The Data Controller shall inform the data subject of any such extension within one month of receipt of the request, together with the reasons for the delay. If the data subject submitted the request electronically, the information shall be provided electronically where possible, unless the data subject requests otherwise. If the Data Controller does not take action on the request, it shall inform the data subject without undue delay, and at the latest within one month of receipt of the request, of the reasons for not taking action and of the possibility to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority and to seek judicial remedy.

In the above cases, only the data strictly necessary for browsing the website are processed, or—where consent is given—for improving usability and user experience, and, in the case of newsletter subscription, for the purpose of delivering newsletters, until the data subject unsubscribes from the newsletter.

If you contact the Company in connection with the conclusion of a contract (including complaints, warranty, or guarantee cases), data processing will be governed by the data protection notice applicable to contractual partners.

Personal data provided for newsletter subscription or for other purposes will not be linked together, as identifying visitors is not our primary objective.

Personal data are provided voluntarily when subscribing to the newsletter or contacting the Service Provider. Therefore, we kindly ask you to ensure the accuracy, correctness, and completeness of the data you provide, as you are responsible for them. Incorrect, inaccurate, or incomplete data may prevent the use of our services.

  • by withdrawing your consent to data processing, or
  • by withdrawing consent for, or requesting the restriction of, the processing or use of any mandatory data provided during registration.

Due to technical reasons, the registration of consent withdrawal may take up to 5 days; however, please note that for the fulfillment of legal obligations or the enforcement of our legitimate interests, certain data may still be processed after consent has been withdrawn.

In the event of the use of misleading personal data, or if a visitor commits a criminal offense or attacks the Company’s systems, the visitor’s registration will be terminated and their data will be deleted without delay, or—where necessary—retained for the duration required to establish civil liability or conduct criminal proceedings.

Rights of Visitors and Legal Remedies

  1. Right to Access Information

The data subject may at any time request information from the Data Controller in writing via the contact details provided above, requesting the Data Controller to inform them about:

  • what personal data,
  • on what legal basis,
  • for what data processing purpose,
  • from what source,
  • for how long it is processed,
  • to whom, when, and on what legal basis the Data Controller has granted access to, or

to whom the Data Controller has disclosed the personal data.

The Data Controller shall comply with the data subject’s request within a maximum of 30 days by sending a response to the contact details provided by the data subject.

  1. Right to Rectification

The data subject may at any time request in writing, via the contact details provided above, that the Data Controller rectify or modify any of their personal data (for example, change their email address). Prior to fulfilling the request, the Data Controller may request appropriate verification of the change in the personal data (e.g. change of email address or name). The Data Controller shall comply with the request within a maximum of 30 days and shall notify the data subject via the contact details provided.

  1. Right to Erasure

The data subject may request the erasure of their personal data from the Data Controller in writing via the contact details provided above. The Data Controller shall reject the request if it is required by law to retain the personal data, or if data processing is based on a legal ground other than consent (e.g. retention of data is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims). If no such obligation or legal ground exists, the Data Controller shall comply with the request within a maximum of 30 days and notify the data subject via the contact details provided.

  1. Right to Restriction of Processing

The data subject may request in writing, via the contact details provided above, that the Data Controller restrict the processing of their personal data. The restriction shall apply for as long as the reason indicated by the data subject necessitates the storage of the data. For example, the data subject may request restriction if they believe the Data Controller has processed the data unlawfully, but the data subject requires the data to be retained for the initiation of authority or court proceedings. In such cases, the Data Controller shall continue to store the personal data until contacted by the authority or court, after which the data shall be erased.

  1. Right to Data Portability

The data subject is entitled to receive the personal data concerning them, which they have provided to the Data Controller based on consent or for the performance of a contract, and which are processed by automated means, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. The data subject is also entitled to transmit those data to another data controller; therefore, upon request, the Data Controller shall provide the data to the data subject on a CD within 30 days.

  1. Right to Object

The data subject may object in writing to the processing of their personal data via the contact details provided above if the Data Controller intends to transfer or use personal data for direct marketing, opinion polling, or scientific research purposes. For example, the data subject may object if they received a newsletter from the Data Controller without prior consent. The data subject may also object to data processing if, in their opinion, it is carried out solely for the legitimate interests of the Data Controller or a third party, unless the processing is justified by compelling legitimate grounds which override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject, or which relate to the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims. For example, no objection may be raised if personal data are disclosed to an authority in the course of an ongoing official procedure.

  1. Initiation of Court Proceedings

In the event of unlawful data processing experienced by the data subject, they may initiate civil proceedings against the Data Controller. The adjudication of such proceedings falls within the jurisdiction of the courts. A list of courts and their contact details is available at the following link:
