Advice on data transfer to the USA
Our website includes tools from companies based in the USA. If these tools are active, your personal data may be shared with the U.S. servers of the respective companies. We would like to point out that the USA is not a secure third country within the meaning of EU data protection law. US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you as the data subject being able to take legal action against this. It can therefore not be ruled out that US authorities (e.B. secret services) process, evaluate and permanently store your data on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.
A transfer of personal data to a third country is possible despite the lack of an adequacy decision or other suitable guarantees if the data subject has given his or her consent to the data transfer in accordance with Article 49 (1)(1) (a) GDPRafter he or she has been informed of the possible risks of such data transfers for him or her. We again expressly refer to the legal risks described above, in particular the access possibilities of US authorities to your data as well as the lack of legal protection options against this.
Revocation of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke your consent at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to object to data collection in special cases as well as to direct advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)
If the data processing is carried out on the basis of article 6 (1) (e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right at any time to object to the processing of your personal data for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which a processing is based can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your data subjects’ personal data subjects, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal rights(objection pursuant to Art. 21 Para. 1 GDPR).
If your personal data are processed for direct marketing purposes, 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 then no longer be used for the purpose of direct advertising (objection to Art. 21 Para. 2 GDPR).
Right of appeal to a supervisory authority
In the event of violations of the GDPR, the persons concerned 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 complainant shall be genuine without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.
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 controller, this will only be done to the extent that it is technically feasible.
SSL- bzw. TLS-Verschlüsselung
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or requests that you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted interface by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. For this purpose, you can contact us at any time at the address given in the imprint. The right to restriction of the work exists in the following cases:
● If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the examination, you have the right to request the restriction of the process of your personal data.
● If the processing of your personal data has happened/happens unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
● If we need your personal data no more, 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 filed are buttal pursuant to Article 21 (1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. 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.
