What is it about?
This data protection declaration meets the legal requirements for transparency in the processing of personal data. This is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, information such as your name, your age, your address, your telephone number, your date of birth, your e-mail address, your IP address or user behavior when visiting a website. Information that we cannot (or only with a disproportionate amount of effort) relate to your person, e.g. through anonymization, is not personal data. The processing of personal data (e.g. collection, querying, use, storage or transmission) always requires a legal basis and a defined purpose.
Stored personal data will be deleted as soon as the purpose of the processing has been achieved and there are no legitimate reasons for further storage of the data. We inform you in the individual processing operations about the specific storage periods or criteria for storage. Irrespective of this, we store your personal data in individual cases to assert, exercise or defend legal claims and if there are statutory storage obligations.
Who gets my data?
We only pass on your personal data that we process on our website to third parties if this is necessary for the fulfillment of the purposes and is covered by the legal basis (e.g. consent or protection of legitimate interests) in individual cases. In addition, we pass on personal data to third parties in individual cases if this serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims. Possible recipients can then be, for example, law enforcement agencies, lawyers, auditors, courts, etc.
Insofar as we use service providers for the operation of our website who process personal data on our behalf within the scope of order processing in accordance with Art. 28 DSGVO, these can be recipients of your personal data. More information on the use of processors and web services can be found in the overview of the individual processing operations.
