II. General information regarding data processing
- Scope of the processing of personal data
As a matter of principle, we only process personal data of our users insofar as this is necessary to provide a functional website as well as our content and services. Processing personal data of our users is usually done only after consent has been granted by the respective user. An exception applies in cases where prior obtaining of a consent is not possible for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by statutory provisions
- Legal basis for the processing of personal data
Insofar as we obtain a consent from the person affected for the processing of personal data, Article 6 paragraph 1 letter a of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.
When processing personal data which is necessary in order to perform a contract to which the person affected is a contracting party, Art. 6 paragraph 1 letter b of the GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies for processing which is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.
Insofar as processing personal data is necessary for the fulfilment of a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 paragraph 1 letter c of the GDPR serves as the legal basis.
In the event that crucial interests of the person affected or of another natural person make it necessary to process personal data, Art. 6 paragraph 1 letter d of the GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If the processing is necessary to safeguard a justified interest of our company or of a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the person affected do not outweigh that justified interest, then Art. 6 paragraph 1 letter f of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.
- Data deletion and storage duration
The personal data of the person affected is deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage ceases to apply. Storage can go beyond this if this is provided for by the European or national legislator in Union-law ordinances, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. Blocking or deleting the data is also done if a storage period prescribed by the named norms expires, unless there is a necessity for further storage of the data for entry into or performance of a contract.

In the case of storage of the data in log files, this is the situation after a maximum of seven days. Storage going beyond this is possible. In such case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or transformed so that it is no longer possible to allocate them to the accessing clients.
- Objection and removal option
Collecting the data in order to make the website available and storing the data in log files are absolutely essential for the operation of the website. As a consequence, it is not possible for the user to object thereto.

If the processing of the personal data pertaining to you is restricted, this data may – apart from its storage – only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the right of another natural person or legal entity or for reasons of an important public interest of the Union or a member state.
If the processing has been restricted pursuant to the abovementioned prerequisites, you will be informed by us before the restriction is lifted.

In exercise of this right, you also have the right to procure that the personal data pertaining to you is transmitted directly by one controller to another controller insofar as this is technically feasible. No freedoms or rights of other parties may be detrimentally affected thereby.
The right to data transferability does not apply for processing of personal data which is necessary in order to carry out a task which is in the public interest or in exercise of official authority which has been transferred to the controller.
- Objection right
You have the right for reasons which arise from your special situation to file an objection at any time to the processing of the personal data pertaining to you which is done on the basis of Article 6 paragraph 1 letters e or f of the GDPR.
We then no longer process the personal data pertaining to you, unless we can prove mandatory protection-worthy reasons for the processing which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves in the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.
You have the option of exercising your objection right in connection with the usage of services by the information company – irrespective of Directive 2002/58/EC – by means of automated processes where technical specifications are used.
- Right to revocation of the data protection-law consent declaration
You have the right to revoke your data protection-law consent declaration at any time. The revocation does not affect the lawfulness of the processing which took place on the basis of the consent until the revocation.

- Right to complain to a supervisory authority
Irrespective of contrary administrative-law or judicial legal remedies, you are entitled to the right to complain to a supervisory authority, particularly in the member state of your place of residence, your workplace or the location of the alleged breach, if you are of the view that the processing of the personal data pertaining to you breaches the GDPR.
