2. Purposes of processing pursuant to Article 13(1)(c) of the GDPR

The individuals concerned are collectively referred to as „users.“.
Legal Basis for the Processing of Personal Data
Below, we provide information about the legal basis for the processing of personal data:
- If we have obtained your consent to the processing of personal data, the legal basis is Article 6(1), first sentence, subparagraph (a) of the GDPR.
- If processing is necessary to fulfill a contract or to take steps prior to entering into a contract at your request, the legal basis is Article 6(1), first sentence, subparagraph (b) of the GDPR.
- If processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject (e.g., statutory retention requirements), the legal basis is Article 6(1), first sentence, subparagraph (c) of the GDPR.
- If the processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person, the legal basis is Article 6(1), first sentence, subparagraph (d) of the GDPR.
- If the processing is necessary to safeguard our legitimate interests or those of a third party, and your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms do not override those interests, then Article 6(1), first sentence, subparagraph (f) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis.
Disclosure of Personal Data to Third Parties and Processors
As a general rule, we do not disclose any data to third parties without your consent. Should this nevertheless occur, the disclosure will be based on the legal grounds mentioned above—for example, when data is shared with online payment providers to fulfill a contract, or pursuant to a court order, or due to a legal obligation to disclose the data for the purposes of criminal prosecution, to prevent threats, or to enforce intellectual property rights.
We also use data processors (external service providers, e.g., for web hosting of our websites and databases) to process your data. When data is transferred to data processors under a data processing agreement, this is always done in accordance with Article 28 of the GDPR. We carefully select our data processors, monitor them regularly, and have secured the right to issue instructions regarding the data. In addition, the data processors must have implemented appropriate technical and organizational measures and must comply with data protection regulations in accordance with the BDSG (as amended) and the GDPR.
Data Transfer to Third Countries
The adoption of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) established a uniform framework for data protection in Europe. Your data is therefore primarily processed by companies subject to the GDPR. Should processing nevertheless take place by third-party services outside the European Union or the European Economic Area, these services must meet the specific requirements of Articles 44 et seq. of the GDPR. This means that processing is carried out on the basis of specific safeguards, such as the European Commission’s official recognition that a country provides a level of data protection equivalent to that of the EU, or compliance with officially recognized specific contractual obligations, known as „standard contractual clauses.“.
To the extent that, due to the invalidity of the so-called „Privacy Shield,“ pursuant to Article 49(1)(a) of the GDPR, we may seek your explicit consent to the transfer of data to the United States; in this regard, we draw your attention to the risk of covert access by U.S. authorities and the use of the data for surveillance purposes, possibly without any legal recourse for EU citizens.
Data Deletion and Retention Period
Unless expressly stated in this Privacy Policy, your personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as you revoke the consent you have given for its processing, or the purpose for which it was stored no longer applies, or the data is no longer necessary for that purpose, unless further retention is necessary for evidentiary purposes or is precluded by statutory retention requirements. This includes, for example, commercial law retention obligations for business correspondence under Section 257(1) of the German Commercial Code (HGB) (6 years) and tax law retention obligations under Section 147(1) of the German Fiscal Code (AO) for supporting documents (10 years). When the prescribed retention period expires, your data will be blocked or deleted, unless storage is still necessary for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.
Existence of Automated Decision-Making
We do not use automated decision-making or profiling.
