III. General information on data processing

1. Scope of personal data processing

We process personal data of our users only insofar as this is necessary for the provision of a functional website and our content and services. The processing of personal data of our users is regularly only carried out with the consent of the user. An exception applies in those cases where obtaining prior consent is not possible for actual reasons and the processing of the data is required by legal regulations.

2. Legal basis for processing of personal data

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing operations involving personal data, Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. a DSGVO 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, Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. b DSGVO serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.

Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfillment of a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. c DSGVO serves as the legal basis.

In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person make it necessary to process personal data, Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. d DSGVO 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 freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f DSGVO serves as the legal basis for the processing.

3. Erasure of data and period stored

The personal data of the data subject shall be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage no longer applies. Storage may also take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in Union 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 performance of a contract.

IV. 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:

1. the right of access (Art. 15 GDPR)

In the context of unlawful processing, refuse to erase the personal data and instead request the restriction of the use of the personal data.
We no longer need your personal data for the purposes of processing, but you need your personal data for the assertion, exercise or defense of your legal claims or
after you have objected to the processing, for the duration of the examination as to whether our legitimate grounds override your grounds.

4. right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”) (Art. 17 GDPR)

If one of the following reasons applies, you have the right to request immediate deletion of your personal data:

Your data is no longer necessary for the processing purposes for which it was originally collected.
you withdraw your consent and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
You object to the processing and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing or you object pursuant to Art. 21 (2) DSGVO.
Your personal data is processed unlawfully.
The deletion is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the member state to which we are subject.

Please note that the above reasons do not apply insofar as the processing is necessary:

To fulfill a legal obligation or to perform a task that is in the public interest and to which we are subject.
For reasons of public interest in the area of public health.
For archival purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes, or statistical purposes.

You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data relating to you which is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. e or f DSGVO. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

If the personal data concerning you is processed for the purpose of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling, insofar as it is related to such direct marketing.

7. right to complain to a supervisory authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you consider that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the GDPR. The supervisory authority to which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant of the status and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Article 78 GDPR.

5. possibility of opposition

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is mandatory for the operation of the website. The user can object to this. Whether the objection is successful is to be determined in the context of a balancing of interests.

XII. Hosting

The website is hosted on servers of a service provider contracted by us.

We use the IP address and other information provided by the user (in particular zip code in the context of registration or ordering) for regional targeting (so-called “geotargeting”).

Regional targeting is used, for example, to automatically show you regional offers or advertising that are often more relevant to users. The legal basis for the use of the IP address and, if applicable, other information provided by the user (in particular zip code) is Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO, based on our interest in ensuring more precise targeting and thus providing offers and advertising with higher relevance for users.

In the process, part of the IP address and the additional information provided by the user (in particular zip code) are merely read out and not stored separately.

You can prevent geotargeting by, for example, using a VPN or proxy server that prevents precise localization. In addition, depending on the browser used, you can also deactivate location localization in the corresponding browser settings (insofar as the respective browser supports this).

We use geotargeting on our website for the following purposes:

1. duration of storage

Your personal information will be retained for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or as required by law.

2. transfer to third countries

When using the plugins marked with third country transfer or USA, personal data may be transferred to servers in third countries outside the EU, such as the USA. The legal basis for this transfer is consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. a DSGVO. The United States of America does not provide an adequate level of data protection based on a decision of the European Union. The essential risk of the transfer lies in the obligation of the plug-in providers to make user data accessible to American authorities under certain circumstances. An order processing agreement with standard contractual clauses is currently in place with all providers in order to make the third-country transfer as data-protection-friendly and secure as possible. Adjustments to the ECJ ruling of 16.07.2020 (Schrems II, ref. C-311/18) including additional security measures are currently being sought by us. A copy of the standard data protection clauses can be requested by sending us an informal email.

3. possibility of revocation

You have the right to revoke your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The revocation of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation. You can prevent the collection as well as the processing of your personal data by the respective providers by preventing the storage of third-party cookies on your computer, using the “Do Not Track” function of a supporting browser, deactivating the execution of script code in your browser or installing a script blocker such as NoScript (https://noscript.net/) or Ghostery (https://www.ghostery.com) in your browser.

2. Purpose of data processing
The purpose of data processing is to determine whether the user is a human being and at the same time to prevent misuse in this process.
3. Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the processing of users’ personal data is generally the consent of the user in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR.
4. Duration of storage
Your personal information will generally be stored for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this Privacy Policy or as required by law, e.g., for tax and accounting purposes.
