GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT DATA PROCESSING 

 

Extent of processing of personal data

In principle, we process personal data of our users only to the extent necessary for the provision of a functional website and our content and services. The processing of personal data of our users takes place regularly only with the consent of the user. An exception applies to cases in which prior consent is not possible for reasons of fact and the processing of the data is permitted by law.

 

Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing of personal data, Art. 6 (1) (a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO) serves as the legal basis.

 

In the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a contract of which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 (1) (b) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations required to carry out pre-contractual measures.

 

Insofar as it is necessary to process personal data in order to fulfill a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 (1) (c) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis.

 

In the event that vital interests of the data subject or any other natural person require the processing of personal data, Article 6 (1) (d) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis.

 

If processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of our company or a third party and if the interest, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the person concerned do not outweigh the former interest, then Art. 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

 

Data erasure and storage duration

The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage is deleted. In addition, it may be stored if provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other regulations to which the controller is subject. A blocking or deletion of the data takes place even if a storage period prescribed by the mentioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for a conclusion of contract or a fulfillment of the contract.

Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Article 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR.

 

Purpose of data processing

The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to allow delivery of the website to the computer of the user. To do this, the user’s IP address must be kept for the duration of the session.

 

Storage in log files is done to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, the data is used to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context.

For these purposes, our legitimate interest lies in the processing of data according to Art. 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR.

Opposition and removal possibility

The collection of the data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is essential for the operation of the website. There is consequently no contradiction on the part of the user.
