As part of our business activities, we work with various external parties. In some cases, the transmission of personal data to these external parties is also required. We only pass on personal data to external parties if this is necessary as part of fulfilling a contractual obligation, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g., the disclosure of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the data transfer. When using contract processors, we only pass on personal data of our customers based on a valid contract for contract processing. In the case of joint processing, a contract for joint processing is concluded.

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Revocation of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke an already given consent at any time. The legality of data processing carried out up to the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right of objection to data collection in special cases as well as to direct advertising (Art. 21 GDPR)

Right of objection 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) OF GDPR, YOU HAVE AT ANY TIME THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA ON GROUNDS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. FOR EACH LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH A PROCESSING IS BASED, YOU SHOULD REVIEW THIS DATA PROTECTION NOTICE. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA, EXCEPT WHERE WE CAN PROVE OBJECTIONABLE PROHIBITIVE GROUNDS outweighING YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR WHERE THE PROCESSING IS NECESSARY FOR THE ASSERTION, EXERCISE OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL RIGHTS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 21(1) OF GDPR).

Right to complain to the competent supervisory authority

Right to complain to the competent supervisory authority
In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to file a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or the place of the alleged violation. This right to file a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data portability

Right to data portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over 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 as far as it is technically feasible.

Information, correction and deletion

Within the framework of the applicable legal regulations, you have the right at any time to obtain information free of charge about your stored personal data, their origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, and if applicable, the right to correct or delete this data. For this purpose and for any further questions regarding personal data, you can contact us at any time.

Right to restrict processing

Right to restrict processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. To exercise this right, you can contact us at any time. The right to restrict the processing exists in the following cases:
If you dispute the accuracy of the personal data we have stored about you, we usually need time to verify this. During the verification period, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. If the processing of your personal data occurred unlawfully, you may request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion. If we no longer need your personal data but you need it to exercise, defend or establish legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of processing instead of deletion.
Request the deletion of the restriction on the processing of your personal data. If you have filed an objection pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it is not yet clear which 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 may only be processed – apart from their storage – with your consent or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims or to protect the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

Our websites use so-called „cookies“. Cookies are small data packages that do not cause any damage to your device. They are either temporarily stored on your device for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies). Session cookies are deleted automatically after the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them yourself or an automatic deletion is performed by your web browser. Cookies can be from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services from third-party companies within websites (e.g., cookies for processing payment services). Cookies have various functions. Numerous 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 can be used for analyzing user behavior or for advertising purposes. Cookies that are necessary for the implementation of the electronic communication process, for providing certain functions you wish to use (e.g., the shopping cart function), or for optimizing the website (e.g., cookies for measuring web traffic) are stored based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent has been requested for the storage of cookies and similar recognition technologies, processing will only take place based on this consent (Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and § 25(1) of the TDDDG); the consent is revocable at any time. You can set your browser to be informed about the setting of cookies and to allow cookies only in individual cases, to exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or generally, and to activate automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. Deactivation of cookies may limit the functionality of this website. You can find information about which cookies and services are used on this website in this privacy policy.

To manage the cookies and similar technologies (tracking pixels, web beacons, etc.) used and the consents related to them, we use the Consent Tool „Real Cookie Banner“. Details on how „Real Cookie Banner“ works can be found here. <a href="/en/“https://devowl.io/de/rcb/datenverarbeitung/“/" rel="“noreferrer“" target="“_blank“">https://devowl.io/de/rcb/datenverarbeitung/</a>.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data in this context is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the management of the cookies and similar technologies used and the related consents.

The provision of personal data is neither contractually required nor necessary for the conclusion of a contract. You are not obliged to provide the personal data. If you do not provide the personal data, we will not be able to manage your consent.

Contact form

If you submit inquiries to us via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent. The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, provided that your inquiry relates 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 effectively processing the inquiries submitted to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR), provided that this has been requested; the consent can be withdrawn at any time. The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after your request has been completed). Compulsory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
