Unless a more specific storage period has been specified in this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for processing the data no longer applies. If you assert a justified request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your data (e.g., retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the deletion will take place after these reasons no longer apply.
General information on the legal basis for data processing on this website
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR, insofar as special categories of data are processed per Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR. In the event of express consent to transferring personal data to third countries, data processing is also based on Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information in your end device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), the data processing is also carried out based on Section 25 (1) of the GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required to fulfill the contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures, we process your data based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if necessary to fulfill a legal obligation based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. Data processing may also be based on our legitimate interest per Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Information on the relevant legal bases in each case is provided in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.
Note on the transfer of data to third countries that are not secure under data protection law and the transfer to US companies that are not DPF-certified
Among other things, we use tools from companies based in third countries that are not secure under data protection law and US tools whose providers are not certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). If these tools are active, your data may be transferred to these countries and processed there. No level of data protection comparable to that in the EU can be guaranteed in third countries that are unsafe under data protection law. As a safe third country, the USA generally has a level of data protection comparable to that of the EU. Therefore, data transfer to the USA is permitted if the recipient
is certified under the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (DPF) or has suitable additional guarantees. Information on transfers to third countries, including data recipients, can be found in this privacy policy.
Recipients of personal data
We work with various external bodies as part of our business activities. In some cases, transferring personal data to these external bodies is also necessary. We only pass on personal data to external bodies to fulfill a contract if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g., passing on data to tax authorities) and if we have a legitimate interest in the transfer per Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR or if another legal basis permits the transfer.
When using processors, we only pass on our customers’ data based on a valid contract for order processing. In the case of joint processing, a mutual processing agreement is concluded.
Withdrawal of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to object to the collection of data in Exceptional Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
IF THE DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6 ABS. 1 LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA AT ANY TIME ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; 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 UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING, LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING.
UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION ACCORDING TO ART. 21 PARA. 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 SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING (OBJECTION ACCORDING TO ART. 21 PARA. 2 GDPR).
Right to complain to the competent Supervisory Authority
In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to complain to a supervisory authority, particularly in the Member State, of their habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged violation. The right to complain is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.
Right to Data Portability
You have the right to have data we process automatically based on your consent or fulfilling a contract handed over to you or a third party in a standard and machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only occur if it is technically feasible.
Information, Correction, and Deletion
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing and, if applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data at any time. You can contact us anytime if you have further questions on personal data.
Right to Restriction of Processing
You have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be limited. You can contact us at any time to do this. The right to restriction of processing exists 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 review, you have the right to request that the processing of your data be restricted.
- If processing your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
- If we no longer require your personal data, but you require it for the exercise, defense, or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of processing your personal data instead of its erasure.
- If you have objected per Art. 21 para. 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 processing your personal data.
Suppose you have restricted the processing of your data. In that case, this data – apart from its storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of substantial public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

Facebook receives the information you have visited this website with your IP address. If you click on the Facebook “Like” button while you are logged into your Facebook account, you can link the content of this website to your Facebook profile. This action allows Facebook to associate your visit to this website with your user account. As the provider of the pages, we do not know the content of the transmitted data or its use by Facebook. Further information on this can be found in Facebook’s privacy policy at
If consent has been obtained, the abovementioned service is used based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time. If no consent has been obtained, the service is used based on our legitimate interest in the broadest possible visibility in social media.
Insofar as personal data is collected on our website with the help of the tool described here and forwarded to Facebook, we and Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland, are jointly responsible for this data processing (Art. 26 GDPR). The joint responsibility is limited exclusively to the collection of the data and its transfer to Facebook. The processing carried out by Facebook after forwarding is not part of the joint responsibility. The obligations incumbent on us jointly have been set out in an agreement on joint processing. You can find the wording of the agreement at
https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum. According to this agreement, we are responsible for providing data protection information when using the Facebook tool and for the secure implementation of the tool on our website per data protection law. Facebook is responsible for the data security of Facebook products. You can assert data subject rights (e.g., requests for information) regarding the data processed by Facebook directly with Facebook. We must forward your data subject rights to Facebook if you claim them with us.

6. Plugins and Tools
Adobe Fonts
This site uses Adobe Fonts, which is a web font hosting service. The service provider is the American company Adobe Inc. The Irish company Adobe Systems Software Ireland Companies, 4-6 Riverwalk, Citywest Business Campus, Dublin 24, Ireland, is responsible for the European region.
Adobe also processes your data in the USA, among other places. According to the European Court of Justice, there is currently no adequate level of protection for data transfer to the USA. This transfer may entail various risks to the legality and security of data processing.
Adobe uses so-called standard contractual clauses (= Art. 46. para. 2 and 3 GDPR) as the basis for data processing with recipients based in third countries (outside the European Union, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway, i.e. in particular in the USA) or data transfer to these countries. Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) are templates provided by the EU Commission and are intended to ensure that your data complies with European data protection standards even if it is transferred to and stored in third countries (e.g., the USA). Through these clauses, Adobe complies with the European level of data protection when processing your relevant data, even if the data is stored, processed, and managed in the USA. These clauses are based on an implementing decision of the EU Commission. You can find the decision and the corresponding standard contractual clauses here: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/eli/dec_impl/2021/914/oj?locale=de
