General Information on Data Processing
Scope of the processing of personal data
We generally only process personal data of our users if it is necessary for the provision of a functional website as well as our content and services. The processing of personal data of our users regularly takes place only with the user's consent. An exception applies in cases where it is not possible to obtain prior consent for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by legal regulations.
Legal basis for the processing of personal data
To the extent that we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing operations of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a 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 party, Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.
As far as the processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfillment of a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Article 6(1)(c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
In cases where the processing of personal data is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person, Article 6(1)(d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data, in particular where the data subject is a child. Article 6(1)(f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.
Data Deletion and Storage Duration
The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Storage may also take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. The blocking or deletion of data will also take place if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned norms expires, unless there is a necessity for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.
