Scale of processing of personal data

We generally only process personal data of our users only as far as this is necessary to provide a functional website or our contents and services. Processing of personal data of our users shall usually only take with the user’s consent. A derogation shall apply in such cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons and where processing of the data is permitted by the law.

Legal basis relating to processing of personal data

As far as we collect the consent of the data subject for processing of personal data, point (a) of Article 6(1) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.

For legal processing of personal data that is necessary to perform a contract of which the data subject is a party, point (b) of Article 6(1) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to perform pre-contractual measures.

As far as processing of personal data is necessary to perform a legal obligation that our company is subject to, point (c) of Article 6(1) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If any vital interests of the data subject or any other natural person require processing of personal data, point (d) of Article 6(1) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If processing is necessary to maintain 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 override the former interest, point (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.

Data erasure and duration of storage

The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Storage may further take place when this is stipulated by the European or national legislator in regulations under Union law, laws or other rules that the controller is subject to. Blocking or erasure of the data shall also take pace if a storage period required by the standards named expires, except if further storage of the data is required for conclusion of a contract or performance of a contract.
