III. General information on Processing

1. Scope of the processing of personal data

We only collect and use personal data of our website users insofar as this is necessary to provide a functional website as well as our contents and services. The collection and use of personal data of our website users is being done regularly only with the user's consent. An exception applies in those cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for real reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.

2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data         

Whenever we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data.
If the processing of personal data is required for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures.

Insofar as the processing of personal data is required to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Article 6 (1) (c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.       

In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Article 6 (1) (d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.

3. Storage period

The personal data of the data subject will be erased or processing will be restricted as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Furthermore, data may be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. The data will also be erased or restricted in processing 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 fulfilment of a contract.

IV. Provision of the website and creation of log files

1. Description and scope of processing

Each time our website is visited, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the calling computer.

The following data is collected:        

  1. The visited URL
  2. Websites from which the user's system reaches our website (referrer)
  3. IP-address of the user
  4. Information about the browser type and version used
  5. The user's operating system
  6. Date and time of access
  7. The specific sub-websites (path) which were visited

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

2. Legal basis for processing

The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

3. Purpose of the processing

The temporary storage of the IP-address by the system is necessary to enable the website to be delivered to the user's computer. For this the IP-address of the user must remain stored for the duration of the session.   

The data is stored in log files to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, the data serves us to optimise 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.

In these purposes also lies our legitimate interest in the processing according to Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

4. Storage period

The data will be erased as soon as they are no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which they were 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.

If the data is stored in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. Further storage is possible. In this case, the IP-addresses of the users are erased or alienated, so that an assignment of the calling client is no longer possible.

5. Objection and erasure

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, the user has no possibility of objection.

You have the right to withdraw your declaration of consent any time. The withdrawal of your consent shall not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until withdrawal.

9. Automated decision in individual cases including profiling

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based exclusively on automated processing – including profiling – that has legal effect against you or significantly impairs you in a similar manner. This does not apply if the decision

  1. is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between you and a data controller;
  2. is authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests; or
  3. is based on your explicit consent.

However, these decisions shall not be based on special categories of personal data referred to in Article 9 (1) GDPR, unless point (a) or (g) of Article 9(2) GDPR applies and suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests are in place.

In the cases referred to in points (1) and (3), the data controller shall implement suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision.

10. Right to complain to the supervisory authorities

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint to a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your place of residence, employment or suspected infringement, if you believe that the processing of personal data concerning you is contrary to the GDPR.

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