We only process the personal data of website visitors to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services.

An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.
Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b EU GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures.

If your personal data is processed, you are a data subject within the meaning of the EU GDPR and you have certain rights vis-à-vis the controller. These are summarized below, the detailed description can be found in Chapter 3 Art. 12 - 23 EU GDPR:
1. Right to information
You can request confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed by us.
If such processing is taking place, you can request information from the controller about the purposes, categories and recipients of personal data. Furthermore, you can request information about the duration of storage, the origin of the data and whether transfers to a third country have taken place.
2. Right to rectification
You have a right to rectification and/or completion vis-à-vis the controller if the processed personal data concerning you is incorrect or incomplete. The controller must carry out the rectification without undue delay.
3. Right to erasure
You have the right to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning you without undue delay and the controller has the obligation to erase this data without undue delay where, for example, the data is processed unlawfully or is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected. Furthermore, the controller must also inform third parties that you have requested the deletion of all links to this personal data or of copies or replications of this personal data. There are exceptions to the right to erasure (e.g. if legal grounds or the right to freedom of expression preclude this).
4. Right to restriction of processing
Under certain circumstances, you may request the restriction of the processing of personal data concerning you. This data may then only be processed, for example, with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
If the restriction of processing has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.
5Right to information
If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against the controller, the controller is obliged to notify all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed of this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.
You have the right to be informed of these recipients by the controller.

The right to data portability does not apply to the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
Otherwise, you have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to the controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.
7Right to object
You have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

Where personal data concerning you is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.
8Right to revoke the declaration of consent under data protection law
You have the right to revoke your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
9. Automated individual decision-making, including profiling
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply, for example, if the decision is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the controller or is made with your express consent.
10. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes the GDPR.

The supervisory authority to which the complaint has been submitted shall inform the complainant of the status and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Art. 78 GDPR.
