"processing" of personal data covers any process or series of operations performed with or without the aid of automated procedures, including the collection, storage, adaptation or modification, dissemination or deletion of personal data.
We process the personal data of the users of our Internet page only on the basis of the
Art. 6 (1) a GDPR, ie the processing takes place on the basis of the consent of the data subject;
Art. 6 (1) b GDPR, ie the processing is necessary to fulfill a contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures;

Art. 6 (1) d GDPR, ie the processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another actual person;
Art. 6 (1) f GDPR, ie the processing is necessary for the protection of a legitimate interest of Perseus or a third party and this outweighs the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the person concerned.
The personal data of the person/s concerned will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of its storage is removed. However, it may also be stored if so provided for by the European or national legislature in EU regulations, laws or other regulations to which Perseus
is subject. This applies in particular if there are commercial or tax-related retention requirements. Upon expiry of such a statutory retention period, the data will be blocked or deleted, unless a further storage of legitimate interest is required, in particular for the conclusion of a contract or the fulfillment of a contract.
