IV. General information on data processing

Scope of processing personal data
In principle, we only process personal data of our users to the extent that this is necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. The processing of our users’ personal data regularly only takes place with the user’s consent. An exception applies in cases in which obtaining prior consent is not possible for actual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by legal regulations.
Legal basis for processing personal data
If you have consented to data processing, we will process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 S. 1 lit. a DSGVO bzw. Art. 9 Abs. 2 lit. a GDPR, provided that special data categories according to Art. 9 Para. 1 GDPR are processed. In the event of express consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing is also carried out on the basis of Art. 49 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or to the access to information on your device (e.g. via device fingerprinting), the data processing will take place on the basis of Art.6 Section. 1 lit. a GDPR and additionally on the basis of Section 25 Para. 1 TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is necessary to fulfill the contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 S. 1 lit. b GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data if it is
are necessary to fulfill a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 S. 1 lit. c GDPR. Data processing can also be carried out on the basis of our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f GDPR. Information about the relevant legal bases in each individual case is provided in the following paragraphs of this data protection declaration.
Data deletion and storage period
The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of the processing no longer applies. Storage can 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 person responsible is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the standards mentioned expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data to conclude or fulfill a contract.
Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke any consent you have already given at any time with effect for the future. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Note on data transfer to the USA and other third countries

We use, among other things, tools from companies based in the USA or elsewhere
Third countries that are not secure in terms of data protection law. If these tools are active based on your consent, your
personal data is transferred to these third countries and processed there. We would like to point out that a level of data protection comparable to the EU cannot be guaranteed in these countries. For example, US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you as the data subject being able to take legal action against this. It cannot therefore be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. secret services) process, evaluate and permanently store your data on US servers for surveillance purposes. We have no influence on these processing activities.
