II     General information on data processing

1.    Scope of processing of personal data

In principle, we process personal data of our users only insofar as this is necessary to provide a functioning 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 can not be obtained for reasons of fact and the processing of the data is permitted by law.

2.    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 Para. 1 lit. a EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as legal basis.
The processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party shall be governed by Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR as legal basis. This also applies to processing operations required to carry out pre-contractual actions.
To the extent that processing of personal data is required to fulfill a legal obligation that governs our business, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c GDPR is legal basis.
In the event that vital interests of the data subject or any other natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. d GDPR is legal basis.
If the processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of our company or a third party, and the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the person concerned do not outweigh the former interest, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR is legal basis for processing.

3.    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, such storage may be provided for the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other regulations to which the person responsible is subject. Blocking or deletion of the data also takes place when a storage period prescribed by the standards mentioned expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for conclusion of a contract or fulfillment of the contract.

III    Provision of the website and creation of log files

1.    Description and scope of data processing

Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the calling computer.
The following data is collected here:

  • Date and time of access
  • URL of the referring website
  • Requested website or file
  • Amount of data sent
  • Browser type and version
  • Operating system
  • IP address
  • Used device type

The data is stored directly anonymously. The data is also stored in the log files of our system. Storage of this data together with other personal data of the user does not take place.

2. Legal basis for data processing

Legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit.  f GDPR.

3. Purpose of the 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.
 In these purposes is our legitimate interest in data processing according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

4.    Duration of storage

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purpose of its collection. In the case of collecting the data for providing the website, this is the case when the respective session is completed.

In the case of storing the data in log files, this is the case after no more than seven days. An additional storage is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are shortened, so that a mapping of the calling client is no longer possible.

5.    Possibility of appeal and removal

The collection of 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 possibility of appeal and removal on the part of the user.

IV    Use of cookies

Our website does not use cookies.
