1. General information on data processing

1.1. Scope of personal data processing

We generally collect and use personal data of our users only to the extent necessary for providing a functional website, as well as our content and services. The collection and use of personal data of our users is regularly done with the user's consent. An exception applies in cases where obtaining prior consent is not possible for factual reasons and the processing of data is permitted by legal regulations.

1.2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Where we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Article 6(1)(a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.

For the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations required for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.

If the processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis.

1.3. Data deletion and retention period

The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to exist. Storage may also take place if provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws, or other provisions to which the data controller is subject.

2. Provision of the website and creation of log files

Information about the browser type and version used
The user's operating system
The user's IP address
Date and time of access
Websites from which the user's system accessed our website
Websites accessed by the user's system through our website

This data is also stored in our system's log files.

2.2. Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

2.3. Purpose of data processing

The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the delivery of the website to the user's computer. For this purpose, the user's IP address must be stored for the duration of the session.

The storage in log files is carried out to ensure the functionality of the website. Additionally, the data is used for optimizing the website and ensuring the security of our information technology systems. There is no evaluation of the data for marketing purposes in this context.

These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in data processing under Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

2.4. Duration of storage

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of data collected for the provision of the website, this occurs when the respective session is terminated.

In the case of data stored in log files, this will happen no later than 365 days. Extended storage may be possible. In such cases, the IP addresses of the users will be deleted or anonymized, so that identification of the accessing client is no longer possible.
