Scope of processing of personal data
We only process personal data of our users insofar as this is necessary to provide a functional website as well as our content and services. The processing of personal data of our users is carried out regularly only with the consent of the user. An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for practical reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.
Legal basis for the processing of personal data
Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO/GDPR) serves as the legal basis.
For the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.
For the processing necessary to safeguard our legitimate interests, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO (GDPR) serves as the legal basis, provided that the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail.
Data deletion and storage duration
The 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 this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws, or other provisions to which the controller is subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted when a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract.
