You have the right to have the data that we process on an automated basis based on your consent, or in fulfilment of the contract, sent to you or a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you demand the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will take place only in as far as it is technically feasible.
SSL or TLS encryption
For security reasons and to protect the transfer of confidential content such as orders or enquiries that you send to us, as the page operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can identify an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser address line changes from “http://” to “https://” and the lock symbol appears in your browser line.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data that you transmit to us cannot be also read by third parties.

Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to receive free-of-charge information about your stored personal data, their origin and recipients and the purpose of data processing and, where applicable, a right to rectification or erasure of these data. To exercise this right and if you have any further questions on the subject of personal data, you can contact us at the address stated in the legal information at any time.

- If the processing of your personal data took place/is taking place illegally, you can demand the restriction of data processing instead of its erasure.
- If we no longer need your personal data but you need them for the exercise, defence or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to demand the restriction of processing of your personal data instead of their erasure.
- If you have lodged a complaint in accordance with Article 21 (1) GDPR, balancing of your and our interests must be performed. For as long as it is not yet established whose interests prevail, you have the right to demand the restriction of processing of your personal data.

Storage of the IP address
Our comment function stores the IP address of the users writing the comments. As we do not review comments on this website before they are posted, we need these data to enable us to issue proceedings against the author in the event of legal breaches such as slander or propaganda.

Legal basis

5. Plug-ins and tools
YouTube with extended data protection
This website integrates videos from YouTube. The operator of the pages is Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
To guarantee data protection on this website, we use YouTube only together with the DoubleClick solution. A plug-in prevents data being transferred to YouTube the first time the page is visited.
A direct connection to the provider’s server is only created when the “Consent to loading of YouTube content” button is clicked (consent). Clicking the button represents consent as defined by point a) of Article 6 (1) GDPR. You can revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future.
We use YouTube in extended data protection mode. According to YouTube, this mode means that YouTube does not store any information about visitors to this website before they view the video. However, disclosure of data to YouTube partners is not bindingly ruled out by extended data protection mode. Regardless of whether you view a video, YouTube creates a connection to the Google DoubleClick network.
A connection to the YouTube servers is created as soon as you start a YouTube video on this website. In this process, which of our pages you have visited is communicated to the YouTube server. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to directly assign your browsing behaviour to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.
In addition, YouTube can store various cookies on your device after a video is started. With the aid of these cookies, YouTube is able to receive information about visitors to this website. This information is used for purposes including recording video statistics, improving user-friendliness, and preventing attempted fraud. The cookies remain on your device until you delete them.
After a YouTube video is started, additional data processing processes over which we do not have any influence may be triggered.
YouTube is used in the interest of corresponding representation of our online offerings. This represents a legitimate interest in the sense of point f) of Article 6 (1) GDPR. If corresponding consent has been requested (e.g. consent to the storage of cookies), processing takes place exclusively on the basis of point a) of Article 6 (1) GDPR; this consent can be revoked at any time.
You can find additional information about data protection at YouTube in its Privacy Policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en.
