  5. General information on data processing
    1. Scope of processing of personal data
    2. We generally only process our users' personal data to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. Our users' personal data is generally processed only with the user's consent. An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for practical reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.

    3. Legal basis for the processing of personal data
    4. To the extent that we obtain consent from the data subject for processing personal data, article 6 (1) (a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.

      For the processing of personal data necessary to fulfill a contract to which the data subject is a party, article 6 (1) (b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations necessary to implement pre-contractual measures.

      To the extent that processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which our company is subject, article 6 (1) (c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

      In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, article 6 (1) (d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

      If processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the aforementioned interest, article 6 (1) (f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.

    5. Data deletion and storage period
    6. The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for which they were stored no longer applies. Storage may also occur if this has been provided for by European or national legislators in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the person responsible is subject. Blocking or deletion of data will also occur if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.

  9. Web analysis by Matomo
    1. Scope of processing of personal data
    2. We use the open-source software tool Matomo (formerly PIWIK) on our website to analyze the browsing behavior of our users. The software places a cookie on the user's computer (see above for information on cookies). When individual pages of our website are accessed, the following data is stored:

      1. Two bytes of the IP address of the user's calling system
      2. The website accessed
      3. The website from which the user accessed the requested website (referrer)
      4. The subpages that are accessed from the website you are visiting
      5. The length of time spent on the website
      6. The frequency of visits to the website

      The software runs exclusively on the servers of our web hosting provider. Users' personal data is stored only there. The data can be processed by us and the web hosting provider. The data is not shared with third parties.

      The software is configured so that the IP addresses are not stored in their entirety, but rather two bytes of the IP address are masked (e.g., 192.168.xxx.xxx). This makes it impossible to assign the shortened IP address to the accessing computer.

    3. Legal basis for the processing of personal data
    4. The legal basis for the processing of users’ personal data is article 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

    5. Reasons for data processing
    6. The processing of users' personal data enables us to analyze their surfing behavior. By evaluating the data obtained, we are able to compile information about the use of the individual components of our website. This helps us to continuously improve our website and its user-friendliness. These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in processing the data pursuant to article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. By anonymizing the IP address, the user's interest in the protection of their personal data is sufficiently taken into account.

    7. Duration of storage
    8. The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer needed for our recording purposes. In our case, this is after 6 months.

    9. Possibility of objection and removal of data
    10. Cookies are stored on the user's computer and transmitted from there to our website. Therefore, you as the user have full control over the use of cookies. By changing the settings in your internet browser, you can deactivate or restrict the transmission of cookies. Cookies that have already been stored can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. If cookies are deactivated for our website, it may no longer be possible to fully use all of the website's functions.
