General information on data processing

1. Scope of the processing of personal data
   We process personal data of our users only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website as well as our content and services. The processing of our users’ personal data takes place regularly only after the user’s consent. An exception applies in those cases in which prior consent cannot be obtained for actual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by statutory provisions.
2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data
   In so far as we obtain the consent of the person concerned for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 Para. 1 (a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis. Art. 6 Para. 1 (b) of the GDPR serves as a legal basis for the processing of personal data required for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party. This shall also apply to processing operations necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.If the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 Para. 1 (c) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis.In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person necessitate the processing of personal data, Art. 6 Para. 1 (d) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis.If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 Para. 1 (f) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.
3. Data deletion and storage period
   The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Data may also be stored if the European or national legislator has provided for this in Union regulations, laws or other provisions to which the data controller is subject. The data shall also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless it is necessary to continue storing the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract.

Provision of the website and creation of log files

1. Description and scope of data processing
   Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the accessing computer.
   The following data is collected at this point:
   • Information about the browser type and the version used
   • The user’s operating system
   • The user’s IP address
   • Date and time of access
   • Websites from which the user’s system reaches our website
   • Websites accessed by the user’s system through our website

   The data is also stored in the log files of our system. This data is not stored together with the user’s other personal.

2. Legal basis for data processing
   The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6 Para. 1 (f) of the GDPR.
3. Purpose of data processing
   The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user’s computer. For this purpose, the user’s IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session. The data is stored in log files in order to ensure the functionality of the website. The data is also used to optimise the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context.
4. Storage duration
   The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose of its collection. In case the data is collected for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session is terminated. In case the data is stored in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. Storage beyond this period is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or alienated so that an assignment of the client accessing the website is no longer possible.
5. Objection and removal option
   The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is mandatory for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility of objection on the part of the user.

Rights of the data subject

If personal data is processed by you, you are the data subject according to the GDPR and you are entitled to the following rights vis-à-vis the data controller:

   • the purposes for which the personal data are processed;
   • the planned duration of storage of the personal data concerning you or, if it is not possible to provide specific information in this regard, criteria for determining the duration of storage;

In this context, you may request to be informed of the appropriate guarantees pursuant to Art. 46 of the GDPR in connection with the transfer.
   This right of access may be restricted to the extent that it is likely to make it impossible or seriously impair the ability to achieve the research or statistical purposes and the restriction is necessary for the fulfilment of the research or statistical purposes.

2. Right to rectification
   You have the right to have your personal data rectified and/or completed by the data controller if the personal data processed concerning you is inaccurate or incomplete. The data controller must carry out the rectification immediately.
   Your right to rectification may be limited to the extent that it is likely to make it impossible or seriously impair the ability to achieve the research or statistical purposes and the limitation is necessary for the fulfilment of the research or statistical purposes.
3. Right to restriction of processing
   Under the following conditions, you may request the restriction of the processing of your personal data:
   1. if you dispute the accuracy of the personal data concerning you for a period of time which enables the data controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
   2. the processing is unlawful, and you refuse to delete the personal data and instead request the restriction of the use of the personal data;
   3. the data controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but you need them to establish, exercise or defend legal claims, or
   4. if you have objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21 Para. 1 of the GDPR and it has not yet been determined whether the legitimate grounds of the data controller override your grounds.

   Where the processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted, such data may not be processed, with the exception of their storage, without your consent or for the purpose of establishing, exercising or defending legal claims or protecting the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the Union or of a Member State.
   If the restriction of processing has been restricted according to the above-mentioned conditions, you will be informed by the data controller before the restriction is lifted.
   Your right to restrict the processing may be limited to the extent that it is likely to make it impossible or seriously impair the ability to achieve the research or statistical purposes and the limitation is necessary for the fulfilment of the research or statistical purposes.

4. Right to erasure
   1. Erasure obligation
      You may request the data controller to erase the personal data concerning you immediately and the data controller is obliged to erase such data immediately if one of the following reasons applies:
      1. The personal data concerning you are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
      2. You revoke your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 (a) or Art. 9 Para. 2 (a) of the GDPR and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
      3. You object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 Para. 1 of the GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 Para. 2 of the GDPR.
      4. The personal data concerning you have been processed unlawfully.
      5. The erasure of personal data concerning you is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the member states to which the data controller is subject.

   2. Information to third parties
      If the data controller has made the personal data concerning you public and is obliged to erase them in accordance with Art. 17 Para. 1 of the GDPR, it shall take appropriate measures, also of a technical nature, taking into account the available technology and the implementation costs, to inform the persons responsible for data processing who process the personal data that you, as the data subject, have requested them to erase all links to this personal data or copies or replications of this personal data.
   3. Exceptions
      The right to erasure shall not apply to the extent that processing is necessary
      1. to exercise the right of freedom of expression and information;
      2. to fulfil a legal obligation which requires processing under the law of the Union or member states to which the controller is subject or to perform a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
      3. for reasons of public interest in the area of public health in accordance with Art. 9 Para. 2 (h) and (i) and Art. 9 Para. 3 of the GDPR;
      4. for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes in accordance with Art. 89 Para. 1 of the GDPR, insofar as the right referred to in paragraph a) is likely to make it impossible or seriously impair the ability to achieve the objectives of that processing, or
      5. to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
5. Right to be informed
   If you have exercised your right to rectify, erase or restrict the processing of your personal data against the controller, the latter is obliged to inform all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed of this rectification, erasure or restriction of the processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.
   You have the right vis-à-vis the controller to be informed about these recipients.
6. Right to data portability
   You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to the controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. In addition, you have the right to communicate this data to another data controller without being hindered by the controller to whom the personal data was provided, where
   1. the processing is based on a consent pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 (a) of the GDPR or Art. 9 Para. 2 (a) of the GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 (b) of the GDPR and
   2. processing is carried out by automated means.

   In exercising this right, you also have the right to request that the personal data concerning you be transmitted directly from one controller to another, insofar as this is technically feasible. Freedoms and rights of other persons must not be affected by this.
   The right to data portability does not apply to the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

7. Right to object
   You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 (e) or (f) of the GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The controller will no longer process the personal data concerning you unless it demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.
   If the personal data concerning you are processed for the purpose of direct advertising, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of the personal data concerning you for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling to the extent that it is connected with such direct advertising.
   If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes.
   You may exercise your right of objection in relation to the use of information society services – notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC – by automated means using technical specifications.
   You also have the right to object to the processing of personal data concerning you for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes in accordance with Art. 89 Para. 1 of the GDPR on grounds relating to your particular situation.
   Your right of objection may be restricted to the extent that it is likely to make it impossible or seriously impair the ability to achieve the research or statistical purposes and the limitation is necessary for the fulfilment of the research or statistical purposes.
8. Right to revoke the declaration of consent under data protection law
   You have the right to revoke your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The revocation of the consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent up to the revocation.
9. Automated decision on a case-by-case basis including profiling
   You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects upon you or significantly affects you in a similar manner. This shall not apply if the decision
   1. is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the data controller,
   2. is authorised by legislation of the Union or member states to which the controller is subject, and this legislation contains adequate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, or
   3. is made with your explicit consent.

   However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data under Art. 9 Para. 1 of the GDPR, unless Art. 9 Para. 2 (a) or (g) of the GDPR applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect the rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests.

   In the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the controller shall take reasonable steps to safeguard the rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision.

10. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
    Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you shall have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of your residence, place of work or place of the presumed infringement, if you consider that the processing of your personal data is in breach of the GDPR. The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant of the progress and the outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Art. 78 of the GDPR.
