2. General information on data processing

2.1 Scope of processing of personal data


As a general rule, we only collect and use our users' personal data when necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. Personal data is generally collected and used only with the user's consent. However, there are exceptions in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for practical reasons and data processing is permitted by law.

2.2 Legal basis for the processing of personal data


When processing personal data, we obtain the consent of the data subject where necessary. Article 6 (1) (a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis for processing personal data.

Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR provides the legal basis for processing personal data necessary to fulfill a contract to which the data subject is a party. This provision also applies to processing operations related to pre-contractual measures.

If 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.

If vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require processing of personal data, Article 6 (1) (d) GDPR applies.

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


2.3 Data deletion and storage period


The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for which they were stored no longer applies. Storage will also end if European or national laws, EU regulations, or other provisions to which the controller is subject so stipulate. Furthermore, storage may be carried out by the controller to comply with legal requirements.

Data will also be blocked or deleted if the storage period specified by the aforementioned standards has expired. Exceptions may, however, exist in situations where further storage of the data is necessary for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract. This underscores the need for continued data retention in the context of contract negotiations or for the fulfillment of existing contracts.


3. Provision of the website and creation of log files


3.1 Description and scope of data processing


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

When you visit our website, our system automatically collects information from the visitor’s computer system.

The following data is collected:


  • 1. Browser type and version used
  • 2. User's operating system
  • 3. User's IP address
  • 4. Date and time of access
  • 5. Websites that led to access to our site
  • 6. Websites accessed by the user system via our site

The collected data is stored in our system's log files. The IP address is truncated (IPv4 to the first two bytes, IPv6 to the first 32 bits) so that no personal profiles can be created. This data is not stored together with other personal information about the user.


3.2 Legal basis for data processing


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


3.3 Purpose of data processing


In order to deliver the website to the user's computer, our system temporarily stores the user's IP address during the session.


Storage in log files is necessary to ensure the functionality of the website. This data also helps us optimize the website and ensure the security of our information technology systems. The data is not evaluated for marketing purposes.


This processing serves our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR and has the aforementioned purposes in mind.


3.4 Duration of storage


Our systems automatically collect data from the user's computer when they access our website. Information such as browser type, version, operating system, IP address, date and time of access, and the pages visited are logged.


The collected data is stored in log files, with the IP address being truncated after collection (IPv4 to the first two bytes, IPv6 to the first 32 bits). This data is not stored together with other personal user data.


The temporary storage of the IP address is necessary to deliver the website to the user. This data also serves to ensure website functionality, optimize our site, and protect our IT systems. No evaluation for marketing purposes takes place, and our legitimate interest in data processing arises from these purposes in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR.


3.5 Possibility of objection and removal


In order to provide the website and ensure its smooth operation, the collection of data for website provision and its storage in log files is absolutely necessary. Therefore, the user has no option to object to this data collection.


4. Use of cookies


The website does not use cookies that require consent


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 to information


You have the right to obtain confirmation from the controller as to whether we process personal data concerning you.


If your consent is positive, you have the right to receive the following information from the controller:


  • 1. the purposes for which the personal data are processed;
  • 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;
  • 4. the planned duration for which the personal data concerning you will be stored or, if specific information is not possible, the criteria for determining that duration;
  • 5. the existence of a right to rectification or erasure of personal data concerning you, a right to restriction of processing by the controller or a right to object to such processing;
  • 6. the existence of a right of appeal to a supervisory authority;
  • 7. all available information as to their source where the personal data are not collected from the data subject;
  • 8. the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in Article 22(1) and (4) GDPR and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject.

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


The right to information may be restricted if it is likely to make the realisation of the research or statistical purposes impossible or seriously compromise it and the restriction is necessary to fulfil the research or statistical purposes.


5.2 Right to rectification


You have the right to request the controller to rectify and/or complete the personal data concerning you that are inaccurate or incomplete. The controller is obliged to carry out the rectification immediately.


However, your right to rectification may be restricted if doing so is likely to make the achievement of the research or statistical purposes impossible or seriously compromise it and the restriction is necessary to achieve those purposes.


