b. Legal Basis

Use of this website may result in processing of personal data. The legal term ‘personal data’ refers to all information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. In data protection law, the IP address is also considered personal data. An IP address is assigned to each device connected to the internet by the internet provider so that it can send and receive data. We also automatically collect certain information about your use of the site during your visit to the site.

 

We process personal data in compliance with the data protection regulations, primarily the GDPR and the BDSG. Our data processing solely occurs with legal permission. We process personal data

  • solely with your consent (Art. 6 section 1 letter a) GDPR),
  • to perform a contract to which you are a party or to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract (Art. 6 section 1 letter b) GDPR),
  • to comply with a legal obligation (Art. 6 section 1 letter c) GDPR) or
  • where processing is necessary for the purposes of our legitimate interests or those of a third party, except where such interests are overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms which require protection of personal data (Art. 6 section 1 letter f) GDPR).

 

c. Period of Storage

Unless otherwise stated in the following, we will only store your data for as long as required to achieve the intended processing purpose or to fulfil our contractual or statutory obligations.

 

d. Recipients of data

Unless otherwise stated in the following, the personal data is processed on servers of service providers. For this, we rely on processors. The processing activities carried out by processors include hosting, maintenance and support of IT systems, accounting, marketing or destruction of paper files and data carriers. A ‘processor’ is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller. Processors process data not for their own purposes but solely for the controller and are contractually obliged to implement appropriate technical and organizational measures ensuring data protection. 

 

Should your data be transferred to further recipients, you can find this information under the description of the respective processing activity.

 

2. Processing of server log files

When using our website for informative purposes only, general information that your browser transfers to our server is initially stored automatically (not via registration). This includes by default: browser type/-version, operating system used, page called, the previously visited page (referrer URL), IP address, date and time of server request and HTTP status code.

 

The processing is carried out in pursuit of our legitimate interests and is based on Art. 6 section 1 letter f) GDPR. This processing serves the technical administration and security of the website. The data collected will be deleted after seven days unless there is a justified suspicion of illegal use based on concrete indications and further examination and processing of the information is necessary for this reason.

 

We are unable to identify you as a data subject based on the information collected. Art. 15 to 22 GDPR therefore do not apply pursuant to Art. 11 section 2 GDPR, unless you provide additional information to enable your identification in order to exercise the rights set out in these articles.

 

3. Contact and requests

If you send us a message via our contact email address, we will process the transferred data in order to process the request. We process this data in pursuit of our legitimate interest to reach out to persons submitting requests. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 section 1 letter f) GDPR.

 

4. Cookies

We use cookies and similar technologies on our website. Cookies are small text files that are stored by your browser when you visit a website. This makes the browser identifiable so it can be recognised by our web server. If the use of cookies results in processing personal data, the respective processing activity is based on Art. 6 section 1 letter f) GDPR. The use of cookies is necessary to maintain functionality and operation of our website. The processing serves our legitimate interests.

 

You can delete cookies in the security settings of your browser at any time. You can object to the use of cookies entirely or for certain cases in your browser settings.

5. Processing in the exercise of your rights pursuant to Art. 15 bis 22 GDPR

If you exercise your rights pursuant to Art. 12 to 22 GDPR we will process the data you provided during the request, in order to fulfil this request and to acquire proof thereof.

 

Data stored for the purpose of granting you your right of access and for the preparation thereof will only be processed for this purpose and for the purpose of data protection control. Any further processing is restricted in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR.

 

These processing operations are based on Art. 6 section 1 letter c) GDPR in conjunction with Art. 15 to 22 GDPR and section 34 para. 2 BDSG.
