General information on data processing

1. Scope of processing personal data

I only process personal data of users of my website to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and its content and services. The processing of users' personal data is generally only carried out with the user's consent. An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for practical reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.

2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Insofar as I obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, the GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to fulfil a legal obligation to which I am subject, the GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.

In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, the GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of mine or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interest, the GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.

3. Data deletion and storage period

The personal data of the data subject will be deleted as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Storage may also take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. The data will also be 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.

Provision of the website and creation of log files

1. Description and scope of data processing

Each time my website is accessed, the system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the accessing computer.

The following data is collected:

  1. Information about the browser type and version used
  2. The user's operating system
  3. The user's Internet service provider
  4. The user's IP address
  5. Date and time of access
  6. Websites from which the user's system accesses my website
  7. Websites accessed by the user's system via my website

2. Purpose of data processing

The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the website to be delivered to the user's computer. For this purpose, the user's IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session.

3. Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

4. Duration of storage

The hosting provider stores log files with non-anonymised IP addresses for a maximum of 7 days. The non-anonymised IP addresses are not visible to me as the website operator. Statistics and long-term stored logs are based exclusively on anonymised data.

5. Right to object and right to erasure

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is essential for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility for the user to object.

Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes the GDPR.

The supervisory authority to which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant of the progress and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Article 78 of the GDPR.
