In order to guarantee this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.
We use the following terms in this privacy statement:
- Personal data
Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an on-line identifier or one or more specific characteristics expressing the physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person. - Affected person
Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the data controller (our company). - Processing
Processing means any operation or set of operations which is carried out with or without the aid of automated processes and which relates to personal data, such as collection, recording, organisation, sorting, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or association, qualification, erasure or destruction. - Constraint on processing
Limitation of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their future processing. - Processing
Processing means any operation or set of operations which is carried out with or without the aid of automated processes and which relates to personal data, such as collection, recording, organisation, sorting, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or association, qualification, erasure or destruction. - Constraint on processing
Limitation of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their future processing. - Profiling
Profiling is any automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects relating to the work performance, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, whereabouts or movements of that natural person. - Pseudonymization
Pseudonymisation means the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the provision of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures designed to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person. - Processor of orders
Processor means any natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller. - Recipient
The recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to whom personal data are disclosed, whether or not that person is a third party. However, authorities which may receive personal data under a particular investigation mandate under Union law or the law of the Member States shall not be considered as recipients. - Third
Third party means any natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons who, under the direct responsibility of the controller or the processor, are authorised to process the personal data. - Agreement
Consent shall mean any voluntary, informed and unambiguous expression by the data subject of his or her will in a particular case, in the form of a statement or other unequivocal affirmative act, indicating that he or she consents to the processing of his or her personal data.
5. legal basis of the processing
Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DS-GVO serves our company as legal basis for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose.
If the processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract to which you are a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations which are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of other services or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b DS-GVO. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, such as in cases of inquiries about our products or services.
If our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, for example to fulfil tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c DS-GVO.
In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect vital interests of the person concerned or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor to our site were injured and his name, age, health insurance information or other vital information would have to be disclosed to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d DS-GVO.
Finally, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DS-GVO. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the data subject do not predominate. Such processing operations are permitted to us in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, he was of the opinion that a legitimate interest could be assumed if you are a customer of our company (recital 47 sentence 2 DS-GVO).
6. Disclosure of data to third parties
No transfer of your personal data to third parties for purposes other than those listed below takes place.
We will only pass on your personal data to third parties if:
- you have given your express consent to this pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a DS-GVO,
- the passing on of your data is permissible pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f DS-GVO in order to safeguard our legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have a predominant interest worthy of protection in not passing on your data, the passing on of your data to third parties is permissible pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f DS-GVO for the protection of our legitimate interests and there is no reason to assume that you have a predominant interest worthy of protection in not passing on your data, the passing on of your data to third parties is not permitted.
- in the event that there is a legal obligation to pass on the data pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c DS-GVO, and
- this is legally permissible and according to Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. b DS-GVO necessary for the execution of contractual relationships with you.

The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by the person concerned.
