Privacy policy

Extent of the processing of personal data:
We basically process personal data of our users only to the extent necessary for the provision of a functional website as well as for the use of the content of the website and our services. The processing of personal data of our users regularly takes place only with the consent of the user. An exception applies in such cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for actual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by legal regulations.

Legal basis for the processing of personal data:

If we obtain consent from the data subject for processing personal data, Article 6(1)(a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis. When processing personal data necessary for the performance 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 required to carry out pre-contractual measures. To the extent that processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Article 6(1)(c) GDPR serves as the legal basis. If processing of personal data is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person, Article 6(1)(d) GDPR serves as the legal basis. If processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.

Data Deletion and Storage Period:

Personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Storage may also take place if provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws, or other provisions to which the controller is subject.
