2. General information on data processing

2.1 Scope to which personal data is processed

We only collect and utilise the personal data of our users insofar as this is necessary for the provision of an operational website and of our content and services. Collection and utilization of our users' personal data is only undertaken periodically with the user's consent. An exception applies in those cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for legal or factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.

2.2 Legal basis for processing personal data

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. of the EU General Data Protection Regulation as a legal basis for processing personal data.

For the processing of personal data necessary for performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b of the GDPR is the legal basis. This also applies to processing necessary for pre-contractual activities.

Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c of the GDPR is the legal basis.

In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Article 6 para. 1 lit. d of the GDPR is the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of our company or a third party, insofar as the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the data subject do not prevail, Article 6 para. 1 lit. f of the GDPR is the legal basis for processing.

2.3 Data deletion and storage duration

The data subject’s personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to exist. Furthermore, data may then be stored if this has been provided by the European or national legislation in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the data controller is subject. We will block or delete data once the prescribed retention period has expired, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract.

3. Provision of the website and creation of log files

3.1 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 accessing computer.

The following data is collected:

1. Information regarding the used browser type and version
2. The user’s operating system
3. The IP address of the user
4. date and time of access
5. Websites from which the user's system accesses our website
6. Websites accessed by the user's system via our website

The data is also stored in our system log files, whereby the IP address is shortened immediately after it is has been recorded, with the IPv4 address on the first two bytes and an IPv6 address on the first 32 bits. Personal profiles cannot be deduced from these reduced IP addresses. This data is not stored together with any other personal data we may have collected about you.

3.2 Legal basis for data processing:

The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and the log files is Article 6 para. 1 lit. f) of the GDPR.

3.3 Purpose of data processing

Temporary storage of IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user's computer. To this end, the IP address of the user must remain stored for the duration of the session.

The log files are stored in order to ensure the functionality of the website. Furthermore, the data are used to optimise the website and to ensure the safety of our information technology systems. The data are not evaluated for marketing purposes in this context.

These purposes also include our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) of the GDPR.

3.4 Storage duration

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. When collecting the data for providing the website with it, this is the case when the respective session is completed.

When data are stored in log files, this happens after seven days at the latest. Further storage is possible. In this case, users’ IP addresses are shortened, so that they can no longer be assigned to the requesting computer.

3.5 Options for objecting to the collection of your data and requesting its deletion

Collection of data for provision of the website and storage of data in log files is absolutely necessary for operation of the website. Consequently, there is no option to object on the part of the user.

4. Use of cookies

The website does not use any cookies that require approval

You also have the right to be informed whether your personal data have been transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. In this respect, you can request the appropriate guarantees in accordance with Article 46 GDPR in connection with the transfer.

This right of information may be limited to the extent that it is likely to render impossible or seriously affect the realisation of the research or statistical purposes and the restriction is necessary for the performance of the research or statistical purposes.

You have a right to request the rectification and/or completion of your personal data by the controller if the personal data being processed is incorrect or incomplete. The controller must make the rectification without delay.

Your right to rectification may be limited to the extent that it is likely to render impossible or seriously affect the realisation of the research or statistical purposes and the restriction is necessary for the performance of the research or statistical purposes.

c. Exceptions

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

1. to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information;
2. to fulfil a legal obligation requiring the data to be processed under the law of the Union or the Member States to which the data controller is subject, or to perform a task in the public interest, or in the exercise of official authority delegated to the controller;
3. for reasons of public interest in the field of public health, pursuant to Article 9 para. 2 lit. h and i and Article 9 para. 3 of the GDPR;
4. for archival purposes of public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89 para 1 of the GDPR, to the extent that the law referred to in section (a) is likely to render impossible or seriously prejudice the achievement of the objectives of that processing, or

5.5 Right to information

If you have asserted your right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing with the data controller, the latter is obliged to communicate such rectification or erasure of data or restriction of processing carried out to each recipient to whom your personal data have been disclosed, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.

With regard to the controller, you have a right to be informed about these recipients.

5.6 Right to data portability

You have the right to receive the personal data you made available to the data controller in a structured, common and machine readable format. In addition, you have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, insofar as

1. the processing is based on a consent pursuant to Article 6 para 1 lit. a of the GDPR or Article 9 para 2 lit. a of the GDPR, or on a contract pursuant to Article 6 para. 1 lit. b of the GDPR and
2. the processing is performed by automated means.

Furthermore, when exercising this right, you have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. This should not affect the rights and freedoms of other persons.

The right to data portability does not apply to processing necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority delegated to the data controller.

5.7 Right of objection

You have the right at any time, for reasons that arise from your particular situation, to prevent the processing of your personal data, which, pursuant to Article 6 para. 1 lit. e or f of the GDPR takes place, this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

The controller shall no longer process your personal data unless the controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

Where your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.

Where you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, your personal data shall no longer be processed for such purposes.

Notwithstanding the Directive 2002/58/EC, you also have the possibility, in connection with the use of information society services, to exercise your right of opposition by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.

You also have the right to object to the processing of your personal data for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes in accordance with Article 89 para 1 of the GDPR.

Your right of objection may be limited to the extent that it is likely to render impossible or seriously affect the realisation of the research or statistical purposes and the restriction is necessary for the performance of the research or statistical purposes.

5.8 Right to revoke consent under data protection law

You have the right to revoke your consent to data processing at any time. Revoking consent does not affect the legality of any processing that took place beforehand.

5.9 Automated decision-making in individual cases, including profiling

You have the right not to be subjected to a decision based solely on automated processing - including profiling - that will have a legal effect on you or similarly impact upon you in a considerable manner. This does not apply if the decision

1. is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the controller,
2. is permitted by Union or Member State legislation to which the data controller is subject, and where such legislation contains appropriate measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or
3. is made with your express consent.

However, these decisions must not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Article 9 para 1 of the GDPR, unless Article 9 para. 2 lit. a or g applies and reasonable measures have been taken to protect the rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests.

In the cases referred to in points (1) and (3), the controller shall implement suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express your point of view and to contest the decision.

5.10 Right to lodge a complaint with 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 where the infringement is suspected, if you believe that the processing of personal data that concerns you is in contravention of GDPR.

The supervisory authority with which the appeal has been filed shall inform the appellant of the status and results of the appeal, including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Article 78 GDPR.
