/General Information on Data Processing. Scope of Processing of Personal Data.

We only process personal data of our users to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. The processing of personal data generally only takes place with the user’s consent. An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for practical reasons, and the processing is permitted by legal regulations.

​

Legal Basis for the Processing of Personal Data

• If we obtain the data subject’s consent, Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

• For processing personal data necessary for performance of a contract, Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR is the legal basis.

• If processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR applies.

• If vital interests of the data subject or another natural person make processing necessary, Art. 6(1)(d) GDPR is the basis.

• If processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest and this outweighs the interests or fundamental rights of the data subject, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR is the legal basis.

• ​

Data Deletion and Storage Duration.
Personal data is deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Storage beyond this period may occur if required by European or national legislation. Data will also be blocked or deleted when a legally mandated storage period expires, unless continued storage is required for contract fulfillment.
