The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.
By using this website, various personal data will be collected. Personal data is data with which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this happens.
We would like to point out that data transfer on the internet (e.g. in email communication) may have security vulnerabilities. It is not possible to protect data completely from third-party access.
The controller for the processing of data on this website is:
Michael Sonntag
Gertrud-Caspari-Street 6
01109 Dresden
Telephone: 03518804098
E-mail:
The controller is the natural or legal person who, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data (e.g. names, email addresses, etc.).
Unless a more specific retention period is stated within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing ceases to apply. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke consent to data processing, your data will be deleted, provided we have no other legally permissible grounds for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial retention periods); in the latter case, deletion will occur after these grounds cease to apply.
If you have consented to data processing, we will process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, where special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9(1) GDPR are processed. In the event of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing will also be based on Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your end device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), data processing will additionally be based on § 25(1) TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required for the performance of a contract or for pre-contractual measures, we will process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Furthermore, we will process your data if it is necessary for the fulfilment of a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Data processing may also take place on the basis of our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The respective legal bases applicable in individual cases are explained in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.
As part of our business operations, we collaborate with various external parties. This sometimes requires the transfer of personal data to these external parties. We only transfer personal data to external parties if it is necessary for the performance of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g., transfer of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the transfer pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the transfer of data. When using processors, we only transfer our customers' personal data on the basis of a valid contract for order processing. In the case of joint processing, a contract for joint processing is concluded.
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can withdraw consent already granted at any time. The lawfulness of data processing carried out prior to the withdrawal shall remain unaffected by the withdrawal.
WHERE THE PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA AT ANY TIME FOR REASONS ARISING FROM YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. YOU CAN FIND THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH A PROCESSING IS BASED IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR THE PROCESSING IS FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21(1) GDPR).
If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing; this also applies to profiling, insofar as it is linked to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will no longer be processed for the purposes of direct marketing (objection pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR).
In the event of infringements of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge 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 infringement. The right to complain is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.
You have the right to receive the data that we automatically process on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, in a common, machine-readable format, or to have it transferred to a third party. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done if it is technically feasible.
Under the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, their origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, and, if applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose, as well as for further questions on the subject of personal data.
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restrict processing exists in the following cases:
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, that data may – apart from its storage – only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.
Our websites use so-called „cookies“. Cookies are small data packets and do not cause any damage to your terminal device. They are either stored temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies) on your terminal device. Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your terminal device until you delete them yourself or automatic deletion by your web browser occurs.
Cookies can originate 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 serve various functions. Numerous cookies are technically necessary as 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 analysing user behaviour or for advertising purposes.
Cookies that are necessary for the electronic communication process, for providing certain functionalities you request (e.g., for the shopping cart function), or for optimising the website (e.g., cookies for measuring the web audience) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for the technically flawless and optimised provision of its services. If consent has been requested for the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies, processing will be carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR and Section 25(1) of the TDDDG); consent can be withdrawn at any time.
You can set your browser to inform you about the setting of cookies and to allow cookies only on a case-by-case basis, to exclude the acceptance of cookies for specific cases or in general, and to activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser. If cookies are deactivated, the functionality of this website may be restricted.
If further cookies and services are used on this website, you can find this out in this privacy policy.
If you contact us by email, telephone, or fax, your request, including all personal data arising from it (name, enquiry), will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of handling your enquiry. We will not pass on this data without your consent.
The processing of this data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, provided your enquiry relates to the fulfilment of a contract or is necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective handling of enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) provided this has been requested; consent can be withdrawn at any time.
The data you send to us via contact requests will remain with us until you request its deletion, withdraw your consent for storage, or the purpose for data storage ceases to apply (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – particularly statutory retention periods – remain unaffected.
We use, among other things, the instant messaging service WhatsApp for communication with our customers and other third parties. The provider is WhatsApp Ireland Limited, Merrion Road, Dublin 4, D04 X2K5, Ireland.
Communication is end-to-end encrypted (peer-to-peer), which prevents WhatsApp or other third parties from accessing the content of communications. However, WhatsApp does gain access to metadata generated during the communication process (e.g. sender, recipient, and time). We further point out that WhatsApp, according to its own statement, shares personal data of its users with its US-based parent company Meta. Further details on data processing can be found in WhatsApp's privacy policy at: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/#privacy-policy.
The use of WhatsApp is based on our legitimate interest in the fastest and most effective communication possible with customers, interested parties, and other business and contractual partners (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). If corresponding consent has been requested, data processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of consent; this can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.
The content of communications exchanged between you and us on WhatsApp will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage ceases to apply (e.g., after your enquiry has been fully processed). Mandatory legal provisions – particularly retention periods – remain unaffected.
The company is certified under the „EU-US Data Privacy Framework“ (DPF). The DPF is an agreement between the European Union and the USA, intended to ensure compliance with European data protection standards for data processing in the USA. Any company certified under the DPF commits to adhering to these data protection standards. Further information on this can be obtained from the provider via the following link: https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/participant/7735.
We use WhatsApp in the „WhatsApp Business“ variant.
Data transfers to the USA are based on the EU Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses. You can find details here: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/business-data-transfer-addendum.
This website uses the Google Maps map service. The provider is Google Ireland Limited („Google“), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland. This service enables us to embed map material on our website.
To use Google Maps features, it is necessary to store your IP address. This information is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this site has no influence on this data transfer. If Google Maps is activated, Google may use Google Fonts for the purpose of a uniform display of fonts. When you call up Google Maps, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly.
The use of Google Maps is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offerings and for easy location of the places indicated on the website. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. If appropriate consent has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the legal basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR and § 25 (1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information on the user's end device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent can be withdrawn at any time.
