GENERAL INFORMATION ON DATA PROCESSING
A) SCOPE OF THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA
As a matter of principle, we process personal data of our users only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. The processing of personal data of our users is regularly carried out only with the consent of the user. An exception applies in those cases where it is not possible to obtain prior consent for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by legal regulations.
B) LEGAL BASIS FOR THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA
Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing operations involving personal data, Art. 6 (1) (a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis. When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 (1) lit. b DSGVO serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures. Insofar as processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 (1) lit. c DSGVO serves as the legal basis. In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person make processing of personal data necessary, Art. 6 (1) lit. d DSGVO serves as the legal basis. If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override the former interest, Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO serves as the legal basis for the processing.
C) DATA DELETION AND STORAGE PERIOD
We adhere to the principles of data avoidance and data economy. The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Storage may take place beyond this if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other regulations to which the responsible party is subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need to continue storing the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract.
PROVISION OF THE WEBSITE AND CREATION OF LOG FILES
A) DESCRIPTION AND SCOPE OF DATA PROCESSING
Each time our website is called up, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the calling computer.
The following data is collected in this process:
- Information about the browser type and the version used.
- The operating system of the user
- The user’s IP address, shortened by two octets
- Date and time of access
- URL accessed and the URL of the linking page
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.
B) 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 DSGVO.
C) PURPOSE OF DATA PROCESSING
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user’s computer. For this purpose, the user’s IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session.
The storage in log files is done 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. The data is not passed on or used in any other way.
These purposes are also our legitimate interest in data processing according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.
D) DURATION OF STORAGE
In the case of storage of data in log files, this is the case after fourteen days at the latest. Storage beyond this period is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or alienated, so that an assignment of the calling client is no longer possible.
E) POSSIBILITY OF OBJECTION AND ELIMINATION
The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility of objection on the part of the user.
