Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

Social Media

 

We do not collect any personal data ourselves by means of the social plugins shown or through their use because we use simple links or 2-click solutions. This serves to prevent data from being transferred to the service providers without the user's knowledge. Such a transfer only takes place when the link has been used and a login has been carried out in the user profile. A connection to the respective platform is then established. Data can then be transferred to the service provider and stored there in order to link interests and offers. The following providers are available:

 

 

Registration and Login

 

You have the possibility to register on our website and log in. In doing so, you will be requested to provide us with the personal data that can be seen from the input masks, which will then be transmitted to us. This data is collected and stored by us exclusively for internal use and for our own purposes. We may arrange for this data to be passed on to third parties, e.g. to a service provider or an order processor to process the contractual relationship, who also uses the personal data exclusively for internal use attributable to us.

 

By registering and logging in to our website, your IP address, the date as well as the time of registration can also be saved. This is done for the purpose of preventing misuse of our services and, if necessary, creating the opportunity to investigate criminal offences.

Legal Bases

 

We collect and process your personal data exclusively on a legal basis, in particular on the basis of the General Data Protection Regulation of the European Union (GDPR).

 

If we obtain your consent for processing operations for specific processing purposes, the legal basis for processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR.

 

If we need your personal data in order to fulfil a contract concluded with you (e.g. delivery of goods, provision of services), the processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. This also applies to processes directly connected therewith, e.g. the processing of inquiries about our products, services or prices.

 

If we process your personal data based on statutory obligations, this is done on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR.

 

In the event that we need your personal data in order to protect your vital interests or those of another natural person, the processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR.

 

Regardless of the afore-mentioned legal bases, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR if the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest on our part or that of a third party, provided that your interests, fundamental rights and freedoms do not prevail.

 

Storage Time and Data Deletion

 

We delete or block personal data in accordance with the legal requirements as soon as they are no longer required for the purposes mentioned herein or a legally prescribed storage period expires.

 

Data Transmission

 

We only pass on your personal data to third parties if:

 

  • you have given your express consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR,

  • this is legally permissible and, in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR, is necessary for the fulfilment of a contractual relationship with you or the implementation of pre-contractual measures,

  • under Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) GDPR there is a legal obligation to pass on the data,

  • we are required by law to transmit data to state authorities, e.g. tax authorities, social insurance agencies, health insurance companies, supervisory authorities and law enforcement agencies,

  • the transmission is necessary in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR in order to safeguard legitimate company interests and to assert, exercise or defend legal claims, and if there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding protectable interest in the non-disclosure of your data,

  • in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR, we use external service providers, so-called contract processors, who are obliged to handle your data with due care.

  • When transmitting data to external bodies in third countries, i.e. outside the EU, we ensure that these bodies will treat your personal data with the same care as they would within the EU.

 

We only transmit personal data to third countries with respect to which the EU Commission has confirmed an adequate level of protection, or if we ensure the careful handling of personal data by means of contractual agreements or other suitable guarantees. Nevertheless, it should be noted that no comparable level of data protection as in the EU can be guaranteed across the board. In these cases, we therefore try to take appropriate measures to ensure the security of your data.
