II. General Information on Data Processing
1. Extent of the processing of personal data
We collect and use personal data of our users only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website, as well as our content and services. The collection and use of personal data of our users is generally carried out only with the consent of the user. An exception applies in cases where it is not possible to obtain prior consent for factual reasons, and the processing of the data is permitted by legal provisions.
2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data
Where 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 for processing.
Where the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.
Where processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis.
In the event that processing of personal data is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person, Article 6(1)(d) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis.
Where processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or a third party, and where the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject do not override the aforementioned interest, Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.
3. Data deletion and retention period
The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. However, storage may continue if this is provided for by European or national legislation in Union regulations, laws, or other provisions to which the controller is subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted if the storage period prescribed by the aforementioned regulations expires, unless further storage of the data is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract.

The log files contain IP addresses or other data that may enable identification of a user. This could be the case, for example, if the link to the website from which the user arrived at the website or the link to the website the user moves to contains personal data.
The data is also stored in the log files of our system. However, these data are not stored together with other personal data of the user.
2. Legal basis for data processing

You have the right to request information as to whether the personal data concerning you is being transferred to a third country or an international organization. In this context, you may request to be informed about the appropriate safeguards under Article 46 of the GDPR in relation to the transfer.
2. Right to Rectification
You have the right to rectification and/or completion with regard to the controller if the personal data concerning you are inaccurate or incomplete. The controller must rectify the data without undue delay.

(3) if the controller no longer needs the personal data for processing purposes, but you require it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims; or
(4) if you have objected to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR and it has not yet been determined whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override your grounds.
If the processing of your personal data has been restricted, these data – apart from their storage – may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or a Member State.
If the restriction of processing has been imposed under the aforementioned conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.
4. Right to erasure
a) Obligation to erase
You can request the controller to delete your personal data without undue delay, and the controller is obligated to erase this data immediately if one of the following reasons applies:
(1) The personal data concerning you is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
(2) You withdraw your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.

If the controller has made the personal data concerning you public and is obliged to delete it under Article 17(1) of the GDPR, they shall take reasonable measures, including technical measures, considering available technology and the costs of implementation, to inform data controllers who process the personal data that you, as the data subject, have requested the deletion of all links to, or copies or replications of, these personal data.
c) Exceptions
The right to erasure does not apply where processing is necessary:
(1) for the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information;
(2) for compliance with a legal obligation requiring processing under the law of the Union or of the Member States to which the controller is subject, or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
(3) for reasons of public interest in the area of public health in accordance with Article 9(2)(h) and (i) and Article 9(3) of the GDPR;
(4) for archival purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes, or statistical purposes in accordance with Article 89(1) of the GDPR, insofar as the right mentioned under (a) is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing; or
(5) for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
5. Right to notification
If you have asserted the right to rectification, deletion, or restriction of processing to the controller, they are obliged to inform all recipients to whom your personal data has been disclosed of the rectification or deletion of the data or the restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.
You have the right to be informed about these recipients by the controller.
6. Right to Data Portability
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to the controller in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. Additionally, you have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data has been provided, provided that:
(1) The processing is based on consent under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, or a contract under Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR, and
(2) The processing is carried out by automated means.
In the exercise of this right, you also have the right to request the direct transmission of your personal data from one controller to another, where technically feasible. The freedoms and rights of other persons must not be affected by this.
The right to data portability does not apply to the processing of personal data that is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
7. Right to Object
You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of your personal data which is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
The controller shall no longer process the personal data concerning you unless he demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for such marketing purposes; this also applies to profiling to the extent it is related to such direct marketing.
If you object to the processing for direct marketing purposes, your personal data will no longer be processed for those purposes.
You also have the option to exercise your right to object in connection with the use of information society services—regardless of Directive 2002/58/EC—using automated procedures that involve technical specifications.
8. Right to Withdraw the Data Protection Consent Declaration
You have the right to withdraw your data protection consent declaration at any time. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the legality of the processing carried out based on the consent until the withdrawal.
9. Automated Decision Making in Individual Cases, Including Profiling
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing – including profiling – that has legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision:
(1) is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the controller,
(2) is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject, and such law provides appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests, or
(3) is based on your explicit consent.
However, these decisions must not be based on special categories of personal data as referred to in Article 9(1) of the GDPR, unless Article 9(2)(a) or (g) of the GDPR applies and appropriate measures to protect the rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests have been taken.
Regarding the cases mentioned in (1) and (3), the controller shall implement appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests, which must include at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express your point of view, and to contest the decision.
10. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the member state of your residence, your place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement, if you believe that the processing of your personal data violates the GDPR.
The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant of the progress and the outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Article 78 of the GDPR.
