2. Explanations of terms

We have designed our data protection declaration according to the principles of clarity and transparency. However, if there are any ambiguities regarding the use of various terms, the relevant definitions can be found here

[https://dsgvo-gesetz.de/art-4-dsgvo/].

3. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

We only process your personal data, such as your surname and first name, your e-mail address and IP address, etc., if there is a legal basis for doing so.  Here, according to the General Data Protection Regulation, the following regulations in particular come into consideration:

- Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a DSGVO: The data subject has given consent to the processing of personal data relating to him or her for one or more specific purposes.

- Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b DSGVO: Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures taken at the request of the data subject.

- Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c DSGVO: Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject.

- Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. d DSGVO: Processing is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person

- Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. e DSGVO: processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller

- Article 6(1)(1)(f) DSGVO: processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests of the controller or a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require the protection of personal data, in particular where the data subject is a child.

However, at the relevant points in this data protection declaration, we will always point out once again the legal basis on which the processing of your personal data takes place.

4. Passing on personal data

The passing on of personal data is also processing in the sense of the previous point 3. However, we would like to inform you again separately at this point about the subject of passing on to third parties. The protection of your personal data is very important to us. For this reason, we are particularly careful when it comes to passing on your data to third parties.

We therefore only pass on data to third parties if there is a legal basis for the processing. For example, we share personal data with persons or companies that act as processors for us in accordance with Article 28 of the GDPR. A processor is anyone who processes personal data on our behalf - i.e. in particular in an instruction and control relationship with us.

In accordance with the requirements of the GDPR, we conclude a contract with each of our processors to oblige them to comply with data protection regulations and thus provide comprehensive protection for your data.

5. Storage period and deletion

Your personal data will be deleted by us if it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed, the processing is not necessary to exercise the right to freedom of expression and information, to comply with a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest or to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

6. SSL encryption

This site uses SSL encryption for reasons of security and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as enquiries that you send to us as site operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

If SSL encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
