The processing of personal data requires a legal basis, which we would like to present to you below.
For the processing of personal data for which we obtain the consent of the data subject, Article 6 paragraph 1 letter a of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) shall serve as the legal basis. For the processing of personal data which is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract, where its party to the contract is the data subject, Article 6 paragraph 1 letter b of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) shall serve as the legal basis. This includes processing operations necessary to perform pre-contractual measures.
If the processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfilment of a legal obligation, which our company is subject to, Article 6 paragraph 1 letter c of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) shall serve as the legal basis.
If the processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the data subject do not prevail over the first interest stated, then Article 6 paragraph 1 letter f GDPR shall serve as the legal basis for processing. The legitimate interest of our company is in the conduct of our business activities as well as in the analysis, optimisation and maintenance of the security of our online offer.
II. Log files, hosting

Data the further retention of which is required for evidentiary purposes shall be exempted from the deletion until the final clarification of the respective incident.

We only pass on data to third parties if this is necessary to fulfil the contract and/or we are statutorily obliged and/or entitled to do so in an individual case.
In some cases we make use of external service providers in accordance with our legitimate interests with regard to analysis, optimisation and economical operation of the online content. This always requires that the third-party providers of this content access the IP address of the users, due to the fact they could not send the content to their browsers without the IP address. The IP address is thus necessary for the presentation of this content. Third party providers may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also called "web beacons") for statistical or marketing purposes. Using “Pixel Tags” information such as user traffic can be evaluated on the pages of this website. The pseudonymous information may also be stored in cookies on the user's device and may include, among other things, technical information similar to the logfiles. We have listed our service providers below.
