C. General information on data processing

The operator of this website takes the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.

We collect and use our users' personal data only to the extent necessary to provide a functional and operational website and to provide our content and services.
 

The collection and use of our users' personal data takes place regularly only with the consent of the user. An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for practical reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.

D. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

The legal basis for the processing of personal data is Art. 6 of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter referred to as the “GDPR”).

In detail:
Art. 6 (a) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data with the prior consent of the data subject.

Insofar as personal data is processed that is required for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures, of which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 (I) (b) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis.
 

Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis insofar as the processing of personal data is required for the fulfilment of a legal obligation to which our company is subject. Art. 6 I lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis if vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data.
 

Insofar as the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage no longer applies. Storage beyond this period is possible 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. Blocking or deletion of the data also takes place when 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.
