The relevant legal basis for each processing activity can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, I will no longer process your personal data unless I can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that outweigh your interests, rights, and freedoms or the processing is for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims (objection under Art. 21(1) GDPR).

​
Right to Data Portability
You have the right to have data that I process based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract automatically transferred to you or a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent that it is technically feasible.
​

-
If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
-
If I 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 the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
-
If you have lodged an objection under Art. 21(1) GDPR, your interests shall be weighed against my interests. As long as it is not yet clear 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, such data – apart from its storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a member .

SSL and TLS Encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to me as the site operator, this website uses SSL or TLS encryption.

When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to me cannot be read by third parties.
4. Data Collection on This Website
Cookies
This website uses so-called "cookies". Cookies are small data packages that do not harm your device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your device. Session cookies are automatically deleted after your visit ends. Permanent cookies remain on your device until you delete them or until they are automatically deleted by your web browser.
Cookies can be first-party cookies (set by this website) or third-party cookies (set by external companies). Third-party cookies allow the integration of certain services from third-party companies within websites (e.g., cookies for processing payment services).
Cookies serve different functions. Many cookies are technically necessary because certain website functions would not work without them (e.g., the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies are used to analyze user behavior or for advertising purposes.
Cookies that are necessary for electronic communication, for providing specific features you request (e.g., shopping cart functionality), or for optimizing the website (e.g., cookies that measure web traffic) are stored based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR unless a different legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies to provide its services in an optimized and error-free manner. If consent for the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, processing is based exclusively on this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and § 25(1) TDDG); consent can be revoked at any time.
You can configure your browser to notify you when cookies are set and to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are disabled, the functionality of this website may be restricted.
The cookies and services used on this website can be found in this Privacy Policy.

PHP Web Stat
The website operator (the party responsible for data processing) has integrated PHP Web Stat components on this website. PHP Web Stat is a web analytics software. Web analytics involves the collection, aggregation, and evaluation of data regarding the behavior of website visitors (data subjects). This web analytics software collects data such as the referring website from which a visitor arrived at this website, which subpages were accessed, and how often a subpage was viewed. Web analytics is primarily used to optimize a website and to analyze the cost-benefit ratio of internet advertising.
PHP Web Stat is operated by Holger Naves, Sternbuschweg 2, 46562 Voerde, Germany.
Each time an individual page of this website is accessed, PHP Web Stat collects data for marketing and optimization purposes and stores it. The collected data is used to create pseudonymized user profiles, which are used to analyze visitor behavior and improve our internet offering. The data collected via the PHP Web Stat software will not be used to identify the individual without obtaining the explicit consent of the affected person. These data are not combined with personal data or other data that contains the same pseudonym.
The affected person can prevent the setting of cookies by configuring their browser accordingly, as described above, and thereby permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a browser configuration would also prevent PHP Web Stat from setting a cookie on the data subject's device.
The affected person may also object to the collection and processing of data generated by the PHP Web Stat cookie related to their use of this website and prevent such processing.
The opt-out cookie set as a result of the objection will be stored on the data subject's device. If the cookies on the data subject's device are deleted after an objection, the data subject must click the link again and set a new opt-out cookie.
However, setting the opt-out cookie may result in the website no longer being fully usable for the data subject.
The applicable privacy policy of PHP Web Stat can be found at https://www.php-web-statistik.de/datenschutz.php .
Contact Form
If you send me inquiries via the contact form, your information from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provide, will be stored for the purpose of processing the inquiry and for follow-up questions. This data will not be shared without your consent.
The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, if your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on my legitimate interest in effectively handling the inquiries addressed to me (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if it has been requested; consent can be revoked at any time.
The data you enter into the contact form will remain with me until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after your inquiry has been fully processed). Mandatory legal provisions – particularly retention periods – remain unaffected.
Inquiry by Email, Phone, or Fax
If you contact me by email, phone, or fax, your inquiry, including all resulting personal data (name, inquiry), will be stored and processed by me for the purpose of handling your request. This data will not be shared without your consent.
The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary for pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on my legitimate interest in effectively handling the inquiries addressed to me (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) if it has been requested; consent can be revoked at any time.
The data you send to me via contact requests will remain with me until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g., after your inquiry has been fully processed).
