Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may revoke any previously given consent at any time. To do so, simply send us an informal e-mail. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to object to the collection of data in special cases and to direct-marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
If data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e or f GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based may be found in this data protection declaration. Should you lodge an objection, we will no longer process your personal data unless we are able to demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or if the processing of the data in question serves the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims (objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR).

Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority
In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the 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 violation. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to data portability
You have the right to have data processed by us automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. Should you request the direct transfer of the data to another responsible body, this action will only be performed insofar as it is technically feasible.

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. To exercise this right, please contact us at any time at the address provided in the legal notice. The right to the restriction of processing applies in the following cases:
- If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally require a certain amount of time to check your claim. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
- If the processing of your personal data is or was unlawful, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
- If we no longer require your personal data, but you nevertheless require it for the exercise, defence or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of its erasure.
- If you have lodged an objection in accordance with Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data – apart from its storage – may only be processed with your consent, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.

The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of cookies for the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services. Insofar as other cookies (e.g., cookies for analysing your surfing behaviour) are stored, these are treated separately in this data protection declaration.

The website operator automatically collects and stores data in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. This data includes:
- Browser type and browser version
- Operating system in use
- Referrer URL
- Host name of the accessing computer
- Time of server query

This data is not merged with other data sources.
This data is collected on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimisation of its website. Server log files must be recorded for this purpose.
Enquiries per e-mail, telephone or facsimile
Should you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, your enquiry including all personal data (name, enquiry) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We will not pass this data on without your consent.
The aforementioned data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR if your enquiry is related to the fulfilment of a contract, or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing of your data is based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) and/or on our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR), as we have a legitimate interest in the effective processing of all enquiries addressed to us.
The data you send to us via a contact request will remain with us until you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.
Processing of data (customer data and contractual details)
We collect, process and use personal data only insofar as it is necessary for the establishment, content or amendment of the legal relationship (inventory data). This action is performed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures. We collect, process and use personal data pertaining to the use of our website (usage data) only insofar as it is necessary to enable the user to use the service, or to bill the user.
Collected customer data will be deleted after completion of the order or termination of the business relationship. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.
4) Analysis Tools and Advertising
Matomo Analytics
We use the “Matomo” open-source software to analyse and statistically evaluate the use of the website. The software provider is InnoCraft Ltd (150 Willis St, 6011 Wellington, New Zealand, NZBN 6106769). Cookies are used for this purpose; these are stored on your end device. The information collected by the cookies is generally sent to a Matomo server in Germany and stored there, so that technically no third-country transfer takes place. If data is transferred to InnoCraft’s registered office outside the EEA, this action is protected by an EU adequacy decision for New Zealand. We have set Matomo so that IP addresses are only processed in abbreviated form in order to limit direct personal identification. IP anonymisation means that the end of your IP address is replaced by zeros immediately after it is recorded, ensuring that it may not be assigned to individual users. The data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. In doing so, we are pursuing our legitimate interest in optimising our website for our public image. You may revoke your consent at any time by deleting the cookies in your browser or changing your data protection settings.
