III. General information on data processing

1. Scope of processing of personal data

As a matter of principle, we process personal data of our users only to the extent that this is necessary for the provision of a functional website as well as our content and services. The processing of personal data of our users is usually only carried out with the consent of the user. An exception applies in cases where it is not possible to obtain prior consent for factual reasons and the processing of the data is required by law.

2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

When obtaining the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis.

Where the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.

Where the processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfilment of a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c 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, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, and such interest does not override the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data, , Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

3. Legal basis for the processing of data on your terminal equipment

The legal basis for the use of strictly necessary cookies and related data processing is § 25 (2) TTDSG in conjunction with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. The purpose of the processing is to make it easier for you to use our website and to be able to offer you our services as requested. Some functions of our website do not work without the use of these cookies and could therefore not be offered if they would not be in place. Our legitimate interest in processing cookies arises from the aforementioned purposes. The cookies are deleted at the end of each session (e.g. logging out or closing the browser) or after the expiry of a specific period of time.

The legal basis for the use of non-strictly necessary cookies is your consent, which you have given us via the cookie banner in accordance with § 25 (1) TTDSG in conjunction with Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR. For these services, you can revoke your consent at any time with future effect or subsequently give it again. This can be done by accessing your settings for cookies and privacy online via our data protection information and configuring them accordingly. Alternatively, you can prevent the storage of cookies by selecting the appropriate settings in your browser software. Please note that the browser settings you have made only apply to the browser you are using. For more detailed information, please refer to the descriptions below.

4. Data deletion and storage period

The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for which it was stored no longer applies. In addition, storage may take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other regulations to which the controller is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract.

The following data is collected:

2. Purpose of data processing

The data is stored in log files in order to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, we use the data to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. In this context, the data is not evaluated for marketing purposes.

This storage and access to the information in your terminal equipment serves to make it easier for you to use our website and to be able to offer you our services as you have requested.

4. Duration of storage, possibility of objection and removal

You can withdraw your consent at any time by clicking on the button in the bottom left corner of the website.

Cookies are stored on the user's computer and transmitted by the user to our site. Therefore, as a user, you also have full control over the use of cookies.

This can also be done automatically. If cookies are deactivated for our website, it may no longer be possible to use all functions of the website to their full extent.

X. Hosting

The website is hosted on servers by a service provider commissioned by us.

Our service provider is:

Microsoft Azure

The servers automatically collect and store information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits when you visit the website. The information stored is:

Browser type and browser version

Operating system used

Referrer URL

Host name of the accessing computer

Date and time of the server request

IP address

This data is not combined with other data sources. This data is collected on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest in processing this data is to display our website without errors and to optimize its functions.

The website server is geographically located in the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA).

XI. Geoload Balancing

We use geoload balancing on our website.

Purpose of data processing:

Geoload balancing is the process of redistributing application traffic to data centers in different locations for maximum efficiency and security. Users are automatically redirected to the server that suits them.

Scope of data processing:

Geoload balancing is carried out by our cloud hosting provider Microsoft Azure (Azure Front Door), with whom we have concluded a data processing agreement. The locations of the servers to which users are directed are located in Western Europe (Amsterdam) and the United States (Texas). Microsoft Corporation is certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework and therefore offers an adequate level of data protection recognized by the EU Commission. For technical reasons, Azure Front Door has access to all http traffic (domains, referrer, user agent, etc.). The data is stored without any user reference.

Legal basis for processing:

The legal basis for the processing is our legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) to ensure the availability and functionality of the website.

Duration of storage:

The data collected will be stored for up to 90 days.
You can prevent geoload balancing, for example, by using a VPN or proxy server that prevents accurate localization. In addition, depending on the browser you are using, you can also deactivate location localization in the corresponding browser settings (if the respective browser supports this).

XII. Registration

As part of our registration process, we use geo-location. Geolocation is used to pre-select the country from the drop-down menu via the user's IP address as part of the registration process. The legal basis for the processing of the IP address and, as a result, of the country as part of the registration process is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR, based on our legitimate interest in clearly and correctly identifying the user's country for tax purposes.

In this case, a part of the IP address as well as the additional information provided by the user are only read out and not stored separately.

This feature is a convenience feature of our registration process. You are not obliged to keep the pre-selected country in your profile. You can change this at any time in the dropdown of your account.

On our website, we offer users the opportunity to register by providing personal data. The data is entered into an input mask and transmitted to us and stored. The data will not be passed on to third parties. The following data is collected as part of the registration process:
