III. General Information on Data Processing
1. Scope of the processing of personal data
As a general rule, we process our users’ personal data only to the extent necessary to provide a fully functional website and our content and services. The processing of our users’ personal data is generally carried out only with the user’s consent. An exception applies in cases where it is not possible to obtain consent in advance for practical reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by statutory provisions.
2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data
Where we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Article 6(1)(a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.
Where the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.
Where the processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis.
Where the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person necessitate the processing of personal data, Article 6(1)(d) of the 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 do not override the former interest, Article 6(1) f) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.
3. Data erasure and retention period
The data subject’s personal data shall be erased or restricted as soon as the purpose for which it was stored no longer applies. Data may also be retained if this is provided for by European or national legislation in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted when a retention period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need to continue storing the data for the purpose of concluding a contract or fulfilling a contract.
IV. 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 of the accessing device.
The following data is collected in the process:
(1) Information about the browser type and version used
(2) The user’s operating system
(3) The user’s internet service provider
(4) The user’s IP address
(5) Date and time of access
(6) Websites from which the user’s system accessed our website
(7) Websites accessed by the user’s system via our website
2. Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.
3. Purpose of 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. To this end, the user’s IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session.
Data is stored in log files to ensure the website functions properly. Furthermore, we use the data to optimise the website technically and to ensure the security of our IT systems. The data is not analysed for marketing purposes in this context.
These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in data processing pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.
4. Duration of storage
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of data collected for the purpose of providing the website, this is the case once the relevant session has ended.
Where data is stored in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. Storage for a longer period is possible. In this case, the users’ IP addresses are deleted or anonymised so that it is no longer possible to identify the client making the request.
5. Right to object and to have data erased
The collection of data for the purpose of providing the website and the storage of data in log files is strictly necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, the user has no right to object.
V. Use of cookies
1. Description and scope of data processing
Our website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in the web browser or by the web browser on the user’s computer system. When a user visits a website, a cookie may be stored on the user’s operating system. This cookie contains a distinctive string of characters that enables the browser to be uniquely identified when the website is visited again.
We use cookies to ensure our website functions properly. Certain elements of our website require that the browser used to access the site can be identified even after a page has been changed.
2. Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the processing of personal data using technically necessary cookies within the meaning of Section 25(2) of the TTDSG is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.
3. Purpose of data processing
The purpose of using technically necessary cookies is to enable users to use websites. Some functions of our website cannot be provided without the use of cookies. For these, it is necessary for the browser to be recognised even after changing pages.
We require cookies for the following applications:
(1) Introductory sequence
(2) Application of language settings
(3) Contact form
The user data collected via technically necessary cookies is not used to create user profiles.
These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in the subsequent processing of personal data pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.
4. Duration of storage, right to object and option to delete
Cookies are stored on the user’s computer and transmitted from there to our website. As a user, you therefore have full control over the use of cookies. By changing the settings in your web browser, you can disable or restrict the storage of cookies. Cookies that have already been stored can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. If cookies are disabled for our website, it may no longer be possible to make full use of all the website’s functions.
VI. Contact form and email contact

Our website features a contact form which can be used to contact us electronically. If a user makes use of this option, the data entered in the form is transmitted to us and stored. This data comprises:
(1) Email-Address
(2) preferred contact time
At the time the message is sent, the following data is also stored:

Alternatively, you may contact us via the email address provided. In this case, the user’s personal data transmitted with the email will be stored.
No data will be passed on to third parties in this context. The data will be used exclusively for the purpose of handling the correspondence.
2. Legal basis for data processing
Where the user has given their consent, the legal basis for the processing of the data is Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR.
The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted when sending an email is Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. If the purpose of the email contact is to conclude a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR.
3. Purpose of data processing
We process the personal data entered via the contact form solely for the purpose of handling your enquiry. Where contact is made by email, this also constitutes the necessary legitimate interest in the processing of the data.
The other personal data processed during the submission process serves to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our IT systems.
4. Duration of storage
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected. For personal data entered via the contact form and that sent by email, this is the case once the relevant conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is deemed to have ended when it is clear from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively resolved.
Any additional personal data collected during the submission process will be deleted within seven days at the latest.
5. Right to object and right to erasure
The user may withdraw their consent to the processing of their personal data at any time. If the user contacts us by email, they may object to the storage of their personal data at any time. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued.
In this case, all personal data stored when you contacted us will be deleted.
