As a matter of principle, we will only process your personal data to the extent that is necessary to provide our services. Any processing of your personal data is, as a rule, subject to your prior consent, except in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons or the processing of your personal data is permitted by law.
In cases where we seek your consent to process personal data, the legal basis for doing so is set out in Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR.
In cases where we process personal data in the execution of a contract between you and us, the legal basis for doing so is set out in Art. 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. This also applies to processing operations necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.
In cases where personal data must be processed to comply with a legal obligation that we are subject to, the legal basis for doing so is set out in Art. 6(1)(c) of the GDPR.

In addition, data may be stored to meet the legal obligations stipulated by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other standards that we are subject to.

Your personal data will be deleted once they are no longer required for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed. In cases where your personal data are collected for the purpose of providing the website, they will be deleted each time a session ends.
If personal data are stored in log files, they will be deleted after fourteen days at the latest. In some cases data may be stored for a longer period of time, in which case your personal data will be deleted or masked, thus making identification of the requesting client impossible.

The legal basis for processing your personal data in the context of using cookies required for technical purposes is set out in Art. 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.
