General information about data processing
Extent of the processing of personal data
We collect and use personal information from our users only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website, content and services. The collection and use of personal data from our users takes place only with the consent of the user. An exception applies to cases in which prior consent can not be obtained for factual reasons, and processing the data is permitted by law.
Legal basis for the processing of personal data
When we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.
When processing personal data necessary for completing a contract, in which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b of the GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations required to carry out pre-contractual actions.
When the processing of personal data is required to fulfil a legal obligation to which our project is subjected, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c of the GDPR serves as the legal basis.
In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d of the GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If processing is necessary to safeguard the factual interests of our project or a third party, and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh those interests, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.
Deletion of data and storage duration
The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the reason for storage expires. In addition, data storage may occur when required by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other regulations to which the controller is subject. Restriction or deletion of data also occurs when a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for longer storage of the data, for entering or fulfilment of a contract.
Accessing the website and creation of log files
Description and extent of data processing
Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the requesting computer. The following data is collected:
- Information about the user's web browser and its version;
- the user's operating system;
- the user's IP address;
- the date and time of access;
- Websites from which the user's system reaches our website;
- Websites that are accessed by the user's system through our website.
The data is also stored in our systems' log files. Storage of this data together with other personal data of the user does not occur.
Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f of the GDPR.
Reason for data processing
Temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to deliver the website to the user's computer. To do this, the user's IP address must be stored for the duration of the session.
Storage in log files occurs to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, the data is used to optimise the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. Analysis of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context.
For these purposes, our factual interest in the processing of data is according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f of the GDPR.
Duration of storage
The data will be deleted as soon as it is not needed to achieve the purposes for which it was collected. In the case of data collection used to providing the website, this takes place when the respective session is completed.
For data storage in log files, this takes place after fourteen days at the latest. Longer storage is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or obfuscated, so that linking the data to the requesting client is no longer possible.
Option to object and remove data
The collection of data for accessing the website and the storage of the data in log files is essential for the operation of the website. There is consequently no option for users to opt-out of this data collection.
