3. General information on data processing

1. Scope of the processing of personal data

In principle, we only process the personal data of our users insofar as this is necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. The processing of the personal data of our users takes place regularly only with the consent of the user. There is an exception in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for legitimate reasons, and data processing is required by law.

2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Article 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 Letter 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, Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. b 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 Para. 1 Clause 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis.

In the event that the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Article 6 Para. 1 Clause 1 lit. d 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 person concerned do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 Para. 1 Sentence 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

3. Data deletion and storage duration

The data subject’s personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Storage can also take place if the European or national legislator has provided for this in Union regulations, laws or other provisions to which the person responsible is subject. Additionally, data will be blocked or deleted when the storage period specified by the applicable standards expires unless further storage is required for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.

4. Rights of the data subject

If your personal data is processed, you are the data subject within the meaning of GDPR, and you have the following rights in respect to the person responsible:
