3. Legal basis for processing personal data

We only process your personal data such as your surname and first name, your e-mail address and IP address, etc. if there is a legal basis for this. According to the General Data Protection Regulation, the following regulations in particular come into consideration here:

  • Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR: The data subject has given their consent to the processing of their personal data for one or more specific purposes.
  • Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. b GDPR: Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures that are carried out at the request of the data subject.
  • Article 6 paragraph 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR: The processing is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which the person responsible is subject
  • Article 6 paragraph 1 sentence 1 lit. d GDPR: Processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person
  • Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. e GDPR: the processing is necessary for the performance of a task that is in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority that has been transferred to the person responsible

However, at the relevant points in this data protection declaration, we will always point out the legal basis on which the processing of your personal data takes place.

4. Disclosure of personal data

The transfer of personal data is also processing within the meaning of the previous paragraph 3. However, at this point we would like to inform you separately about the topic of transfer to third parties. The protection of your personal data is very important to us. For this reason, we are particularly careful when it comes to passing on your data to third parties.

It will therefore only be passed on to third parties if there is a legal basis for processing. For example, we pass on personal data to persons or companies who work for us as processors in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. Processor is anyone who processes personal data on our behalf – i.e. in particular in an instruction and control relationship with us.

In accordance with the requirements of the GDPR, we conclude a contract with each of our processors (due to Art. 28 clause 3 GDPR) in order to oblige them to comply with data protection regulations and thus to provide your data with comprehensive protection. The contract can be proven at any time upon first request.

If we work with third parties as joint controllers within the meaning of Art. 26 GDPR, we conclude a contract within the meaning of Art. 26 clause 1 GDPR, which can be verified upon first request.

5. Duration of Storage and Deletion

Your personal data will be irretrievable deleted by us if they are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed, the processing is not necessary to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information, to fulfill a legal obligation reasons of public interest or to assert, exercise or defend legal claims. In the event of an assertion or defense, the statutory limitation periods under German law apply.

6. SSL Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as the inquiries you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
