III. General information on data processing
1. Scope of processing of personal data
In principle, we process personal data of our users only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website as well as our content and services. The processing of personal data of our users takes place regularly only with the consent of the user. An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for actual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.
2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data
Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Article 6(1)(a) EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.
When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Article 6(1)(b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.
Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Article 6(1)(c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Article 6(1)(d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.
3. Data deletion and storage period
The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Storage may also take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other regulations to which the controller is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards is cancelled, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract.

2. Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.
3. Purpose of data processing
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user’s computer. For this purpose, the IP address of the user must remain stored for the duration of the session.

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility of objection on the part of the user.
V. Use of cookies

The other personal data processed during the sending process serve to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.
4. Duration of storage
The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected.

VII. Web analysis by Matomo (formerly PIWIK)
1. Scope of processing of personal data
We use the open-source software tool Matomo (formerly PIWIK) on our website to analyse the surfing behaviour of our users. The software sets a cookie on the user’s computer (for cookies see above). If individual pages of our website are accessed, the following data is stored:
(1) Two bytes of the IP address of the user’s calling system
(2) The accessed website
(3) The website from which the user accessed the accessed website (referrer)
(4) The subpages that are accessed from the accessed website

The software runs exclusively on the servers of our website. A storage of the personal data of the users takes place only there. The data will not be passed on to third parties.
The software is set in such a way that the IP addresses are not completely stored, but 2 bytes of the IP address are masked (e.g.: 192.168.xxx.xxx). In this way, an assignment of the shortened IP address to the calling computer is no longer possible.
2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data
The legal basis for the processing of users’ personal data is Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR.
3. Purpose of data processing
The processing of users’ personal data enables us to analyse the surfing behaviour of our users. By evaluating the data obtained, we are able to compile information about the use of the individual components of our website. This helps us to constantly improve our website and its user-friendliness. For these purposes, our legitimate interest also lies in the processing of the data in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. By anonymizing the IP address, the interest of users in their protection of personal data is sufficiently taken into account.
4. Duration of storage
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer needed for our recording purposes. In our case, this is the case after 365 days.
VIII. Rights of the data subject
5. Possibility of objection and removal
