E-mail: datenschutz@microstaxx.de

Withdrawing consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke your consent at any time. To do so, an informal e-mail notification to us is sufficient. The legality of the data processing carried out until you withdraw your consent remains unaffected thereby.

Right to object to data collection in special cases and to direct advertising (art. 21 GDPR)
If data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (e) or (f) GDPR, you have the right at any time to object to the processing of your personal data 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 Privacy Policy. If you file an objection, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can prove we have compelling grounds to continue processing the data which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or processing serves the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims (objection pursuant to/under Art. 21 (1) GDPR).

If your personal data is processed for the purpose of direct advertising, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is connected with such direct advertising. If you object, your personal data will no longer be used for direct marketing purposes (objection pursuant to/under to Art. 21(2) GDPR).

Right of appeal to the competent supervisory authority
In the event of GDPR infringements, the persons concerned have the right to appeal to a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, workplace or place of presumed infringement. The right of appeal shall be without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.

Right to data transferability
You have the right to have data which we automatically process, on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract, transferred to you or 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 insofar as 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 recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Information, blocking, deletion and correction
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right to receive, at any time and free of charge, information on 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 said data. You can contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice of this website for this purpose as well as with any other questions on 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 at the address given in the legal notice of this website. The right to restrict processing exists in the following cases:

  • If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored with us, we usually need time to verify this. You have the right to demand the restriction of the processing of your personal data while we are verifying/looking into the matter.
  • If the processing of your personal data has taken place unlawfully, you can demand the restriction of data processing rather than deletion.
  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exert, defend or assert a legal claim, you have the right to demand that restrictions are imposed on the processing of your personal data rather than deletion.
  • If you have filed an objection pursuant to art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your and our interests. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests take precedence, you have the right to demand that the processing of your personal data be restricted.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, besides being stored, your data may only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, 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.

Objection to e-mail marketing
We hereby object to the use of contact data published within the scope of the obligatory legal notice to send unsolicited advertising and information material. The operators of this website expressly reserve the right to take legal action against unsolicited mailing or e-mailing of spam and other similar advertising materials.
