Processing of Personal Data and Purposes of the Data Processing

a)       During Your Website Visit

 You have the choice to access our website without revealing your identity. In this case, the active browser on your computing device sends nothing but the automatic information about itself to the server of our website to enable the connection. This includes the browser type and version and the date and time of access.  Included in the transmitted data is also the IP address of your device. Our server stores this IP address in a log file and deletes it automatically after four (4) weeks.

We process the IP address for technical and administrative purposes when we establish a stable connection between your device and our server. This ensures the security and functional reliability of our website. In the event an attacker tries to harm our system, the stored data allow us to trace the illegitimate activity.

The legal foundation for processing the IP address is Article 6 para. 1. lit. f GDPR. We have legitimate interests in maintaining the security of our website and in providing trouble-free website services as outlined above.

Processing the IP address of the requesting device in our log file does not allow us to draw direct conclusions on the identity of the website visitor.

3.        Transfer of Personal Data to Third Persons

 We transfer your personal data to third parties only under the following circumstances:

•  You have consented to the transfer explicitly as prescribed in Article 6 para. 1, page 1, lit. a GDPR
• We entered into a contract with you, and the transfer is necessary to execute the contract as prescribed in Article 6 para. 1, page 1, lit b GDPR
• According to Article 6 para. 1, page 1, lit. c GDPR and according to applicable law, we are obligated to transfer the data to a specific third party.

 The third party/third parties shall use the transferred data for the specified purpose exclusively.

 The transmission/transfer of personal data to a country outside the EU or to an international organisation is prohibited.
