  2. General information on data processing
    1. Scope of the processing of personal dataIn principle, we collect and use the personal data of our users only insofar as this is required to provide a functioning website as well as our content and services. The collection and use of the personal data of users takes place regularly only with the consent of the user. An exception to this applies in such cases where the obtaining of such consent is not possible for practical reasons and the processing of data is permitted by statutory regulations.
    2. Legal basis for the processing of personal dataIf we ask a data subject for consent to use his or her personal data for processing operations, point (a) of Article 6(1) EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis. When it is required that we process personal data to perform a contract to which the data subject is a party, point (b) of Article 6(1) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are required to carry out pre-contractual measures. If we are required to process personal data to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, point (c) of Article 6(1) 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, point (d) of Article 6(1) GDPR serves as the legal basis. If processing is required to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third-party and the interests, constitutional rights and fundamental freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-named interest, point (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.
    3. Erasure of data and duration of storageThe personal data of the data subject is erased or blocked as soon there is no longer a purpose for storage. Storage can take place beyond this if it is provided for by Union law directives, laws or other regulations by European or national legislators to which the controller is subject. Data is also blocked or erased if a retention period prescribed by the standards mentioned expires, unless there exists a requirement for further storage of the data for the conclusion of a contract or the performance of a contract.
    4. Protection of transfer by means of SSL/TLS encryptionThis website uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transfer of confidential content. The encrypted connection is guaranteed by the hypertext transfer protocol HTTPS (“https://”). In this instance, data which is transmitted to us by a user cannot be read by third parties.
  3. Provision of website and generation of log files
    1. Description and scope of the data processing

      3. Purpose of the data processingThe temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the website to be delivered to the user’s computer. The user’s IP address must be stored for the duration of the session. The storage in log files is carried out to ensure the functioning of the website. In addition, the data serves to optimise the website and to ensure the security of our IT systems. An analysis of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context. These purposes include our legitimate interest in the data processing pursuant to point (f) Article 6(1) GDPR.
      4. Duration of storageThe data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose of its collection. This happens when the particular session has ended, in the event of data being captured for the provision of the website. When data is stored in log files, it is deleted after seven days at the latest. It is possible for data to be stored beyond this point. In this instance, the IP addresses of users are erased or anonymized, so that an association with the accessing client is no longer possible.
      5. Objection and removal optionThe capture of data to provide the website and the storage of data in files is an absolute requirement needed for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no opt-out option for the user.

If the restriction of the processing is carried out in accordance with the above-mentioned prerequisites, you are notified by the data controller before the restriction takes place.
    4. Right to erasure
      1. Erasure obligationYou can request that the data controller erases personal data that concerns you without undue delay, and the data controller is obliged to erase this data without undue delay, provided one of the following reasons applies:

         (1) The personal data that concerns you is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
        (2) You withdraw consent on which the processing is based according to point (a) of Article 6(1), or point (a) of Article 9(2), GDPR and where there is no other legal basis for the processing.

      3. ExceptionsThe right to erasure does not exist, provided the processing is required

         (1) for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;
        (2) for compliance with a legal obligation, which requires the processing in accordance with the law of the Union or member states 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 pursuant to point (h) of Article 9(2) and Article 9(3) GDPR;
        (4) for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) GDPR, provided that the right mentioned under section a) probably makes the realisation of the goals of this processing impossible or seriously impairs it, or
        (5) for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

Right to notificationIf you have asserted your right to obtain rectification, erasure or restriction of your personal data from the data controller, the controller is obliged to notify all the recipients to whom the personal data affected was disclosed of this rectification or erasure of the data or the restriction of the processing, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort. You have the right to request that the controller notifies you of these recipients.
    6. Right to data portabilityYou have the right to receive the personal data that concerns you, which you have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used 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 has been provided, provided

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

       In exercising this right, you have the further right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. The rights and freedoms of others must not be adversely affected by this. The right to data portability does not apply to the 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.
    7. Right to object7. You have the right for reasons resulting from your special situation to object to the processing of personal data that concerns you, pursuant to point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The data controller shall no longer process the personal data that concerns you unless it can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of the personal data concerned for the purpose of this sort of advertising; this also applies to profiling, provided it is connected to such direct advertising. If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data shall no longer be processed for such purposes. You have the option, in connection with the use of services of the information society – notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EU – to exercise your right to object by means of automated processes in which technical specifications are used.
    8. Right to withdraw consent regarding data protection lawYou have the right to withdraw your consent regarding data protection law at any time. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent up until the point of withdrawal;
    9. Automated individual decision-making, including profilingYou 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 does not apply, if the decision

       (1) is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between the you and the data 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, decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data referred to in Article 9(1) GDPR, provided point (a) or (g) of Article 9(2) do not apply and suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests are in place. In the cases referred to in points (1) and (3), the data 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 data controller, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision.
    10. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authorityIf you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes the GDPR, you have, without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member’s state of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement. The supervisory authority where the complaint was lodged, informs the complainant of the status and results of the complaint including the possibility of judicial remedy pursuant to Article 78 GDPR.
