1. General Information on Data Processing

1.1 Scope of Processing Personal Data

I generally only process personal data of my users to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and my content and services. The processing of personal data of my users takes place regularly only with the consent of the user. An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.

1.2 Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data

Insofar as I obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.

When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures.

Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which my company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis.

In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person make the processing of personal data necessary, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of my company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject do not override the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.

1.3 Data Deletion and Storage Duration

The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Storage may also take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws, or other provisions to which the controller is subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.

2. Provision of the Website and Creation of Log Files

2.1 Description and Scope of Data Processing

Each time my website is accessed, my system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the accessing computer.

The following data is collected:

  • Information about the browser type and version used
  • The user's operating system
  • The user's IP address
  • Date and time of access
  • Websites from which the user's system accesses my website

The data is also stored in the log files of my system. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.

2.2 Legal Basis for Data Processing

The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

2.3 Purpose of Data Processing

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

The storage in log files is done to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, I use the data to optimize the website and to ensure the security of my information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context.

These purposes also constitute my legitimate interest in data processing pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

2.4 Duration of Storage

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended.

In the case of storage of data in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. Further storage is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or alienated so that an assignment of the calling client is no longer possible.

2.5 Possibility 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, there is no possibility for the user to object.

3. Use of Cookies

This website does not use cookies.

4. Contact Form and Email Contact

4.1 Description and Scope of Data Processing

There is no contact form on my website that can be used for electronic contact. When contacting via email, the user's personal data transmitted with the email will be stored.

In this context, the data will not be passed on to third parties. The data is used exclusively for processing the conversation.

4.2 Legal Basis for Data Processing

The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of sending an email is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If the email contact aims at the conclusion of a contract, then the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

4.3 Purpose of Data Processing

The processing of personal data from the email serves me solely to process the contact. This also constitutes the necessary legitimate interest in the processing of the data.

4.4 Duration of Storage

The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. For personal data sent by email, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is ended when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified.

4.5 Possibility of Objection and Removal

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

All personal data stored in the course of contacting will be deleted in this case.

5. Rights of the Data Subject

If your personal data is processed, you are a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR and you have the following rights vis-à-vis the controller:

5.1 Right of Access

You can request confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed by me.

If such processing is taking place, you can request information from the controller about the following:

  2. the categories of personal data being processed;
  3. the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been or will be disclosed;

You have the right to request information about whether the personal data concerning you is transferred to a third country or to an international organization. In this context, you can request to be informed about the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR in connection with the transfer.

5.2 Right to Rectification

You have a right to rectification and/or completion vis-à-vis the controller if the processed personal data concerning you is inaccurate or incomplete. The controller must make the rectification without undue delay.

5.3 Right to Restriction of Processing

Under the following conditions, you can request the restriction of the processing of the personal data concerning you:

  2. the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and request the restriction of their use instead;
  3. the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but you need them for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims; or
  4. if you have objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR and it has not yet been determined whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override your grounds.

Where the 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 the restriction of processing has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.

5.4 Right to Erasure

5.4.1 Obligation to Erase

You can request the controller to erase the personal data concerning you without undue delay, and the controller is obliged to erase this 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.
  2. You withdraw your consent on which the processing is based according to Art. 6(1)(a) or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR, and there is no other legal ground for the processing.
  3. You object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR.
  4. The personal data concerning you have been unlawfully processed.
  5. The personal data concerning you have to be erased for compliance with a legal obligation in Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.
  6. The personal data concerning you have been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Art. 8(1) GDPR.

5.4.2 Information to Third Parties

Where the controller has made the personal data concerning you public and is obliged pursuant to Art. 17(1) GDPR to erase the personal data, the controller, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform controllers which are processing the personal data that you as the data subject have requested the erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data.

5.4.3 Exceptions

The right to erasure shall not apply 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;
  3. for reasons of public interest in the area of public health in accordance with Art. 9(2)(h) and (i) as well as Art. 9(3) GDPR;
  4. for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes, or statistical purposes in accordance with Art. 89(1) GDPR insofar as the right referred to in section 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.

5.5 Right to Notification

If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing against the controller, the controller is obliged to communicate this rectification or erasure of data or restriction of processing to all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.

You have the right vis-à-vis the controller to be informed about these recipients.

5.6 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. You also have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, where

  1. the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 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 shall 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.

5.7 Right to Object

You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you which is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions.

The controller shall no longer process the personal data concerning you unless the controller demonstrates compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights, and freedoms or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

Where personal data concerning you are processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.

If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you shall no longer be processed for such purposes.

In the context of 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.

5.8 Right to Withdraw Data Protection Consent

You have the right to withdraw your data protection consent at any time. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.

5.9 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 shall not apply if the decision

  1. is necessary for entering into, or 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, these decisions shall not be based on special categories of personal data referred to in Art. 9(1) GDPR, unless Art. 9(2)(a) or (g) GDPR applies and suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests are in place.

In the cases referred to in points (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.

5.10 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 relating to you infringes the GDPR.

The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant on the progress and the outcome of the complaint including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Art. 78 GDPR.
