The legal basis of data protection can be found in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Federal Data Protection Act (FDPA) and the Telemedia Act (TMA).
Our website can be visited without registration. During your visit, data such as pages accesed or names of the accessed file, date and time are stored on the server for statistical purposes, without this data being directly related to you. Personal data, in particular name, address or e-mail address are collected on a voluntary basis.
Personal data is information that helps us identify a person, hence data that can be traced back to a person. This includes the name, email address or phone number. Also, data about preferences, hobbies, memberships or which websites were viewed by someone belong to personal data. Personal data is only collected, used and passed on by the provider if this is permitted by law or if the users consent to the data collection.
Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing of personal data, Art. 6(1) a GDPR serves as a legal foundation. In the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a contract of which the data subject is a party, Art. 6(1) b GDPR serves as legal basis. This also applies to processing operations required to carry out pre-contractual actions. Insofar as processing of personal data is required to fulfill a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6(1) c GDPR also applies as legal foundation. In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6(1) d GDRP applies. If processing is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of our company or a third party, and if the interests, fundamental rights and basic freedoms of the data subject do not prevail over the first interest, Art. 6(1) f GDPR applies as legal basis for the processing. The legitimate interest of our company lies in the execution of our business activities.
