General Information on Data Processing
1. Scope of the Processing of Personal Data
We process the personal data of our users only to the extent necessary to provide a functioning website and our content and services. The personal data of our users is processed on a regular basis only after the user has given his consent. An exception shall be made in cases where the prior consent of the user could not be obtained for valid reasons and the processing of the data is permitted under statutory provisions.
2. Legal Basis for the Processing of Personal Data
If we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal
data, Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a EU General Data Protection Regulation
(GDPR) shall serve as the legal basis.
Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR shall serve as the legal basis for
the processing of
personal data required for the performance of a contract to which the data
subject is a party. This shall also apply to processing procedures required
for pre-contractual measures.
Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal
obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit.
c GDPR shall serve as the legal basis.
In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural
person necessitate the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence
1 lit. d GDPR shall serve as the legal basis.
In the event that the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate
interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental
rights and fundamental freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the
first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR shall serve
as the legal basis for the processing.
The personal data of the data subject shall be deleted or blocked as soon
as the purpose of storage no longer applies. In addition, the data may be
retained if the European or national legislator has so provided under Union
regulations, laws or other provisions which apply to the Controller. The
data shall also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the
aforementioned standards expires unless further storage of the data is
necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract.
If your personal data is processed you are the data subject within the
meaning of the GDPR and entitled to the following rights vis-à-vis the
Controller:
You can request confirmation from the Controller as to whether we process
your personal data.
In the event of such processing, you may ask the Controller to provide you
with the following information:
1. the purposes for which the personal data is processed;
2. the categories of personal data that are processed;
3. the recipients or categories of recipients to whom your personal data
has been disclosed or will be disclosed;
4. the planned duration of the storage of your personal data or, if it is
not possible to provide specific information in this regard, criteria for
determining the duration of storage;
5. the existence of a right to rectify or delete your personal data, a
right to limit the processing by the Controller or a right to object to
such processing;
6. the existence of a right of appeal to a supervisory authority;
7. all available information on the origin of the data if the personal data
is not collected from the data subject;
8. the existence of automated decision-making including profiling in
accordance with Article 22(1) and (4) GDPR and - at least in these cases -
meaningful information on the logic involved and the scope and intended
effects of such processing for the data subject.
You shall be entitled to request information as to whether your personal
data will be transferred to a third country or to an international
organisation. In this event you may request to be informed of the
appropriate guarantees pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR that shall apply in
connection with such a transfer.
You shall be entitled to have your personal data corrected and/or completed
by the Controller if the processed personal data concerning you is
inaccurate or incomplete. The Controller shall carry out the rectification
immediately.
Under the following conditions, you may request that the processing of your
personal data be restricted:
If the processing of your personal data has been restricted, such data -
apart from its retention - may only be processed with your consent or for
the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of
the rights of another natural or legal person or if it is substantially in
the public interest of the Union or a Member State.
If the limitation of processing has been restricted based on one of the
above conditions, you shall be informed by the Controller before the
restriction is lifted.
You may request the Controller to delete your personal data and the
Controller shall be under the obligation to delete such data immediately if
one of the following reasons applies:
1. your personal data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it
was collected or otherwise processed;
2. you revoke your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to
Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR and there is
no other legal basis for the processing;
3. you object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR and there
are no overriding legitimate reasons for the processing or you object to
the processing pursuant to Art. 21 para. 2 GDPR;
4. your personal data has been processed unlawfully;
5. the deletion of your personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal
obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States applicable to
the Controller;
6. your personal data relating has been collected in connection with
information society services pursuant to Art. 8 para. 1 GDPR.
In the event that the Controller has made your personal data public and is
under the obligation to delete your data in accordance with Art. 17 (1)
GDPR the Controller shall take appropriate measures, including technical
measures, taking into account the available technology and the
implementation costs, to inform the processors who process the personal
data that you, as the data subject, have requested them to delete all links
to this personal data or copies or replications of this personal data.
