III. General information on data processing
We generally only process the personal data of the users of our website to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. Further processing of our users’ personal data essentially only occurs with the user’s consent. An exception would be cases where obtaining prior consent is not possible for practical reasons and the data processing is permitted by the respective legal regulations. Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing personal data, the legal basis is Art. 6 para 1 lit. a of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Art. 6 para 1 lit. b GDPR is the legal basis when processing personal data that is required to fulfil a contract to which the data subject is a party. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. If the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, the legal basis is Art. 6 para 1 lit. c GDPR. Should the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, the legal basis is Art. 6 para 1 lit. d GDPR. If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override the above interest, the legal basis for processing is Art. 6 para 1 lit. f GDPR. Erasure of data and period of storage The personal data of the data subject will be erased or blocked once the purpose of such storage has expired. Storage is also permitted if this has been stipulated by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other regulations to which the controller is subject. The data will also be blocked or erased if a storage period specified by the above standards expires, unless a requirement for a further period of data storage exists to conclude or fulfil a contract.

Google will only transfer this data to third parties owing to legal regulations or as part of order data processing.
