The data controller is the natural or legal person who determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g., names, e-mail addresses, etc.), either alone or jointly with others.
Many data processing operations require your express consent. You may revoke your consent at any time. All you need to do is send us an informal message by e-mail. The lawfulness of data processing performed until the withdrawal remains unaffected by the withdrawal.
In the event of violations of data protection law, the data subject has the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. The state data protection officer of the state where our company is headquartered is the competent supervisory authority for data protection issues.

You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request direct transfer of your data to another controller, it will only be done if it is technically feasible.
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential information, such as orders or inquiries you submit to us as the website operator, this website uses either SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by checking whether the address line of the browser switches from “http://” to “https://” and also by the presence of the lock icon in the browser’s address bar.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free access to your stored personal data, its origin and recipients and the purposes of data processing and, if applicable, a right to rectification, blocking or erasure of this data. If you have further questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice.
We object to the use of our contact information, which was published in accordance with legal obligations, for the purpose of sending unsolicited promotional or informational material. The operators of this website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of promotional information, such as spam e-mails.