5.3 Right to restriction of processing


Under certain circumstances, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data:


  • 1. If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data and verification by the controller is possible.
  • 2. If the processing is unlawful, but you do not request the deletion but the restriction of the use of your data.
  • 3. If the controller no longer needs your data for the purposes of processing, but you need it to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
  • 4. If you have objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR and it has not yet been determined whether the legitimate reasons of the controller outweigh your reasons.

If your personal data is restricted, it may – apart from storage – only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or to protect 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 is made in accordance with the aforementioned conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.


However, your right to restrict processing may be restricted if doing so is likely to make the achievement of the research or statistical purposes impossible or seriously compromise it and the restriction is necessary to fulfil those purposes.


5.4 Right to erasure


5.4.1 Obligation to delete

You have the right to request the controller to erase your personal data without undue delay, and the controller is obliged to erase such data without undue delay where one of the following reasons applies:


  • 1. Your personal data are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
  • 2. You withdraw your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) or Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR and there is no other legal basis 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. Your personal data has been processed unlawfully.
  • 5. The erasure of your personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.
  • 6. Your personal data was collected in relation to information society services offered in accordance with Art. 8 (1) GDPR.

5.4.2 Information to third parties

If the controller has made your personal data public and is obliged to erase it pursuant to Art. 17 (1) GDPR, he shall take appropriate measures, including technical ones, taking into account the available technology and the implementation costs. These measures should make it clear to other controllers who also process your personal data that you, as the data subject, have requested the erasure of all links to these data or of copies and replications of these data.


5.4.3 Exceptions

The right to erasure does not apply if processing is necessary:


  1. 1. to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information;
  2. 2. to fulfil a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject or to perform a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
  3. 3. for reasons of public interest in the area of public health pursuant to Art. 9 (2) (h) and (i) and Art. 9 (3) GDPR;
  4. 4. for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) GDPR, provided that the right to erasure is likely to make the achievement of the objectives of that processing impossible or seriously compromise it; or
  5. 5. to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

5.5 Right to information


If you have asserted your right to rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing vis-à-vis the controller, the controller is obligated to inform all recipients to whom your personal data was disclosed of the rectification, erasure, or restriction of processing. This applies unless such notification proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort.


You have the right to receive information about these recipients from the controller.


5.6 Right to data portability


You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to the controller in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. Furthermore, you have the right to transmit these data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data was provided, provided that:


  • 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 using automated procedures.

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 freedoms and rights of others.


The right to data portability does not apply to the 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 of objection


You have the right to object at any time, for reasons related to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is carried out on the basis of Article 6 (1) (e) or (f) GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.


The controller will no longer process the personal data concerning you unless he can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or unless the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.


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


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


In connection with the use of information society services, you have the option of exercising your right of objection by means of automated procedures that use technical specifications, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC.


You also have the right to object, for reasons related to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89 (1) GDPR.


Your right of objection may be restricted to the extent that it is likely to make the realisation of the research or statistical purposes impossible or seriously compromise it and the restriction is necessary to fulfil the research or statistical purposes.


5.8 Right to revoke the data protection consent declaration


You have the right to revoke your consent to data protection at any time. Revoking your consent does not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of your consent up to the time of revocation.


5.9 Automated decision-making in individual cases, including profiling


You have the right not to be subjected to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects or significantly affects you. Unless the decision is:


  1. 1. necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the controller,
  2. 2. is permitted by Union or Member State law which contains appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, or
  3. 3. with your express consent.

However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9 (1) GDPR, unless Art. 9 (2) (a) or (g) applies and appropriate measures to protect your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests have been taken.


In these cases, the controller shall implement appropriate measures to protect your rights, freedoms, and legitimate interests. This includes, at least, the right to express your point of view, to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, and to contest the decision.


5.10 Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority


Notwithstanding any other administrative or judicial action, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your residence, place of work or of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of your personal data 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 pursuant to Article 78 GDPR.
