II.       General information on data processing

1.          Scope of the processing of personal data

In principle, we only process the personal data of our users 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 takes place regularly only with the consent of the user. An exception applies in cases where prior consent is not possible for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by legal regulations.

2.          Legal basis for processing personal data

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

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

Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfillment of a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c DSGVO serves as the legal basis.

In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person make it necessary to process personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d DSGVO serves as the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override the former interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO serves as the legal basis for the processing.

3.          Data deletion and storage duration

The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage is no longer necessary. Storage may also 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 shall also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the above-mentioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion of a contract or a fulfilment of the contract.

• The user’s operating system
• The user’s Internet service provider
• The user’s IP address
• Date and time of access
• Websites from which the user’s system enters our website
• Websites accessed by the user’s system via our website

The data is also stored in the log files of our system. This does not affect the IP addresses of the user or other data that allows the data to be assigned to a user. This data will not be stored together with other personal data of the user.

2.          Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.
