2 General information on data processing
2.1 Scope of processing of personal data
We generally process personal data of our users only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. As a rule, the processing of our users’ personal data takes place only with the user’s consent. An exception applies in cases where obtaining consent in advance is not possible for factual reasons and processing is permitted by statutory provisions.
2.2 Legal basis for processing personal data
Where we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing operations of personal data, Article 6(1)(a) of the 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 party, Article 6(1)(b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre‑contractual measures.
Where processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Article 6(1)(c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or a third party and these interests are not overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.
2.3 Erasure of data and storage duration
The personal data of the data subject are erased or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Storage may take place beyond this if provided for by European or national legislators in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. Data are also blocked or erased when a storage period prescribed by these provisions expires, unless further storage is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract.
Data are stored in server log files in a form that allows identification of the data subjects for a maximum of 30 days, unless a security‑relevant event occurs, such as a DDoS attack.

You have the right to request information as to whether personal data concerning you are transferred to a third country or to an international organization. In this context, you may request to be informed about the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Article 46 GDPR relating to the transfer.
9.2 Right to rectification
You have the right to obtain from the controller without undue delay the rectification and/or completion of personal data concerning you if they are inaccurate or incomplete.

Where processing of the personal data concerning you has been restricted, such data shall, with the exception of storage, only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or of a Member State.
If processing has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.
9.4 Right to erasure
9.4.1 Obligation to erase
You may obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning you without undue delay, and the controller is obliged to erase such data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies:
(1) the personal data concerning you are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed;

9.4.3 Exceptions
The right to erasure does not exist to the extent that processing is necessary
(1) for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information;
(2) for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject, or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;

(4) for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes in accordance with Article 89(1) GDPR, insofar as the right referred to under (a) is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the achievement of the objectives of that processing; or
(5) for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
9.5 Right to be informed
If you have exercised the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing with respect to the controller, the controller is obliged to communicate this rectification or erasure of data or restriction of processing to each recipient to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.
You have the right to be informed about those recipients by the controller.
9.6 Right to data portability
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to the controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.

(1) the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR; and
(2) the processing is carried out by automated means.
In exercising this right, you also have the right to have the personal data concerning you transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. This must not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.
The right to data portability does not apply to processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
9.7 Right to object
You have the right, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to object to processing of personal data concerning you which is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions.

In connection with the use of information society services—and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC—you may exercise your right to object by automated means using technical specifications.
9.8 Right to withdraw consent under data protection law
You have the right to withdraw your consent under data protection law at any time. The lawfulness of processing carried out on the basis of the consent up to the time of withdrawal shall not be affected by the withdrawal.
9.9 Automated individual decision-making, including profiling
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing—including profiling—which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision
(1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between you and the controller,
(2) is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or
(3) is based on your explicit consent.
However, such decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data referred to in Article 9(1) GDPR, unless Article 9(2)(a) or (g) GDPR applies and suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests have been taken.
In the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the controller shall implement suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express your point of view and to contest the decision.
9.10 Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the GDPR.
The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant of the progress and the outcome of the complaint including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Article 78 GDPR.
