Right to Data Portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract provided 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 be carried out only where technically feasible.

SSL or 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 or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the change in your browser’s address bar from “http://” to “https://” and by the padlock symbol displayed in your browser.

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

Within the framework of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right, at any time and free of charge, to obtain information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing.

If you dispute the accuracy of the personal data stored by us, we generally require time to verify this. For the duration of this 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 deletion.
If we no longer require your personal data, but you require it for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of processing instead of deletion.
If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, your interests must be weighed against 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, this data may – apart from being stored – be processed only 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 important public interest of the European Union or a member state.
