II. General Information on Data Processing

We process personal data of our users only insofar as this is necessary to provide a functional website as well as our content and services. The processing of personal data of our users regularly takes place only after the user’s consent. An exception applies in such cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for practical reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by legal regulations. Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing personal data, Article 6(1)(a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis. When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Article 6(1)(b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. Insofar as processing personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Article 6(1)(c) GDPR serves as the legal basis. If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, and if the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing. The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Storage may also take place if this is provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws, or other provisions to which the controller is subject. Blocking or deletion of the data also takes place when a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a necessity for further storage of the data for a contract conclusion or fulfillment.

The processing of personal data serves solely to handle the contact. This is also the required legitimate interest in processing the data. The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of sending an email is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. If the email contact aims at concluding a contract, an additional legal basis for the processing is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary for achieving the purpose of their collection. For the personal data sent by email, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is ended when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the relevant matter has been conclusively clarified. Any additional personal data collected during the sending process will be deleted at the latest after a period of seven days. The user has the option to revoke their consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the user contacts us via email, they can object to the storage of their personal data at any time.
