We process personal data of our users only to the extent necessary to provide a functioning website and our content and services. The processing of personal data of our users takes place regularly only with the consent of the users.

3.2. storage period and legal basis for the processing of personal data

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

Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as a legal basis with the processing of personal data, which are necessary for the fulfilment of a contract, whose contracting party is the person concerned. 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.

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

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 GDPR shall serve as the legal basis for the processing.

If we commission third parties with the processing of data on the basis of a so-called "order processing contract", e.g. the web host who operates the server for this website, this is done on the basis of Art. 28 GDPR.

Unless specifically stated, we will only store personal data for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected or as required by law.

However, if there are concrete suspicions that require further storage for the purpose of preserving evidence, such data will be excluded from deletion until final clarification.

The legal basis for the temporary storage of log files is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is mandatory for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility for the user to object.

9. Data security

We make every effort to ensure the security of your data within the framework of the applicable data protection laws and technical possibilities.
Your personal data will be transmitted encrypted. We use the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) coding system, but point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) can have security gaps. A complete protection of the data against access by third parties is unfortunately not technically possible.

We maintain technical and organizational security measures to secure your data and maintain their confidentiality, which we continually adapt to the state of the art.

However, we do not guarantee that our online service will be available at certain times; disruptions, interruptions or failures cannot be ruled out. The servers used by us are regularly carefully backed up.
