II. General Data Processing Information
- Extent to which personal data is processed
We only ever collect and use personal data of our users to the extent to which this is necessary to provide a fully functional website and our contents and services. The regular collection and use of personal data of our users is only ever made with the user's consent. One exception to this rule applies in cases in which, for factual reasons, it is not possible to obtain the user's prior consent or in which, according to applicable data protection legislation, the processing of this data is permitted on other legal grounds.
- Legal basis for the processing of personal data
Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject to process his or her personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 point a of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the analogous provisions pursuant to applicable data protection legislation shall serve as the legal basis for the processing of personal data.
Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 point b of the GDPR and the analogous provisions pursuant to applicable data protection legislation shall serve as the legal basis for the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party. This shall also apply to processing necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.
Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 point c of the GDPR and the analogous provisions pursuant to applicable data protection legislation shall serve as the legal basis.
Should it be necessary to process personal data in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person, Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 point d of the GDPR and the analogous provisions pursuant to applicable data protection legislation shall serve as the legal basis.
Should processing be necessary to protect the legitimate interests of our company or a third party and such interests are not overridden by the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, then Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 point f of the GDPR and the analogous provisions pursuant to applicable data protection legislation shall serve as the legal basis for processing.
- Data erasure and storage period
The personal data of the data subject will be deleted as soon as the purpose for which it has been saved ceases to apply. Further, data may also be stored if provided for by European or national legislators in Union directives, laws or other regulations, to which the data controller is subject. The data will also be deleted at such time as the storage period prescribed by the designated standards expires, unless it is necessary for the data to be stored for a further period for the conclusion or performance of a contract.
- Requirement to provide personal data
The data subject's provision of personal data is often necessary for us to fulfill our contractual obligations. Failure to provide such data may cause us not to be able to fulfil our contractual obligations.
III. Provision of the Website and Creation of Log Files
- Description and extent of data processing
Every time our website is accessed, our system automatically acquires data and information from the computer system of the calling computer.
The following data is collected:
(1) The user's IP address
(2) Date and time of access
(3) Website visited
(4) Quantity of data sent in bytes
(5) Source/link from which you accessed the website
(6) Browser used
(7) Operating system used
The data is also stored in the log files of our system. This data is not stored with other personal data of the user.
- Legal basis for data processing
Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 point f of the GDPR and the analogous provisions pursuant to applicable data protection legislation are the legal basis for the temporary storage of the data and the log files.
- Purpose of data processing
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary in order to be able to deliver the website to the user's computer. To this end, the user’s IP address must be stored for the duration of the session. The data that has been acquired is used for statistical analyses and to improve the website. Your personal data (IP address) is first anonymised.
Data is stored in log files to ensure that the website functions properly. In addition, the data serves to optimise the website and to guarantee the security of our IT systems. No data evaluation is carried out for marketing purposes in this context.
These purposes are also in our legitimate interests in data processing under Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 point f of the GDPR and the analogous provisions pursuant to applicable data protection legislation.
- Storage duration
Data is deleted as soon as it is no longer needed for the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of data being collected in order to make the website available, this is the case when the session is terminated.
In the case of data stored in log files, this is the case after a maximum of seven days. Storage beyond this point in time is possible. In this case, the user's IP address will be deleted or distorted, so that it can no longer be attributed to the accessing client.
- Right to object and right of elimination
Data acquisition is essential for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is essential for operating the website. The user therefore has no right to object.

Additional information on the processing of data can be found in the following social media data privacy statement.
