In this regard, you can, for example, obtain information about processing purposes; categories of personal data; categories of recipients to whom your personal data have been or will be disclosed; storage period; existence of a right to correction, deletion, restriction of processing or objection; existence of a right of appeal to the supervisory authority; origin of your data, if these were not collected by us; existence of automated decision-making including profiling.

b) Right to correction
You have the right to have incorrect or incomplete personal data corrected without delay.

c) Right to cancellation ("Right to oblivion")
You have a right to immediate deletion ("right to be forgotten") of your personal data, if, for example, the purpose of processing is no longer necessary, in the event of revocation of consent, in the absence of a legal basis for processing your personal data.

d) Right to limitation of processing
You have the right to restrict the processing of your personal data, for example if the accuracy of the data is disputed, the processing is unlawful and you refuse the deletion and instead request the restriction of use and we no longer need this for the purposes of the processing, but these for your part to assert, exercise or defend legal claims or an objection has been filed against the processing.

e) Right to data transferability
You have the right to have personal data that you have provided us handed over in a structured, common and machine-readable format and to hand it over to another person in charge if the processing is automated.
Your personal data will only be transferred directly to another person responsible if this is technically feasible.

f) Right of objection
You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation. We will no longer process your personal data after revocation, unless we can prove compelling reasons worthy of protection for the processing, which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
Furthermore, you may at any time object to the processing of your personal data for the purpose of direct marketing.

g) Law for automated decisions including profiling

7. protection of your data when visiting our website

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or requests that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

8 Data collection on our website

a) Server log files
The provider of the 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
• Host name of the accessing computer
• Time of the server request
• IP address

These data are not combined with other data sources.
The basis for data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.

b) Contact form
If you send us enquiries using the contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including the contact data you provided there, will be stored for processing the enquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent.
The processing of the data entered in the contact form therefore takes place exclusively based on your consent. You can revoke this consent at any time. In this regard, an informal communication to us by e-mail is sufficient.

The legality of the data processing processes carried out up to the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
The data entered by you in the contact form remain with us until you request that we delete it, revoke your consent to its storage or until the purpose for which the data was collected has been confirmed.
Data storage is not affected by legal provisions such as data retention periods.

We point out that data transmission on the Internet, for example when communicating by e-mail, may have security gaps and thus a complete protection of data from access by third parties from our side is not possible.
