III. General information on data processing

1. Scope of processing of personal data
On principle, we collect and use personal data from our users only to the extent required for providing a functional website and presenting our contents and services. Personal user data is collected and used, as a rule, only with the user’s consent. An exception applies where such consent cannot be obtained beforehand for factual reasons and processing of the data is permitted by law.

2. Legal basis of processing of personal data
To the extent that we obtain the data subject’s consent to personal data processing operations, the legal basis for the processing of personal data is Art. 6 (1) (a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Where the processing of personal data is prerequisite to the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, Art. 6 (1)(b) of the GDPR forms the legal basis. This also holds true for processing operations necessary for carrying out pre-contractual steps.
To the extent that processing is required to fulfill a legal obligation incumbent on our company, Art. 6 (1)(c) of the GDPR forms the legal basis.
If processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest held by our company or a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, Art. 6 (1)(f) of the GDPR forms the legal basis for such processing.

3. Data erasure and storage period
The data subject’s personal data will be erased or blocked as soon as the purpose of storing it ceases to exist. Data may be stored beyond this period if permitted by European or national legislatures in Union directives, laws or other regulations to which the controller is subject. Data will also be blocked or erased if a storage time limit prescribed by the above-mentioned norms expires, save where a further storage of such data is prerequisite to the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.

IV. Provision of the website and log file generation

1. Description and scope of data processing
Whenever our website is accessed, our system automatically captures data and information from the user’s computer system. The following data are thus collected:

  1. Information about the browser type and version employed
  2. Operating system of the user’s computer
  3. User’s internet service provider
  4. User’s IP address
  5. Date and time of access
  6. Websites from which the user’s system is referred to our site
  7. Name and URL of the accessed file

The data will also be stored in our system’s log files. This does not apply to user IP addresses or other data that would make the user identifiable by reference thereto. Such data are not stored together with other personal user data.

On our web pages we employ so-called Google web fonts. This involves the loading of fonts from Google servers for the purpose of enhancing the presentation of the web page. Data processing is carried out on the basis of a weighing of interests, our own interest being to provide an appealing web page design (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
The relevant fonts are loaded from Google servers usually located in the U.S.A.
For more detailed information, refer to Google’s data protection information which can be accessed here:

This site uses the Google Maps map service via an API. It is operated by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
To use Google Maps, it is necessary to save your IP address. This information is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this site has no influence on this data transfer.

2. Legal basis of data processing
The legal basis for the temporary storage of data is Art. 6 (1)(f) of the GDPR.

3. Data processing purpose
The system’s temporary storage of the IP address is necessary to enable delivery of our website to the user’s computer. To this end, the user’s IP address must be stored for the duration of the session.
The use of Google Maps is in the interest of making our website appealing and to facilitate the location of places specified by us on the website.
It is in these purposes, moreover, that our legitimate interest in carrying out data processing under Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR resides.

4. Storage period
The data will be erased as soon as it is no longer needed for achieving the purpose of its collection. In the case of data captured to provide the website, this will be the case upon termination of the respective session.

5. Objection and removal option
The collection of data for purposes of providing the website and the storage of data in log files are essential to the operation of the website. Consequently, the user has no option to object thereto.
