We generally only collect and use the personal data of our users if doing so is necessary to provide them with a functional website as well as content and services. The personal data of our users is generally only collected and used after they have given their consent. This does not include cases in which, for practical reasons, the participant’s prior consent cannot be obtained and processing the data is permitted under statutory regulations.
If the consent of the data subject is required to process personal data, Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR shall serve as the legal basis for processing personal data.
If processing personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, then Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR shall serve as the legal basis. This also applies to processing that is necessary to take steps prior to entering into a contract.
If processing personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, then Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR shall serve as the legal basis.
If the processing is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person, then Art. 6(1)(d) GDPR shall serve as the legal basis.
If processing the personal data is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests of our company or a third party and if the interests and fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh those of our company, then Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR shall serve as the legal basis.
The data subject’s personal data will be deleted or blocked once the reason it was saved no longer exists. The personal data may be saved beyond this point if required under European or national regulations, laws or other statutory provisions to which the Controller is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a retention period specified under one of the aforementioned statutory provisions expires, unless it is necessary to continue to store the data in order to conclude or perform a contract.
This anonymous data is stored separately from any other personal data we have on file for you and therefore cannot be used to ascertain the identity of a particular person. It is analyzed for statistical purposes in order to optimize our website and our offering.
The legal basis for storing the data and the log files is Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary in order to enable the provision of the website to the user’s computer. Doing so requires the storage of the user’s IP address for the duration of the session.

These purposes also include our legitimate interest to data processing pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
The data will be deleted when it is no longer necessary for achieving the purpose for which it was collected. If the data was collected in order to provide the website, this will be the case when the session is ended.
If the data is stored in log files, then this will be the case no later than after days. Data may be stored longer than this. In this case, the IP addresses of the user will be deleted or anonymized so that they can no longer be associated with the accessing client.
The collection of the data to provide the website and the storage of the data in log files is necessary to operate the website. Consequently, the user has not right to object.
Data that proves the user’s profession, training, studies, etc.

The data will be deleted when it is no longer necessary for achieving the purpose for which it was collected.
