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, this data is stored until you exercise your right to object in accordance with Art. 21(1) GDPR, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that outweigh your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing serves the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

Where personal data is processed for the purpose of direct marketing on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, this data is stored until you exercise your right to object in accordance with Art. 21(2) GDPR.
