3. General information on data processing

Scope of the processing of personal data

As a rule, we process personal data of our users only to the extent necessary to provide a functioning website and our content and services. Personal data of our users is regularly processed only with the user's consent. An exception applies in cases where obtaining prior consent is not possible for technical reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.

Legal basis for data processing

Where we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis.

For the processing of personal data required to perform a contract, Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations required to carry out pre-contractual measures.

Where the processing of personal data is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis.

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

Data erasure and storage period

The personal data of the data subject is erased or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Data may be stored beyond that where this is provided for by European or national legislation.

  • Right to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR): You may request the erasure of your personal data if one of the legal grounds applies.
