Providing data is voluntary. However, without it we may not be able to respond to your enquiry, prepare an offer or conclude and perform a contract.

Your personal data may be disclosed to the following recipients:

5. Transfers to third countries
When using services provided by Google and Meta, personal data may be transferred to the USA. Such transfers are safeguarded by the European Commission’s adequacy decision (EU-US Data Privacy Framework) for certified companies, or by standard contractual clauses approved by the European Commission, which form part of the terms of these services.
6. Profiling and automated decision-making
When processing your personal data, we do not carry out automated individual decision-making that would produce legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affect you. Marketing cookies (if you consent to them) enable Google and Meta to show you advertisements tailored to your interests.
7. Your rights
- Right of access – you have the right to obtain confirmation as to whether we process your personal data and, if so, to access it and obtain a copy (Art. 15 of the Regulation).
- Right to rectification – you have the right to have inaccurate data corrected and incomplete data completed.
- Right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”) – you have the right to have your data erased if the conditions of Art. 17 of the Regulation are met (e.g. the data is no longer necessary). Erasure may be prevented by a legal obligation, e.g. to retain accounting documents.
- Right to restriction of processing – e.g. if you contest the accuracy of the data or need it for the establishment of legal claims.
- Right to data portability – for data processed by automated means on the basis of consent or a contract.
- Right to object – to processing based on legitimate interest. We will then no longer process the data unless we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds. You may object to direct marketing at any time without giving a reason.
- Right to withdraw consent – you may withdraw your consent at any time (for cookies via the cookie settings on the website, otherwise by e-mail). Withdrawal does not affect the lawfulness of processing before its withdrawal.

In the case of a manifestly unfounded or excessive (in particular repetitive) request, we may charge a reasonable fee or refuse the request.
