General information on data processing
1. Scope of processing of personal data
In principle, we only process the personal data of our users to the extent that this is necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. We process personal data that we receive from you in the course of our business relationship. We receive the data directly from you, e.g. in the context of inquiries, orders, offers, order confirmations, contracts or through personal contacts with our employees. The processing of personal data of our users takes place regularly only with the consent of the user. An exception applies in such cases in which it is not possible to obtain prior consent for actual reasons and the processing of the data is required by statutory provisions.
2. Legal basis for processing personal data
Insofar as we obtain the consent of the person concerned for the processing of personal data or processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis.
Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data required to fulfill a contract to which the data subject is a party. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures.
In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the 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 person concerned do not outweigh the first interest, Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.
3. Data Erasure and Storage Duration
The personal data of the person concerned will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Storage can also take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other regulations to which the person responsible is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the standards mentioned expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.
4. Rights of the data subject
If personal data is processed by us, you are the data subject within the meaning of the GDPR and you have the following rights vis-à-vis the person responsible:

In the context of unlawful processing, you reject the deletion of the personal data.
Instead, obtain the restriction of the use of the personal data.

d. Right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”) (Art. 17 GDPR)
If one of the following reasons applies, you have the right to demand the immediate deletion of your personal data:
Your data is no longer necessary for the processing purposes for which it was originally collected.
You revoke your consent and there is no other legal basis for processing.
You object to the processing and there are no overriding legitimate reasons for the processing or you object in accordance with Article 21 (2) GDPR.
Your personal data is being processed unlawfully.
Erasure is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which we are subject.

Please note that the above reasons do not apply if the processing is necessary:
To exercise the right to freedom of expression and information;

For reasons of public interest in the field of public health.
For archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes.

You have the right, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to object at any time to the processing of your personal data, which is based on Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. e or f GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
If the personal data concerning you is processed in order to operate direct advertising, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct advertising.
g. 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 if you believe that the processing of your personal data violates the GDPR. The supervisory authority to which the complaint was lodged will inform the complainant about the status and the results of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Art. 78 GDPR.
