II. General information on data processing
1. Scope of processing of personal data
As a matter of principle, we collect and use your personal data as visitors to our website only insofar as this is necessary for the provision of a functional website and its content and services. The collection and use of your personal data only takes place with your consent. An exception applies to cases in which prior consent cannot be obtained and in which the processing of the data is permitted by law.
2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data
Insofar as we obtain your consent for the processing of personal data, the legal basis is provided by Article 6, para 1 lit. a EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
When processing personal data necessary to fulfil a contract of which you are a party, the legal basis is provided by Article 6, para 1 lit b GDPR. This also applies to processing operations required to carry out pre-contractual actions.
Insofar as the processing of personal data is required to fulfil a legal obligation that is subject to our partnership, the legal basis is provided by Article 6, para 1 lit. c GDPR.
In the event that the processing of personal data is demanded in the vital interest of yourself as an affected person or any other natural person, the legal basis is provided by Article 6, para 1, lit. d GDPR.
If the processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interest of our partnership or a third party as well as your interests, and fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms do not outweigh that interest, the legal basis is provided by Article 6, para 1 lit. f GDPR.
3. Data deletion and storage duration
Your personal data shall be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage no longer exists. In addition, such storage may be provided for by European or national legislators in EU regulations, laws or provisions to which we, as the controller, are subject. Blocking or deletion of the data also takes place when the storage period prescribed by the standards referred to expires unless there is a need for further storage of the data in order to conclude a contract or for contract fulfilment.
III. Provision of the website and creation of log files
1. Description and scope of data processing
Every time our website is accessed our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the calling computer. The following information is collected without your intervention and stored until time of automated deletion:
- IP-address of the requesting computer (the IP addresses are stored anonymously, the last three digits are removed),
- date and time of access
- name and URL of the retrieved file,
- website from which access is made (referrer URL),
- the browser used and, if applicable, the operating system of your computer as well as the name of your access provider.
The data is stored in the log files in our system. The storage of this data together with other personal data of the visit does not take place.
2. Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for this temporary storage of data is Article 6 para 1 lit. f GDPR.
3. Purpose of data processing
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to your computer. To do this, your IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session.
These purposes also justify our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Article 6 para 1 lit. f GDPR.
4. Duration of storage
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purpose of its collection. In the case of collecting the data for the provision of our website, this is the case when the respective session is over.
5. Objection and removal options
The collection of data for the provision of our website and the storage of the data in log files is essential for the operation of the website. You therefore have no opportunity to raise objections.
IV. E-mail contact
1. Description and scope of data processing

3. Purpose of data processing

The other personal data processed during the sending process serve to prevent abuse of contact and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.
4. Duration of storage
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purpose of its collection. For the personal data sent by e-mail, this is the case when the respective conversation with the visitor has terminated.

The additional personal data collected during the sending process will be deleted by the latest after a period of seven days.
5. Objections and deletion possibilities
You have the opportunity to revoke your consent to the processing of your personal data at any time. If you contact us by e-mail, you may object to the storage of your personal data at any time. In such a case the conversation cannot be continued.
