If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as technically feasible.
2.8. 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 enquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognise 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 address line.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

You can contact us at any time if you have further questions about personal data.
2.10. Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data. For this purpose, you may contact us at any time at the address indicated in the legal notice. You have the right to restriction of processing in the following instances:
- If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need time to check this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
- If the processing of your personal data was/is undertaken unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing in place of erasure.
- If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defence or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data in place of its erasure.
- If you have lodged an objection under Art. 21(1) EU GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. If it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data.
- If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, other than for storage purposes such data may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.
