III General information on data processing

1. Important terms of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR)

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter “data subject”). This includes, in particular, your name or your e-mail address.

The term “processing” includes in particular the collection or storage of personal data.

Please note that the terms used, such as “user”, are to be understood as gender-neutral.

2. Scope of data processing
‍We process personal data (hereinafter referred to as “data”) of our users on the basis of the applicable data protection regulations (such as the GDPR). Your data will only be processed if this is necessary for the functionality of our website and for the provision of our services or if we are legally obliged to do so.

‍3. Legal basis for data processing

Insofar as we obtain your consent for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR serves as the legal basis. When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which you are a party, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR is used as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to take steps at your request prior to entering into a contract. Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which we are subject, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c) GDPR is the legal basis for the processing. If processing is necessary for the purposes of our legitimate interests or those of a third party, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing, provided that your interests, fundamental rights and freedoms do not override the former interest. When processing special categories of personal data, we also rely on a legal basis in accordance with Art. 9 (2) GDPR.

Processing can also be based on several legal bases.

‍4. Duration of storage
Your personal data will be deleted as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies and statutory retention periods (e.g. under tax law) or our overriding legitimate interests or those of a third party do not prevent deletion. If necessary, we will explain the specific storage period or the criteria for this in more detail at the relevant points.

– Right to information in accordance with Art. 15 GDPR

– Right to restriction of processing in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR

If your personal data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR, you have the right to object if there are reasons for this arising from your particular situation or if the objection is directed against direct advertising (Art. 21 GDPR). ‍

You also have the right to withdraw your consent under data protection law at any time. Please note that even if you withdraw your consent, the processing carried out on the basis of your consent up to the time of withdrawal remains lawful.
