Unless a more specific storage period has been specified in this Privacy Policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or withdraw your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible grounds for storing your personal data (e.g. tax or commercial retention periods); in the latter case, the data will be deleted once these grounds no longer apply.
General information on the legal bases for data processing on this website
If you have given your consent to the processing of your data, we process your personal data on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR, insofar as special categories of personal data pursuant to Article 9(1) GDPR are processed.
In the event of express consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also carried out on the basis of Article 49(1)(a) GDPR.
If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to access to information on your end device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), the data processing is also carried out on the basis of Section 25(1) TDDDG. Consent may be withdrawn at any time.
If your data is required for the performance of a contract or for carrying out pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. We also process your data insofar as this is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, on the basis of Article 6(1)(c) GDPR.

Recipients of personal data
In the course of our business activities, we work with various external parties. In some cases, this also requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only disclose personal data to external parties if this is necessary for the performance of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. disclosure of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the disclosure pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the disclosure of the data. When using processors, we only disclose our customers’ personal data on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.
Withdrawal of your consent to data processing
Right to object to data collection in specific cases and to
direct marketing (Article 21 GDPR)
IF THE DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT ON THE BASIS OF ARTICLE 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, 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 PERSONAL DATA CONCERNED, 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 ARTICLE 21(1) GDPR).
IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA ARE PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL THEN NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 21(2) GDPR).
Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority
In the event of infringements of the GDPR, data subjects have the 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 infringement. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to data portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be carried out where technically feasible.
Access, rectification and erasure
Within the framework of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing, and, where applicable, the right to request the rectification or erasure of this data. You may contact us at any time regarding this or any other questions relating to personal data.
Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time regarding this matter.
The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:
- If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally 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 or is unlawful, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of the erasure of the data.
- If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the exercise, defence or establishment of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of its erasure.
- If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR, a balancing exercise must be carried out between your interests and our interests. Until it has 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 may, apart from its storage, 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.
SSL/TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the website operator, this website uses SSL/TLS encryption.
You can recognise an encrypted connection by the browser’s address bar changing from “http://” to “https://” and by the padlock symbol in your browser’s address bar.
When SSL/TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
5. Data collection on this website
Cookies
Our websites use so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small data packages and do not cause any damage to your end device. They are either stored temporarily on your end device for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies).
Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Persistent cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them yourself or they are automatically deleted by your web browser.
Cookies may be set by us (first-party cookies) or by third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services provided by third-party companies into websites (e.g. cookies for processing payment services).
Cookies have various functions. Numerous cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping basket function or the display of videos). Other cookies may be used to analyse user behaviour or for advertising purposes.
Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions requested by you (e.g. for the shopping basket function) or to optimise the website (e.g. cookies for measuring website audience) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified.
The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies to ensure the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies and similar recognition technologies has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG); consent may be withdrawn at any time.
You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set and to allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, to accept cookies in certain cases or generally reject them, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser. If cookies are disabled, the functionality of this website may be limited.
If additional cookies and services are used on this website, you will find information about them in this Privacy Policy.
Server log files
The provider of these 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
- Operating system used
- Referrer URL
- Hostname of the accessing computer
- Time of the server request
- IP address
These data are not combined with data from other sources.
The collection of this data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in ensuring the technically error-free presentation and optimisation of its website – the server log files must be collected for this purpose.
Contact form
If you send us enquiries via the contact form, we will store the information you provide in the enquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, for the purpose of processing your enquiry and in case of any follow-up questions. We will not disclose this data to third parties without your consent.
The processing of this data is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, insofar as your enquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of enquiries addressed to us (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR), if this has been requested; consent may be withdrawn at any time.
The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your enquiry has been fully processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.
Enquiries by email, telephone or fax
If you contact us by email, telephone or fax, your enquiry including all personal data arising from it (name, enquiry) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We do not pass on this data without your consent.
The processing of this data is based on Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, provided your enquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of enquiries 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 sent to us by you via contact requests remains with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.

7. Integration of a LinkedIn feed
On our website, we use the WordPress plugin ProFeed to display public posts from our LinkedIn corporate page on our website.
The display of the LinkedIn feed is blocked by default via our consent management system, Borlabs Cookie. Processing by the external services used to provide the feed only takes place after the user has given their consent.
After consent has been granted, the plugin retrieves the data required to display the feed via an interface provided by ProFeedWP. The retrieval used for this purpose takes place via our web server. In particular, the public URL of our LinkedIn corporate page is transmitted to the ProFeedWP API. The retrieved feed data is subsequently processed or temporarily cached on our web server and used to display the feed on our website.
The provider of the ProFeedWP API is ProFeedWP.
Further information on data processing by ProFeedWP can be found in the provider's privacy policy:
https://profeedwp.com/privacy-policy/
