Note on Data Transfers to the USA and Other Third Countries
We use tools from companies based in the USA or other non-secure third countries in terms of data protection. When these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these countries. Please note that these countries may not guarantee a level of data protection comparable to that in the EU. For instance, U.S. companies are required to hand over personal data to security authorities without allowing you as the data subject to take legal action. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that U.S. authorities (e.g., intelligence agencies) process, evaluate, and store your data located on U.S. servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.
Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke your consent at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out up to the revocation remains unaffected.
Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
If the data processing is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for reasons arising from 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 affected personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms or the processing serves to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21(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 your data for such advertising; this also applies to profiling, insofar as it is related to such direct advertising. If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR).
Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Supervisory Authority
In case of violations of the GDPR, affected persons have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, especially in the member state of their habitual residence, workplace, or the place of the alleged violation. This right exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to Data Portability
You have the right to receive the data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, in a common, machine-readable format or to have it transmitted to another controller. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done if technically feasible.
Right to Access, Deletion, and Correction
Within the scope of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients, and the purpose of the data processing and, if applicable, a right to correct or delete this data. You can contact us at any time for this and other questions about personal data.
Right to Restrict Processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time to do so. The right to restriction applies in the following cases:
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data – apart from being stored – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a member state.

You can recognize an encrypted connection by the address line of the browser changing from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

If analysis and optimization cookies are used, your explicit consent will be obtained in advance. If you agree, cookies are used that allow statistical analysis of this website’s reach, measurement of the success of online marketing activities, and test procedures, e.g., to test and optimize different versions of online offerings or their components.

The data processing is based on the legal provisions of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest). The legitimate interest under the GDPR is the optimization of our online offer and web presence. Since the privacy of our visitors is very important to us, data that may allow reference to an individual person—such as the IP address, login, or device identifiers—are anonymized or pseudonymized as early as possible. No other use, combination with other data, or transfer to third parties takes place.

Additionally, we use cookies to make our services as user-friendly as possible. Cookies are small text files placed on your device to recognize you when you use our web offering again. Cookies may be stored permanently or only during a session. Two types of cookies are used: necessary cookies to provide basic website functionality, and targeted cookies that help us improve the layout and navigation of our site and thereby enhance service quality. In both cases, your IP address is immediately shortened and thereby anonymized so that it can no longer be linked to you. No personal data is collected or analyzed, nor is it linked to other such data. You can also prevent the installation of all types of cookies by setting your browser accordingly. However, in doing so, some features of our website may no longer function fully.
