General information on data processing

Legal basis for processing personal data

In accordance with Art. 13 GDPR, we will inform you of the legal basis for our data processing. If the legal basis is not specified in the data protection notice, the following applies: 
The legal basis for obtaining consent is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a iVm . Art. 7 GDPR. The legal basis for processing to fulfill our services and carry out contractual measures as well as to answer inquiries is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR. The legal basis for processing to fulfill our legal obligations is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c GDPR. If the processing of your data is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the person concerned do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR as the legal basis for processing. In the event that the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. d GDPR as the legal basis.

Data deletion and storage period

We adhere to the principles of data minimization in accordance with Art. 5 Para. 1 lit. c GDPR and storage limitation in accordance with Art. 5 Para. 1 lit. e GDPR. We only store your personal data for as long as is necessary to achieve the purposes stated here or as required by the statutory retention periods. Once the respective purpose no longer applies or after these retention periods have expired, the relevant data will be deleted as quickly as possible.

External links

This website may contain links to third party websites or to other websites under our responsibility. If you follow a link to one of the websites outside of our responsibility, please note that these websites have their own data protection information. We assume no responsibility or liability for these external websites and their data protection information. Before using these websites, please check whether you agree to the data protection declarations there.

You can recognize external links either by their color being slightly different from the rest of the text or by their underlined appearance. Your cursor will show you external links when you move over such a link. Only when you click on an external link will your personal data be transferred to the destination of the link. The operator of the other website receives in particular your IP address, the time at which you clicked the link, the page on which you clicked the link, and other information that you can find in the data protection information of the respective provider.

Please also note that individual links can lead to data transfer outside the European Economic Area. This could give foreign authorities access to your data. You may not have any legal recourse against these data accesses. If you do not want your personal data to be transferred to the link target or even be exposed to unauthorized access by foreign authorities, please do not click on any links.

Rights of data subjects

As a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR, you have the opportunity to assert various rights. The data subject rights resulting from the GDPR are the right of access (Article 15), the right to rectification (Article 16), the right to erasure (Article 17), the right to restriction of processing (Article 18), the right to object (Article 21) , the right to complain to a supervisory authority and the right to data portability (Article 20).

Right of withdrawal:

Some data processing can only take place with your express consent. You have the option to revoke your consent at any time. However, this does not affect the lawfulness of data processing until revocation.

Right to object:

If the processing is based on Art. 6 paragraph 1 lit. e or f GDPR, you as the data subject can object to the processing of personal data concerning you at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation. You also have this right in the case of profiling based on these provisions within the meaning of Art. 4 Z 4 GDPR. Unless we can demonstrate a legitimate interest for the processing which outweighs your interests, rights and freedoms or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims, we will refrain from processing your data after you have objected .

If the processing of personal data serves the purpose of direct advertising, you also have the right to object at any time. The same applies to profiling , which is related to direct advertising. Here, too, we will no longer process personal data as soon as you object.

Right to complain to a supervisory authority:

If you believe that the processing of personal data concerning you violates the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of your place of residence, your place of work or the place of the alleged violation, without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy violation, too.

Right to data portability:

If your data is processed automatically based on consent or fulfillment of a contract, you have the right to receive this data in a structured, common and machine-readable format. You also have the right to request that the data be transferred and made available to another person responsible, as long as this is technically feasible.

Right to information, correction and deletion:

You have the right to receive information about your processed personal data regarding the purpose of data processing, the categories, the recipients and the duration of storage. If you have any questions about this topic or other topics relating to personal data, you can of course contact us using the contact options provided in the legal notice.

Right to restriction of processing:

You can request the restriction of the processing of your personal data at any time. To do this, you must meet one of the following requirements:

• You dispute the accuracy of the personal data. For the duration of the accuracy check, you have the right to request that processing be restricted.
• If processing takes place unlawfully, you can request that the use of the data be restricted as an alternative to deletion.
• If we no longer need your personal data for the purposes of processing, but you need the data to assert, exercise or defend legal claims, you can request restriction of processing as an alternative to deletion.
• If you object to the processing in accordance with Article 21 Para. 1 GDPR, your interests and ours will be weighed up. Until this consideration has been taken, you have the right to request that processing be restricted.

Restricting processing means that, apart from storage, the personal data will only be used with your consent or for the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims or protecting the rights of another natural or legal person or for important public reasons may be processed in the interests of the Union or a Member State.

Provision of the website (web host)

Our website is hosted by:

IONOS SE
Elgendorfer Str. 57
56410 Montabaur

When you access our website, we automatically collect and store information in so-called server log files. Your browser automatically transmits this information to our server or to the server of our hosting company .
These are:

• IP address of the website visitor’s device
• Device used
• Host name of the accessing computer
• Visitor’s operating system
• Browser type and version
• Name of the retrieved file
• Time of server request
• Amount of data
• Information as to whether the data retrieval was successful

This data is not merged with other data sources.
Instead of operating this website on our own server, we can also have it operated on the server of an external service provider ( hosting company ), which we have mentioned above in this case. The personal data collected by this website is then stored on the hosting company ‘s servers . In addition to the data mentioned above, the web host also stores for us, for example, contact requests, contact details, names, website access data , meta and communication data, contract data and other data that is generated via a website.

The processing of this data is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. Our legitimate interest is the technically error-free presentation and optimization of this website. If the website is accessed to enter into contract negotiations with us or to conclude a contract, this serves as an additional legal basis (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR). If we have commissioned a hosting company , there is a contract for order processing with this service provider.

Use of local storage items, session storage items and cookies

Our website uses local storage items, session storage items and/or cookies. Local storage is a mechanism that enables data to be stored within the browser on your device . This data usually includes user preferences, such as whether a website is in “day” or “night” mode, and is retained until you manually delete the data. Session storage is very similar to local storage, whereas the storage duration only lasts during the current session, i.e. until the current tab is closed. The session storage items will then be deleted from your device. Cookies are information that a web server (server that provides web content) stores on your device in order to be able to identify this device. They are either temporarily deleted for the duration of a session (session cookies) and after you have finished visiting a website, or stored permanently (permanent cookies) on your device until you delete them yourself or they are automatically deleted by your web browser.

These objects can also be stored on your device by third-party companies when you enter our site (third-party requests ). This enables us as the operator and you as a visitor to this website to use certain services from third parties that are installed on this website. Examples of this include processing payment services or displaying videos.

These mechanisms have a wide range of possible uses. They can improve the functionality of a website, control shopping cart functions, increase the security and comfort of website use and carry out analyzes of visitor flows and behavior . Depending on the individual functions, these must be classified under data protection law. If they are necessary for the operation of the website and are intended to provide certain functions (shopping cart function) or are used to optimize the website (e.g. cookies to measure visitor behavior), then they are used on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR. As a website operator, we have a legitimate interest in storing local storage items, session storage items and cookies in order to provide our services in a technically error-free and optimized manner. In all other cases, local storage items, session storage items and cookies will only be stored with your express consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR).
