1. Scope of Personal Data Processing
We generally collect and use our users’ personal data only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. The collection and use of personal data of our users is regularly carried out only with the user’s consent. An exception applies in cases where obtaining prior consent is not feasible for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.
Our website is not directed at minors, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from minors.
If persons under the age of 16 transmit personal data to us, this is only permitted if the legal guardian has given consent or has approved the minor’s consent. In accordance with Article 8(2) GDPR, the contact details of the legal guardian must be provided to us so that we can verify the consent or approval. These data, as well as the minor’s data, will then be processed in accordance with this Privacy Policy.
If we become aware that a minor under the age of 16 has provided us with personal data without the consent or approval of their legal guardian, we will delete such data without undue delay.
2. Legal Basis for the Processing of Personal Data
Where we obtain the data subject’s consent for the processing of personal data, Article 6(1)(a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.
In the processing of personal data that is 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 necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures.
Where the processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with 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 require the processing of personal data, Article 6(1)(d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
Where processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, and such interests are not overridden by the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.
In accordance with Article 21 GDPR, the data subject has the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning them which is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (processing based on a balancing of interests). If the data subject objects, the controller will no longer process the personal data unless the controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims.
The objection may be made informally and may be directed to the contact details provided in Section I.
3. Data Deletion and Retention Period
The personal data of the data subject shall be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Storage may also take place where this has been provided for by European or national legislators in EU regulations, laws, or other provisions to which the controller is subject.
The data shall also be blocked or deleted when a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned provisions expires, unless there is a necessity to continue storing the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract.

2. Legal Basis for Data Processing
The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
3. Purpose of Data Processing
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the delivery of the website to the user’s device. For this purpose, the user’s IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session.
Data is stored in log files to ensure the functionality of the website. The data also serves to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. This data is not evaluated for marketing purposes in this context.

If the data subject objects, the controller will no longer process the personal data unless the controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
The objection may be made informally and should preferably be addressed to the contact details provided in Section I.
If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
4. Duration of Storage
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of data collection for the provision of the website, this applies when the respective session has ended.
In the case of storage of the data in log files, this is the case after no more than seven days. Storage beyond this period is possible. In such cases, the users’ IP addresses are deleted or anonymized so that it is no longer possible to assign the accessing client.
5. Right to Object and Erasure
The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files are strictly necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, the user has no option to object.

The right to erasure shall not apply to the extent that processing is necessary:
(1) for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;
(2) for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject, or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;

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.

9. Automated Individual Decision-Making, Including Profiling
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision:
(1) is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between you and the controller;
(2) is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests;
(3) oris based on your explicit consent.
However, such decisions shall not be based on special categories of personal data referred to in Article 9(1) GDPR, unless Article 9(2)(a) or (g) GDPR applies and suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests are in place.
With regard to the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the controller shall implement suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express your point of view, and to contest the decision.
