Privacy Policy

The protection of your personal data is very important to us. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations (GDPR, BDSG) as well as this privacy policy.

The responsible body decides alone or jointly with others on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g. names, contact details, etc.).

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke consent you have already given at any time. An informal message by email to us is sufficient for this. The legality of the data processing carried out before the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to complain to the competent supervisory authority

As the data subject, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority in the event of a breach of data protection law. The competent supervisory authority for data protection issues is the state data protection officer of the federal state in which our company is based (North Rhine-Westphalia).

Right to data portability

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 the direct transfer of the data to another person responsible, this will only take place if it is technically feasible.

Information, Deletion, Blocking

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient and the purpose of the data processing and, if necessary, a right to correct, block or delete this data.
