If you assert an authorized deletion request or revoke 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, the deletion takes place after these reasons have been removed.

Note on data transfer to the USA

Among other things, tools from companies based in the USA are integrated on our website. If these tools are active, your personal data may be shared with the US servers of the respective companies. We would like to point out that the USA is not a safe third country within the meaning of EU data protection law. US companies are obliged to disclose personal data to security authorities without you being able to take legal action as the person concerned. It cannot therefore be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. intelligence agencies) will process, evaluate and permanently store your data on US servers for monitoring 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 an already given consent at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to object to data collection in special cases as well as to direct advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)

If the data processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. E or F GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time 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 data protection declaration.

If your personal data is processed for the purpose of direct advertising, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct advertising. If you object, your personal data will then no longer be used for the purpose of direct advertising (objection according to Art. 21 para. 2 GDPR).

Right of appeal to the competent supervisory authority

In the event of violations of the GDPR, the persons concerned have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement. The right of appeal is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

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 handed over to yourself or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another person responsible, this will only be done as far as it is technically feasible.

SSL or. TLS encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses an SSL or TLS encryption. 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 the SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Encrypted payment transactions on this website

After the conclusion of a fee-based contract, there is an obligation to provide us with your payment data (e.g. account number in case of direct debit authorization), this data is required for payment processing.

Payment transactions via the common means of payment (Visa/MasterCard, direct debit) are carried out exclusively via an encrypted SSL or TLS connection. 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.

In the case of encrypted communication, your payment data that you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Information, deletion and correction

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, their origin and recipient and the purpose of the data processing and, if necessary, a right to correction or deletion of this data. For this and for further questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at any time.

Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the examination, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If the processing of your personal data was/hapsing unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.

If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.

If you have filed an objection in accordance with Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, a balance must be made between your and our interests. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests outweigh, 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 only be processed – apart from its storage – with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence 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.

Profile pictures of Gravatar

Profile pictures – We use the Gravatar service within our online offer and especially in the blog. Gravatar is a service where users can log in and store profile pictures and their email addresses. If users with the respective e-mail address leave posts or comments on other online presences (especially in blogs), their profile pictures can be displayed next to the posts or comments. For this purpose, the e-mail address provided by the users is transmitted encrypted to Gravatar to check whether a profile is stored for it. This is the sole purpose of transmitting the e-mail address. It is not used for other purposes, but is then deleted. The use of Gravatar is based on our legitimate interests, as with the help of Gravatar we offer the contribution and commentrs the opportunity to personalize their contributions with a profile picture. By displaying the images, Gravatar finds out the IP address of the users, as this is necessary for communication between a browser and an online service. If users do not want a user image linked to their e-mail address at Gravatar to appear in the comments, they should use an e-mail address to comment, which is not stored with Gravatar. We would also like to point out that it is also possible to use an anonymous or no e-mail address if users do not want their own e-mail address to be sent to Gravatar. Users can completely prevent the transmission of data by not using our comment system; Service provider: Aut O’Mattic A8C Ireland Ltd., Grand Canal Dock, 25 Herbert Pl, Dublin, D02 AY86, Ireland; Legal bases: Legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR); Website: https://automattic.com/privacy
