2. General information on data processing

2.1 Categories of personal data

We process the following categories of personal data:

• Inventory data (e.g. names, addresses, functions, organisational affiliation, etc.)
• Contact data (e.g. e-mail, telephone/fax numbers etc.)
• Content data (e.g. text entries, image files, videos etc.)
• Usage data (e.g. access data)
• Meta/communication data (e.g. IP addresses)

2.2 Recipients or categories of recipients of personal data

If, in the course of our processing, we disclose data to other persons and companies such as web hosts, order processors or third parties, transmit it to them or otherwise grant them access to the data, this is done on the basis of a legal permission (e.g. if a transmission of the data to third parties is necessary for the performance of a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR), if the data subjects have consented or if a legal obligation provides for this.

2.3 Duration of storage of personal data

The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of the period, the corresponding data is deleted if it is no longer required to achieve the purpose, fulfil the contract or initiate the contract.

2.4 Transfers to third countries

If we process data in a third country (i.e. outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA)) or if this is done in the context of using third-party services or disclosing or transferring data to third parties, this is only done if it is done to fulfil our (pre-)contractual obligations, on the basis of your consent, due to a legal obligation or on the basis of our legitimate interests. Subject to legal or contractual permissions, we only process data or have data processed in a third country if the special requirements of Art. 44 ff. Data Protection Regulation, i.e. the processing is carried out, for example, on the basis of special guarantees, such as the officially recognised determination of a level of data protection corresponding to that of the EU (e.g. for the USA through the “Privacy Shield”) or compliance with officially recognised special contractual obligations (so-called “standard contractual clauses”).

3.1 Log files

Each time a data subject accesses our website, general data and information are stored in the log files of our system:

When using this general data and information, we do not draw any conclusions about the data subject. There is no personal evaluation or evaluation of the data for marketing purposes or profiling. The IP address is not stored in this context. The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is absolutely necessary for the secure operation of our website. Consequently, there is no possibility for the data subject to object.
