1.4 What 'Personal Data' means

In this Privacy Policy, we'll be talking a lot about your 'personal data'. If you aren't exactly sure what that means, here is how the term is defined in Article 4 of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) (and this is how we'll be using the term for the purposes of this Privacy Policy): "Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person ("data subject"). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person."

1.5 General information on data processing

1.5.1 Extend of processing personal data

We generally only process personal data of our users insofar as this is necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. The processing of personal data of our users takes place regularly only with the consent of the user. An exception applies in cases in which prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.

1.5.2 Legal basis for the processing of personal data

‍Insofar as we obtain the data subject's consent for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 §1 a 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, Art. 6 §1b GDPR as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. Insofar as processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 §1 c GDPR serves as the legal basis. In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 §1 d GDPR serves as the legal basis. If processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interest, Art. 6 §1 f GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.

1.5.3 Data deletion and storage duration

The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. We may store personal data if this has been prescribed 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 performance of a contract.
