Legal Basis for the Processing of Personal Data<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">a) Consent of the Data Subject<br>In so far as we obtain the data subject\u2019s consent to the processing for a particular purpose, Art. 6(1)(1)(a) GDPR is the legal basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">b) Fulfillment of contractual obligations<br>When the processing is necessary in order to fulfill a contract, to which said contracting party is the data subject, Art. 6(1)(1)(b) GDPR is the legal basis. This also applies to processing procedures that are required in order to implement precontractual measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">c) Statutory requirements and obligations<br>Should the processing be necessary in order to fulfill a legal obligation, to which we are subject, Art. 6(1)(1)(c) GDPR is the legal basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">d) Taking on a task in the public interest or to exercise official authority<br>Should the processing be necessary in order to take on a task that is in the public interest, or is being carried out to exercise official authority that has been conferred upon us, Art. 6(1)(1)(e) GDPR is the legal basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">e) Preserving legitimate interests<br>Should the processing be necessary in order to preserve our legitimate interest or that of a third party, and should the interests, basic rights and basic freedoms of the data subject not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR is the legal basis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">4.&nbsp;Specific instances of data processing<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">a) Provision of the Website and creation of log files<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol style=\"list-style-type:lower-alpha\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These websites may collect data about you, use cookies, embed additional third-party tracking, and monitor your interaction with that embedded content, including tracking your interaction with the embedded content if you have an account and are logged in to that website. The legal basis for this processing is Art. 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">b) When using the contact form<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When visitors submit a form, we capture the IP Address for spam protection. We also capture the email address and might capture other personal data included in the Form fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your details resulting from the inquiry, including the contact details given by you there, are exclusively used by us for the purpose of handling the inquiry and for the eventuality of any follow-up questions. The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Should the communication be aimed at concluding a contract, the legal basis for the processing is Art. 6(1)(1)(b) GDPR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">c) Google services<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol style=\"list-style-type:lower-alpha\" class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We use a number of Google services. In that respect, our contractual partner is Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (\u201cGoogle\u201d). Recipients of the data at Google may be:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (as data processors pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alphabet Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Should Google, in the process, process any data outside the EU\/EEA, and no data privacy level corresponding to the European standard exist, Google Ireland Limited has, in order to produce suitable warranties pursuant to Art. 46 GDPR, concluded EU standard contractual clauses with its group companies Google LLC and Alphabet Inc., who have their respective registered offices in California, USA. You can find a copy of the contractual clauses here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/policies.google.com\/privacy\/frameworks?hl=de&amp;gl=de\">https:\/\/policies.google.com\/privacy\/frameworks?hl=de&amp;gl=de<\/a> It cannot be excluded that data is transmitted to the USA and that the US authorities access data stored with Google. From a data privacy perspective, the USA currently counts as a third-party country. You do not have the same rights there as you do within the EU\/EEA. It is possible that you will have no legal remedies against access by authorities<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Youtube<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We integrate videos into our Website via the provider YouTube, a brand of Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland (\u201cYouTube\u201d). This \u2013 for technical reasons \u2013 means that YouTube servers are accessed. In regard to the associated use of data of your browser or terminal, we make reference to the data privacy policy of YouTube, as YouTube is responsible for the data processing there. You can find the YouTube Privacy Policy here:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/policies.google.com\/privacy\">https:\/\/policies.google.com\/privacy<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The legal basis for the integration of YouTube videos and the associated transmission of personal data to YouTube is, for users of these web pages who are in the processing of initiating a contract with us, Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. For other users, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR is the legal basis for the transmission of the technically necessary data to Vimeo. Our interest in integrating videos via an external service provider outweighs the interest of the user of our Website in not having personal data processed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a protective measure, we categorically integrate videos into YouTube in the \u201cDo Not Track\u201d variant, so that personal data is only transmitted to YouTube to the extent necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.&nbsp;Duration of storage and erasure of personal data<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The personal data of the data subject will be erased or blocked once no purpose for the processing any longer exists. It may be saved beyond that point in time should that have been stipulated by the European or national legislative authorities in any EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which we are subject. Any blocking or erasure of the personal data will also be carried out if a storage period prescribed by said regulations expires, unless a legal basis for the processing still exists. When visitors or users submit a form we retain the data for 30 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6.&nbsp;Recipients of Personal Data<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Only our employees and contractors which need the personal data to fulfill their processing purposes process it to perform necessary actions based on the form submission. All offices and individuals working with personal data are obliged to data secrecy, and are informed about handling such data with great care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Personal data is only passed on to third parties if doing so is in line with the data privacy provisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7.&nbsp;Data processing in non-EU countries<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">No data is transferred outside the EU.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8.

Should it not be an objection to direct advertising that is concerned, we would ask you to explain the reasons why we are not supposed to process your data in the way that we do it, when exercising such a right of objection. We will, in such a case, check the circumstances, and will either stop processing the data or adjust the processing, or let you know our reasons that are absolutely worthy of protection based on which we will continue to process the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>h) Right to revoke the declaration of consent granted under data privacy law<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pursuant to Art. 7(3) GDPR, you are entitled to revoke your declaration of consent under data privacy law at any time.

These are text files that are stored in or by the web browser on the system of the user\u2019s terminal when the user visits a website. Such a cookie contains a characteristic character string, which enables the browser to be clearly identified the next time that it accesses the Website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">a) Technically necessary cookies<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We use technically necessary cookies so that our system recognizes whether the user has consented to or restricted processes requiring consent, such as the placing of cookies, in his or her browser (\u201cOpt-out Cookies\u201d). These technically necessary cookies are not used to ascertain the user\u2019s identity or create user profiles. The legal basis for the storage of the technically necessary cookies is Sec. 25(2) Act on Data Protection and the Protection of Privacy in Telecommunications and Telemedia (TTDSG). For the processing of the personal data arising thereby it is Art. 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR. The use of said cookies is technically necessary in order to operate the Website.

Optional cookies are used for functional, analysis or marketing purposes. The use of said cookies is based on the user\u2019s consent, which the user grants when visiting the Website for the first time, and, firstly, comprises storing and accessing cookies as such, as well as processing the personal data arising therefrom for analysis purposes. The legal basis for storing and accessing the analysis cookies is Sec. 25(1) Act on Data Protection and the Protection of Privacy in Telecommunications and Telemedia (TTDSG). In regard to the processing of the personal data arising therefrom it is Art. 6(1)(1)(a) GDPR.
