III. General information about data processing

1. Scope of processing of personal data

As a general rule, we only process personal data of our users in so far as this is necessary for the purpose of providing a functional website as well as our content and services. The processing of personal data of our users is regularly only done with the consent of the user. An exception applies in those cases in which obtaining prior consent is not possible for actual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by legal regulations..

2. Legal basis for the use of personal data

If we request 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 base. When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures. If processing of personal data is necessary to comply with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 (1) c GDPR serves as the legal basis. In the case that essential interests of the data subject or another natural person make the processing of personal data necessary, Art. 6 (1) (d) GDPR serves as the legal basis. If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, primary rights and fundamental freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the data processing.

3. Data deletion and storage period

The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage no longer applies. Storage may also take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a necessity for the continued storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract.

The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user's computer. For this purpose, the user's IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session. The storage in log files is done to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, we use the data to optimise the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.

We will delete the data as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected.

In the case of storage of data in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. Storage beyond this period is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or alienated so that an assignment of the calling client is no longer possible.
