GENERAL INFORMATION

Definitions
This privacy policy uses terms defined in Article 4 of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). These are, inter alia, the following terms:
 
"Personal data" or "personal information" means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person ("data subject"). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

„Processing“ is any operation which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means.

Purpose of the Processing
As far as not specified in the following, personal data is collected and used to make this website available to the public, to respond to inquiries and offer our services as well as for the purpose of safety and optimization of the website. 
 
Legal basis for the processing
Our legal basis for processing your personal data is dependent on the purpose for processing and may vary. In general, we process your personal data under the following legal bases:

Art. 6 (1) lit.a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures, especially to respond to inquiries the legal basis is Art. 6(1) lit. b GDPR. If the processing of the data is necessary by legal obligation the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR. If processing is necessary for the purposes of pursuing our legitimate interests the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. 

Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 (1) lit.f GDPR our legitimate interest is especially our interest to optimize the website and our offering in favor of our business as well as to carry out safety measures.

Period for which the personal data will be stored
The length of time personal data is retained, and criteria for determining that time, are dependent on the nature of the personal data and the purpose for which it was provided.
