We may also process your data for responding to any comments or complaints you may send us or send you information on products and services provided by us, our affiliates and carefully selected partners.

We will only send you our newsletter if you consent us to do so, the respective data processing is based on Art. 6 par. 1 a) GDPR. To subscribe we need at least your e-mail address. To ensure that the Newsletter was requested by you or from your e-mail address, you will first receive a confirmation e-mail.

You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time by contacting us directly or by notifying us using the link at the end of each newsletter.
We also use so-called cookies in our internet offer (which may also be provided by third parties). Cookies are small text files that are saved by your browser and stored on your computer. The use of cookies serves to make the website more user-friendly. For example, it is possible to recognise the user for the duration of the session without having to constantly enter a new user name and password. The cookies do not cause any damage to your computer and are generally deleted at the end of your session, unless they are so called permanent cookies.
If you do not wish cookies to be used, you can set your browser so that cookies are not accepted.
Your personal data will only be passed on to third parties if it is necessary for the execution of a contract and/or its technical processing, which regarding the website, includes our suppliers in charge of processing your data for the dispatch of the newsletter and for the hosting and maintenance of our website. When we subcontract such activities, we make sure your data is managed in compliance with the GDPR rules and this includes, where information is transferred outside the EEA, and where this is to a stakeholder or vendor in a country that is not subject to an adequacy decision by the EU Commission, that data is adequately protected by EU Commission approved standard contractual clauses, an appropriate Privacy Shield certification or a vendor’s Processor Binding Corporate Rules.
According to Art. 15-21 GDPR you can assert the following rights with regard to the personal data processed by us if the conditions described there are met.
1.1 Right to access (Art. 15 GDPR). You have the right to be informed about the personal data concerning you that is processed by us and be provided with a copy of your personal data we hold about you.
1.2 Right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR). You may request the rectification of inaccurate personal data, or to complete personal data when it is incomplete.
1.3 Right to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR). You may be entitled to ask for the deletion of personal data concerning you, in particular if one of the following reasons exists:
• Your personal data are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
• You revoke your consent on which the processing of your data is based.
• You have asserted a right to object to the processing and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you asserted your right to object where your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes.
• Your data has been processed unlawfully.
However, the right to deletion does not exist if this conflicts with the legitimate interests of the responsible party. These could be e.g.:
• if personal data is required to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
• if deletion is not possible due to storage obligations.
If data cannot be deleted, however, there may be a right to restrict processing (see below).
1.4 Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR). You have the right to request us to restrict the processing of your personal data under following circumstances:
• you contest the accuracy of your personal data and we therefore verify the accuracy of your personal data for a period,
• the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of your personal data and instead request the restriction of their use,
• we no longer need the data, but you do need it to establish, exercise or defend legal claims,
• you have objected to the processing of your data pursuant to Art. 21 par. 1 GDPR and it is not yet clear whether our legitimate grounds override those of yours.
1.5 Right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR). You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and you have the right to transmit this data to another controller without our interference, provided that the processing is based on your consent (e.g. Art. 6 par. 1 lit a) GDPR)) or a contract (Art. 6 par. 1 lit b) GDPR) and the processing is carried out by us with the help of automated means.
1.6 Right to object (Art. 21 GDPR). You have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data relating to you on the basis of Art. 6 par. 1 e) or f) GDPR for reasons arising from his particular situation, including profiling based on those provisions. Where your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes without your consent and based on our legitimate interests, you have the absolute 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 (Art. 21 par. 2 GDPR). The respective personal data will no longer be processed for direct marketing purposes then.
1.7 Right to revoke consent (Art. 7 par. 3 GDPR). If you have consented to the processing of your personal data by us, you have the right to revoke your consent at any time. The legality of processing your personal data before revocation remains unaffected. We may further process such data pursuant to another applicable legal basis, e.g. for the fulfilment of our legal obligations.
1.8 Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR). If you have not received an answer after a reasonable period of time from the DPO, or have received an answer which is incomplete or unsatisfactory in your view, you shall have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in accordance with Art. 77 GDPR, if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes the GDPR. Such complaint may be lodged in particular with the supervisory authority in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement.
