III. General information on data processing

1. Scope of the processing of personal data

We only process our user's personal data if doing so is necessary to provide a functional website as well as our contents and services. Our user's personal data is only regularly progressed after the user's consent has been obtained. An exception applies in those cases in which prior consent cannot actually be obtained for real reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.

2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

If we obtain the data subject’s consent to the processing of his/her personal data, then Art. 6(1)(a) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis. If the processing of personal data required for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, then Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. If the processing of personal data is required to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, then Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR serves as the legal basis. If vital interests of the data subject or other natural person require the processing of personal data, then Article 6(1)(d) GDPR serves as the legal basis. If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, then Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.

3. Data deletion and storage time

The personal data of the person concerned will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Furthermore, data may be stored if this has been scheduled by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the data controller is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract.

IV. Provision of the website and creation of log files

1. Description and scope of data processing

Every time you visit our website, 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 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 reaches our website
(7) websites accessed by the user's system via our website

2. Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the temporary storage of data is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

3. 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. For this purpose, the IP address of the user must remain stored for the duration of the session.
Our legitimate interest in data processing pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR also lies in these purpose.

4. Duration of storage

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary 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 session in question has ended.

5. Possibility of opposition and elimination

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is essential for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility of objection on the part of the user.

V. E-mail contact

1. Description and scope of data processing

You can contact us via the E-mail address provided. In this case, the user's personal data transmitted by E-mail will be stored. In this context, the data will not be passed on to third parties. The data is used exclusively for processing the conversation.

2. Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the processing of data is Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR if the user has given his consent.
The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of sending an E-mail is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. If the E-mail contact aims at the conclusion of a contract, then additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

3. Purpose of data processing

In the event of contact by E-mail, this also constitutes the necessary legitimate interest in the processing of the data.

4. Duration of storage

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. For personal data sent by E-mail, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is ended when it is clear from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified.

5. Possibility of opposition and elimination

The user has the possibility to revoke his consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the user contacts us by E-mail, he can object to the storage of his personal data at any time. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued.
All personal data stored in the course of contacting us will be deleted in this case.

VI. Rights of the data subject

If personal data are processed by you, you are affected within the meaning of the GDPR and you have the following rights vis-à-vis the data controller:

1. Right to information

You may request confirmation from the data controller as to whether personal data concerning you are being processed by us. If such processing is taking place, you may request information from the controller about the following:

(1) the purposes for which the personal data are processed;
(2) the categories of personal data which are processed;
(3) the recipients or the categories of recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been or will be disclosed;
(4) the planned duration of the storage of the personal data concerning you or, if specific information on this is not possible, criteria for determining the storage period;
(5) the existence of a right to rectification or erasure of the personal data concerning you, a right to restriction of processing by the data controller or a right to object to such processing;
(6) the existence of a right to file a complaint with a supervisory authority;
(7) any available information on the origin of the data if the personal data are not collected from the data subject;
(8) the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, pursuant to Art. 22 (1) and (4) GDPR and – at least in these cases – meaningful information about the logic involved and the scope and intended effects of such processing for the data subject.

You have the right to request information about whether personal data concerning you is transferred to a third country or to an international organization. In this context, you may request to be informed about the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR in connection with the transfer.

2. Right to correction

You have a right to correction and/or completion vis-à-vis the data controller if the personal data processed concerning you is incorrect or incomplete. The data controller shall implement the correction without delay.

3. Right to limitation of processing

You may request the restriction of the processing of personal data concerning you under the following conditions:

(1) if you contest the accuracy of the personal data concerning you for a period of time which enables the data controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
(2) the processing is unlawful and you object to the erasure of the personal data and request instead the restriction of the use of the personal data;
(3) the data controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but you need them for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims; or
(4) if you object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR and it is not yet clear whether the legitimate grounds of the controller outweigh your grounds.

If the processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted, such data may – apart from being stored – only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or a Member State.
If the restriction of processing has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.

4. Right to cancellation

a) Duty to delete

You may request the data controller to delete the personal data about you without delay and the data controller will be obliged to delete said data without delay if one of the following reasons applies:

(1) The personal data about you are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
(2) You revoke your consent, on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
(3) You file an objection against the processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate reasons for the processing, or you file an objection against the processing pursuant to
Art. 21(2) GDPR.
(4) The personal data concerning you have been processed unlawfully.
(5) The deletion of personal data relating to you is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the data controller is subject.
(6) The personal data concerning you were collected in relation to information society services offered pursuant to Art. 8(1) GDPR.

b) Information to third parties

If the data controller has made the personal data concerning you public and is obliged to delete it pursuant to Art. 17(1) GDPR, he shall take appropriate measures, including technical measures, taking into account the available technology and the implementation costs, to inform data processors that process the personal data that you, as the data subject, have requested the deletion of all links to this personal data or of copies or replications of this personal data.

c) Exceptions

The right to deletion does not exist if the processing is necessary

(1) to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information;
(2) for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject, or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
(3) for reasons of public interest in the field of public health pursuant to Art. 9(2)(h) and (i) and Art. 9(3) GDPR;
(4) for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes, or statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89(1) of the GDPR, where the right referred to in section a) is likely to preclude or seriously jeopardize the achievement of the purposes of such processing; or
(5) to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

5. Right to information

If you have exercised your right to have the data controller correct, delete or restrict the processing, he/she is obliged to inform all recipients to whom the personal data about you have been disclosed of this correction or deletion of the data or restriction on processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.
The data controller shall have the right to be informed of such recipients.

6. Right to data portability

You have the right to receive the personal data about you that you have provided to the data controller in a structured, common and machine-readable format. In addition, you have the right to pass this data on to another person in charge without obstruction by the person in charge to whom the personal data was provided, provided that

(1) processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR and
(2) processing is carried out by means of automated methods.

In exercising this right, you also have the right to request that the personal data concerning you be transferred directly from one data controller to another data controller, insofar as this is technically feasible. The freedoms and rights of other persons may not be affected by this.
The right to data portability shall not apply to the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority conferred upon the controller.

7. Right of objection

You have the right to object at any time, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you under Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
The data controller no longer processes the personal data concerning you, unless he can prove compelling reasons worthy of protection for the processing, which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
If the personal data concerning you are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of the personal data concerning you for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling, insofar as it is associated with such direct marketing.
If you object to the processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes.
You have the possibility to exercise your right of objection in connection with the use of Information Society services by means of automated procedures using technical specifications, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC.

8. Right to revoke the consent of the data protection declaration

You have the right to revoke your data protection declaration of consent at any time. The revocation of consent shall not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until revocation.

9. Automated decision in individual cases including profiling

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based exclusively on automated processing - including profiling - that has legal effect against you or significantly impairs you in a similar manner. This does not apply if the decision

(1) is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the data controller,
(2) the legislation of the Union or of the Member States to which the data controller is subject is admissible and that legislation contains appropriate measures to safeguard your rights, freedoms and legitimate interests; or
(3) with your express consent.

However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9(1) GDPR, unless Art. 9(2)(a) or (g) GDPR applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests.
In the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the data controller shall take reasonable measures to safeguard your rights, freedoms and legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person by the data controller, to state his own position and to challenge the decision.

10. Right to complain to a supervisory authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right of appeal to a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State where you reside, work or suspect of infringement, if you believe that the processing of personal data concerning you is contrary to the GDPR.
The supervisory authority to which the complaint has been filed shall inform the complainant of the status and results of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Article 78 GDPR.
