Cookies are small pieces of information that may be stored on or read from your device.

Technologies that are strictly necessary for providing a digital service expressly requested by you may be used without prior consent where the requirements of Section 25(2) TDDDG are met.

Where storage of information on your device or access to information already stored on your device is not strictly necessary, such access or storage will generally take place only after your prior consent in accordance with Section 25(1) TDDDG.

Where personal data is subsequently processed through cookies or similar technologies, the relevant legal basis under the GDPR applies. Consent-based processing is generally based on Article 6(1)(a) GDPR.

Further information about cookies, cookie categories, purposes, providers and available settings can be found in our Cookie Policy .

14. Cookie and Consent Settings

You may reject optional technologies or, where available, configure your preferences by category.

You can withdraw or modify a consent previously given at any time with effect for the future.

The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out on the basis of consent before its withdrawal.

15. Analytics, Statistics and Marketing Services

Where analytics, statistics, marketing or comparable technologies that are not technically necessary are used, they will only be activated in accordance with the applicable legal requirements.

Where consent is required, such services will only be activated after you have given your prior consent.

In such cases, the processing of personal data is generally based on Article 6(1)(a) GDPR and, where applicable, access to or storage of information on your device is based on Section 25(1) TDDDG.

16. External Content and Services

Our website may contain external content or services such as maps, embedded media, technical resources or other functions provided by third parties.

Where such services require consent, they will only be loaded after consent has been given.

In such cases, appropriate data processing agreements pursuant to Article 28 GDPR are concluded where required.

19. International Data Transfers

In connection with our business operations, website infrastructure, email services, hosting, security services, communication tools or other technical services, personal data may in certain circumstances be processed outside the European Union or European Economic Area.

Any such transfer is carried out in accordance with Articles 44 et seq. GDPR.

Where the European Commission has adopted an adequacy decision for the relevant country or recipient, a transfer may be based on that decision.

Where no adequacy decision exists, appropriate safeguards may be used, including Standard Contractual Clauses adopted by the European Commission pursuant to Article 46 GDPR or another transfer mechanism permitted under applicable data protection law.

20. Retention Period

Personal data is retained only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which it was collected or as required by applicable legal, contractual, accounting, reporting or regulatory obligations.

  • the nature and sensitivity of the personal data;
  • the duration of our relationship with you;
  • applicable statutory retention periods;
  • the need to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

Where personal data is no longer required and no further legal basis for retaining it exists, it will be deleted or anonymised in accordance with applicable law.

ANSE GmbH implements appropriate technical and organisational measures designed to protect personal data against accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorised disclosure, access or other unlawful processing.

Such measures may include access controls, technical security safeguards, security procedures and organisational measures appropriate to the nature of the processing and the associated risks.

While appropriate safeguards are implemented, no electronic transmission or storage method can guarantee absolute security.

22. SSL/TLS Encryption

Our website uses an encrypted connection where technically provided. An encrypted connection can generally be recognised by the use of "https://" in your browser's address bar.

If such processing is introduced in the future, the information and safeguards required by applicable data protection law will be provided.

25. Your Rights Under the GDPR

Subject to the conditions and limitations provided by applicable law, you may have the following rights:

We will then cease processing the personal data concerned unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing is required for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

Where personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to processing for such marketing, including profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.
