3. General information relating to data processing
a. Scope of the processing of personal data

We shall principally only process your personal data insofar as this is necessary in order to carry out our services. As a rule, the processing of your personal data is only carried out on the basis of your consent. One exception shall apply in those cases, in which obtaining a consent in advance is not possible for actual reasons or the processing of your personal data is permitted by a statutory permit.

b. Legal bases for the processing of personal data

Insofar as we obtain a consent from you for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a EU GDPR shall serve us as a legal basis.
With the processing of personal data, which is necessary in order to fulfil a contract between you and us, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b EU GDPR shall serve us as a legal basis. This shall also apply to processing activities, which are necessary in order to carry out pre-contractual measures.
Insofar as a processing of personal data is necessary in order to fulfil a legal obligation, which we have to comply with, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c EU GDPR shall serve us as a legal basis.
In the event that vital interests of you or another natural person render a processing of personal data necessary, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. d EU GDPR shall serve us as a legal basis.
If the processing is necessary in order to safeguard a legitimate interest of us or of a third party and if your interests, fundamental rights and freedoms do not outweigh the first named interest, then Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f EU GDPR shall serve us as a legal basis for the processing.

c. Data erasure and storage duration

Your personal data will be erased or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage ceases to apply. A storage can additionally be carried out if this was envisaged by the European or national legislator in regulations under Union law, laws or other regulations, which we have to comply with. A blocking or erasure of the data will also be carried out if a storage deadline stipulated by the stated standards expires, unless a further storage of the data is necessary for the conclusion of a contract or a fulfilment of a contract.

4. Provision of the website and creation of log files
a. Legal basis for the data processing

The legal basis for the processing of your personal data within the scope of the provision of the website and the creation of log files is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f EU GDPR.

b. Purpose of the data processing

The temporary storage of your personal data by us is necessary in order to enable the website to be delivered to your computer. Your personal data must be stored for the duration of the session for this purpose. 
The storage of your personal data in log files is carried out in order to ensure the functionality of the website. The log files contain the following data:

  • Referrer (previously visited website)
  • Requested website or file
  • Browser type and browser version
  • Used operating system
  • Used device type
  • Time of the access

These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in the data processing according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f EU GDPR.

c. Duration of the storage

Your personal data will be erased as soon as they are no longer required in order to achieve the purpose of their collection. In the event of the entry of your personal data in order to provide the website this is the case as soon as the respective session is ended. 
In the event of the storage of your personal data in log files these will be erased after seven days at the latest. A storage beyond this is possible. In this case your personal data will be erased or alienated so that an allocation of the calling client is no longer possible.

d. Possibility for objection and remedy

The entry of your personal data for the provision of the website and the storage of your personal data in log files is absolutely essential for the operation of the website. There is consequently no possibility for objection for you.

h. Right to revocation of the declaration of consent under data protection law

You have the right to revoke your declaration of consent under data protection law at all times. The lawfulness of the processing, which is carried out owing to the consent until the revocation, will not be affected by the revocation of the consent.
