Processing of personal data

We only collect and use personal data from our users to the extent this is necessary to ensure a functioning website and to provide our content and services. The personal data of our users is regularly only collected and used with the consent of the user. An exception applies when obtaining prior consent is not possible for factual reasons, and the processing of the data is permitted by legal regulations.

Legal basis for processing personal data

In the event we obtain consent from data subjects for the processing of personal data, the legal basis for this processing is Article 6 (1) a) of the EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

When the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract with the data subject, the legal basis for this shall be Article 6 (1) b) GDPR. This also applies to processing operations that are required to carry out steps prior to entering into a contract.

In the event the processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, the legal basis for this shall be Article 6 (1) c) GDPR.
If the processing is required to uphold a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override the afore-mentioned interest, the legal basis for the processing shall be Article 6 (1) f) GDPR.

Erasure of data and duration of storage

The data we process will be erased or restricted in its processing in accordance with Articles 17 and 18 GDPR. Unless expressly stated in this privacy policy, the data stored by us will be deleted as soon as the data is no longer required for its intended purpose and the erasure does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations. If the data is not erased because it is required for other, legally permissible purposes, its processing will be restricted. This means the data will be blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be retained for commercial or tax law reasons.

Legal provisions dictate that the storage period is 6 years in accordance with Section 257 (1) HGB (trading books, inventories, opening balance sheets, annual financial statements, commercial letters, accounting documents, etc.) and 10 years in accordance with Section 147 (1) AO (books, records, management reports, accounting documents, commercial and business letters, documents relevant for taxation, etc.).

Handling data

If there is an opportunity to enter personal or business data online (email addresses, names, addresses), this information is expressly entered voluntarily by the user. Using and paying for all offered services is also permitted – if technically possible and reasonable – without entering any personal data or by giving anonymised data or a pseudonym. It is not permitted for third parties to use contact data such as postal addresses, telephone and fax numbers as well as email addresses published in the legal notice or comparable information for the purpose of sending information that has not been expressly requested. We expressly reserve the right to take legal action against the senders of so-called spam mails in the event this prohibition is breached.

Security measures

We shall take appropriate technical and organisational measures to ensure a level of security commensurate with the risk in accordance with Article 32 GDPR, taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, context and purposes of the processing, as well as the risk of varying likelihood and severity for the rights and freedoms of natural persons. The measures include, in particular, ensuring the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data by controlling the physical access to the data as well as the access concerning you, the input, transfer, assurance of availability and separation. Furthermore, we have established procedures to ensure data subject rights are exercised, data is erased, and a response is given to data at risk. Furthermore, we take the protection of personal data into account when developing or selecting hardware, software and procedures in accordance with the principle of data protection through design and by default (Article 25 GDPR).
The security measures include in particular the encrypted transmission of data between your browser and our servers.

Cooperation with processors and third parties

If, in the course of our processing, we disclose data to other persons and companies (processors or third parties), transmit such to them or otherwise grant them access to the data, this will only take place based on legal permission (e.g. if a transmission of the data to third parties, such as to payment service providers, is necessary for the performance of a contract pursuant to Article 6 (1) b GDPR), if you have given consent, if a legal obligation provides for this, or based on our legitimate interests.
If we commission third parties with the processing of data based on a processing contract, this takes place based on Article 28 GDPR.

Transfer to third countries

Where we process data in a third country (i.e. outside the European Union [EU] or the European Economic Area [EEA]) or where we do so in the context of using third-party services or disclosing or transferring data to third parties, this will only happen if such takes place to fulfil our (pre-)contractual obligations, on the basis of your consent, based on a legal obligation or on the basis of our legitimate interests. Subject to legal or contractual permissions, we only process data or have data processed in a third country if the special requirements of Article 44 et seq. GDPR apply. This means, for example, that processing takes place based on special safeguards, such as official recognition of a level of data protection corresponding to EU regulations (e.g. “Privacy Shield” for the USA) or the observance of officially recognised special contractual obligations (so-called standard contractual clauses).

Liability claims against the author relating to material or non-material damage caused by the use or non-use of the information provided or by the use of incorrect or incomplete information are excluded as a matter of principle, insofar as there is no demonstrably intentional or grossly negligent fault on the part of the author.

II. References and links

In the case of direct or indirect references to external websites (“hyperlinks”) that the author bears no responsibility for, the author would only have a liability obligation if the author had knowledge of the content and it would be technically possible and reasonable for him to prevent use in the case of illegal content.

The author hereby expressly declares that at the time the links were created, no illegal content was discernible on the linked pages. The author has no influence whatsoever on the current and future design, content or authorship of the linked pages. Therefore, the author expressly distances himself from all content of all linked pages that were changed after the links were created.
