Processing of personal data

We only process personal data if this is permitted by law or if we have been provided the consent to do so.
Insofar as we collect consent from the affected party for the processing of personal data, then Art. 6, Sec. 1 (a) of EU GDPR serves as the legal basis.
Insofar as the processing of personal data is used to fulfill a legal requirement to which our company is subject, then Art. 6, Sec. 1 (c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
The personal data of the affected party is deleted or blocked as soon as the grounds for storing this data have expired. In addition, the data can also be stored if this has been provisioned by the European or national lawmakers in EU regulations, laws or other legal provisions to which the responsible party is subject. Deleting or blocking the data also occurs if a storage period determined by the standards mentioned here expires, unless, due to the fulfillment of a contract, there is a requirement for the further storage of the data.
Each time you access our homepage, our system automatically records data and information from the accessing computer’s systems.

The following data is recorded:

  • Information about the type of browser and version used
  • The user’s operating system
  • The user’s IP address
  • Date and time the website was accessed
  • Websites that were accessed by the user through our website

Legal groundwork for the temporary storage of the data and the log files is Art. 6, Sec. 1 (f) GDPR.
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is required to enable the website to be displayed on the user’s computer. For this, the user’s IP address must be stored for the duration of their visit.
The log file is stored to ensure the website’s functionality. Furthermore, we use the data to optimize the website and to ensure the safety of our IT-relevant systems. In this connection, we do not analyze the data for any marketing-related purposes.
Our legitimate interest in data processing as per Art. 6, Sec. 1 (f) GDPR also lies in these purposes.
The data is deleted as soon as the reason for which it was originally collected no longer exists. In the case of the recording of data for the provisioning of the website, this is the case once the respective session has ended.
The deletion of the data in the log files will be completed no later than after seven days. A storage of data going beyond this is also possible. In this case, the users’ IP addresses are deleted or truncated so that it is no longer possible to assign these to the accessing client.
The compiling of data for the provisioning of the website and the storage of data in log files is required for the operation of the website. Therefore, the user is unable to object to this.
