III. General information about data processing
1. Extent of processing of personal data
In principle, we collect and use personal data of our users only to the extent necessary for the provision of a functional website and our content and services. The collection and use of personal data of our users take place regularly only with the consent of the user. An exception applies to cases in which prior consent can not be obtained for reasons of fact and the processing of the data is permitted by law.

2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data
Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing of personal data, article 6 paragraph 1 littera (a) EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) as the legal basis for the processing of personal data. In the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, article 6 paragraph 1 littera (b) GDPR as legal basis. This also applies to processing operations required to carry out pre-contractual actions. Insofar as processing of personal data is required to fulfill a legal obligation that is subject to our company, article 6 paragraph 1 littera (c) GDPR as legal basis. In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, article 6 paragraph 1 littera (d) GDPR as legal basis. If processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of our company or a third party, and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail over the first interest, article 6 paragraph 1 littera (f) GDPR as legal basis for processing.

3. Data deletion and storage time
The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the storage is deleted. In addition, such storage may take place if provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other regulations to which the controller is subject. Blocking or deletion of the data also takes place when a storage period prescribed by the standards mentioned expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for conclusion of a contract or fulfillment of the contract.
