II. general information on data processing

As a matter of principle, we process personal data of our users only to the extent that this is necessary for a functioning website as well as for our contents and services. We regularly process personal data of our users only with the consent of the user. An exception to this are cases in which obtaining prior consent is not possible for actual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by legal regulations.

2. legal basis for the processing of personal data 

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing operations of personal data, the legal basis is Article 6 (1) lit. a of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO).

When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) lit. b DSGVO. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.

If processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) c DSGVO.

If processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO. 

3. Data deletion and storage period 

We delete or block personal data as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. We store data beyond this if this is provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other provisions. We also delete or block data when a prescribed storage period expires, unless longer storage of the data is necessary for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.
