II. General Information about Data Processing

1. Transfer of Personal Data

When transmitting personal data, we use state-of-the-art encryption methods.

2. Scope of Processing of Personal Data

In principle, we process personal data of our users only insofar as this is necessary to provide a functioning website, as well as our content and services. The processing of personal data of our users regularly takes place only with the consent of the user. An exception applies to cases in which prior consent cannot be obtained for reasons of fact and in which the processing of the data is permitted by law.

3. Legal Basis for the Processing of Personal Data

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the person concerned for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as legal basis.

In the processing of personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the person concerned is a party, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as legal basis. This also applies to processing operations required to carry out pre-contractual measures.

Insofar as processing of personal data is required to fulfil a legal obligation that our company is subject to, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR serves as legal basis.

In the event that vital interests of the person concerned or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR serves as legal basis.

If the processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of our company or a third party, and if the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the person concerned do not prevail over the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as legal basis for processing.

4. Data Deletion and Storage Period

The personal data of the person concerned will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage has lapsed. In addition, such storage may occur where this is provided for by the European or national legislator in relevant European law regulations, laws or other provisions to which the person responsible is subject to. Deletion or locking of the data also takes place when a storage period required by the standards mentioned expires, unless further storage of the data is required for the conclusion or the fulfilment of a contract.

III. Provision of the Website and Creation of Log Files

1. Description and Scope of Data Processing

Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the calling computer. The following data is collected in this context:

(1) information about the browser type and version used;
(2) the operating system of the user;
(3) the internet service provider of the user;
(4) the IP address of the user;
(5) date and time of access;
(6) websites from which the system of the user reaches our website;
(7) websites accessed by the user’s system through our website.

The data is also stored in the log files of our system. A storage of this data together with other personal data of the user does not take place.

2. Legal Basis for Data Processing

The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

3. Purpose of Data Processing

The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to allow delivery of the website to the computer of the user. To do this, the user’s IP address must be stored for the duration of the session.

Log files are stored in order to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, the data is used to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context.

These purposes also justify our legitimate interest in the processing of data pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

4. Duration of Storage

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose of its collection. In the case of collecting the data for providing the website, this applies when the respective session is completed.

In the case of storing the data in log files, this applies after no more than seven days. Additional storage 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. Possibility to Appeal and Remove

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is essential for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility to appeal on the part of the user.

IV. Use of Cookies

1. Description and Scope of Data Processing

Our website uses cookies. Cookies are text files stored by the internet browser on the user’s computer system. When a user visits a website, a cookie may be stored on the user’s operating system. This cookie contains a characteristic string that allows the browser to be uniquely identified when the website is reopened.

We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly. Some elements of our website require that the calling browser be identified even after a page change. Cookies store and transmit language settings and log-in information.

2. Legal Basis for Data Processing

The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

3. Purpose of Data Processing

The purpose of using technically essential cookies is to facilitate the use of websites for users. Some features of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies. For these features, it is necessary that the browser is recognized even after a page change.

We require cookies for the adoption of language settings and the retention of search keywords. The user data collected through technically necessary cookies will not be used to create user profiles.

These purposes also justify our legitimate interest in the processing of personal data pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

4. Duration of Storage, Possibility to Appeal and Remove

Cookies are stored on the computer of the user and transmitted by it to our site. Therefore, as a user, you 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. Already stored cookies can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. If cookies are disabled for our website, it may not be possible to fully use all the functions of the website.

V. Email Contact

1. Description and Scope of Data Processing

For the user, it is possible to contact the email address provided on the website. In this case, the user’s personal data transmitted by the email will be stored.

In this context, there is no disclosure of the data to third parties. The data is used exclusively for processing the conversation.

2. Legal Basis for Data Processing

The legal basis for the processing of the data transmitted in the course of sending an email is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If the email contact aims to conclude a contract, then Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR provides additional legal basis for the processing.

3. Purpose of the Data Processing

The processing of personal data from an email serves for processing the communication only. This represents the required legitimate interest in the processing of the data.

4. Duration of Storage

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose of its collection. For the personal data from an email, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is ended when it can be concluded from the circumstances that the relevant facts have been finally clarified.

5. Possibility to Appeal and Remove

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 may object to the storage of his personal data at any time. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued. All personal data stored in the course of contacting will be deleted in this event.

VI. Rights of the Person Concerned

If your personal data is processed, you are a person concerned in the meaning of the GDPR and you have the following rights against the person responsible:

If the processing of your personal data has been limited, this data may only be used 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 European Union or a member state.

If the limitation of the processing was limited pursuant to the conditions stated above, you will be informed by the person responsible before the limitation is lifted.

4. Right to Deletion

You may require the person responsible to delete your personal data without delay, and the person responsible is required to delete that information immediately if one of the following is true:

(1) your personal data is no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed;
(2) you revoke your consent, on which the processing pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR is based and there is no other legal basis for processing;

The right to deletion does not exist if the processing is necessary

(1) to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information;
(2) to fulfil a legal obligation required by the laws of the European Union or the laws of the member states to which the person responsible is subject to, or to perform a task that is in the public interest or carried out in the exercise of official authority and that was assigned to the person responsible;
(3) for reasons of public interest in the field of public health pursuant to Art. 9 para. 2 lit. h and i and Art. 9 para. 3 GDPR;

If you have the right of rectification, deletion or limitation of processing against the person responsible, the latter is obliged to notify all recipients, to whom your personal data was disclosed, of this data correction or deletion or limitation of processing, unless this proves to be impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.

You have a right against the person responsible to be informed about these recipients.

6. Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive personal data that you provided to the person responsible in a structured, common and machine-readable format. In addition, you have the right to transfer this data to another person responsible without hindrance by the person responsible to whom the personal data was provided, as long as

(1) the processing is based on a consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR and
(2) the processing is carried out by automated means.

In exercising this right, you also have the right to effect that your personal data is transmitted directly from one person responsible to another person responsible, insofar as this is technically feasible. Freedoms and rights of other persons may hereby not be affected.

The right to data portability does not apply to the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority that was assigned to the person responsible.

7. Right to Object

You have the right, for reasons that arise from your particular situation, to object at any time against the processing of your personal data, which is carried out pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e or f GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

The person responsible will no longer process your personal data unless he can demonstrate compelling legitimate reasons for the processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing is required for the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims.

If the personal data relating to you is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct mail.

If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, your personal data will no longer be processed for these purposes.

8. Right to Revoke the Data Protection Consent Declaration

You have the right to revoke your data protection consent declaration at any time. The revocation of consent does not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.

9. Automated Decision on a Case-by-Case Basis, including Profiling

You have the right not to be subjected to a decision made solely on automated processing – including profiling – that will have a full legal effect on you or significantly affects you in a similar manner. This does not apply if the decision

(1) is required for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the person responsible,
(2) is permitted by the European Union or member state legislation to which the person responsible is subject to, and where such legislation contains appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or
(3) is made with your express consent.

However, these decisions must not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR, unless Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a or g GDPR apply and reasonable measures have been taken to protect your rights and freedoms, as well as your legitimate interests.

With regard to the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the person responsible shall take appropriate measures to uphold the rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, which includes at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person on the part of the person responsible, to express one’s own position and to challenge the decision.

10. Right of Complaint to a Supervisory Authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you shall have the right to complain to a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of your residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement, if you believe that the processing of your personal data violates the GDPR.

The supervisory authority to which the complaint has been submitted shall inform the complainant of the status and results of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Art. 78 of the GDPR.
