II. General Information on Data Processing

1. --- Scope of Processing of Personal Data

As a principle, we process the personal data of our users only to the extent necessary for providing a functioning website and making our contents and services available. The personal data of users is always processed only after the user has given his or her consent. An exception applies in such cases where it is impossible to previously obtain such consent for factual reasons and where the processing of data is permitted by statutory regulations. Apart from that, the principles result from following specifications.


2. --- Legal Basis for the Processing of Personal Data

If we have obtained the data subject’s consent to the processing of his or her personal data, the legal basis is art. 6(1)(a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, legal basis is art. 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. This also applies to processing operations which are necessary to take steps prior to entering into a contract. If the processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, legal basis is art. 6(1)(c) of the GDPR. If the processing is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of our company or a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, legal basis for the processing is art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.


3. --- Erasure of Data and Storage Time

Personal data of the data subject is erased or the processing of such personal data is restricted as soon as the purpose for storage is no longer applicable. In addition, data may be stored if this is required by European or national legislature in statutory orders, laws or other regulations under Union law to which the Controller is subject. Also, processing is restricted or data is erased when the mandatory storage period specified by the mentioned standards expires unless longer storage of the data is required for concluding or fulfilling a contract.


III. Transfer to Third Parties

As a basic principle, we won’t transfer your personal data to third parties. Moreover, we ensure by taking appropriate provisions and conducting regular controls that the data we collected cannot be viewed or grabbed from outside by third parties.


IV. Providing the Website and Creating Logfiles

1. --- Description and Scope of Data Processing

Whenever our web page is visited, our website provider automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the data processor from which our website is viewed.

The following data is collected:
(1) Information on the browser type and the version used
(2) The user’s operating system
(3) The user’s Internet service provider
(4) The user’s IP address
(5) Date and time of visiting

This data is also stored in the logfiles of our website provider. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.


2. --- Legal Basis for Data Processing

Legal basis for temporary storage of the data and the logfiles is art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.


3. --- Purpose of Data Processing

The temporary storage of the IP address by the system of our website provider is necessary to ensure that the website is delivered to the computer of the user. For this purpose, the user’s IP address has to be stored for the duration of the session. The data is stored in logfiles to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, the data helps us to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. The data is not analysed for marketing purposes in this process. Our legitimate interest in the processing of data is also based on these purposes as per art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.


4. --- Duration of Storage

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the intended purpose of its collection. When collecting data in order to provide the website, this will be the case when the corresponding session ends. In the case of storing data in logfiles, the data is deleted after seven days at the latest. Storage in addition to this is possible. In such cases, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or distorted so that it is no longer possible to match them to the viewing clients.


5. --- Options of Objection and Elimination

It is absolutely necessary for the operation of the web pages to collect data for providing the website and to store data in logfiles. Therefore, the user does not have the option to object.
