Our users‘ personal data is processed only to the extent necessary to provide our content and services as well as a functioning website. The regular processing of our users‘ personal data takes place only with the user’s consent. An exception applies in those cases in which obtaining prior consent is not possible for legitimate reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law. 

2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Provided that we obtain the data subject’s consent for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.

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

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

Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR serves as a legal basis in the event that the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person necessitate the processing of personal data.

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

3. Data erasure and storage period

The personal data of the data subject will be erased or restricted as soon as the purpose of its storage no longer applies. In addition, the data may be stored if the European or national legislator has provided for this in EU ordinances, laws or other regulations to which the controller is subject. The data shall also be restricted or erased if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless further storage of the data is necessary for entering into or the performance of a contract.
