Scope and place of processing personal data

We only process personal data of our users if this is necessary to provide a functional website as well as our contents and services. The processing of personal data of our users normally takes place only the user has agreed to this. An exception applies in those cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for real reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law. Unless otherwise specified, the data is stored and processed in Germany.

Legal basis for processing personal data

Art. 6 (1) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the legal basis for the allowable processing of personal data.

It describes the following cases of lawful processing:

the data subject has given consent to the processing of his or her personal data for one or more specific purposes;
processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract;
processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject;
processing is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person;
processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data.

Cooperation with processors and third parties

For the server providing a part of our data processing enviroment (the operation of this online offering and of the e-mail server) we use the services of an external IT service partner. Our contract with this service partner ensures that personal data is handled in accordance with the GDPR and appropriate technical and organisational measures are taken to protect such data.

We utilise the expert services of an external tax advisor. Tax advisors are obliged to maintain confidentiality and secrecy with respect to the personal data (e.g., data required for providing you with an invoice) transmitted to them. The use of such services is necessary to protect our legitimate economic and legal interests (according to art. 6 (1 f) GDPR).

Other than that, your personal data is not forwarded to any third party, unless we legally obliged to do so, or you explicitly agree to it.

Transfer to third countries

Unless we are legally obliged to do so, we will not forward your data to third countries. One possible execption could be that you explicitly request this within the scope of a project to facilitate the execution of the project.

Data erasure and storage period

Unless otherwise stated in this privacy statement, we will delete personal data as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected, and if no legal data retention obligation prevents a deletion of the data. Should it not be possible to delete personal data because they are required for other and legally permitted purposes, their use will be restricted. That is, the processing of the data will be restricted and it will not be used for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be retained due to commercial or tax laws.

Provision of the website and log files

Description and scope of data processing

For every access to the web server providingthis service, we collect data (server log-files). Access data includes

the name of the accessed website,
file,
date and time of access,
transferred data volume,
notification of successful access,
browser type and version,
the user's operating system,
referrer URL (the previously visited page), and
IP address

This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user. The data will not be passed on to third parties unless we are in an individual case obliged to do so by law.

Purpose and legal basis for data processing

The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the website to be delivered to the user's computer. For this the IP address of the user must remain stored for the duration of the session.

The data is stored in log files to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, the data helps us to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our IT systems. We do not use this data for marketing purposes. These purposes describe our legitimate interest in processing this data according to art. 6 (1 f) GDPR.

Duration of storage

Log file information is stored for a maximum of 14 days for security reasons (e.g., to investigate misuse or fraud) and then deleted. Data whose further storage is required for evidentiary purposes are excluded from deletion until final clarification of the respective incident.

Option of objection and removal

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, the user cannot object to the processing of this data.

In addition, e-mail traffic data will be collected in log-files on the mail server. Such data includes recipient and sender of e-mails, the time of the communication, and sucess or potential errors of the communication.

The data will not be passed on to third parties unless we are obliged to do so by law in individual cases. The data is used exclusively for processing the conversation and, in the case of the traffic data, for analysing problems.

Data transmission via the Internet is generally associated with certain risks. We recommend encrypted transfer for your personal and other important data and would be pleased to agree on an encryption method that suits your needs.

Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted by sending an e-mail is art. 6 (1 f) GDPR. If the purpose of the e-mail contact is the conclusion of a contract, then art. 6 (1 b) GDPR provides an additional legal basis for processing the data.

Purpose of data processing

If you contact us by e-mail, this contact constitues our legitimate interest in the processing of your data.

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. For the personal data sent by e-mail, this is the case when the conversation with the user is finished. The conversation is finished when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the facts in question have been finally clarified.

Should the e-mail conversation lead to a contract or purchase order, the transmitted data will be stored as long as it is needed to fulfill the contract or as long as required by legal data retention obligations.

Logged traffic data will be stored for a maximum of 6 months.

Option of objection and elimination

The user has the possibility to revoke his consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the user contacts us by e-mail, he can object to the storage of his personal data at any time. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued.
