3. General information on data processing

3.1 Scope of personal data processing

We only collect and use the personal data of our users insofar as this is necessary to provide a functional website as well as our contents and services. The collection and use of the personal data of our users regularly takes place only with the consent of the user. An exception applies in those cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for practical reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.

3.2 Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Insofar as we obtain your consent for the processing of personal data, point (a) of Article 6 (1) of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data.

Point (b) of Article 6 (1) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data required for the performance of a contract to which you are a party. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures.

Point (c) of Article 6 (1) GDPR serves as the legal basis insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject.

If processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, and your interests, fundamental rights and freedoms do not override the former interest, point (f) of Article 6 (1) serves as the legal basis for processing.

3.3 Data erasure and storage period

Personal data concerning you shall be erased or blocked as soon as the purchase of storage ceases to apply. Furthermore, data may be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which we are subject. The data shall also be blocked or erased if a storage period required by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further data storage for the conclusion or performance of a contract.

4. Provision of website and creation of log files

4.1 Description and scope of data processing

Every time you visit our web page, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the visiting computer.

The following data is collected here:

  • Information about the browser type and version used
  • The operating system of the user
  • The internet service provider of the user
  • The IP address of the user
  • Date and time of access
  • Websites from which the system of the user reaches our web page

This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.

4.2 Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is point (f) of Article 6 (1) GDPR.

4.3 Purpose of data processing

The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the website to be delivered to the computer of the user. For this to happen, the IP address of the user must remain stored for the duration of the session.

The data is stored in log files to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, the data serves to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not happen in this context.

Our legitimate interest in data processing pursuant to point (f) of Article 6 (1) GDPR also lies in these purposes.

4.4 Duration of storage

The data shall be erased as soon as it is no longer necessary to achieve the purchase for which it was collected.

Storage of data in the log files:
The IP address and the HTTP user agent are stored in plain text in the web server log files for a maximum of 6 weeks to detect and analyze attacks on our website.

Storage of data in our database:
An anonymous storage as hash is carried out in our database for 7 days in order to be able to assign and pay out the sales commission to our affiliates.

4.5 Possibility of objection and disposal

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. You therefore have no possibility of objection.

The data shall be used exclusively for sending the newsletter.

The other personal data processed during the sending process serve to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.

7.4 Duration of storage

The data is erased as soon as it is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. For the personal data sent by email, this is the case when the conversation with you has ended.

The additional personal data collected during the sending process shall be erased after a period of seven days at the latest.

7.5 Possibility of objection and disposal

You now have the possibility to revoke your consent to the processing of personal data at any time.

  • the processing is unlawful and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and request the restriction of their use instead;
  • we no longer need the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but you do need them for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, or
  • if you have objected to processing pursuant to Article 21 (1) GDPR pending the verification whether our legitimate grounds override your grounds.
