In principal, we only process the personal data of our users to the extent necessary in order to provide a functioning website with our content and services. The processing of personal data takes place regularly, and only with the consent of the user in question. Exceptions include cases whereby prior consent could not be obtained and that the processing of the data is, nonetheless, permitted by law.

 

3.2. Legal basis for data processing

sec. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a EU-GDPR serves as the legal basis to obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of their data.

As for the processing of personal data required for the performance of a contract of which the data subject is party, sec. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b serves as a legal basis. This also applies to processing operations required to carry our pre-contractual activities.

When it is necessary to process personal data in order to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, sec. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis.

In the event that the interest or well-being of the data subject or any relevant natural person(s) require the processing of personal data, sec. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If the processing of data is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of our company or that of a third-party operator, and the fundamental rights and freedoms of the person(s) concerned do not outweigh the interest of the former, sec. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR will serve as a legal basis for the processing of data.

 

3.3. Data removal and storage duration

The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage has been accomplished. In addition, such storage may be provided by the European or national legislator within the EU regulations, law, or other relevant regulations to which the data controller is subject. Blocking or deletion of the data also takes place when the storage period stipulated by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need to prolong the storage of the data for the purpose of concluding or fulfilling the respective contract.

10.6. Transfer to a third country

In order to ensure appropriate safeguards for the protection of the transfer and processing of personal data outside the EU, the transfer of data to and processing of data by Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA is carried out on the basis of appropriate safeguards pursuant to Art. 46 et seq DSGVO, in particular by concluding so-called standard data protection clauses pursuant to Art. 46 para. 2 lit. c DSGVO. A copy of the standard data protection clauses can be requested from us.

 

Notice with regard to third country transfer

Your personal data will also be transferred to the USA. There is no adequacy decision for the USA according to Art. 45 (3) GDPR.

We would like to point out that data transfer without an adequacy decision entails certain risks, which we would like to inform you about below: Intelligence services in the USA use certain online identifiers (such as the IP address or unique identification numbers) as a starting point for monitoring individuals. In particular, it cannot be ruled out that these intelligence services have already collected information about you, with the help of which the data transmitted here can be traced back to you. Providers of electronic communications services headquartered in the U.S. are subject to monitoring by U.S. intelligence services pursuant to 50 U.S. Code § 1881a ("FISA 702").

Accordingly, providers of electronic communications services headquartered in the U.S. have an obligation to provide personally identifiable information to U.S. authorities pursuant to 50 U.S. Code § 1881a, with no possible recourse available to you. Even encryption of data at the electronic communications service provider's data centers may not provide adequate protection because, with respect to imported data in its possession or custody or under its control, an electronic communications service provider has a direct obligation to provide access to or surrender such data. This obligation may explicitly extend to the cryptographic keys without which the data cannot be read.

The fact that this is not merely a "theoretical risk" is demonstrated by the ECJ ruling of July 16, 2020 (Case C 311/18, ,,Schrems-II").

With Google, we have concluded guarantees in the form of standard data protection clauses pursuant to Art. 46 (2) lit. c DSGVO.
