§ 2 Principles of Data Processing

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, information such as your name, your age, your address, your telephone number, your date of birth, your email address, your IP address or user behaviour. Information for which we cannot establish a connection to you personally, or can do so only with disproportionate effort, for example by anonymising the information, is not personal data. The processing of personal data, such as collection, retrieval, use, storage or transmission, always requires a legal basis or your consent. Processed personal data will be deleted as soon as the purpose of the processing has been achieved and there are no statutory retention obligations to be observed. Where we process your personal data for the provision of specific services, we inform you below about the specific processes, the scope and purpose of the data processing, the legal basis for the processing and the respective storage period.

Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the aforementioned data processing. The processing of the aforementioned data is necessary for the provision of a website and therefore serves to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company.

c. Storage Period

As soon as the aforementioned data is no longer required to display the website, it will be deleted. The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is strictly necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, the user has no option to object. Further storage may take place in individual cases if this is required by law.
