1. We collect and utilise your personal data only insofar as this is necessary to provide a functioning website, our content and our services. We regularly collect and use your personal data, but only with your consent. An exception applies in cases in which circumstances prevent us from obtaining prior consent and the processing of the data is permitted by law.
  2. Insofar as we obtain the consent of the Data Subject for processing their personal data, section 6 paragraph 1 lit. a of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.  For the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, section 6 paragraph 1 lit. b of the GDPR serves as the legal basis. This principle shall also apply to the processing needed in order to implement pre-contractual measures. Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, the section 6 paragraph 1 lit. c of the GDPR serves as the legal basis. In the event that vital interests of the Data Subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, the section 6 paragraph 1 lit. d of the GDPR serves as the legal basis. If the said processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or of a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the person concerned do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, the section 6 paragraph 1 lit. f of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.
  3. Your personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for its storage no longer applies. In addition, the data may be stored if this has been provided for by European or national legislators in EU regulations, laws, or other provisions to which the data controller is subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned regulations has elapsed unless further storage of the data is necessary for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract.
