2. General information on data processing

Scope of the processing of personal data

As a matter of principle, we only process the personal data of our users insofar as it is necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. The processing of personal data of our users takes place regularly only with the consent of the user. An exception applies in those cases in which prior consent cannot be obtained for factual 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 the processing of personal data, Article 6 (1) (a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.
When processing personal data that is required to fulfill a contract to which the data subject is a party, Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. That also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures.
Insofar as the 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.
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.
If processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

Data deletion and storage duration

The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Storage can also take place if that has been provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by one of the aforementioned norms expires, unless a necessity exists in relation to the further storage of the data for the arrangement of a contract or the fulfilment of a contract.

Our legitimate interest in data processing according to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR also lies in those purposes.

Duration of storage

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, that is the case when the respective session has ended.

In order to be able to recognize attack patterns, accesses to the server must be saved. As soon as that data is no longer needed, it will be deleted.

Opposition and removal option

The collection of the data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is essential for the operation of the website. There is consequently no possibility of objection on the part of the user.

Scope of the processing of personal data

We use the open source software tool Matomo (formerly PIWIK) on our website to analyze the websites accessed by our users. The results of the analysis help us to find errors and optimize our website..

The software runs exclusively on the servers of Strato AG (https://www.strato.com/). The storage of the pseudo-anonymous data of the users only takes place there.

A cookie (small text file) called "MATOMO_SESSID" is also saved on your computer. The cookie remains on your computer until you delete it or is automatically deleted as soon as a defined expiry date has passed.

The cookie does not contain any personalized data. It is only used to signal your consent as to whether an analysis by us may take place on our website.

Legal basis for the processing of personal data

The legal basis for processing users' personal data is Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

Below on our website, we offer our users the option of opting out of the analysis process. In that way, the "MATOMO_SESSID" cookie is described in such a way that it signals to our system not to save the user's data. If the user deletes the corresponding cookie from his own system in the meantime, he must set the opt-out cookie again.

Rights of the data subject

If your personal data is processed, you are affected within the meaning of the GDPR and you have the following rights towards the controller:

Right of access

You can request confirmation from the controller as to whether we are processing personal data relating to you.

If such processing is the case, you can request information from the controller specified in Art. 15 (1) (a-h) GDPR.

You have the right to request information about whether your personal data is being transmitted to a third country or to an international organization. In that context, you can request to be informed about the appropriate guarantees in accordance with Art. 46 GDPR in connection with the transmission.

Right to rectification

You have a right to rectification and / or completion of processed personal data, if the data concerning you is incorrect or incomplete. The contoller must make the correction immediately.

Right to restriction of processing

In accordance with the requirements of Art. 18 (1) (a-d) GDPR, you can request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If the processing of your personal data has been restricted, such personal data shall, with the exception of storage, only be used with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest processed by the Union or a Member State.

If the processing restriction has been restricted according to the above conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.

Right to erasure

You can demand from the contoller that the personal data concerning you be erased immediately, and the contoller is obliged to erase that data immediately, provided that the requirements specified in Art. 17 (1) (a-f) GDPR are met.

If the controller has made the personal data relating to you public and is obliged to erase personal data in accordance with Art. 17 (1) GDPR, the controller, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform controllers which are processing the personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data.

Art. 17 (3) GDPR provides for exceptions in which the right to erasure does not exist if processing is necessary.

Right of Notification

If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing personal data against the controller, the controller is obliged to notify all recipients to whom the personal data have been disclosed about the rectification, erasure or restriction of processing personal data, unless that turns out to be impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.

You have the right to be informed about these recipients by the controller.

Right to data portability

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you in a structured, common and machine-readable format from the controller. According to Art. 20 (1) (a-b) GDPR, you also have the right to transmit that data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided.

In exercising that right, you also have the right to have the personal data relating to you transmitted directly from one controller to another, insofar as that is technically feasible. That must not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

The right to data portability does not apply to the processing of personal data that is necessary for the performance of a task that is in the public interest or takes place in the exercise of official authority that has been transferred to the controller.

Right to object

You have the right, for reasons that arise from your particular situation, to object at any time to the processing of your personal data, which is based on Art. 6 (1) (e) or (f) GDPR; that also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

The controller will no longer process the personal data concerning you unless he can prove compelling legitimate reasons for the processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

If the personal data relating to you are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of the personal data relating to you for such marketing; that also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing.

If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data relating to you will no longer be processed for such purposes.

In the context of the use of information society services- regardless of Directive 2002/58 / EC - you have the option of exercising your right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

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. That does not apply if the decision is made in accordance with Art. 22 (2) (a-c) and therefore the controller takes appropriate measures to protect the rights and freedoms as well as 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.

Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of your habitual residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement, if you are of the opinion that the processing of your personal data infringes the regulations of GDPR.

The supervisory authority to which the complaint was submitted informs the complainant about the status and the outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy in accordance with Art. 78 GDPR.
