A.) General information on data processing
1.) Personal data
Personal data is individual information about personal or factual circumstances of a specific or identifiable natural person. This includes information such as name, address, telephone number, email address, and the IP address of a connection. Information that is not directly associated with the identity of a person, e.g. favourite websites or site visitors, is not personal data.
2.) Scope of the processing of personal data
As a matter of principle, we collect and use personal user data only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website with our content and services. The collection and use of personal user data is regularly only carried out with the consent of the user. An exception applies in those cases where it is not possible to obtain prior consent for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by legal regulations.
3.) Legal basis for the processing of personal data.
Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing operations involving 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.
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) DSGVO serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.
If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override the former interest, Art. 6 (1) f DSGVO serves as the legal basis for the processing.
4.) Data deletion and storage period
The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. In addition, storage may take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other provisions to which we are subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need to continue storing the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract.
B.) Provision of the website and creation of log files
Each time our website is accessed, data and information on the computer system of the user may be automatically collected. This includes only information that does not allow conclusions about personal data.
- IP address of the user
- Date and time of access
- browser type and version
- user’s operating system
- user's Internet service provider
- websites from which the user's system accesses our website (referrer)
- websites that are accessed by the user's system via our website
This data may be stored in the log files of our system. This data would not be stored together with other personal data of the user.
Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data and the log files is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO
Purpose of data processing
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 IP address of the user 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 or the security of our information technology systems.
These purposes are also our legitimate interest in data processing according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.
Duration of storage
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended.
In the case of storage of data in log files, this is the case after three months at the latest. Storage beyond this period is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or disguised in a way that an assignment of the calling client is no longer possible.
Possibility of objection and removal
The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility of objection on the part of the user.
C. Use of cookies
Our Internet pages may use "cookies". Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser. This makes it possible to store specific information related to you, the user, on your PC while you are visiting our website. Cookies help to determine the frequency of use and the number of users of a website, as well as to make the internet offer as comfortable and efficient as possible for you.
Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the processing of personal data using technically necessary cookies is Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies for analysis purposes is Art. 6 (1) lit. a DSGVO if the user has given his consent in this regard.
Purpose of the data processing
The purpose of using technically necessary cookies is to simplify the use of websites for users. Some functions of our 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 by technically necessary cookies are not used to create user profiles.
The analysis cookies are used for the purpose of improving the quality of our website and its content. Through the analysis cookies, we learn how the website is used and can thus constantly optimize our offer.
In these purposes also lies our legitimate interest in the processing of personal data according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.
Duration of storage
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.
Possibility of objection and removal
It is also possible to use our website without cookies. You can deactivate the storage of cookies in your browser, limit it to certain websites or set your browser to notify you as soon as a cookie is sent. Please note, however, that in this case you must expect a restricted display of the page and a restricted user guidance.
D.) Contact via email
If you contact us by email, your email address and your message will be transmitted to us and stored by us.
Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the processing of data is Art. 6 (1) lit. a DSGVO if the user has given his consent.
The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of sending an e-mail is Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO. If an email contact aims at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO.
Purpose of the data processing
In the case of contact by email, this also constitutes the necessary legitimate interest in processing the data.
Duration of storage
The data will be deleted after the expiry of the retention obligations under commercial and tax law.
Possibility of objection and removal
The user has the possibility to revoke his consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the user contacts us by email, he can object to the storage of his personal data at any time. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued. The revocation can be made by sending an email or by contacting us by telephone or postal mail.
All personal data stored in the course of contacting us will be deleted in this case.
E.) Rights of the data subject
If personal data is processed by you, you are a data subject within the meaning of the DSGVO and you are entitled to the following rights against us ("the responsible party"):
1.) Right to information
You may request confirmation as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed by us.
If such processing exists, you may request information from us about the following:
a.) the purposes for which the personal data are processed;
b.) the categories of personal data which are processed;
c.) the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been or will be disclosed;
d.) the planned duration of the storage of the personal data relating to you or, if specific information on this is not possible, criteria for determining the storage period;
e.) the existence of a right to rectification or erasure of the personal data concerning you, a right to restriction of processing by us or a right to object to such processing;
f.) the existence of a right of appeal to a supervisory authority;
g.) any available information about the origin of the data, if the personal data is not collected from the data subject.
You have the right to request information on whether the personal data concerning you is transferred to a third country or to an international organization. In this context, you may request to be informed about the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Art. 46 DSGVO in connection with the transfer.
2.) Right to rectification
You have a right to rectification and/or completion if the processed personal data concerning you are inaccurate or incomplete. The rectification shall be carried out by us without undue delay.
3.) Right to deletion
3.1.) You may request that we delete the personal data concerning you without undue delay, and we shall be obliged to delete such data without undue delay, provided that one of the following reasons applies:
a.) The personal data concerning you are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
b.) You revoke your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6 (1) a or Art. 9 (2) a DSGVO and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
c.) You object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) DSGVO and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (2) DSGVO.
d.) The personal data concerning you has been processed unlawfully.
e.) The erasure of the personal data concerning you is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Federal Republic of Germany.
f.) The personal data concerning you has been collected in relation to information society services offered in accordance with Art. 8(1) DSGVO.
3.2.) The right to erasure does not exist insofar as the processing is required
a.) for the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information;
b.) for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing under Union or Federal Republic of Germany law, or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest;
c.) for reasons of public interest in the area of public health pursuant to Art. 9 (2) (h) and (i) and Art. 9 (3) DSGVO;
d.) for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89 (1) DSGVO, insofar as the right referred to in paragraph 1 is likely to render impossible or seriously prejudice the achievement of the purposes of such processing; or
e.) for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims.
4.) Right to restriction of processing
You may request the restriction of the processing of personal data concerning you under the following conditions:
a.) if you dispute the accuracy of the personal data concerning you for a period of time that allows us to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
b.) the processing is unlawful and you object to the erasure of the personal data and request instead the restriction of the use of the personal data;
c.) we no longer need the personal data for the purposes of processing, but you need it for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims; or
d.) if you have objected to the processing pursuant to Article 21 (1) DSGVO and it is not yet clear whether our legitimate grounds override your grounds.
If the processing of personal data relating to you has been restricted, such data may - apart from being stored - only be processed with your consent or for the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims or protecting the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or a Member State.
If the restriction of processing has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, you will be informed by us before the restriction is lifted.
5.) Right to information
If you have exercised the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing, we are obliged to inform all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you has been disclosed of this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.
You also have the right to be informed about these recipients.
6.) Right to data portability
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to us in a structured, common and machine-readable format. In addition, you have the right to transfer this data to another controller without hindrance from us, provided that
a.) the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) a DSGVO or Art. 9 (2) a DSGVO or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 (1) b DSGVO and
b.) the processing is carried out with the help of automated procedures.
In exercising this right, you also have the right to obtain that the personal data concerning you be transferred directly from one controller to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible. Freedoms and rights of other persons must not be affected by this.
The right to data portability does not apply to processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.
7.) Right of objection
You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the DSGVO; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
After an objection, we will no longer process the personal data concerning you, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
If the personal data concerning you is processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such marketing.
If you object to the processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes.
8.) Right to revoke your declaration of consent under data protection law.
You have the right to revoke your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The revocation of the consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.
9.) Right to complain to a supervisory authority
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your residence, workplace or the place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the GDPR.
