2. Scope of processing of personal data

In principle, I only process the personal data of my users to the extent that this is necessary to provide a functional website and my content and services. The processing of personal data of my users only takes place with the consent of the user. There is only an exception in cases in which prior consent cannot be obtained for actual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by statutory provisions.
 

3. Legal basis for processing personal data

Insofar as the data subject has consented to the processing of personal data, the legal basis is Article 6(1)(a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data required to fulfill a contract to which the data subject is party. This also applies to the processing of pre-contractual measures.

The legal basis for the processing of personal data that is required to fulfill a legal obligation to which I am subject is Article 6 (1) (c) GDPR.

In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another person make processing necessary, Article 6 Paragraph 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest on my part or that of a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the data subject do not prevail, Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f GDPR is the legal basis.

When processing data in accordance with Art. 9 Para. 1 GDPR, this article in conjunction with Section 22 Para. 1 No.  1 lit. b) Federal Data Protection Act (new) as the legal basis.

4. Provision of the website and creation of log files

  • Time and date of access

  • IP address of the user

  • Website accessed from

  • Name and URL of the retrieved file

  • Browser used and, if applicable, the operating system of your computer

The legal basis for this temporary storage of the data and the log files is Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

The data will be automatically deleted as soon as they are no longer required for the stated purpose.
