If consent has been requested (e.g., consent for storing cookies), the processing is carried out solely based on Article 6(1) lit. a of the GDPR; the consent can be withdrawn at any time.

As far as other cookies (e.g., cookies for analyzing your browsing behavior) are stored, these are dealt with separately in this privacy policy.

Contact Form

If you send us inquiries via the contact form, the information you provide in the inquiry form, including the contact details you provide, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and for follow-up questions. We do not share this data without your consent.

The processing of this data is based on Article 6(1) lit. b of the GDPR, if your inquiry is related to the fulfillment 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 directed to us (Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Article 6(1) lit. a GDPR), if it has been requested.

The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent for storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your inquiry has been completed). Mandatory legal requirements – particularly retention periods – remain unaffected.

5. Newsletter

Newsletter Data

If you wish to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require your email address as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the provided email address and that you consent to receiving the newsletter. No further data will be collected, or only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not share it with third parties.

The processing of the data entered into the newsletter registration form is carried out solely based on your consent (Article 6(1) lit. a GDPR). You can withdraw the consent given for storing the data, the email address, and its use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example, via the "unsubscribe" link in the newsletter. The legality of data processing operations that have already occurred remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

The data you have provided for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter or until the newsletter service provider deletes it. After unsubscribing from the newsletter, the data will be removed from the newsletter distribution list. Data that has been stored for other purposes with us will remain unaffected by this.

After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored with us or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist to prevent future mailings. The data in the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and will not be combined with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR). The storage in the blacklist is not time-limited. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.

CleverReach

This website uses CleverReach for sending newsletters. The provider is CleverReach GmbH & Co. KG, Mühlenstr. 43, 26180 Rastede. CleverReach is a service that can be used to organize and analyze the sending of newsletters. The data you enter for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter (e.g., email address) will be stored on CleverReach servers in Germany or Ireland.

Our newsletters sent via CleverReach allow us to analyze the behavior of newsletter recipients. This includes analyzing how many recipients have opened the newsletter and how often each link in the newsletter was clicked. With the help of so-called conversion tracking, it can also be analyzed whether a predefined action (e.g., purchasing a product on this website) occurred after clicking the link in the newsletter. For more information on data analysis through CleverReach newsletters, please visit: https://www.cleverreach.com/de/funktionen/reporting-und-tracking/.

The data processing is based on your consent (Article 6(1) lit. a of the GDPR). You can withdraw this consent at any time by unsubscribing from the newsletter. The legality of data processing operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by the withdrawal.

If you do not wish to be analyzed by CleverReach, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter. We provide a corresponding link in every newsletter message for this purpose. Additionally, you can unsubscribe from the newsletter directly on the website.

For more details, please refer to the privacy policy of CleverReach at: https://www.cleverreach.com/de/datenschutz/ https://www.cleverreach.com/de/datenschutz/.

6. Plugins and Tools

HCAPTCHA

We use hCaptcha (hereinafter "hCaptcha") on this website. The provider is Intuition Machines Inc, 2211 Selig Dr, Los Angeles, CA 90026, United States (hereinafter "IMI").

hCaptcha is used to verify whether the data entry on this website (e.g., in a contact form) is made by a human or by an automated program. To do this, hCaptcha analyzes the behavior of the website visitor based on various characteristics.

This analysis begins automatically as soon as the website visitor enters a website with hCaptcha enabled. To analyze, hCaptcha evaluates various information (e.g., IP address, the visitor's duration on the website, or mouse movements made by the user). The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to IMI. If hCaptcha is used in "invisible mode," the analysis runs completely in the background. Website visitors are not notified that an analysis is taking place.

The storage and analysis of the data is based on Article 6(1) lit. f of the GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting their web offerings from abusive automated spying and spam. If consent has been requested, the processing is carried out solely based on Article 6(1) lit. a of the GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG, to the extent that the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's device (e.g., device fingerprinting) in accordance with the TTDSG. The consent can be withdrawn at any time.

The data processing is based on the Standard Contractual Clauses (SCC) included in the data processing addendum to IMI's General Terms and Conditions or the data processing agreements.

For more information about hCaptcha, please refer to the privacy policy and terms of use at the following links: https://www.hcaptcha.com/privacy and https://hcaptcha.com/terms.
