4. Cookies
Our website uses cookies (session cookies as well as temporary and persistent cookies). These are small files that your browser automatically creates and stores on your device (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc.) when you visit our website. The use of a cookie does not necessarily mean that we can identify you.
The use of cookies serves, among other things, to record the frequency of use, number of users, and behavior patterns on our website, to increase the security of website use, and to make our information offering more user-friendly. Session cookies are automatically deleted once you leave the website.
In addition, we also use temporary cookies to optimize user-friendliness, which are stored on your device for a specific, defined period. When you visit our website again to use our services, it is automatically recognized that you have visited us before and which entries and settings you have made, so that you do not have to enter them again.
The use of cookies serves in particular the user-friendly and stable operation of the website and enables us to improve our offering. This constitutes a legitimate interest.
You can configure your browser settings so that no cookies are stored on your device. Fully disabling cookies may result in you not being able to use all functions of our website.
By continuing to use our website and/or by agreeing to this Privacy Policy, you consent to our setting of cookies and to the resulting collection, storage, and use of personal usage data, including beyond the end of the browser session. You may withdraw this consent at any time by activating the browser setting to refuse third-party cookies.
5. Other Recipients of Your Data
Your personal data is not transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed above.
The use of data processors is possible, in particular in connection with external IT service providers (including our website hosting provider, Squarespace, and email service providers used to manage waitlist and newsletter communications). These data processors carry out the relevant data processing exclusively on our behalf. They are bound by the same data protection obligations as we are.
6. Rights of Data Subjects
In connection with the processing of personal data, Data Subjects are granted the following rights by law. Please note that the scope and extent of these rights may vary depending on the specific data protection law applicable in each case:
Information: Data Subjects have the right to find out from us whether personal data concerning them is being processed, and if so, which data. Requests for information may be submitted to this effect.
Rectification: If personal data is inaccurate, Data Subjects have a legal right to have it corrected.
Objection: Where the processing of personal data is based on our legitimate interest, Data Subjects may object to the processing of their personal data. However, this applies only if you are in a particular situation where your personal interest outweighs the processing of your personal data. Compelling, overriding grounds remain reserved. Please also note that Data Subjects may object to the use of their personal data for direct marketing purposes. Processing based on other legal grounds remains unaffected by such objection.
Withdrawal of Consent: Where the processing of personal data is based on the Data Subject's consent, the Data Subject may withdraw it at any time. Processing based on other legal grounds remains unaffected by the withdrawal of consent. The withdrawal is effective only for the future.
Restriction: Under certain conditions, Data Subjects may request the restriction of the processing of their personal data, for example if the accuracy of the data is disputed. Please note that this may limit or even prevent the provision of our services in individual cases.
Data Portability: Where legally provided for, Data Subjects may request that personal data they have provided to us be delivered in a common, machine-readable format and — subject to significant countervailing interests — may reuse it.
Deletion: Data Subjects have a legal right to the deletion of their personal data if it is no longer needed for the purpose for which it was collected, or in the case of a valid objection or withdrawal of consent. In any case, use for legally mandated reasons and for the assertion, exercise, or defense of legal claims remains reserved.
Complaint: We further inform you that, depending on the applicable data protection law, Data Subjects may have a legal right to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection authority if they are dissatisfied with how their personal data has been handled.
7. Retention Period for Personal Data
Personal data of Data Subjects is retained for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or for as long as we have a legitimate interest in retaining it. Statutory retention obligations remain reserved.
