We host our website with AWS. Provider is Amazon Web Services EMEA SARL, 38 Avenue John F. Kennedy, 1855
Luxembourg (hereinafter: AWS).
When you visit our website, your personal data is processed on the servers of AWS. Personal data may also
be transferred to the parent company of AWS in the USA. The data transfer to the USA is based on the EU
standard contractual clauses. Details can be found here:
https://aws.amazon.com/de/privacy/?nc1=f_pr.
For more information, please see the AWS privacy policy: https://aws.amazon.com/de/privacy/?nc1=f_pr.
The use of AWS is based on Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. f GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in ensuring that our
website is presented as reliably as possible. Insofar as a corresponding consent has been requested, the
processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. f GDPR.; the consent can be
revoked at any time.
We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) with the above-mentioned provider. This is a contract mandated by data privacy laws that guarantees that they process personal data of our website visitors only based on our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.
The operators of this website and its pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously.
Hence, we handle your personal data as confidential information and in compliance with the statutory data
protection regulations and this Data Protection Declaration.
Whenever you use this website, a variety of personal information will be collected. Personal data
comprises data that can be used to personally identify you. This Data Protection Declaration explains
which data we collect as well as the purposes we use this data for. It also explains how, and for which
purpose the information is collected.
We herewith advise you that the transmission of data via the Internet (i.e. through e-mail communications)
may be prone to security gaps. It is not possible to completely protect data against third party access.
The data processing controller on this website is:
Marina Mazein
Schützenplatz 10
01067 Dresden
E-Mail:
The controller is the natural person or legal entity that single-handedly or jointly with others makes
decisions as to the purposes of and resources for the processing of personal data (e.g. names, e-mail
addresses, etc.).
Unless a more specific retention period has been specified within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for processing the data no longer applies. If you assert a justified request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g. retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the data will be deleted once these reasons no longer apply.
Among other things, we use tools from companies based in the USA or other third countries that are not secure under data protection law. If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these third countries and processed there. We would like to point out that no level of data protection comparable to that in the EU can be guaranteed in these countries. For example, US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you as a data subject being able to take legal action against this. It can therefore not be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. intelligence services) process, evaluate and permanently store your data located on US servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke your consent at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
In the event that data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. e or f GDPR, you have the right
to at any time object to the processing of your personal data based on grounds arising from your unique
situation. This also applies to any profiling based on these provisions. To determine the legal basis, on
which any processing of data is based, please consult this Data Protection Declaration. If you log an
objection, we will no longer process your affected personal data, unless we are in a position to present
compelling protection worthy grounds for the processing of your data, that outweigh your interests, rights
and freedoms or if the purpose of the processing is the claiming, exercising or defence of legal
entitlements (objection pursuant to Art. 21 Sect. 1 GDPR).
If your personal data is being processed in order to engage in direct advertising, you have the right to
at any time object to the processing of your affected personal data for the purposes of such advertising.
This also applies to profiling to the extent that it is affiliated with such direct advertising. If you
object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for direct advertising purposes (objection
pursuant to Art. 21 Sect. 2 GDPR).
In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects are entitled to log a complaint with a supervisory agency, in particular in the member state where they usually maintain their domicile, place of work or at the place where the alleged violation occurred. The right to log a complaint is in effect regardless of any other administrative or court proceedings available as legal recourses.
You have the right to demand that we hand over any data we automatically process on the basis of your consent or in order to fulfill a contract be handed over to you or a third party in a commonly used, machine readable format. If you should demand the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will be done only if it is technically feasible.
For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as purchase orders or inquiries you submit to us as the website operator, this website uses either an SSL or a TLS encryption programme. You can recognise an encrypted connection by checking whether the address line of the browser switches from “http://” to “https://” and also by the appearance of the lock icon in the browser line. If the SSL or TLS encryption is activated, data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Within the scope of the applicable statutory provisions, you have the right to at any time demand information about your archived personal data, their source and recipients as well as the purpose of the processing of your data. You may also have a right to have your data rectified, blocked or eradicated. If you have questions about this subject matter or any other questions about personal data, please do not hesitate to contact us at any time at the address provided in section “Information Required by Law.”
You have the right to demand the imposition of restrictions as far as the processing of your personal
data is concerned. To do so, you may contact us at any time at the address provided in section
“Information Required by Law.” The right to demand restriction of processing applies in the following
cases:
In the event that you should dispute the correctness of your data archived by us, we will usually need
some time to verify this claim. During the time that this investigation is ongoing, you have the right to
demand that we restrict the processing of your personal data.
If the processing of your personal data was/is conducted in an unlawful manner, you have the option to
demand the restriction of the processing of your data in lieu of demanding the eradication of this data.
If we do not need your personal data any longer and you need it to exercise, defend or claim legal
entitlements, you have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead
of its eradication.
If you have raised an objection pursuant to Art. 21 Sect. 1 GDPR, your rights and our rights will have to
be weighed against each other. As long as it has not been determined whose interests prevail, you have the
right to demand a restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data – with the exception of their
archiving – may be processed only subject to your consent or to claim, exercise or defend legal
entitlements or to protect the rights of other natural persons or legal entities or for important public
interest reasons cited by the European Union or a member state of the EU.

The processing of these data is based on Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. f GDPR., if your request is related to the
execution of a contract or if it is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. In all other cases
the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the requests addressed
to us (Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. f GDPR.) or on your agreement (Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. f GDPR.) if this has been
