Privacy Policy.

Recipients of personal data

In the course of our business activities, we work together with various external entities. In some cases, this also requires the transfer of personal data to these external entities. We only pass on personal data to external entities if this is necessary within the scope of contract fulfillment, if we are legally obliged to do so
(e.g. transfer of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR in the transfer or if another legal basis permits the transfer of data. When using processors, we only pass on personal data of our customers on the
basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint controller agreement is concluded.

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may revoke consent you have already given at any time. The legality of data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to object to processing in specific cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

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

WHERE YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE
RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR SUCH
MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT
MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR
DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(2) GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority

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

Right to data portability

You have the right to receive data that we process on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and to have this data transmitted to yourself or to a third party. Where you request
the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done where technically feasible.

Access, rectification and erasure

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain information free of charge about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient and the purpose of data processing and, where applicable, a right to rectification or erasure of this data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose or for further questions on the subject of personal data.

Right to restriction of 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 restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

If you contest the accuracy of the personal data we hold about you, we usually need
time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to
request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may request the
restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the establishment,
exercise or defence of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of the
processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck
between your interests and ours. As long as it has not yet 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 – apart from its storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.

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

Objection to promotional emails

We hereby object to the use of contact data published in the context of the imprint obligation for sending advertising and information material that has not been expressly requested. The operators of this website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, for example by spam emails.

Cookies

Our internet pages use so-called „cookies“. Cookies are small data packets and do not cause any damage to your device. They are stored either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or your web browser deletes them automatically.

Cookies may originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services of third-party companies within websites (e.g. cookies for processing payment
services).

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

Cookies that are required 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 to measure the web audience) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of necessary cookies for the
technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR
and Section 25(1) TDDDG); consent may 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 in general and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser.
If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted.

Which cookies and services are used on this website can be found in this Privacy Policy.

to the provider of Borlabs Cookie, but is stored exclusively locally in your browser.

The use of Borlabs Cookie serves to fulfill our legal obligations regarding the obtaining and documentation of consents for the use of cookies and comparable
technologies. The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR (fulfillment of a legal obligation) as well as our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR in legally compliant
and user-friendly consent management; with regard to the cookie set in this context, storage is based on Section 25(2)(2) TDDDG.

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, the information you provide in the inquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your request is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), if this was requested; consent can be revoked at any time.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you ask us to erase it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been fully processed). Mandatory statutory provisions –
in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
