I. GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT DATA PROCESSING

  1. SCOPE OF PERSONAL DATA PROCESSING

We collect and use personal data from our users only to the extent necessary to fulfil our contractual obligations and your requests. After the fulfilment of contractual obligations, we process data only with your consent. An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for actual reasons or where processing the data is permitted by law.

Personal data refers to any information relating to an identifiable natural person; a natural person is considered identifiable when he can be identified directly or indirectly, in particular by means of assignment to an identifier, such as a name, identification number, location data, an online identifier, or one or more special features that express the physical, psychological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of said natural person.

Enquiries may be sent to us using the email addresses provided on our websites. The information you provide in your emails will only be used to respond to your request and to comply with any legal requirements arising from it. In this context, it may be necessary to pass on personal data to third parties.

2. LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING PERSONAL DATA

Where we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. Sec. 6(1) (a) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
For the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. Sec. 6(1) (b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to the processing operations required to perform pre-contractual actions.

If the processing of personal data is necessary to comply with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. Sec. 6 (1) (c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject are not overridden, Art. 6(1) (f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing. Sec. 6 (1) (f) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

  1. DATA DELETION AND RETENTION PERIOD

Personal data concerning the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the reason for storage no longer exists. Storage may also take place when the European or national legislator has provided for this in the EU regulations, laws or other regulations to which we are subject. The data is also blocked or deleted when a period of storage prescribed by the stated standards expires, unless the data needs to be stored for longer in order to conclude or fulfil a contract.

 

II. PROVISION OF THE WEBSITE AND CREATION OF LOG FILES

  1. DESCRIPTION AND SCOPE OF DATA PROCESSING

Each time our website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system accessing the website.

We collect the following data here:

(1)    Accessed Domain
(2)    Client IP
(3)    Time of access
(4)    Browser type and version
(5)    Status code of the query
(6)    Number of bytes transmitted
(7)    Operating system

The data is stored in the log files in our system. This data is not stored with any other personally identifiable data about the user.

  1. LEGAL BASIS FOR DATA PROCESSING

The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data and the log files is formed by 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

  1. PURPOSE OF DATA PROCESSING

The, at least, temporary storage of the IP address by the system is required so that the website can be delivered to the user’s computer. The user’s IP address needs to be stored for this purpose for the duration of the session.

The storage in log files takes place to ensure the functionality of the website. We also use the data to optimise the website and guarantee the security of our information technology systems. The data will not be analysed for marketing purposes in this context.

These purposes also include our legitimate interest in processing personal data in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

  1. RETENTION PERIOD

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose it was collected. In the case of data collection for the purpose of hosting the website, this is the case when the relevant session ends.

This is no later than seven days in the case of data stored in log files. Retention beyond this time period is also possible. In this case, the user’s IP address is deleted or anonymised, so that the client retrieving the IP address can no longer be assigned to it.

  1. OBJECTION AND REMOVAL OPTION

The collection of the data for serving the website and the storage of the data in log files is essential for operating the website. This means that there is no option available to the user to object in this case.
