We process personal data of our users to the extent necessary to provide a fully functional website and our content and services. In addition, we process data (e.g. name, address, bank details) of our customers, interested parties and business partners for the purpose of providing contractual services, service and customer care.

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

When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Article 6(1)(b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.

If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

2.2. Data deletion and storage period

The personal data of the data subject shall be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage ceases to apply. In addition, storage may take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other provisions to which the person responsible is subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned provisions expires, unless there is a need to continue storing the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract.

responsible person,
