I. General information on data processing
1. Scope of processing of personal data
In principle, we only collect and use personal data from our users to the extent that this is necessary to provide a functioning website and our content and services. The collection and use of personal data of our users takes place regularly only with the consent of the user. An exception applies in such cases in which it is not possible to obtain prior consent for actual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by statutory provisions.
Our website is not directed to minors and we do not knowingly collect personal information from minors.
If persons under the age of 16 transmit personal data to us, this is only permitted if the legal guardian has consented or has consented to the consent of the young person. For this purpose, according to Art. 8 Para. 2 DSGVO, we must be given the contact details of the legal guardian in order to convince us of the consent or the consent of the legal guardian. This data and the data of the minor will then be processed in accordance with this data protection declaration.
If we discover that a minor under the age of 16 has sent us personal data without the consent of the legal guardian or the consent of the minor, we will delete the data immediately.
2. Legal basis for processing personal data
Insofar as 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 for the processing of personal data.
Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data required to fulfill a contract to which the data subject is a party. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures.
Insofar as processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Article 6 (1) (c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Article 6 Paragraph 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the person concerned do not outweigh the first interest, Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.
Pursuant to Article 21 GDPR, the data subject has the right, for reasons arising from his particular situation, to object at any time to the processing of personal data relating to him, which is based on Article 6 Paragraph 1 f GDPR (data processing on the basis of a weighing of interests) takes place to lodge an objection. If the data subject files an objection, the person responsible will no longer process his or her personal data, unless the person responsible can prove compelling legitimate reasons for the processing that outweigh the interests, rights and freedoms of the person concerned, or the processing serves to assert or exercise or defense of legal claims. The objection can be made in any form and can be addressed to the contact details given under Section I.
3. Data Erasure and Storage Duration
The personal data of the person concerned will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Storage can also take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other regulations to which the person responsible is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the standards mentioned expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.
