II. General information on data processing

(1) Personal data is generally only processed to the extent necessary to provide a functional website including content and services. As a rule, processing only takes place with the consent of the data subject. Exceptionally, processing takes place without the consent of the data subject if this is not possible for actual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by legal regulations.

(2) Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data, insofar as consent of the data subject has been obtained for processing operations of personal data.

Art. 6 (1) lit. b DSGVO serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data, insofar as this is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.

Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c DSGVO serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data, insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfillment of a legal obligation to which the company is subject.

Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data, insofar as this is necessary for the processing to protect a legitimate interest of the company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override the first-mentioned interest.

(3) The personal data of the data subject shall be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Storage may also take place if this has been provided for by relevant national or European regulations. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract.

III. Use of the Internet presence

(1) Each time the website is accessed, the system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the accessing computer.

The following data is collected:

The data is stored in the log files of the system. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.

(2) The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

(3) The collection and temporary storage of the IP address is necessary to enable the display of the website on your terminal device. For this purpose, your IP address must be stored for the duration of your visit to the website. An evaluation of this data for marketing or analysis purposes does not take place.

(4) The data will be deleted when the respective session has ended. Insofar as this data is stored in log files, this is the case after one month 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.

(5) The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is absolutely necessary for the provision of the internet presence. Consequently, there is no possibility to object.

IV. Cookies use

(1) The website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in the Internet browser or by the Internet browser on the user's computer system. This cookie contains a characteristic string of characters that enables the browser to be uniquely identified when the Internet presence is called up again. Cookies cannot transmit viruses to the end device or execute programs themselves.

Cookies are used to make a website more user-friendly. Some elements of the website require that the calling browser can be identified even after a page change.

If cookies are not technically necessary, they are only loaded with the user's consent. For this purpose, we use a plugin that does not collect any personal data itself.

Transient cookies are automatically deleted when the session is closed. These include session cookies, which store the so-called session ID, by means of which various requests of the web browser can be assigned to the common session. This makes it possible to recognize the end device during a new session.

Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a specified storage period, which may differ depending on the cookie. The associated settings can be deleted at any time in the web browser settings.

The following data is stored in the cookies:

(2) The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

(3) The purpose of using technically necessary cookies is to simplify the use of websites for users. Some functions of the website cannot be offered without the use of cookies. For these, it is necessary that the browser is recognized even after a page change.

The user data collected through technically necessary cookies are not used to create user profiles.

(4) Cookies are stored on the user's computer and transmitted from it to our site. Therefore, you as a user also have full control over the use of cookies. By changing the settings in your Internet browser, you can disable or restrict the transmission of cookies. Cookies that have already been stored can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. If cookies are deactivated for our website, it may no longer be possible to use all functions of the website in full.

In addition, the following data is collected during registration:

As part of the registration process, the user's consent to the processing of this data is obtained with reference to the privacy policy.

If the registration serves the fulfillment of a contract to which the user is a party or the implementation of pre-contractual measures, the additional legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO.

(3) Registration of the user is required to set up a customer account. It thus serves to identify the user and fulfill the usage contract for the service.

(4) The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. This is the case for data collected during the registration process for the fulfillment of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures when the data is no longer required for the implementation of the contract. Even after the conclusion of the contract, there may be a need to store personal data of the contractual partner in order to fulfill contractual or legal obligations.

(5) Data subjects have the option to modify user data in their user profile at any time. Insofar as the data is required for the fulfillment of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, early deletion of the data is only possible insofar as contractual or legal obligations do not prevent deletion.

If the e-mail contact aims at the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. b DSGVO.

The additional personal data collected during the sending process will be deleted after a period of seven days at the latest.

(5) The data subject has the possibility to revoke his consent to the processing of personal data at any time. When contacting us by e-mail, the storage of personal data can be revoked at any time. In such a case, however, the conversation can then not be continued.

(4) The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. Accordingly, the user's e-mail address will be stored as long as the subscription to the newsletter is active.

The other personal data collected during the registration process is usually deleted after a period of seven days.

(5) The subscription to the newsletter can be cancelled by the data subject at any time. For this purpose, a corresponding link can be found in each newsletter.
