V. General information on data processing

In principle, we only process our users' personal data to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. The processing of our users' personal data regularly only takes place with the user's consent. An exception applies in cases in which obtaining prior consent is not possible for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.

Where we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 (a) in conjunction with Art. 7 (1) and Art. 4 no. 11 EU GDPR serves as the legal basis. Where personal data is processed to fulfil a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 (b) EU GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations required to carry out pre-contractual measures. Where the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 (c) EU GDPR serves as the legal basis.

Where the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 (d) EU GDPR applies as the legal basis. Where processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override that interest, Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 (f) EU GDPR serves as the legal basis.

As soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies, the personal data of the data subject will be erased or restricted. This may also occur where this is required by laws and regulations to which the controller (see I.) is subject.

Data will also be restricted or erased when a storage period prescribed by the standards mentioned expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data in order to conclude or fulfil a contract.
