General Information on Data Processing

​

Scope of the Processing of Personal Data

 

In the following we inform you about the collection of personal data when using our website. Personal data are all data that can be related to you personally, such as your name, address, email address or user behaviour. You can find these and other definitions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) here.

 

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

 

 

Legal Basis for the Processing of Personal Data

 

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. (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 required to fulfil a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. (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 necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. (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, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. (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, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. (f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

 

 

Data Deletion and Storage Duration

 

The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Storage can also take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other provisions to which the person responsible is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the standards mentioned expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract.

 

 

Transfer of Data

 

A transfer of data to third parties takes place only within the framework of the legal requirements, for example on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. (b) GDPR, if this is necessary for contractual purposes or on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. (f) GDPR because of legitimate interests.

 

If we use external service providers to provide our services, they have been carefully selected and commissioned by us. These are bound by our instructions and are checked regularly. We take suitable legal precautions as well as appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect personal data.

 

A transfer of data to third countries, in which the GDPR is not a directly applicable law, only takes place if there is an adequate level of data protection, the consent of the user or other legal permission.

 

 

SSL Encryption

 

Our website uses SSL encryption for better protection of transmitted content. You can recognize this type of encryption by the representation of “https: //” in the address line. If the website is unencrypted, “http: //” will be displayed there. Due to the SSL encryption, the data you transmit to our website cannot be read by unauthorized third parties.

 

 

Provision of the Website and Creation of Log Files

 

1. Description and scope of data processing

When using the website for information purposes only, e. g. if you do not provide us with any other information, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the calling computer. The following data is collected:

2. 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) GDPR.

 

3. Purpose of Data 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. To do this, the user's IP address must be stored for the duration of the session. The storage in log files takes place in order to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, we use the data 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. Our legitimate interest in data processing according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. (f) GDPR is in these purposes.

 

4. Duration of Storage

If the data is stored in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. Storage beyond this is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or alienated so that it is no longer possible to assign the accessing client.

 

5. Opposition and Removal Option

The collection of the data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is essential for the operation of the website. There is consequently no possibility of objection on the part of the user.

Use of Google Analytics

 

1. Description and Scope of Data Processing

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service from Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, text files that are stored on your computer and that enable your use of the website to be analysed. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. If IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

 

Only in exceptional cases the full IP address will be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide the website operator with other services relating to website and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

 

This website uses Google Analytics with the extension “anonymizeIP”. As a result, IP addresses are further processed in abbreviated form, so that direct personal reference can be excluded. If the data collected about you can be linked to a person, this will be excluded immediately and the personal data will be deleted immediately.

  2. the processing is carried out using automated procedures.

 

In exercising this right, you also have the right to have the personal data relating to you transmitted directly from one person in charge to another person in charge, insofar as this is technically feasible.

Right to revoke the Declaration of Consent under Data Protection Law

 

You have the right to withdraw your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. Withdrawing your consent does not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of your consent up to the point of withdrawal.

 

 

 

Automated Decision in individual Cases including Profiling

 

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing – including profiling – which has legal effects on you or which significantly affects you in a similar manner. This does not apply when making the decision

 

  1. is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the person responsible,

  2. is permissible on the basis of legal provisions of the EU or of the Member States to which the person responsible is subject and these legal provisions contain appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests or

However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data in accordance with Art. 9 Para. 1 GDPR, unless Art. 9 Para. 2 lit. (a) or (g) apply and appropriate measures have been taken to protect your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests.

 

With regard to the cases mentioned in 1. and 3., the person responsible shall take appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain intervention by a person on the part of the person responsible, to express their own point of view and heard on contesting the decision.

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 place of residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement, if you are of the opinion that the processing of your personal data violates the GDPR. The supervisory authority to which the complaint was submitted informs the complainant about the status and the results of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy in accordance with Art. 78 GDPR.
