Storage duration
As a matter of principle, we will delete the personal data when they are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
If we have asked you for your consent and you have given it, we will delete your personal data if you revoke your consent and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
We will delete your personal data, if you file an objection to the processing and there are no legitimate overriding reasons for the processing or if you object to the processing for the purpose of direct marketing or related profiling.
If deletion is not possible because processing is still necessary to fulfil a legal obligation (legal retention periods, etc.) to which we are subject or to assert, exercise or defend legal claims, we will restrict the processing of your personal data.
Further information on the storage period can also be found in the following passages.

Where your personal data are 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 includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. We will then no longer process your personal data for these purposes.
You have the right to withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data at any time if you have given us such consent. The withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
You have the right to complain to a supervisory authority about the processing of your personal data by us.
Provision of your personal data
The provision of your personal data is neither legally nor contractually required and not required for the conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide your personal data. Should this nevertheless be the case, we will point this out separately when collecting your personal data (for example by marking the mandatory fields on input forms).
Not providing your personal data regularly means that we will not process your personal data for one of the purposes described below and that you will not be able to take advantage of any service related to the respective processing (example: without providing your e‑mail address you will not receive our newsletter).
Web server log files
We process your personal data to be able to provide our online services to you and to guarantee the stability and security of our online services. Information (e.g. element requested, URL called up, operating system, date and time of the request, browser type and the version used, IP address, protocol used, amount of data transferred, user agent, referrer URL, time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) and/or HTTP status code) is stored in so-called log files (access log, error log etc.).
If we have asked you for your consent and you have given it, the legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 letter a of the EU-GDPR. If we have not asked you for your consent and you have given it, the legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. para. 1 letter f of the EU-GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the proper display of our online services and the safeguarding of the stability and security of our online services.

If we have asked you for your consent and you have given it, we will process your e‑mail address for e‑mail marketing purposes and, if necessary, other personal data in order to address you personally. The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 letter a of the EU-GDPR. The contents of e‑mail marketing will be specifically described when your consent is obtained. Furthermore, e‑mail marketing contains information about us, our goods and services.
We use the so-called double opt-in procedure to prevent possible misuse of your personal data. To this end, after collecting your e‑mail address, we will send you an e‑mail to the e‑mail address you have provided, asking you to confirm that you actually wish to receive e‑mail marketing. The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 letter f of the EU-GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the legally compliant implementation of the e‑mail marketing.
We record the time of granting your consent and the time of your confirmation as well as your IP address and the content of your declaration of consent in order to be able to prove that your consent was obtained in accordance with the law. The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 letter f of the EU-GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the legally compliant implementation of the e‑mail marketing.
We are using external services for e‑mail marketing. Further information on the services used, the scope of data processing and the technologies and procedures when using the respective services and whether profiling takes place when using the respective services and, if applicable, information on the logic involved and the scope and intended effects of such processing for you can be found in the further information on the services used by us at the end of this passage and under the links provided there.
You can withdraw your consent at any time. Your withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal. To withdraw your consent, you can use the link provided for this purpose in the e‑mails or contact us using the contact details given above.
If you have withdrawn your consent, we reserve the right to process your personal data in a so-called blacklist/blocking list in order to be able to ensure that no further e‑mail marketing is carried out in connection with this personal data in the future. The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 letter f of the EU-GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the avoidance of unsolicited e‑mail marketing.
We process your personal data as part of the tracking or success measurements in order to measure the reach of our e‑mail marketing, to design it in line with your needs and interests and thus to optimize our e‑mail marketing. This can also lead to profiling (for advertising purposes, personalized information, etc.). Profiling can also be applied across services and devices. If we have asked you for your consent and you have given it, the legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 letter a of the EU-GDPR. If we have not asked you for your consent and you have given it, the legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. para. 1 letter f of the EU-GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the optimization of our e‑mail marketing. A separate withdrawal of your consent or objection with regard to tracking or success measurements is unfortunately not possible. You must use the above options to withdraw your consent or object to the processing of your personal data for the purpose of e‑mail marketing in general.
