If your contact aims to conclude a contract, an additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Your data will be deleted after your request has been processed.

4) Comment function
In the context of the comment function on this website, your comment, the time of its creation, and the commentator name you have chosen will be stored and published on this website.

We require your email address to contact you in case a third party objects to your published content as unlawful.
The legal basis for storing your data is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b and f GDPR. We reserve the right to delete comments if they are objected to by third parties as unlawful.

5) Online marketing
Amazon
We participate in the affiliate program of the following provider: Amazon EU S.a.r.l., 38 avenue John F. Kennedy, L-1855 Luxembourg
In this context, we have placed links on our website that lead to offers on the provider's or third party websites ("partner sites").
For measuring the success of an affiliate link, evaluating orders generated through such links, and billing commission payments, the provider uses cookies and/or similar technologies, which are generally set on the partner sites and are not our responsibility from a data protection perspective. The provider regularly processes IP addresses and possibly other device information.
All the aforementioned processing, especially the reading or storing of information on the device you use, only occurs if you have given your explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR. You can revoke your consent at any time with future effect by using the cookie consent management options on the partner sites.

6) Tools and Miscellaneous
Cookie consent tool
This website uses a "cookie consent tool" to obtain effective user consents for consent-required cookies and cookie-based applications. The "cookie consent tool" is displayed to users in an interactive user interface when they visit the site, allowing them to give consents for specific cookies and/or cookie-based applications by checking boxes. The tool ensures that all consent-required cookies/services are only loaded if the user gives the corresponding consents by checking boxes. This ensures that such cookies are only set on the user's device if consent is given.
The tool sets technically necessary cookies to store your cookie preferences. Personal user data is generally not processed in this context.
If, in individual cases, personal data is processed for the purpose of storing, associating, or logging cookie settings (such as the IP address), this is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR based on our legitimate interest in a legally compliant, user-specific, and user-friendly consent management for cookies and thus a legally compliant design of our website.
Another legal basis for processing is also Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c GDPR. As data controllers, we are legally obliged to make the use of technically unnecessary cookies dependent on the respective user consent.
If necessary, we have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider to ensure the protection of data of our site visitors and to prohibit unauthorized disclosure to third parties.
For further information about the operator and the settings of the cookie consent tool, please refer directly to the relevant user interface on our website.

IF YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT, WE WILL CEASE PROCESSING THE DATA CONCERNED.

IF YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT, WE WILL STOP PROCESSING THE DATA CONCERNED FOR DIRECT ADVERTISING PURPOSES.

8) Duration of storage of personal data
The duration of the storage of personal data is determined by the respective legal basis, the purpose of processing, and – if applicable – additionally by the respective statutory retention period (e.g. commercial and tax retention periods).
If personal data is processed on the basis of explicit consent according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR, the data concerned will be stored until you revoke your consent.
If there are statutory retention periods for data processed within the context of legal or similar obligations based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR, such data will be routinely deleted after the retention periods expire if they are no longer necessary for contract fulfillment or initiation and/or if there is no longer a legitimate interest in continued storage from our side.
If personal data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR, such data will be stored until you exercise your right to object according to Art. 21 Para. 1 GDPR, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or if the processing serves to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims.
If personal data is processed for the purpose of direct advertising based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR, such data will be stored until you exercise your right to object according to Art. 21 Para. 2 GDPR.
Unless otherwise stated in the specific processing situations in the other information in this declaration, stored personal data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
