3. Contact / Registration

 

When establishing contact with us by accessing our website, the information you provide is used to prove contact in accordance with the legal requirements as per Article 6 (1) (a) EU GDPR. Every time the website is accessed, our website automatically (without your assistance) stores the following general data and information temporarily in a so-called log file, which is stored until it is automatically deleted:

  • IP address assigned by your Internet access provider to your computer,

  • Website from where our website is accessed,
  • Amount of data sent in bytes,
  • Which browser is used, and which version,
  • The operating system that is used,
  • The Internet service provider that is used.


Recording and storage of this data is required for the website to function, as well as to ensure a smooth connection to, and ease of use of the website. Furthermore, this data helps ensure the security of our IT systems to recognise and resolve any technical issues that may arise, as well as to prevent or track abuse or other illegal behaviour on our website. Recording and storage also takes place, in as far as we are legally obliged to do so, due to official or legal obligations as well as to assert our rights and claims as well as to legally defend our rights.

 

4. Purpose and legal basis for data processing

 

We process your personal data in accordance with the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the German Data Protection Act (BDSG) and all other applicable laws, particularly as per Article 6(1)(b) GDPR and the purposes stated therein, and this is to fulfil the contract with you as well as for mutually handling obligations arising from the contractual relationship and to implement pre-contractual measures.

 

5. Forwarding your personal data to third parties

 

When forwarding your personal data to third parties, we always aim for the most stringent level of security.

Forwarding your personal data to third parties only takes place in the cases listed below, such as when:


  • You have explicitly granted permission to do so in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) GDPR,
  • It is necessary to forward the data in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) GDPR for processing the contractual relationship,
  • There is a statutory obligation to do so under Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR.
  • Forwarding in accordance with 6(1)(f) of the GDPR is necessary for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in not disclosing your data.

 

Your personal data will not be forward to countries outside the EU or to international organisations.

 

Service providers act on our behalf for operating and improving this website, such as for central IT infrastructure or hosting our website. We have concluded a data processing agreement with the relevant service provider pursuant to Article 28 GDPR. They must use the data made available to us only in accordance with our instructions. We have agreed on specific data security measures with the relevant service provider, and compliance with these is monitored on a regular basis. The service provider’s staff members are obliged to maintain data secrecy.

 

6. Your rights

 

The GDPR grants you, subject to potential legal restrictions, the following rights regarding the processing of your personal data:

 

  • The right to information as per Article 15 GDPR,
  • The right to correction and/or completion as per Article 16 GDPR,
  • The right to deletion as per Article 17 GDPR,
  • The right to restriction of processing as per Article 18 GDPR,
  • The right to data transferability from Article 20 GDPR,
  • You may object to the processing of your personal data as per Article 21 GDPR, provided that this is based on legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 (1)(e) of the GDPR and insofar as there is an objection to the processing, which results from your particular situation. We will then no longer process your personal data unless we are able to demonstrate compelling and legitimate reasons for data processing, which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or if processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

 

Restrictions as per Sections 34 and 35 BDSG apply to the right to information and the right to deletion.

You have the option of contacting the relevant supervisory data protection authority as per Article 77 GDPR.

 

Responsible in the Free and Hanseatic City of Hamburg:

7. Duration of storage

 

We regularly delete your personal data if this is no longer necessary for us to fulfil our contractual and legal requirements, unless we are obliged to do so as per Article 6 (1)(c) GDPR for a longer period for tax and commercial archiving and documentation purposes stated in the German Commercial Code (HGB) and the General Fiscal Law (AO). The storage periods as per the HGB and AO are 10 years. Statutory limitation periods may be up to 30 years when defending claims, and the regular limitation period is 3 years (§ 197 of the German Civil Code (BGB)).

 

8. Safety

 

As part of IT security, we protect data you have made available, and in doing so, we make use of technical and organisational security measures against unintentional or deliberate manipulation, against partial or total loss, destruction, unauthorised acquisition or against unauthorised access by unauthorised persons. When collecting and processing personal data, the information is transmitted in encrypted format as per the SSL protocol (Secure Socket Layer) to prevent it from being abused by third parties. Security measures are monitored and adapted in accordance with data protection legislation and the state of the art of technological development. We secure our systems and data processing procedures using technical and organisational measures such as data encryption, pseudonymisation and anonymisation, access and entry controls, firewalls and recovery systems as well as integrity testing. Our employees are regularly trained in how to handle your personal data confidentially, and are correspondingly obliged to comply with the data protection requirements that are set out in law.
