The secure handling of your data is particularly important to us. We would therefore like to inform you in detail about the use of your data when you visit our website.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Legal basis of the processing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a GDPR serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, when processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service or consideration, the processing is based on Article 6 (1) GDPR. S. 1 lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. S. 1 lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may become necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person, Art. 6 para. S. 1 lit. d GDPR. Ultimately, processing operations could also be based on Art. 6 para. S. 1 lit. f GDPR are based. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Forwarding of data<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.

The consequence of this is that we may no longer continue the data processing that was based on this consent in the future and  <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.
