• Title, given name, surname

Your consent to the processing of this data is obtained during the order process.

Erasure, information, rectification and withdrawal

General points regarding the erasure of data

Data is generally erased without undue delay after it is no longer needed to fulfil the purpose for which it was retained unless a longer retention period is required by law (cf. section 257 para. 1 German Commercial Code (HGB): 6 years, section 147 para. 1 German Fiscal Code (AO): 10 years) or retention of the data is necessary for evidentiary purposes. Correct erasure is reviewed on an annual basis.

Rights of the user

The user has the right, at any time, to request information regarding whether and which personal data of the user is processed (Art. 15 GDPR). The user further has the right to a rectification of inaccurate data (Art. 16 GDPR) and the right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR).
If the prerequisites set out in Art. 17 GDPR are met, the user can also request the erasure of his or her personal data (“right to be forgotten”). At the request of the user, his or her personal data must be provided to the user in a structured, customary and machine-readable format (Art. 20 GDPR).
The user has the right, at any time and with effect for the future, to withdraw consents to the processing of his or her data within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) letter a GDPR. If the data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 letter f GDPR, the user can object to the data processing with effect for the future unless the operator of this website can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override the interests, rights and freedoms of the user, or unless the data is processed in order to establish, exercise or defend legal claims of the operator of the website (Art. 21 GDPR).

If the user believes that the processing of his or her personal data breaches the provisions of data protection legislation, he or she can lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority.
