III.    General information about data processing

1.    Extent of personal data processing

We collect and use personal data from users of our homepage only to the extent that is necessary for keeping our website, our content and our services functioning properly.

In general, we collect and use our users’ personal data only after they give their con-sent. An exception to this principle applies in cases where processing data is permit-ted by statutory provisions or when obtaining prior con-sent is not possible.

2.    Legal basis for processing personal data

The legal basis for processing personal data is generally based on:

• Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. a GDPR upon obtaining the consent of the data subject.
• Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. b GDPR for processing operations that serve to fulfil a contract to which the data subject is a party. Included here are processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures.
• Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. c GDPR for processing required to fulfil a legal obligation.
• Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. d GDPR, if vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require processing of personal data.
• Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. f GDPR, if processing is necessary for purposes of the legitimate interests of our company or a third party, and the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interest.
  
  • To be able to base the processing of personal data on a legitimate interest, an as-sessment is carried out in each case in consultation with the data protection officer for each relevant process, whereby the following three conditions must be met:
    

    1. The controller or a third party has a legitimate interest in the processing of personal data.

    2. The processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interest.

    3. Interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require the protection of personal data do not prevail.

3.    Data erasure and data storage duration

Personal data of users will be deleted or restricted as soon as the purpose for stor-ing the data is no longer applicable. Personal data may be stored for longer than for the original purpose, if there is applicable European or national legislation through EU regulations, laws, or other regulations, to which the data controller is subject to. Personal data is also deleted or restricted, when a mandatory storage period expires, unless the personal data is needed for concluding or fulfilling a con-tract.

IV.    Use of our website, general information

1.    Description and scope of data processing

Every time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and in-formation from the user's computer system. The following information can be collect-ed:

• Information about the browser type and version used
• The user’s operating system
• The user’s Internet service provider
• The user’s IP address
• Date and time of access
• Websites the user’s system accesses to get to our website
• Websites that the user's system invokes by accessing our website

The described data is stored in log files for our system and is not stored together with any other personal user data.

2.    Purpose and legal basis for data processing

To provide our website to users, our system must store user IP addresses temporarily. Therefore, IP addresses must be stored for the duration of a users’ session.

Storage in log files is done to ensure the functionality of our website. In addition, the data is used to optimize our website and to ensure the security of our systems. Per-sonal data that is processed in this context, is not processed for marketing purposes.

The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is our legitimate inter-est according to Art. 6 para. 1 s. 1 lit. f GDPR.

Collecting this personal data and storing it in log files is essential to secure, provide and operate our website. Therefore, an option to object to processing in this context does not exist.

3.    Duration of storage

Your data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for achieving the pur-pose it was processed for. Personal data that is processed to provide our website will be deleted after your session ends.

If your data is stored in log files, it will be deleted after seven days at the latest. It may be stored for longer, whereby the IP addresses of users are deleted or alienat-ed. This means, that it will no longer be possible, to assign them to individual clients.

V.     General information about the use of cookies

We use cookies on our website. Cookies are text files that are stored in your Internet browser and therefore on your computer system.

TTDPA; Ger.: TTDSG:

The legal basis for the storage of cookies, device identifiers and similar tracking technologies or for the storage of information in the end user's terminal equipment and access to this information is the European ePrivacy Directive in conjunction with the Telecommunications and Telemedia Data Protection Act (TTDPA; Ger.: TTDSG).

Please note that the legal basis for the processing of personal data collected in this context then results from the GDPR. The relevant legal basis for the processing of personal data in each specific case can be found below the respective cookie or the respective processing itself.

The primary legal basis for the storage of information in the end user's terminal equipment - consequently in particular for the storage of cookies - is their consent, §25 Abs.1 S.1 TTDPA (Ger.: TTDSG). Consent is given when visiting our website - alt-hough this does not have to be given, of course - and can be revoked at any time in the cookie settings.

According to §25 Abs.2 Nr.2 TTDPA (Ger.: TTDSG), consent is not required if the stor-age of information in the end user's terminal equipment or access to in-formation already stored in the end user's terminal equipment is absolutely necessary for the provider of a Telemedia service to be able to provide a Telemedia service expressly requested by the user. You can see from the cookie settings which cookies are to be classified as absolutely necessary (often also referred to as "technically neces-sary cookies") and therefore fall under the exception of §25 Para.2 TTDPA (Ger.: TTDSG) and therefore do not require consent.

GDPR; Ger.: DSGVO:

When cookies are used, the following data is stored and transmitted:
(1) Language settings
(2) Log-in information

Cookies are stored on the user’s computer, which transmits them to our page. As a user, you therefore have control over the use of cookies. You can restrict or disable transmission of cookies by making changes to your Internet browser settings. There you can also delete cookies that have been stored. Please note that you may not be able to use all the features on our website if you deactivate cookies.
