4. General Information on Data Processing

4.1 Scope of Personal Data Processing

We generally process users’ personal data only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website as well as our content and services. Personal data is usually only processed with the user’s consent. An exception applies where prior consent cannot be obtained for practical reasons and data processing is permitted by law.

 

4.2 Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data

Where we obtain consent for processing personal data, Article 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

Where processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, Article 6(1)(b) GDPR applies. This also applies to processing necessary for pre-contractual measures.

Where processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, Article 6(1)(c) GDPR applies.

Where processing is necessary to protect vital interests of the data subject or another natural person, Article 6(1)(d) GDPR applies. Where processing is necessary for the purposes of legitimate interests pursued by our company or a third party, and these interests are not overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR applies.

 

4.3 Data Erasure and Storage Duration

Personal data will be erased or blocked as soon as the purpose for storage no longer applies. Storage may continue where required by European or national legislation or other legal provisions. Data will also be blocked or erased when a legally prescribed storage period expires, unless further storage is necessary for contract conclusion or fulfilment.
