2. Scope and Processing of Personal Data, Legal Basis and Provision of Data, Duration of Storage

2.1 Access and Use of the Website

Any time you access the website, your user data will be transferred via your web browser and stored in server logfiles. These data records contain the following data:

Date and time of access
Name of the website
IP-address
Referrer URL (origin URL from which you came to the website)
Quantity of transferred data
Product and version information of the browser used

The log files are analysed by the operator in anonymised form to continue to improve the website and make it more user-friendly, to detect and rectify errors more quickly and to control server capacities. For example, the operator can determine the preferred times of access to the website and thus make available appropriate data volumes. The Controller needs the data in order to grant access to the website. The processing is necessary during the access. The legal admissibility of such processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 f) GDPR according to which processing is lawful when it is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the Controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data. The legitimate interests of the controller involve the provision of a website to convey inform and offer services via the internet. Provision of the data is necessary to invoke the operator's website. Failure to provide the data means that the content of the website can no longer be viewed. The provision of the data is neither required by law nor by contract. However, it is necessary to invoke the operators website. Failure to provide means that the website can no longer be invoked and the operator's services cannot be utilised. Your IP address is deleted or anonymised upon termination of use. Anonymisation means the IP address is altered so that it cannot or can only with a disproportionate investment of time, cost and labour be attributed to a particular or identified or identifiable natural person.

Cookies do not contain any data that identifies you personally, but the information about you stored by the operator can be assigned to the data obtained from and stored in the cookies.

Individual design of the website concerning the needs of the user.

Cookies do not cause any damage to a browser. They do not contain viruses and do not allow the operator to spy on you. Two types of cookies are used:

Temporary cookies are automatically deleted when you close your browser (session cookies).
Persistent cookies, on the other hand, have a maximum lifespan of up to 20 days. This type of cookie enables you to be recognised when you return to the website after leaving it.

With the help of cookies, the operator is able to track your usage behaviour for the above-mentioned purposes and to the corresponding extent. They are also intended to enable you to optimise your surfing on the operator's website. The operator also only collects this data in anonymised form.

The permissibility of this processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 f) GDPR, according to which processing is lawful if it is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data. The legitimate interest of the operator lies in the provision of a website with information and the offering of services to its customers as well as the optimisation of website operation.

The provision of data is neither legally nor contractually required. However, it is necessary in order to be able to access the operator's website. Failure to provide the data means that the website cannot be accessed.

3.2 Contact form and e-mail on click (Art. 6 para. 1 b) GDPR)

The permissibility of this processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 b) GDPR, according to which processing is lawful if it is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract.

The provision of the data is neither legally nor contractually required. The consequence of not providing the data is that the operator cannot send you any advertising.

In the case of direct advertising to customers, Section 7 (3) UWG forms the legal basis, according to which unreasonable harassment is not to be assumed for advertising using electronic mail in the cases specified therein. You can object to this use at any time without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic rates.

If you no longer wish to receive recommendations or advertising messages in general, you can object to this at any time. A message in text form to the operator is sufficient for this. There is also an unsubscribe link in every e-mail.
