General Information on Data Processing

Scope of Personal Data Processing

As a general rule, we collect and use our users’ personal data only to the extent necessary to provide a fully functional website and our content and services. The collection and use of our users’ personal data generally takes placeauml;ßonly with the user’s consent. An exception applies in cases where obtaining prior consent is not possible for practical reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.

Legal basis for the processing of personal data

To the extent that we obtain the data subject’s consent for the processing of personal data, Article 6(1)(a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis f&the processing of personal data.

When processing personal data necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.

To the extent that the processing of personal data is necessary to comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject, Article 6(1)(c) of the 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, Article 6(1)(d) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of ours or of a third party, and the interests, fundamental rights, and fundamental freedoms of the data subject do not override the former interest, then Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

Data Erasure and Retention Period

The data subject’s personal data will be erased or blocked as soon as the purpose for which it was stored no longer applies. Storage may,continue if this is provided for by European or national legislators in EU regulations, laws, or other provisions to which the controller is subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted when a retention period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need to continue storing the data f&for the conclusion or performance of a contract.
