You have the right to complain to the supervisory authority according to art. 77 GDPR if you believe that your data is not being processed legally.


Right to data transferability

You have the right to have data which we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract handed over to yourself or to third parties.

The VÖLKL GmbH & Co. KG is a wholly owned subsidiary of B. Stumpp & S. Baier Gesellschaft für personenbezogene Schutzausrüstung mbH.
