§ 1 LEGAL BASIS FOR THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA

  1. As far as we receive consent for the processing of personal data, art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is used as the legal basis.
  2. In the processing of personal data required for the performance of a contract, whose contractual party is the affected person, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR acts as the legal basis. This also applies for processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.
  3. As far as processing of personal data is required for the performance of a legal obligation by which our company is bound, art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR is used as the legal basis.
  4. For the case that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require a processing of personal data, art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR is used as the legal basis.
  5. If the processing is required to maintain a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and IF the interests, rights and freedoms of the person concerned do not outweigh the former interest, art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR is used as the legal basis for the processing.

§ 2 DATA DELETION AND STORAGE PERIOD

  1. The personal data of the data subject is deleted or blocked if the purpose of storage no longer exists.
  2. Storage can also take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in Union legal regulations, laws or other regulations to which the responsible person is subject.
  3. A blocking or deletion of data is carried out even if a storage deadline prescribed by the above mentioned standards expires, unless that is a necessity for further storage of data for a conclusion of the contract or the performance of a contract.

    a) WiredMinds
    (1) This website uses the web analysis services WiredMinds (www.wiredminds.de), in order to evaluate the user access on this website.
    (2) Web beacons are used for evaluation purposes. These are invisible graphics by means of which your IP address is recorded. The following information is determined in a multi-stage process: Name and origin of the visiting company, visit date, value (depth) of the research, search engine, routing information.

  1. b) Vimeo
    (1) When you visit one of our pages equipped with a Vimeo plugin, your browser connects to the servers of Vimeo. This is a service of the provider Vimeo Inc, 555 West 18th Street, New York, New York 10011, USA.
    (2) This results in a data transmission. This data is processed on Vimeo servers. Regardless of whether you have a Vimeo account or not, Vimeo collects data about you. This includes your IP address, technical information about your browser type, operating system or very basic device information. In addition, Vimeo stores information about which website uses the Vimeo service and what actions (web activities) you perform on our website. These web activities include, for example, the duration of the session, the bounce rate or the button you clicked on our website with an integrated Vimeo function.)
    (3) If you are logged in as a registered Vimeo member, more data can usually be collected because more cookies may already have been set in your browser. In addition, your actions on our website are directly linked to your Vimeo account. To avoid this, you can log out of Vimeo while "surfing" our website.
    (4) We would like to point out that the USA is not a safe third country in the sense of EU data protection law. American companies are obliged to disclose personal data to the security authorities without you as a data subject being able to take legal action. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that U.S. authorities (e.g. intelligence agencies) may process your data on U.S. servers for monitoring purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities. Before you play the video with Vimeo support, you will be informed about the use of Vimeo and asked for your consent to the data transfer.
