We regularly only collect and process our users’ personal data if we have their consent to do so. This does not apply in cases in which it is not possible to obtain the user’s consent for objective reasons prior to the data being processed and processing of the data is permitted by law.

2) Legal basis for processing personal data

a) Where we request data subjects’ consent to process personal data, we do so on the basis of Article 6 (1) a of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
b) The legal basis for processing personal data which is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party is Article 6 (1) b of the GDPR. This also applies to any processing required for the execution of any precontractual activities.
c) If processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the data controller is subject, the legal basis for this is Article 6 (1) c of the GDPR.
d) If processing of personal data is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person, the legal basis for this is Article 6 (1) d of the GDPR.

3) Deletion of data and duration of storage

The data subject’s personal data will be deleted or blocked upon the purpose for which it is stored ceasing to apply. Personal data may be stored beyond this period if this is provided for by European or national legislation, in the regulations of the European Union or any other legal stipulations to which the data controller is subject. Data is also blocked or deleted upon the expiry of the archiving period stipulated by any of the statutory provisions referred to above unless continued storage of the data is necessary to enter into or perform a contract.

§ 3 Provision of the website and creation of log files

Whenever you visit our website, our system automatically collects data and information on your computer system.

Specifically, the following data is collected:

  • Language and version of the browser software
  • User’s operating system
  • Volume of data transferred
  • User’s IP address
  • Date and time of the visit
  • Time zone difference to Greenwich Mean Time (GTM)
  • Content of the request (specific page)

The data is also stored in the logfiles created by our system. This does not include the IP address of the user or any other data which can be traced back to the user. This data is not stored together with the user’s other personal data. The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data and the log files is Article 6 (1) f of the GDPR.

It is necessary for the system to temporarily store the IP address to ensure that the content of the website can be transmitted to the user’s device. This requires the user’s IP address to be stored for the duration of the session.

This data is stored in the log files to ensure that the website functions properly. In addition, we use this data to optimize our website and to protect our information technology systems. This data is not evaluated for marketing purposes. These purposes arise from our legitimate interests in processing the data as defined in Article 6 (1) f of the GDPR.

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected. When the data is collected for the purpose of providing the website, this is the case when the session in question is over.

When the data is stored in log files, this is the case no later than seven days later. The data may be stored beyond this period. In this case, the user’s IP address will be deleted or anonymized to prevent it from being traced back to the visiting client.
