“Personal data” means the particulars concerning the personal or material circumstances of an identified or identifiable natural person.

 

2. Legal basis

We collect and process personal data on the following legal bases:

  • Consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). “Consent” means any voluntary, informed declaration of intent that is unambiguously given for a specific case in the form of a declaration or other clear confirming action with which the data subject signifies that they agree to the processing of the personal data concerning them.

  • We must process the data to meet legal obligations pursuant to Article 6(1)(c) GDPR. This means the data processing is compulsory (pursuant to a legal statute or other regulations, for example).

  • We must process the data to protect legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. This means the processing is necessary to protect our legitimate interests or those of a third party, unless those legitimate interests are outweighed by your interests or basic rights and freedoms that require the protection of personal data.

 

3. Rights of data subjects

Pursuant to the following articles of the General Data Protection Regulation, you have the following rights regarding the data processing we perform:

  • Right to information pursuant to Art. 15 GDPR—that is, the right to be informed about which of your personal data we are processing, and how,

  • Right to rectification pursuant to Art. 16 GDPR—that is, the right to demand that false or incomplete data concerning you be corrected or completed without undue delay,

  • Right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”) pursuant to Art. 17 GDPR—that is, the right to demand that your personal data be erased, if certain conditions are met,

  • Right to restriction of processing pursuant to Art. 18 GDPR—that is, the right to demand that the processing of your personal data be restricted, if certain conditions are met,

  • Right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20 GDPR—that is, the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, and the right to transmit that data to a third party, if certain conditions are met,

  • the right to object pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR—that is, the right to object to the processing of your personal data if the processing is based on our legitimate interests, if certain conditions are met.

​

Without prejudice to other administrative rights or the right to apply to the courts, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of the personal data concerning you breaches the GDPR; this particularly applies to supervisory authorities in the Member State of your abode or the place of the alleged breach.

 

4. Data erasure and storage duration

The personal data concerning the data subject will be erased or blocked as soon as the purpose for their storage no longer applies. The data may be stored beyond this point if European or national legislators have provided for this in regulations under Union law, statutes, or other regulations to which the controller is subject. The data will also be blocked or erased if a retention period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless continued storage is necessary in order for us to enter into or perform a contract.

 

II. Specific data processing

 

1. Data collection during visits to the website through our web server

a) Extent of the processing

When our website is visited, our web server collects and stores the following data:

  • The user’s IP address

  • Date and time of the access

  • Log file on errors or successful delivery

  • Websites from which the user’s system accesses our internet site.

​

Our hosting provider stores the data in our system’s log files within the European Union. That data will not be stored together with any of the user’s other personal data.

b) Legal basis

The data processing is legally based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

This means the legitimate interest for the purposes of Art. 6(1)(f) DSGVO is our website’s functionality and availability.

The processing by our hosting provider is legally based on Art. 28(3) GDPR.

c) Purpose of the data processing

The system must store the IP address temporarily so the website can be delivered to the user’s computer. To that end, the user’s IP address must remain stored during the session.

The data is stored to ensure the website is functional. And we use the data to optimize the website and ensure the security of our IT systems. The data is not evaluated for marketing purposes in this context.

d) Storage duration

The log files are anonymized by truncating the IP address unless the data must be retained further for the aforementioned purpose due to specific events. Archived log files will be erased after 356 days.

e) Option for objection and rectification

The collection of the data to provide the website and the storage of the data in log files is absolutely necessary to operate the internet site. Therefore, the user has no right to object.

 

b) Legal basis

The data processing is legally based on your express consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

c) Purpose of the data processing

If you respond to that request by giving your consent to the data capture by Matomo, a cookie will be placed for Matomo that allows your data to be collected during future visits to this website.  If you delete your cookies, the Matomo opt-in cookie will be deleted as well. So if you make another visit, you will be asked to provide your consent again so you can decide once more whether you wish to grant it. If you wish to revoke a consent you have granted, you can do so by deleting your cookies in your browser so that you will be asked again during your next visit.
