Scope of the processing of personal data
In principle, we only process the personal data of my users insofar as this is necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services.


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


Legal basis for the processing of personal data
Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Article 6 (1) (a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.


When processing personal data that is required to fulfill a contract to which the data subject is a party, Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which our website is subject, Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter c GDPR serves as the legal basis.


In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter d GDPR serves as the legal basis.


If processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest on my part or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the person concerned do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 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 no longer applies. Storage can 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 person responsible is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the standards mentioned expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data in order to conclude or fulfill a contract.


Description and scope of data processing
Every time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the calling computer.

The following data is collected:

  1. Information about the browser type and the version used
  2. The user's operating system
  3. The user's internet service provider
  4. The user's IP address
  5. Date and time of access
  6. Websites from which the user's system reached our website
  7. Websites that are accessed by the user's system via our website


The data is also stored in the log files of our system. This does not affect the user's IP addresses or other data that enable the data to be assigned to a user. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.


Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data is Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f GDPR.


Purpose of data processing
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the website to be delivered to the user's computer. To do this, the user's IP address must be saved for the duration of the session.


The storage in log files takes place 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.

My legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f GDPR lies in these purposes.


Duration of storage
The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended.


Right to complain to a supervisory authority
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of your place of residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged violation, if you are of the opinion that the processing of your personal data is against violates the GDPR.


The supervisory authority to which the complaint was submitted informs the complainant of the status and the results of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy according to Art. 78 GDPR.
