The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data that can be used to personally identify you. This privacy policy explains which data we collect and how we use it. It also explains how and for what purpose this occurs.

We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g., during communication via email) may have security vulnerabilities. A complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

The responsible party for data processing on this website is:

Rena Riedel

The responsible party is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).

Storage Duration
Unless a more specific storage duration is stated within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing ceases to exist. If you make a legitimate deletion request or withdraw your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for the storage of your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial retention periods); in the latter case, deletion will take place after the 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, if special categories of data according to Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR are processed. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), the data processing is additionally based on § 25 para. 1 TTDSG. Consent can be withdrawn at any time. If your data is required for the fulfillment of a contract or for the execution of pre-contractual measures, we process your data based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

Data processing may also take place based on our legitimate interests according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The relevant legal bases applicable in each case will be explained in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.

Notice on Data Transfer to the USA and Other Third Countries
We use tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that are not considered secure from a data protection perspective. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these third countries and processed there. We point out that in these countries, no data protection level comparable to that of the EU can be guaranteed. For example, US companies are obliged to provide personal data to security authorities without you, as the data subject, being able to take legal action against this. It cannot be ruled out that US authorities (e.g., intelligence services) may process, evaluate, and permanently store your data located on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.

Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can withdraw any consent already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
If data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e or f GDPR, you have the right to object at any time, for reasons arising from 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 unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that outweigh your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing is for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection according to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR).

If 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 the purposes of such advertising; this also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will no longer be processed for the purpose of direct marketing (objection according to Art. 21 para. 2 GDPR).

Right to File a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority
In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to file a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the member state of their habitual residence, place of work, or the location 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 receive data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, and to transmit those data to another responsible party. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another responsible party, this will only be done to the extent that it is technically feasible.

Information, Deletion, and Correction
You have the right to request information about your stored personal data, their origin and recipients, and the purpose of the data processing at any time, free of charge. You also have the right to the correction or deletion of this data. Exceptions: This information is required for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or if there is a legal obligation for retention. If you have any questions about your personal data, you can always contact us at the address given above.

The processing of this data is based on Article 6 (1) lit. b GDPR if your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.

The data you send to us via contact inquiries will remain with us until you request its deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after the processing of your concern has been completed). Mandatory statutory provisions, particularly statutory retention periods, remain unaffected.
