General Information on Data Processing

Scope of Processing Personal Data
We generally collect and use personal data of our users only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. The collection and use of our users’ personal data regularly takes place only with the user’s consent. An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by legal provisions.

Legal Basis for the Processing of Personal Data
Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing operations of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (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 a party, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures.

Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. 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 para. 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override those interests, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

Data Deletion and Storage Period
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. Data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a necessity for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.

Provision of the Website and Creation of Log Files

Description and Scope of Data Processing
Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the accessing computer.

The following data is collected:
Information about the browser type and the version used
The user’s operating system
The user’s internet service provider
The user’s IP address
Date and time of access
Websites from which the user’s system accesses our website
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 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 data and log files is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. 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. For this purpose, the user’s IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session.

Storage in log files is done to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, the data serves 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.

These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in data processing according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Duration of Storage
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose of its collection. In the case of data collection for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended.

In the case of data storage in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. Further storage is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or anonymized so that an assignment of the calling client is no longer possible.

Right to Object and Erasure
The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility for the user to object.

Web Analysis by Matomo

Scope of Processing Personal Data
We use the open-source software tool Matomo on our website to analyze the user behavior of our visitors. Tracking takes place without setting a cookie. When individual pages of our website are accessed, the following data is stored:
(1) Two bytes of the IP address of the user’s accessing system
(2) The accessed website
(3) The website from which the user reached the accessed website (referrer)
(4) The subpages that are accessed from the accessed website
(5) The time spent on the website
(6) The frequency of accessing the website

The software runs exclusively on our website’s servers. Personal data of users is only stored there. Data is not passed on to third parties.

The software is set up so that IP addresses are not stored in full, but 2 bytes of the IP address are masked (e.g.: 192.168.xxx.xxx). In this way, it is no longer possible to assign the shortened IP address to the accessing computer.

You have the option to prevent your actions here from being analyzed and linked. This will protect your privacy, but will also prevent the owner from learning from your actions and improving usability for you and other users.

Legal Basis for the Processing of Personal Data
The legal basis for the processing of users’ personal data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Purpose of Data Processing
The processing of users’ personal data enables us to analyze their surfing behavior. By evaluating the data obtained, we are able to compile information about the use of the individual components of our website. This helps us to continuously improve our website and its user-friendliness. These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in processing the data according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The anonymization of the IP address sufficiently takes into account the users’ interest in the protection of their personal data.

Duration of Storage
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for our recording purposes. In our case, this is after 365 days.

Contact Form and Email Contact

Description and Scope of Data Processing
A contact form is available on our website, which can be used for electronic contact. If a user takes advantage of this option, the data entered in the input mask will be transmitted to us and stored.

At the time the message is sent, the following data is also stored:
The user’s IP address
Date and time
Entered name
Entered email address

For the processing of the data, your consent will be obtained during the submission process and reference will be made to this privacy policy. Alternatively, contact can be made via the provided email address. In this case, the personal data of the user transmitted with the email will be stored.

In this context, no data is passed on to third parties. The data is used exclusively for processing the conversation.

Legal Basis for Data Processing
The legal basis for data processing, if the user has given consent, is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of sending an email is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If the email contact aims at the conclusion of a contract, an additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

Purpose of Data Processing
The processing of personal data from the input mask serves us solely to process the contact. In the case of contact by email, this also constitutes the necessary legitimate interest in processing the data.

The other personal data processed during the submission process serve to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.

Duration of Storage
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose of its collection. For the personal data from the contact form’s input mask and those sent by email, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is ended when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter concerned has been conclusively clarified.

The additional personal data collected during the submission process will be deleted after a period of seven days at the latest.

Right to Object and Erasure
The user has the right to withdraw their consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the user contacts us by email, they can object to the storage of their 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.

If you subscribe to our newsletter, we will use the data required for this purpose or separately communicated by you to regularly send you our newsletter by email. The only mandatory information for sending the newsletter is your email address.

The registration for our newsletter takes place via a so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that after your registration, we will send you an email asking you to confirm that you wish to receive the newsletter. If you do not confirm your registration, your information will be automatically deleted.

The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (consent).

You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time via the link provided in the newsletter or by sending us a corresponding message.

Rights of the Data Subject

The following list includes all rights of data subjects under the GDPR. Rights that are not relevant for the own website do not need to be mentioned. In this respect, the list can be shortened. If your personal data is processed, you are a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR and you have the following rights vis-à-vis the controller:

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

Right to Rectification
You have a right to rectification and/or completion vis-à-vis the controller if the processed personal data concerning you is inaccurate or incomplete. The controller must carry out the rectification without undue delay.

Right to Restriction of Processing
Under the following conditions, you can request the restriction of the processing of personal data concerning you:

(2) the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and request instead the restriction of their use;
(3) the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but you require them for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, or
(4) if you have objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override yours.

Where processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted, such data shall, with the exception of storage, 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 of a Member State.

If the restriction of processing has been restricted according to the above conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.

Right to Erasure

Obligation to Erase
You can request from the controller that personal data concerning you be erased without undue delay, and the controller is obliged to erase this data without undue delay if one of the following reasons applies:
(1) The personal data concerning you are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
(2) You withdraw your consent on which the processing is based according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR, and there is no other legal ground for the processing.
(3) You object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 para. 2 GDPR.
(4) The personal data concerning you have been unlawfully processed.
(5) The erasure of the personal data concerning you is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.

Information to Third Parties
If the controller has made the personal data concerning you public and is obliged pursuant to Art. 17 para. 1 GDPR to erase them, the controller, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform controllers who are processing the personal data that you as the data subject have requested the erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data.

Exceptions
The right to erasure does not apply to the extent that processing is necessary
(1) for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;
(2) for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing by 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 area of public health in accordance with Art. 9 para. 2 lit. h and i as well as Art. 9 para. 3 GDPR;
(4) for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes in accordance with Art. 89 para. 1 GDPR in so far as the right referred to in section a) is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing, or
(5) for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

Right to Notification

If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against the controller, the controller is obliged to communicate this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing to all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.

You have the right to be informed by the controller about these recipients.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to the controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data has been provided, provided that
(1) the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR and
(2) the processing is carried out by automated means.
In exercising this right, you also have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. This shall not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

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

Right to Object

You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you which is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e or f GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

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

Where personal data concerning you are processed for direct marketing purposes, you shall 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.

If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes.

You have the possibility, in the context of the use of information society services – notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC – to exercise your right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

Right to Withdraw Data Protection Consent Declaration

You have the right to withdraw your data protection consent declaration at any time. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

Automated Individual Decision-Making, Including Profiling

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing – including profiling – which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This shall not apply if the decision
(1) is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between you and the controller,
(2) is authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or
(3) is based on your explicit consent.

However, these decisions shall not be based on special categories of personal data referred to in Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR, unless Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a or g GDPR applies and suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests have been put in place.

With regard to the cases referred to in (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 his or her point of view and to contest the decision.

Right to Lodge a Complaint with 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 habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes the GDPR.

The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant on the progress and the outcome of the complaint including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Art. 78 GDPR.
