Data protection information according to Art. 13, 14 and 21 DS-GVO

Data protection is of particular concern to us. We process your personal data (hereinafter “data”) in accordance with the legal requirements and would like to do so in a transparent manner. Therefore, we would like to briefly explain to you in the following data protection information which data we process, and for what purposes and on what legal basis this is done. In addition, you will receive information about contact persons as well as your rights in connection with data processing.

Purpose and legal basis of data processing:

1. As soon as you visit our website, we store so-called log files from you. This records your IP address, the date and time of the page access, the URL accessed, the browser you are using and its version, as well as the version of the operating system you are using. This is necessary to fulfill the task in the public interest of preventing misuse of our website and to enable you to visit our website trouble-free and optimally. The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 letter e DSGVO. To provide our website, we use the external service provider 1&1 (1&1 IONOS SE, Elgendorfer Str. 57, 56410 Montabaur). This third-party provider processes the aforementioned data for the above-mentioned purposes.
2. You can comment on content on our website. If you do so, your comment or rating will also be displayed to other users of the website. We collect these comments as feedback to update our content. The data processing is necessary for the performance of this task.

The legal basis for this processing is Article 6 (1) sentence 1 letter e, (2) and (3) of the German Data Protection Regulation (DS-GVO) in conjunction with Section 13 NDSG.

General information:

Even if you do not make use of your rights below, your data will only be stored by us for as long as it is necessary for the above-mentioned purposes. This does not apply if, in derogation thereof, a longer storage or retention period is required by law or is necessary for legal enforcement within the statutory limitation periods. If data is only retained for the aforementioned purposes, data access is limited to the extent necessary for this purpose.

As a matter of principle, we keep your data to ourselves and make it available only to those employees who need it for their work within the scope of fulfilling their tasks. This does not apply if we are legally obligated to disclose it. In addition, we reserve the right to have some of these activities, such as hosting the website, sending e-mails and SMS or tracking, carried out by third-party providers, provided that they offer sufficient guarantees that appropriate technical and organizational measures are implemented in such a way that the data processing is carried out in accordance with legal requirements and ensures the protection of your rights.

We would like to inform you that the provision of your data is not required by law or contract. If you do not provide your data, this will not have any negative consequences for you. Automated decision-making including profiling as defined in Art. 22 (1) and (4) DS-GVO does not take place.

Your right to object according to Art. 21 DS-GVO:

You have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data relating to you on grounds relating to your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. e DS-GVO within the meaning of Art. 4 No. 4 DS-GVO.

In this case, we will no longer process this data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

Your other rights:

You have the right to request information from us about the processing of data concerning you. In addition to a copy of the data, this right to information also includes the purposes of the data processing, the data recipients and the storage period.

If incorrect data is processed, you may request us to correct this data without delay. If the legal requirements according to Art. 17 or 18 DS-GVO are met, you are also generally entitled to the right to immediate deletion or restriction of the processing of the data. Please note that restricted processing of the data may not be possible.
