General information on data processing

Scope of the processing of personal data

In principle, we only process personal data of our users insofar as this is necessary for the provision of a functional website and our content and services. The processing of personal data of our users takes place on a regular basis only with the consent of the user. An exception applies in those cases in which prior consent cannot be obtained for practical reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.

Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the concerned parties for the processing of personal data, Article 6 (1) (a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.

When processing personal data that is required to fulfil a contract to which the concerned party is a party, Article 6 (1) (b) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures.

Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Article 6 (1) (c) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis.

In the event that the vital interests of the concerned party or another individual require the processing of personal data, Article 6 (1) (d) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the concerned party do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Article 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.

Data deletion and storage duration

The personal data of the concerned party will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Storage may also take place if this has been provided for by a European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other provisions to which the responsible party is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the standards mentioned expires, unless there is need for further storage of the data in order to conclude or fulfil a contract.

Provision of the website and creation of log files

Every time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the calling 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 reached 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. The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Article 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR.

The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the website to be delivered to the user’s computer. To do this, the user’s IP address must be saved for the duration of the session.

The storage in log files takes place to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, we use the data to optimise 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. Our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Article 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR is based on these purposes.

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected.

If the data is stored in log files, this will be the case after seven days at the latest. Any further storage is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users will be deleted or alienated so that it is no longer possible to assign the accessing client.

The collection of the data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is essential for the operation of the website. There is consequently no possibility of objection on the part of the user.

Rights of concerned parties

If your personal data is processed, you are the concerned party as defined in the GDPR and you have the following rights vis-à-vis the responsible party:

Information

You may request confirmation from the responsible party as to whether personal data relating to you is being processed by us.

If this is the case, you may request the following information from the responsible party:

  1. the purposes for which the personal data is processed;
  2. the categories of personal data that are processed;
  3. the recipients or the categories of recipients to whom the personal data relating to you has been disclosed or is still being disclosed;
  4. the planned duration of the storage of your personal data or, if specific information on this is not possible, criteria for determining the storage duration;
  5. the existence of a right to correction or deletion of your personal data, a right to restrict processing by the responsible party or a right to object to this processing;
  6. the existence of a right of appeal to a supervisory authority;
  7. all available information on the origin of the data if the personal data is not collected from the data subject;
  8. the existence of automated decision-making including profiling pursuant to Article 22 (1) and (4) of the GDPR and – at least in these cases – meaningful information about the logic involved and the scope and intended effects of such processing for the concerned party.

You have the right to request information about whether your personal data is being transmitted to a third country or to an international organisation. In this context, you may request to be informed about the appropriate guarantees pursuant to Article 46 of the GDPR in connection with the transfer.

Right to rectification

You have a right to correction and/or completion vis-à-vis the responsible party that the processed personal data concerning you is incorrect or incomplete. The responsible party must make any corrections immediately.

Right to restrict processing

Under the following conditions, you can request that the processing of your personal data be restricted:

  1. if you dispute the correctness of the personal data concerning you for a period of time that enables the responsible party to check the correctness of the personal data;
  2. the processing is unlawful and you decline to delete the personal data and instead request that the use of the personal data be restricted;

 

  1. the responsible party no longer needs the personal data for processing purposes, but you need it to assert, exercise or defend legal claims, or
  2. if you have objected to the processing pursuant to Article 21 (1) of the GDPR and it has not yet been determined whether the legitimate reasons of the responsible party outweigh your reasons.

If the processing of your personal data has been restricted, this data – apart from its storage – may only be used with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or to protect the rights of another individual or legal entity or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or a Member State.

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

Right to deletion

Deletion obligation

You may request that the responsible party delete the personal data concerning you immediately, and the responsible party is obliged to delete this data immediately if one of the following reasons applies:

  1. The personal data relating to you are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
  2. You revoke your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Article 6 (1) (a) or Article 9 (2) (a) of the GDPR and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
  3. Pursuant to 21 (1) of the GDPR, you object to the processing and there are no overriding legitimate reasons for the processing, or you object pursuant to Article 21 (2) of the GDPR.
  4. Personal data concerning you has been processed unlawfully.
  5. The deletion of your personal data is required to fulfil a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the member states to which the responsible party is subject.
  6. The personal data relating to you was collected in relation to information society services offered pursuant to Article 8 (1) of the GDPR.

Information for third parties

If the responsible party has made personal data concerning you public and pursuant to Article 17 (1) of the GDPR is obliged to delete it, taking into account the available technology and the implementation costs, it shall take appropriate measures, including technical measures, to inform those responsible for data processing who process the personal data that you as the data subject have requested that deletion of all links to this personal data or copies or replications of this personal data.

Exceptions

The right to deletion does not exist if processing is necessary

  1. to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information;
  2. to fulfil a legal obligation that requires processing under the law of the Union or of the member states to which the responsible party is subject, or to perform a task that is in the public interest or in the

 

  1. exercise of official authority that has been transferred to the responsible party;
  2. for reasons of public interest in the area of public health pursuant to Article 9 (2) (h) and (i) and Article 9 (3) of the GDPR;
  3. for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89 (1) of the GDPR, insofar as the right mentioned under section a) is likely to make the achievement of the objectives of this processing impossible or seriously impair it, or
  4. for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

Right to be informed

If you have asserted the right to correction, deletion or restriction of processing against the responsible party, the responsible party is obliged to inform all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you has been disclosed of this correction or deletion of the data or restriction of processing, unless this turns out to be impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.

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

Right to data portability.

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to the responsible party in a structured, accessible and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transfer this data to another responsible party without hindrance from the responsible party to whom the personal data was provided, provided that

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

In exercising this right, you also have the right to have your personal data transmitted directly from one responsible party to another responsible party, insofar as this is technically feasible. This must not impair the freedoms and rights of other individuals.

The right to data portability does not apply to the processing of personal data that is necessary for the performance of a task that is in the public interest or takes place in the exercise of official authority that has been transferred to the responsible party.

Right to object

You have the right to object at any time, for reasons that arise from your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data, which is based on Article 6 (1) (e) or (f) of the GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

If you do object, the responsible party will no longer process your personal data unless the party can provide compelling legitimate reasons for this processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing is necessary for the assertion, exercise, or defence of legal claims.

If the personal data concerning you are processed in order to process direct marketing, you have the right at any time object to the processing of your personal information for the purposes of such advertising; this also applies to profiling if this is done in connection with such direct marketing.

 

 

 

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

Regardless of Directive 2002/58/EC, you have the option, in connection with the use of information society services, to exercise your right of objection by means of automated procedures in which technical specifications are used.

Right to withdraw the declaration of consent under data protection law

You have the right to withdraw your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. Revoking your consent does not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of your consent up to the point of revocation.

Automated decision in individual cases including profiling

You have the right not to be subjected to a decision based solely on automated processing – including profiling – which has legal effects on you or which significantly affects you in a similar manner. This does not apply if the decision

  1. is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the responsible party,
  2. is permissible on the basis of Union or Member State legislation to which the responsible party is subject and this legislation contains appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, or
  3. takes place with your express consent.

However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Article 9 (1) of the GDPR, unless Article 9 (2) (a) or (g) of the GDPR apply and appropriate measures have been taken to protect your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests .

With regard to the cases mentioned in (1) and (3), the responsible party shall take appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person on the part of the responsible party, to express their own point of view and be heard on contesting the decision.

Right to complain to 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 place of residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement, if you are of the opinion that the processing of your personal data violates the GDPR.

The supervisory authority to which the complaint was lodged will inform the complainant about the status and the results of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Article 78 of the GDPR.
