Note on data transfer to the USA
Among other things, tools from companies based in the USA are integrated on our website. When these tools are active, your personal information may be transferred to the US servers of the respective companies. We would like to point out that the USA is not a safe third country in the sense of EU data protection law. US companies are obliged to surrender personal data to security authorities without you as the person concerned being able to take legal action to prevent this. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. secret services) may process, evaluate and permanently store your data on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.
Revocation of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You may withdraw previously provided consent at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to object to the collection of data in special cases and to direct advertising (Article 21 GDPR)

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. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS DATA PROTECTION DECLARATION. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN PROVE THAT THERE ARE COMPELLING REASONS FOR PROCESSING, WHICH ARE WORTHY OF PROTECTION AND WHICH OUTWEIGH YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR IF THE PROCESSING SERVES TO ASSERT, EXERCISE OR DEFEND LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION ACCORDING TO ARTICLE 21 PARAGRAPH 1 GDPR).
IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA ARE PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING, INCLUDING PROFILING, INSOFAR AS IT IS LINKED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL THEREAFTER NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT ADVERTISING (OBJECTION ACCORDING TO ARTICLE 21 PARAGRAPH 2 GDPR).
Right of appeal to the competent supervisory authority
In the case of infringements of the GDPR, those concerned have a right of appeal to a supervisory authority, specifically in the Member State of their habitual residence, their place of work or the place of the suspected infringement. The right of appeal is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to data portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another responsible person, this will only be done to the extent it is technically feasible.
SSL or TLS encryption
This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or requests that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection because the beginning of the URL will change from “http://” to “https://” and a padlock symbol will appear in the browser line.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Information, correction and deletion
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to no-cost information about your stored personal data, their origin and recipient and the purpose of data processing and, if applicable, a right to correction, blocking or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time at the address given in the disclaimer if you have any further questions on the subject of personal data.
Right to restriction on processing
You have the right to demand limitations on the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice. The right to restriction of
processing exists in the following cases:
We usually need time to check if your personal data stored with us is correct. During the time it takes to check you have the right to demand limitations on the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data was/is carried out unlawfully, you may request that the data processing be restricted instead of deleted.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request that we limit the processing of your personal data instead of deleting it.
If you have lodged an objection under Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.
If the processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted, this data may only be used – apart from its retention – with your consent or for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims or protecting the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

The website operator has a justified interest in the storage of cookies for the technically error-free and optimised provision of his services.

Google Analytics
This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service that uses cookies (text files that are stored on your computer) to enable an analysis of your use of the website and to constantly improve and make our offer more interesting.
In case IP anonymising is activated on this website, your IP address will be truncated within the area of the Member States of the European Union or other parties to the agreement on the European Economic Area. This website uses Google Analytics with the extension “_anonymizeIp()”. This means that IP addresses are further processed in a shortened form, thus excluding the possibility of personal references. If the data collected about you contains a personal reference, this is immediately excluded and the personal data is therefore deleted immediately. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the US and truncated there. Google will use this information on behalf of the operator of this website to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activities and to provide further services to the website operator in connection with website and internet use.
The IP address submitted by your browser to Google Analytics will not be used in connection with other data from Google.
You may refuse the use of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings on your browser, however please note that if you do this you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. You can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to your use of the website (including your IP address) to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de.
You can also use the following switch to set a so-called Analytics-Opt-Out cookie, which prevents Google Analytics from collecting data when using this website in the future.
[borlabs-cookie type=”btn-switch-consent” id=”google-analytics” title=”Google Analytics”/]
The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics is Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest arises from optimisation and marketing purposes for which we use the results of Google Analytics. If you have consented to its use, the legal basis is Article 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.
