II. General Information on Data Processing
1. Scope of the Processing of Personal Data
We generally collect and use personal data of our users only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. The collection and use of personal data of our users regularly takes place only with the user’s consent. An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons and the processing of data is permitted by law.
2. Legal Basis for the Processing of Personal Data
If we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing operations involving personal data, Article 6(1)(a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.
When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of 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 required to carry out pre-contractual measures.
Where the processing of personal data is necessary to comply with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Article 6(1)(c) 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 override the aforementioned interest, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.
