80331 Munich

Phone: 089-18917360
E-Mail: email@iitr.de

Recipients of personal data

As part of our business operations, we collaborate with various external entities. This sometimes requires the transfer of personal data to these external entities. We only transfer personal data to external entities when it is necessary for the performance of a contract, when we are legally obligated to do so (e.g., disclosure of data to tax authorities), when we have a legitimate interest in the disclosure pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or when another legal basis permits the data transfer. When using order processors, we only transfer our customers' personal data on the basis of a valid order processing agreement. In the event of joint processing, a joint processing agreement will be concluded.

Withdrawal of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke a previously given consent at any time. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to object to data processing in special cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

If the data 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 on grounds relating to your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. You can find the respective legal basis on which 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 processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to establish, exercise or defend 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 your personal data for such marketing, including profiling, to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If you object, your personal data will no longer be processed for direct marketing purposes (objection pursuant to Art. 21 para. 2 GDPR).

Right of complaint to the competent supervisory authority

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, their place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. The right to complain shall be without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy.

Right to data portability

You have the right to have data that we automatically process based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to you or a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible.

Information, Rectification, and Deletion

You have the right, at any time and within the scope of the applicable legal provisions, to free information about your stored personal data, its 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.

Right to restrict processing

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 restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

• If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we generally require time to verify it. During the verification period, you have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data.
• If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request a restriction of the processing instead of deletion.
• If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of erasure.
• If you have lodged an objection under Article 21(1) of the GDPR, a balancing of your interests and our interests must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data may be processed – apart from storage – only with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense 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.

SSL/TLS encryption

This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries, that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the browser's address bar changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock icon in your browser bar.
