2. General information on the processing of personal data

We only collect and use the personal data of our users in principle if necessary for the provision of a functional website and our content and services. We regularly collect and use the personal data of our users only with the user’s consent. An exception is made where it is not possible to obtain consent in advance for factual reasons and data processing is permitted by virtue of statutory provisions.

Where we obtain the user’s consent for the processing of personal data (also referred to as “interested party”), Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR shall apply as a legal basis. Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. b GDPR shall apply as a legal basis in the processing of personal data for fulfilment of a contract, the contractual party of which is the interested party. This also applies to processing necessary for the execution of pre-contractual measures.
Where processing of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation incumbent on our company , Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c GDPR shall apply as a legal basis.
Where vital interests of the interested party or another natural person necessitate the processing of personal data, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. d GDPR shall apply as a legal basis.
If processing is necessary to preserve a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, and if the interests, basic rights and basic freedoms of the interested party do not outweigh the initially stated interest, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR shall apply as a legal basis for processing.

The personal data of the interested party is deleted or blocked as soon as the storage purpose expires. Data can also be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in regulations, laws or other provisions under European Union law, to which the person responsible is subject. Blocking or deletion of the data also occurs if a storage period prescribed for by the stated standards expires, unless it is necessary to continue to store the data for contract signature or contractual fulfilment.

When you contact us by email, we shall store the data provided by you in order to answer your question. We delete the data collected within this context when storage is no longer required, i.e. the purpose of storage ceases to apply, or limit the processing if statutory storage obligations exist.

If we have recourse to contracted service providers for individual functions of our proposition or want to use your data for commercial purposes, we shall inform you in detail below of the respective processes. We shall also state the criteria determined regarding the storage period.

3. Your rights as an interested party

4. Collection of personal data when visiting our website

It is generally possible to use our website without specifying personal information. If using the website purely for information purposes, i.e. if you have not registered with us or are not forwarding information to us by another means, we shall only collect the personal data which your browser transmits to our server. If you wish to view our website, we collect the following data which is technically necessary for us to display our website for you and to guarantee stability and security (legal basis is Art. 6 Para. 1 Clause 1 lit. f GDPR):

  • IP address
  • Date and time of the query
  • Content of the request (specific page)
  • Access status / HTTP status code
  • Data volume transferred in each instance
  • Website from which the request originates (browser type)
  • User’s operating system
  • Browser software language and version

The data is also stored in the log files of our system. The IP addresses of the user or other data which enable the assignment of information to a user are not affected by this. This data together with other personal data of the user is not stored (the legal basis is Art. 6 Para. 1 Clause 1 lit. f GDPR).

Storage takes place in log files to ensure the functionality of the website. The data also helps us to optimise the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. Evaluation of the data for marketing purposes shall not take place in this context.

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose of collection. Where data is collected to provide the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended.

Where data is stored in log files, this applies after seven days at the latest. Storage exceeding this scope is possible. In this case, the user’s IP addresses are deleted or alienated so that it is no longer possible to assign it to the customer retrieved.

Collecting data for provision of the website and storage of the data in log files is vital for the operation of the website. Consequently, the user has no possibility of objection.
