III. General information on data processing

1. Scope of the processing of personal data

We generally process personal data of our users only to the extent that is necessary to provide a functional website with our contents and services. The personal data of our users is processed regularly only with the prior consent of the user. An exception is made in those cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons and processing of the data is permitted by statutory provisions.

2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

In cases where we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.

Where processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.

If processing of personal data is necessary to comply with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis.

In cases where the processing of personal data is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or of a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override this legitimate interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

3. Erasure of data and duration of storage

The personal data of the data subject will be erased or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage ceases to apply. The data may be stored beyond this period if this has been stipulated by European or national legislators in EU regulations, laws or other provisions applicable to the controller. The data will also be blocked or erased on expiry of a storage period prescribed by the above-mentioned standards, unless there is a need for further storage of the data in order to conclude or perform a contract.

2. Legal basis for the data processing

The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

3. Purpose of the data processing

Temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the website content to be delivered to the user's computer. For this purpose, the user's IP address must be stored for the duration of the session.

Data is stored in log files to ensure functionality of the website. The data also enables us to optimise the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. The data is not evaluated for marketing purposes in this context.

These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in data processing pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

4. Duration of storage

The data will be erased as soon as it is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. When data is collected for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended.

If the data is stored in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. The data may be stored beyond this period. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are erased or masked in such a way that they can no longer be associated with the accessing client.

5. Possibility of objection and removal

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is essential in order to operate the website. Consequently, the user cannot object to such collection and storage.

VIII. Rights of the data subject

If your personal data is being processed, you are a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR and you are entitled to the following rights vis-à-vis the controller:

1. Right to information

You can request confirmation from the controller as to whether or not we are processing personal data concerning you.

In the event of such processing, you may request the following information from the controller:
(1) the purposes for which the personal data is being processed;
(2) the categories of personal data being processed;
(3) the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data concerning you has been or will be disclosed;
(4) the envisaged period for which the personal data concerning you will be stored, or, if specific information cannot be provided, the criteria used to determine the period of storage;
(5) the existence of a right to rectification or erasure of personal data concerning you, a right to restriction of processing by the controller or a right to object to such processing;
(6) the existence of a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority;
(7) all available information on the source of the data, if the personal data is not collected from the data subject;
(8) the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in Art. 22 para. 1 and 4 of the GDPR and – at least in these cases – meaningful information about the logic involved and the significance and envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject.

You have the right to request information about whether personal data concerning you is transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. In this context, you may request to be informed about the appropriate safeguards in accordance with Art. 46 GDPR relating to the transfer.

2. Right to rectification

You have the right to ask the controller to rectify and/or complete the data if the processed personal data concerning you is inaccurate or incomplete. The controller shall carry out such rectification without undue delay.

3. Right to restriction of processing

You may request that the processing of personal data concerning you be restricted if the following conditions apply:
(1) if you contest the accuracy of the personal data concerning you for a period of time which enables the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
(2) the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and request the restriction of its use instead;
(3) the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but you need it for the purpose of establishing, exercising or defending legal claims, or
(4) if you have objected to the processing in accordance with Art. 21 para. 1 of the GDPR and it has not yet been established whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override your grounds.

Where the processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted, such data shall – with the exception of storage – only be processed with your consent or for the purpose of establishing, exercising or defending legal claims or for protecting the rights of another natural person or legal entity or on grounds of an important public interest of the Union or of a Member State.

If restriction of processing has been obtained pursuant to the above-mentioned conditions, you shall be informed by the controller before the restriction of processing is lifted.

4. Right to erasure

a) Obligation to erase
You can request the controller to erase personal data concerning you without undue delay and the controller is obliged to erase such data without undue delay if one of the following reasons exists:
(1) The personal data concerning you is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
(2) You revoke your consent on which the processing pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a of the GDPR was based, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
(3) You object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 of the GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 para. 2 of the GDPR.
(4) Personal data concerning you has been processed unlawfully.
(5) The personal data concerning you has to be erased for compliance with a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject.
(6) The personal data concerning you has been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Art. 8 para. 1 of the GDPR.

b) Information to third parties
Where the controller has made personal data concerning you public and is obliged to erase it pursuant to Art. 17 para. 1 of the GDPR, the controller, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform controllers who 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, this personal data.

c) Exceptions
The right to erasure does not exist if the processing is necessary
(1) for exercising the right to freedom of expression and information;
(2) for compliance with a legal obligation due to which processing is required under Union law or under the law of the Member State to which the controller is subject or in order to perform a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
(3) for reasons of public interest in the field of public health pursuant to Art. 9 para. 2 lit. h and i and Art. 9 para. 3 of the GDPR;
(4) for archiving purposes related to public interest, for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89 para. 1 of the GDPR, in so far as the right referred to in paragraph a) is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of such processing, or
(5) for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

5. Right to notification

If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing vis-à-vis the controller, the controller is obliged to notify all recipients, to whom the personal data concerning you has been disclosed, of this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.

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

6. Right to data portability

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to the controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. Moreover, you have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data had been made available, provided that
(1) the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a of the GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a of the GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b of the GDPR and
(2) the processing is carried out by automated means.

In exercising this right, you also have the right to have the personal data concerning you transmitted directly from one controller to another, as far as this is technically feasible. Such transmission must not impair the freedoms and rights of other persons.

The right to data portability shall not apply to processing of personal data which is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

7. Right to object

You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is carried out pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e or f of the GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

The controller shall no longer process personal data concerning you, unless he can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or unless the processing is required to establish, exercise or defend legal claims.

If the personal data concerning you is processed for direct advertising purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such advertising. This also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct advertising.

If you object to processing for direct advertising purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes.

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

8. Right to revoke the declaration of consent under data protection law

You have the right to revoke your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. Revocation of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out on the basis of consent until such consent was revoked.

9. Automated decision in individual cases, 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 affects you significantly in a similar manner. This shall not apply if the decision
(1) is necessary for entering into or for the performance of a contract between you and the controller,
(2) is authorised by statutory provisions of the Union or the Member States to which the controller is subject and these statutory provisions specify appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, or
(3) is based on your explicit consent.

However, these decisions shall not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9 para. 1 of the GDPR, unless Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a or g of the GDPR applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests.

In the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the controller shall implement suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, which shall include at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, right to express a personal point of view and the right to contest the decision.

10. 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 residence, your place of work or place of the alleged infringement, if you believe that the processing of personal data concerning you violates the GDPR.

The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant of the progress and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Art. 78 GDPR.
