B General information on data processing

1. Scope of processing personal data

We process personal data of our users primarily only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website as well as our content and services. The processing of personal data of our users generally occurs only with the consent of the user. An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by legal provisions.

2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Insofar as we obtain consent from the data subject for processing operations involving personal data, Article 6(1)(a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis. For the processing of personal data necessary for the fulfillment of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Article 6(1)(b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. Insofar as processing personal data is necessary for the fulfillment of a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Article 6(1)(c) GDPR serves as the legal basis. In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person make processing personal data necessary, Article 6(1)(d) GDPR serves as the legal basis. If processing is necessary for the protection of legitimate interests 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, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.

3. Data deletion and storage duration

The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to exist. Storage may also occur if this is provided for by the European or national legislator in union law regulations, laws, or other provisions to which the controller is subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted when a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned norms expires, unless there is a necessity for further storage of the data for the conclusion of a contract or the fulfillment of a contract.

If the restriction of processing has been limited according to the aforementioned conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.

In exercising this right, you also have the right to obtain the transfer of your personal data concerning you directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible.

Notwithstanding 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 residence, your workplace, or the place of the alleged infringement, if you believe that the processing of your personal data violates the GDPR. The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant of the status and results of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Art. 78 GDPR.
