Right to Restrict Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time to exercise this right. The right to restrict processing applies in the following cases:

• If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify it. During the verification period, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
• If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
• If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend, or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of processing instead of deletion.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data may only be processed with your consent, or to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims, or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of significant public interest of the European Union or a member state, aside from its storage.

SSL or TLS Encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser's address line changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser’s address bar.

If SSL or TLS encryption is enabled, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

The processing of this data is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR if your request is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.

5. Plugins and Tools

YouTube with Enhanced Privacy Mode

This website integrates videos from YouTube. The operator of the pages is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

We use YouTube in enhanced privacy mode. According to YouTube, this mode ensures that YouTube does not store information about visitors to this website before they watch a video. However, using the enhanced privacy mode does not necessarily prevent data from being shared with YouTube partners. For example, YouTube establishes a connection to the Google Marketing Network regardless of whether you watch a video.

When you start a YouTube video on this website, a connection to YouTube's servers is established. The YouTube server is informed about which of our pages you visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you allow YouTube to associate your browsing behavior directly with your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.

Furthermore, once you start a YouTube video, various cookies may be stored on your device or similar recognition technologies (e.g., device fingerprinting) may be employed. This allows YouTube to gather information about visitors to this website, which is used, among other things, to compile video statistics, enhance user experience, and prevent fraud.

Additional data processing operations may occur after starting a YouTube video, over which we have no control.

The use of YouTube is in the interest of presenting our online offerings in an appealing way. This constitutes a legitimate interest as defined by Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If consent was requested, processing is based solely on Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TTDSG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's device (e.g., device fingerprinting) under the TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

For more information on data protection at YouTube, please refer to their privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.

The company is certified under the "EU-US Data Privacy Framework" (DPF). The DPF is an agreement between the European Union and the USA aimed at ensuring compliance with European data protection standards for data processing in the USA. Any company certified under the DPF commits to adhering to these data protection standards.
