For which purposes do we use your data?
Part of the data is collected to ensure the error-free provision of the website. Other data can be used to analyse your user behaviour.
At any time, you have the right to obtain information about the origin, recipient and purpose of your stored personal data free of charge.

The analysis of your surfing behaviour is usually anonymous; the surfing behaviour cannot be traced back to you. You can object to this analysis or prevent this by not using specific tools. The following data privacy statement will provide detailed information in this regard.
You can object to this analysis. We will inform you in this data privacy statement about your means of objection.
The operators of this websites take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with legal data protection regulations and this data privacy statement.
Various personal data will be collected when you access this website. Personal data is any data which can be used to identify you personally. This data privacy statement explains which data we collect and for which purpose we use them. It also explains how and for which purpose this happens.
We point out explicitly that data transfer over the Internet (such as communication by e-mail) can be subject to security vulnerabilities. It is not possible to protect such data completely against access by third parties.
The controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or together with others, decides about the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, e-mail addresses, etc.).
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke a previously granted consent at any time. You can do this by simply sending an informal e-mail to us. The legality of data processing until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
In case of breaches of data protection law, data subjects have the right to appeal to the competent supervisory authority. The Bavarian Data Protection Authority is responsible for our company in principle.
You have the right to obtain data that we process in an automated manner on the basis of your consent or in the performance of a contract yourself or have them transferred to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you require the direct transfer of data to another controller, this will only be done in so far as this is technically feasible.
We use SSL/TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential contents, e.g., orders or inquiries you send to us as the website operator. An encrypted connection is indicated by the browser's address bar changing from "http://" to "https://" and, if applicable, the lock icon in your browser bar.
When SSL/TLS encryption is enabled, the data you transmit to us cannot be viewed by third parties.
Within the context of the valid legal regulations, you have the right to free information about your stored personal data, their origin and recipients and the purpose of data processing at any time and, if required, the right to rectification, disabling or erasure of these data. Please do not hesitate to contact us in this regard and other questions concerning the topic of data privacy at the address given under Legal Information.
We hereby object to the use of contact data which has been published in accordance with legal notice requirements for the transmission of not expressly solicited advertising and information material. The site operators explicitly reserve the right to take legal action in the case of unrequested sending of promotional information, for example, spam e-mails, etc.

Subject to legal or contractual permissions, we will process the data or have them processed in a third country only in the presence of the special requirements of Art. 44 et seq. GDPR. In other words, processing is done, for example, on the basis of special safeguards such as the officially recognised ascertainment of an appropriate level of data protection similar to that in the EU (for example, the Privacy Shield for the United States) or compliance with officially recognised special contractual obligations (so-called “standard contractual clauses”).
