General information on the legal bases for data processing on this website
If you have consented to data processing, I process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR, insofar as special categories of data pursuant to Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR are processed. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is additionally carried out on the basis of Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to access to information on your end device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), data processing is additionally carried out on the basis of § 25 para. 1 TTDSG. Consent may be revoked at any time.
If your data are required for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, I process your data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

Data processing may also be carried out on the basis of my legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The respective legal bases applicable in each individual case are explained in the following sections of this privacy policy.
Revocation of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may revoke consent you have already given at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out up to the point of revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct advertising (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 AT ANY TIME, FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, I WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA CONCERNED UNLESS I CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ASSERTION, EXERCISE OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 PARA. 1 GDPR).
IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA ARE PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT ADVERTISING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH ADVERTISING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT ADVERTISING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT ADVERTISING (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 PARA. 2 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, their place of work or the place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to data portability
You have the right to receive data which I process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract, either to yourself or to 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 insofar as it is technically feasible.
SSL or TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to me as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser’s address bar.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to me cannot be read by third parties.
Information, erasure and rectification
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, their origin and recipients and the purpose of the data processing and, if applicable, a right to rectification or erasure of these data. For this purpose, as well as for further 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 the restriction of the processing of your personal data. For this purpose, you may contact me at any time. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
If you contest the accuracy of your personal data stored by me, I usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the verification, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
If I no longer need your personal data, but you need them 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 erasure.
If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR, a balancing of your interests and my interests must be carried out. 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, these data – apart from their storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.
Objection to advertising emails
The use of contact data published within the scope of the legal notice obligation for the sending of advertising and information materials not expressly requested is hereby objected to. The operator of the pages expressly reserves the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam emails.
4. Data collection on this website
Cookies
My websites use so-called “cookies”. Cookies are small text files and do not cause any damage to your end device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (persistent cookies) on your end device. Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Persistent cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them yourself or automatic deletion occurs via your web browser.
In some cases, cookies from third-party companies may also be stored on your end device when you enter our site (third-party cookies). These enable us or you to use certain services of the third-party company (e.g. cookies for processing payment services).
Cookies have various functions. Numerous cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping cart function or the display of videos). Other cookies serve to evaluate user behaviour or to display advertising.
Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions requested by you (e.g. for the shopping cart function) or to optimise the website (e.g. cookies for measuring the web audience) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TTDSG); consent may be revoked at any time.
You can configure your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and allow cookies only in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted.
Insofar as cookies are used by third-party companies or for analysis purposes, we will inform you about this separately within the scope of this privacy policy and, if necessary, request consent.
Server log files
The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are:
Browser type and browser version
Operating system used
Referrer URL
Host name of the accessing computer
Time of the server request
IP address
These data are not merged with other data sources.
The collection of these data is based on 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 – for this purpose, the server log files must be recorded.
Contact form
If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including the contact data you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We do not pass on these data without your consent.
The processing of these data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, provided that your enquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR), if this has been requested; consent may be revoked at any time.
The data you enter in the contact form remain with us until you request us to delete them, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your enquiry has been processed). Mandatory statutory provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
Enquiry by email, telephone or fax
If you contact us by email, telephone or fax, your enquiry, including all resulting personal data (name, enquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your request. We do not pass on these data without your consent.
The processing of these data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, provided that your enquiry is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR), if this has been requested; consent may be revoked at any time.
The data sent to us by you via contact enquiries remain with us until you request us to delete them, 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.
5. Newsletter
Newsletter data
If you would like to receive the newsletter offered on the website, we require an email address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the email address provided and that you consent to receiving the newsletter. No further data are collected, or only on a voluntary basis. We use these data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass them on to third parties.
The processing of the data entered into the newsletter registration form is carried out exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You may revoke the consent you have given to the storage of the data, the email address and its use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the “unsubscribe” link in the newsletter. The lawfulness of the data processing operations already carried out remains unaffected by the revocation.
