If you have given consent to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 (1) a GDPR and Art. 9 (2) a GDPR if special categories of data are processed in accordance with Art. 9 (1) GDPR. In the case of an explicit consent to transfer personal data to third countries, data processing is also carried out on the basis of Art. 49 (1) a GDPR.

The specific legal bases for processing your data will be explained in the following sections of this privacy policy.
Recipients of Personal Data
In the course of our business activities, we work with various external parties. Sometimes it is necessary to transfer personal data to these external parties. We only pass on personal data to external parties if this is necessary for contract fulfillment, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. disclosure of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the data transfer under Art. 6 (1) f GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the data transfer. When using processors (Auftragsverarbeiter), we only pass on personal data of our clients on the basis of a valid contract processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.
Withdrawal of Your Consent to Data Processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke consent at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out up to the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to Object in Specific Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
If data processing is carried out based on Art. 6 (1) e or f GDPR, you have the right at any time to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. You can find the legal basis for processing 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 the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (Art. 21 (1) GDPR).
If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (Art. 21 (2) GDPR).
Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Supervisory Authority
In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of their habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.
Right to Data Portability
You have the right to receive data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format and to transmit it to another controller, where technically feasible, if the processing is based on consent or a contract (Art. 20 GDPR).
Right to Access, Rectification, and Erasure
You have the right, under the applicable laws, at any time to request free information about your stored personal data, its origin, recipients, and the purpose of data processing, and, if applicable, a right to rectification or erasure of this data. For this and any other questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at any time.
Right to Restriction of Processing
You have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
- If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. During the verification period, you have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data.
- If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request restriction of processing instead of erasure.
- If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing instead of erasure.
- If you have lodged an objection under Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balancing of interests must be carried out. As long as it is not clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, such data may only be processed—with the exception of storage—with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims or the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or a member state (Art. 18 GDPR).

Processing of this data is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) b GDPR, provided your inquiry is related to the performance of a contract or necessary for pre-contractual measures.