The right to deletion shall not exist if the processing is necessary
1. to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information;
2. to fulfil a legal obligation requiring the processing under the law of
the Union or the Member States that applies to the Controller, or to
perform a task that lies in the public interest or is performed in the
exercise of the official authority vested in the Controller;
3. for reasons of public interest in the field of public health pursuant to
Art. 9 para. 2 lit. h and i as well as Art. 9 para. 3 GDPR;
4. for archiving purposes in the public interest, for scientific or
historical research or for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89 para. 1
GDPR, insofar as the law referred to under section a) can be presumed to
make the attainment of such processing objectives impossible or to
seriously impair them, or
5. to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
In the event that you exercised your right to rectify, cancel or limit the
processing of your personal data vis-à-vis the Controller, the latter shall
be under the obligation to notify all recipients to whom your personal data
has been disclosed of such rectification, cancellation or limitation,
unless this proves to be impossible or involves a disproportionate amount
of effort.
You shall have the right to be informed of such recipients by the
Controller.
You shall be entitled to receive your personal data that you have provided
to the Controller in a structured, common and machine-readable format. You
shall, furthermore, have the right to communicate this data to another
Controller without being impeded by the Controller to whom the personal
data was provided, under the proviso that
In exercising this right, you shall also have the right to request that
your personal data be transmitted directly by one Controller to another
insofar as this is technically feasible. This shall not be to the detriment
of the freedoms and rights of other persons.
The right to data portability shall not apply to the processing of personal
data necessary for the performance of a task that is in the public interest
or in the exercise of the official authority vested in the data Controller.
You shall have the right, for reasons arising from your particular
situation, to object to the processing of your personal data at any time on
the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. e or f GDPR; this shall also apply to
profiling based on these provisions.
The Controller shall no longer process your personal data unless compelling
legitimate grounds for processing can be proven which outweigh your
interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert,
exercise or defend legal claims.
If your personal data is processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you
shall be entitled to object at any time to the processing of your personal
data for the purpose of such advertising; this shall also apply to
profiling insofar as it is connected to such direct marketing.
If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, your personal
data shall no longer be processed for such purposes.
You shall have the possibility to exercise your right of objection by means
of automated procedures that apply technical specifications in connection
with the use of information society services notwithstanding Directive
2002/58/EC.
You shall have the right to revoke your declaration of consent under the
data protection law at any time. The revocation of your consent shall not
affect the legality of the processing carried with your consent up to your
revocation.
You shall have the right not to be subjected to any decision based solely
on automated processing, including profiling, that gives rise to a legal
impact or a similar significant negative impact on you. This shall not
apply if the decision
However, these decisions shall not be based on special categories of
personal data under Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR, unless Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a or g
GDPR applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect the rights
and freedoms and your legitimate interests.
With regard to the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the Controller shall
take appropriate measures to protect the rights and freedoms and your
legitimate interests, including, at least, the right to obtain the
intervention of a person on the part of the Controller to state its own
position and to challenge the decision.
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you shall
be entitled to file a complaint with a supervisory authority, in
particular, in the Member State of your residence, place of work or the
place of alleged breach if you believe that the processing of your personal
data is in breach of the GDPR.
The supervisory authority with which the complaint was lodged shall inform
the complainant of the status and outcome of the complaint, including the
possibility of a judicial remedy under Article 78 GDPR.

enable the delivery of the website to the user's computer. For this
purpose, the user’s IP address is retained for the duration of the session.
The data is stored in log files to ensure the functionality of the website.

These purposes also represent our legitimate interest in the processing of
the data pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR.
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the
purpose for which it was collected. When data is collected for the purpose
of providing the website this purpose is achieved once the session in
question is closed.
When data is stored in log files, this is the case after seven days at the
latest. Retention beyond this date is possible. In this case the user’s IP
addresses are deleted or alienated so that it can no longer be assigned to
the accessing client.
The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of
data in log files is imperative for the operation of the website. The user,
therefore, does not have the possibility to object.
