III. General information on data processing

1. Scope of processing of personal data

As a matter of principle, we process personal data of our users only to the extent that  this is necessary for the provision of a functional website as well as our content and services. The processing of personal data of our users is usually only carried out with the consent of the user. An exception applies in cases where it is not possible to obtain prior consent for factual reasons and the processing of the data is required by law.

2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

When obtaining the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis.

Where the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.

 Where the processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfilment of a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis.

In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, and such interest does not override the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data, , Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

3. Legal basis for the processing of data on your terminal equipment

The legal basis for the use of strictly necessary cookies and related data processing is § 25 (2) TTDSG in conjunction with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The purpose of the processing is to make it easier for you to use our website and to be able to offer you our services as requested. Some functions of our website do not work without the use of these cookies and could therefore not be offered if they would not be in place. Our legitimate interest in processing cookies arises from the aforementioned purposes. The cookies are deleted at the end of each session (e.g. logging out or closing the browser) or after the expiry of a specific period of time.

The legal basis for the use of non-strictly necessary cookies is your consent, which you have given us via the cookie banner in accordance with § 25 (1) TTDSG in conjunction with Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR. For these services, you can revoke your consent at any time with future effect or subsequently give it again. This can be done by accessing your settings for cookies and privacy online via our data protection information and configuring them accordingly. Alternatively, you can prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser software. Please note that the browser settings you have made only apply to the browser you are using. For more detailed information, please refer to the descriptions below.

4. Data deletion and storage period

The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for which it was stored no longer applies. In addition, storage may take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other regulations to which the controller is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract.

The following data is collected:

Date and time of access

Websites from which the user's system accesses our website

This data is stored in the log files of our system. This does not apply to the user's IP addresses or other data that enables the data to be assigned to a user. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.

2. Purpose of data processing

The data is stored in log files in order to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, we use the data to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. In this context, the data is not evaluated for marketing purposes.

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is strictly necessary for the operation of the website. The user can object to this. Due to the anonymization of the data, it is highly unlikely that the objection can be realized, as it is very difficult, if not impossible, to establish a personal reference to them.

In this case, the storage of and access to cookies on your terminal equipment is based on § 25 para. 2 no. 2 TTDSG. This storage and access to the information in your terminal equipment serves to make it easier for you to use our website and to be able to offer you our services as you have requested.

4. Duration of storage, possibility of objection and removal

You can withdraw your consent at any time by clicking on the button in the bottom left corner of the website.
