​II. General information on data processing
​
1. Scope of processing of personal data
In principle, we only process the personal data of our users to the extent that this is necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. The processing of personal data of our users takes place regularly only with the consent of the user. An exception applies in such cases in which it is not possible to obtain prior consent for actual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by statutory provisions.
2. Legal basis for processing personal data
​
Insofar as we obtain the consent of the person concerned for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a EU General Data Protection Regulation serves (GDPR) as the legal basis.
​
When processing personal data that is required to fulfill a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 5cde-3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_b GDPR as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures.
​
Insofar as processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit._cc781905-5cde-3194-bb3b serves -136bad5cf58d_c GDPR as the legal basis.
​
In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit._cc781905-5cde -3194-bb3b-136bad5cf58d_d DSGVO as the legal basis.
​
If processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the person concerned do not outweigh the first interest, Art. 6 Abs. bb3b-136bad5cf58d_1 lit. f GDPR as the legal basis for processing.
​
3. Data Erasure and Storage Duration
​
The personal data of the person concerned will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Storage can also take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other regulations to which the person responsible is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the standards mentioned expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.

​
It may happen that content from third parties is included in our website, for example YouTube videos, material from Google Maps, RSS feeds or graphics from other websites. As a rule, this requires that the providers of this content perceive the IP address of the user, since no content can be sent to the browser of the respective user without the IP address. The IP address is therefore required for the display of this content. The operator has no influence on whether and how third-party providers save IP addresses.
