With this data protection notice, we inform you (also referred to as “user” or “data subject” in the following text) about our data processing in general, in the context of going to our website and regarding contacting us by e-mail or telephone. Furthermore, we inform you about your rights with regard to the processing of your data. Conceptually, “data processing” always refers to the processing of personal data.

1. General information on data processing

1.1 Categories of personal data

We process the following categories of personal data:

• Inventory data (e.g., names, addresses, functions, organisational affiliation etc.);

• Contact data (e.g., email, telephone/fax numbers etc.);

• Content data (e.g., text entries, image files, videos etc.);

• Usage data (e.g., access data);

• Meta/communication data (e.g., IP addresses).

1.2 Recipients or categories of recipients of personal data

If, in the course of our processing, we disclose data to other persons and companies such as web hosts, order processors or third parties, transmit it to them or otherwise grant them access to the data, this is done on the basis of a legal permission (e.g., if a transmission of the data to third parties is required for the performance of a contract pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR ), if the data subjects have consented or if a legal obligation provides for this.

1.3 Duration of the storage of personal data

The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of the period, the corresponding data is deleted if it is no longer required to achieve the purpose, performance of a contract or contract initiation.

1.4 Transfers to third countries

If we process data in a third country (i.e., outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA)) or if this is done in the context of using third-party services or disclosing or transferring data to third parties, this is only done if it is done to fulfil our (pre-)contractual obligations, on the basis of your consent, due to a legal obligation or on the basis of our legitimate interests. Subject to legal or contractual permissions, we only process data or have data processed in a third country upon existence of the special requirements of Art. 44 ff. GDPR, i.e., the processing is carried out, for example, on the basis of special guarantees, such as the officially recognised determination of a level of data protection corresponding to the EU or compliance with officially recognised special contractual obligations (so-called “standard contractual clauses”).