The data you provide to us for the purpose of receiving the newsletter will be stored by us until you unsubscribe from the newsletter with us or the newsletter service provider and will be deleted from the newsletter distribution list after unsubscribing from the newsletter or when the purpose no longer applies. We reserve the right to delete or block email addresses from our newsletter distribution list at our own discretion within the scope of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
Data that have been stored by us for other purposes remain unaffected by this.
After you have unsubscribed from the newsletter distribution list, your email address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist, insofar as this is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist are used only for this purpose and are not merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with the legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). Storage in the blacklist is not limited in time. You may object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.
Privacy Policy for the Instagram Presence and Instagram Plugins on the Website
The following information informs you about the processing of personal data in connection with our Instagram presence as well as the integration of Instagram functions on my website.
Processing of personal data on our Instagram page
I operate a publicly accessible page (business profile) on the platform
“Instagram”, a service of
Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland
(hereinafter “Meta”).
Data processing on Instagram is carried out partly under joint controllership pursuant to Art. 26 GDPR between Meta and myself.
The agreement on joint controllership can be accessed here:
👉 https://www.facebook.com/legal/controller_addendum
Purposes and legal bases of processing
I process personal data in order to:
• communicate with users via posts, comments, direct messages or stories (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR – legitimate interest in communication and public relations),
• analyse my reach and target groups (via Instagram Insights) (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR – legitimate interest in the analysis and optimisation of our content),
• place advertisements or evaluate campaigns (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR with consent granted via Instagram or Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR based on legitimate interest).
I have no influence on the data collected by Meta and the further processing by Meta. Meta processes users’ data, inter alia, for analysis and advertising purposes.
Further information can be found in Meta’s data policy at:
👉 https://privacycenter.instagram.com/policy
Joint controllership and data collection by Meta
When visiting my page, Meta automatically collects usage data (e.g. IP address, device information, interactions, likes, comments).
These data are made available to Meta and transmitted to me in anonymised form as “Page Insights”.
In this context, I receive only statistical evaluations (e.g. demographic data, reach, interaction rates), not direct personal data.
Meta is independently responsible for how it processes data for its own purposes (e.g. profiling or advertising).
Information on this can be found at:
👉 https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy
Recipients of the data / transfer to third countries
Meta Platforms Ireland may transfer data to
Meta Platforms Inc., 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA.
The transfer of data to the USA takes place on the basis of the EU–US Data Privacy Framework certification of Meta Platforms, Inc. (Art. 45 GDPR).
More information:
👉 https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/participant?id=a2zt0000000GnywAAC
Communication via Instagram (direct messages, comments, etc.)
If you communicate with me via Instagram (e.g. via comment, message or reaction), your information will be processed exclusively for the purpose of handling your request.
The legal basis is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interest in user communication).
Integration of Instagram content on our website
My website uses social plugins and functions of Instagram (e.g. embedding of posts, like buttons, profile widgets).
When accessing a page with such a plugin, a connection to Meta’s servers is established. In this process, personal data (e.g. IP address, browser data) may be transmitted to Meta.
The legal basis for the integration is your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR via our cookie consent tool.
Without your consent, the content will not be loaded.
Further information on processing by Meta can be found at:
👉 https://privacycenter.instagram.com/policy
Storage period
I delete or anonymise personal data as soon as the purpose of processing ceases to apply, you withdraw your consent or a legitimate request for deletion is submitted, provided that no statutory retention obligations exist.
Your rights as a data subject
Under the GDPR, you have the following rights:
•
Right of access (Art. 15 GDPR)

Please note:
For data processing carried out by Meta, please contact Meta Platforms Ireland Ltd. directly, as only Meta has full access to user and profile data.
Changes to this policy
I reserve the right to amend this privacy policy in order to adapt it to changes in the legal situation or new functions on Instagram. The version currently linked on my website shall apply.
