Personal data refers to any information that can be used to identify you personally. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect, how we use it, and for what purpose. It also explains how and for what purpose this processing takes place. Please note that data transmission over the Internet (for example, when communicating by email) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

The responsible party is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, or similar information).
Data Retention Period
Unless a more specific retention period is stated within this Privacy Policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for processing no longer applies. If you exercise a legitimate right to erasure or withdraw your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible grounds for retaining your personal data (for example, retention obligations under tax or commercial law). In such cases, deletion will take place once those legal grounds no longer apply.
General Information on the Legal Basis for Data Processing
Where you have given consent to the processing of your personal data, we process your data on the basis of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and, where special categories of personal data are concerned, Article 9(2)(a) GDPR. Where you have expressly consented to the transfer of personal data to third countries, processing is also carried out on the basis of Article 49(1)(a) GDPR. Where you have consented to the storage of cookies or to access information on your device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), processing is additionally carried out on the basis of Section 25(1) of the German Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG). Consent may be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future. Where your data is required for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, where processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, it is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(c) GDPR. Processing may also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The specific legal basis applicable in each individual case is explained in the relevant sections of this Privacy Policy.
Recipients of Personal Data
As part of our business activities, we cooperate with various external parties. In some cases, it is necessary to transfer personal data to these external parties. We only disclose personal data to external parties where this is necessary for the performance of a contract, where we are legally obliged to do so (for example, disclosure to tax authorities), where we have a legitimate interest in the disclosure pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, or where another legal basis permits the transfer of data. Where we engage data processors, we only transfer personal data of our clients on the basis of a valid Data Processing Agreement (DPA). In cases of joint processing, a Joint Controller Agreement is concluded.

Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may withdraw any consent you have previously given at any time. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of any processing carried out prior to the withdrawal.
Right to Object to Processing and Direct Marketing (Article 21 GDPR)
Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(e) or Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, you have the right, at any time and on grounds relating to your particular situation, to object to the processing of your personal data. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

The relevant legal basis on which any processing is based can be found in this Privacy Policy.

If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or where the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR).

Where your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such marketing. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing.

If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection pursuant to Article 21(2) GDPR).
Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority
In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects 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 the place of the alleged infringement. This right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to Data Portability
You have the right to receive the personal data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, either for yourself or for a third party, in a commonly used, machine-readable format. Where you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be carried out where technically feasible.
Right of Access, Rectification and Erasure
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to obtain information free of charge about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients, and the purpose of the data processing. You also have the right to request the rectification or erasure of this data. If you have any questions regarding personal data or wish to exercise these rights, you may 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 may contact us at any time to exercise this right. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:

• If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally require time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

• If the processing of your personal data was or is unlawful, you may request the restriction of processing instead of erasure.

• If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of processing instead of the erasure of your personal data.

• If you have objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR, a balancing of interests between your interests and ours must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

Where the processing of your personal data has been restricted, such data may, apart from being stored, only be processed with your consent, for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.

4. Contact via Email or Telephone

If you contact us by email or telephone, your inquiry, including all personal data resulting from it (such as your name and the content of your request), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your inquiry. We will not share this data with third parties without your consent. The processing of this data is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, provided that your inquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of inquiries addressed to us (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR), where such consent has been obtained. Consent may be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future. The data you send to us through contact inquiries will remain with us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent to its storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (for example, after your inquiry has been fully processed). Mandatory legal provisions, particularly statutory retention periods, remain unaffected.

5. Contact via WhatsApp

If you contact us via WhatsApp, personal data (such as your telephone number and the content of your messages) will be processed. The use of WhatsApp is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR where the communication relates to the performance of a contract or the implementation of pre-contractual measures, and on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR based on our legitimate interest in providing efficient communication with clients and prospective clients. Please note that when using WhatsApp, data may also be processed by WhatsApp and its parent company, Meta, in accordance with their respective privacy policies.
