Legal basis

We process personal data in compliance with the relevant data protection regulations, in particular the GDPR and the BDSG. Data processing by us only takes place on the basis of legal authorisation. When using this website, we only process personal data with your consent (Section 25 (1) TDDDG or Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR), for the fulfilment of a contract to which you are a party or at your request for the implementation of pre-contractual measures (Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR), for the fulfilment of a legal obligation (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR) or if the processing is necessary for the purposes of our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party, except where such interests are overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms which require protection of personal data (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Duration of storage

Unless otherwise stated in the following information, we only store the data for as long as is necessary to achieve the purpose of processing or to fulfil our contractual or legal obligations. Such statutory retention obligations may arise in particular from commercial or tax law regulations.

Data transfer to third countries

Our data processing may involve the transfer of certain personal data to third countries, i.e. countries in which the GDPR is not applicable law. Such a transfer is permitted if the European Commission has determined that an adequate level of data protection is required in such a third country. If there is no such adequacy decision by the European Commission, personal data will only be transferred to a third country if there are suitable guarantees in accordance with Art. 46 GDPR or if one of the requirements of Art. 49 GDPR is met.

Unless there is an adequacy decision and unless otherwise stated below, we use the EU standard data protection clauses as appropriate safeguards for the transfer of personal data to third countries. You have the option of receiving or viewing a copy of these EU standard data protection clauses. Please contact us at the address given under Contact.

If you consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, the transfer takes place on the legal basis of Art. 49 para. 1 letter a GDPR.

Processing of server log files

When using our website for purely informational purposes, general information that your browser transmits to our server is initially stored automatically (i.e. not via registration). By default, this includes: browser type/version, operating system used, page accessed, the previously visited page (referrer URL), IP address, date and time of the server request and HTTP status code. The processing is carried out to protect our legitimate interests and is based on the legal basis of Art. 6 para. 1 letter f GDPR. This processing serves the technical administration and security of the website. The stored data will be deleted after seven days unless there is a justified suspicion of unlawful use based on concrete evidence and further examination and processing of the information is necessary for this reason. We are not in a position to identify you as a data subject on the basis of the stored information. Art. 15 to 22 GDPR therefore do not apply in accordance with Art. 11 para. 2 GDPR, unless you provide additional information that enables your identification in order to exercise your rights set out in these articles.

Data processing through user data

- you have given your express consent, - the processing is necessary to fulfil a contract with you, - the processing is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation, - the processing is necessary to protect legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in the non-disclosure of your data.
