2. General Information on Data Processing

2.1 Scope of Processing Personal Data

We process personal data of our users only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website, as well as our content and services. The processing of personal data of our users takes place regularly only after the user’s consent. An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for practical reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.

2.2 Legal Basis for Processing

Insofar as we obtain consent from the data subject for processing operations of personal data, Art. 6(1)(a) GDPRserves as the legal basis. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. If processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation, Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR applies. If processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by us or a third party, and if these interests are not overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

2.3 Data Erasure and Storage Period

The personal data of the data subject will be erased or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Storage may be extended if required by European or national legislation in EU regulations, laws, or other directives to which the controller is subject.


3. Collection of General Data and Information (Server Log Files)
Each time the website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the calling device. The following data may be collected:
• Information about the browser type and version used
• The user’s operating system
• The user’s internet service provider
• The user’s IP address
• Date and time of access
• Websites from which the user’s system accesses our website
• Websites that are accessed by the user’s system via our website

This data is stored in the log files of our server. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user. The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to deliver the website to the user’s computer. This data is not used for marketing purposes.

Legal Basis: Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in ensuring the stability and security of our website.


4. Contact via E-mail or Other Means
If you contact us (e.g., via e-mail), the personal data transmitted by you (e.g., name, e-mail address, any message content) will be stored for the purpose of processing your request. We do not share this data with third parties without your consent unless legally required.

Legal Basis: Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (if your inquiry is related to concluding a contract) or Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (if based on our legitimate interest in properly responding to inquiries).
