§ 3 General legal bases

For the processing of personal data required for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Article 6 (1) (b) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations required to carry out pre-contractual measures.
If processing is required to safeguard the legitimate interests of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override the former interest, Article 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for said processing. This is also particularly the case if we use tracking to optimize the website or to measure the reach of our newsletter as well as for respective direct marketing.
If the processing of personal data is required to fulfill a legal obligation our company is subject to, Article 6 (1) (c) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis.
In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Article 6 (1) (d) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis.

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Article 6 (1) (a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.

Google Analytics

  1. This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses so-called “cookies”, text files, which are stored on your computer and enable the analysis of your use of the website. The information about your use of the website generated by the cookie is typically transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, if IP anonymization has been activated on this website, your IP address will be truncated beforehand within member states of the European Union or in other states, which are party to the Treaty on the European Economic Area. The complete IP address is only transmitted to a Google sever in the USA and truncated there in exceptional cases. Google uses this information on behalf of the operator of this website to analyze your use of the website, to generate reports about website activity and to provide the website operator with other services related to website and Internet use.
  2. The IP address transmitted by your browser in line with Google Analytics is not merged with other Google data.
  3. You can configure your browser to block the storage of the cookies; however, please note that you may not be able to make full use of all website functions in this case. Furthermore, you can prevent Google from collecting the data related to your use of the website generated by the cookie (including your IP address) and Google processing this data by downloading and installing the browser plugin available under the following link: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.
  4. Alternatively to the browser add-on or when using browsers on mobile devices, please click this link, to prevent a collection by Google Analytics within this website in the future (the opt-out only works in this browser and only for this domain). At the same time, an opt-out cookie is stored on your device. If you erase your cookies in this browser, you have to click on this link again.
  5. This website uses Google Analytics with the addition “_anonymizeIp()”. IP addresses are therefore processed in a truncated form, to rule out a direct relation to any person. If the collected data concerning you is directly connected to you, this connection is excluded and the personal data is immediately erased.
  6. We use Google Analytics to analyze the use of our website and continuously improve it. The statistics obtained enable us to improve our services and make them more attractive to you, the user. In exceptional cases, where personal data is transmitted to the USA, Google has committed to adhering to the EU- US Privacy Shield, https://www.privacyshield.gov/EU-US-Framework.
