General information on data processing
1. Scope of processing personal data
In general, we only process the personal data of our users to the extent necessary to provide a functioning
website with our content and services. The regular processing of personal data only takes place with the
consent of the user. Exceptions include cases where prior consent cannot be technically obtained and where
the processing of the data is permitted by law.
2. Legal basis for data processing
Where consent is appropriate for processing personal data, Art. 6 (1) (a) UK 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, Art. 6 (1) (b) UK GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations required
to carry out pre-contractual activities.
When it is necessary to process personal data in order to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is
subject, Art. 6 (1) (c) UK GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6
(1) (d) UK 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, and the fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the interest of the
former, Art. 6 (1) (f) UK GDPR will serve as the legal basis for the processing of data.
3. Data removal and storage duration
The personal data of the data subject will be erased or restricted as soon as the purpose of its storage has
been accomplished, unless the retention of the data is required is accordance with mandated statutory
retention periods. Restriction or erasure 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 fulfiling the respective contract.

When your personal data is processed, you are a data subject within the meaning of the UK GDPR and have
the following rights:

Recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed.

about the logic involved, the scope and the effects to be expected.
If applicable, transfer of personal data to a third country or international organisation.
2. Right to rectification (Art. 16 UK GDPR)
You have a right to rectification and/or modification of the data, if your processed personal data is incorrect
or incomplete. The data controller must correct the data without delay
3. Right to the restriction of processing (Art. 18 UK GDPR)
You may request the restriction of the processing of your personal data under the following conditions:
If you challenge the accuracy of your personal data for a period that enables the data controller to verify the
accuracy of your personal data.
The processing is unlawful, and you oppose the erasure of the personal data and instead request the
restriction of their use instead.
The data controller or its representative no longer need the personal data for the purpose of processing, but
you need it to assert, exercise or defend legal claims; or
If you have objected to the processing pursuant and it is not yet certain whether the legitimate interests of
the data controller override your interests.
4. Right to erasure ("Right to be forgotten") (Art. 17 UK GDPR)
If you request from the data controller to delete your personal data without undue delay, they are required
to do so immediately if one of the following applies:
Personal data concerning you is no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or
processed.
You withdraw your consent on which the processing is based pursuant to and where there is no other
legal basis for processing the data.

processing, or you object pursuant to Art. 21 (2) UK GDPR.
Your personal data has been processed unlawfully.
The personal data must be deleted to comply with a legal obligation under UK law to which the data
controller is subject.
Your personal data was collected in relation to information society services offered pursuant to Art. 8
(1) UK GDPR.
The right to deletion does not exist if the processing is necessary:
to exercise the right to freedom of speech and information;

task of public interest or in the exercise of public authority delegated to the representative.
for reasons of public interest in the field of public health.

purposes.

the data controller who was initially given the data.

For reasons that arise from your particular situation, you have, at any time, the right to object to the
processing of your personal data pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (e) or 6 (1) (f) UK GDPR; this also applies to profiling
based on these provisions.

other information provided by the user (e.g. postal code) is Art. 6 (1) (f) UK GDPR, based on our legitimate
interest in ensuring a more precise target group approach and thus providing offers and advertising with
greater relevance for our users.
Part of the IP address and the additional information provided by the user (e.g. postal code) are merely
processed and not stored separately.
You can prevent geotargeting by, for example, using a VPN or proxy server that prevents accurate
localisation. In addition, depending on the browser you are using, you can also deactivate a location
localisation in the corresponding browser settings (as far as this is supported by the respective browser).

MailChimp will send you an email to confirm your registration. In addition, MailChimp offers various analysis
options on how the sent newsletters are opened and used, e.g. how many users an email was sent to,
whether emails were rejected and whether users unsubscribed from the list after receiving an email.

newsletter, possibly for invitations to events and, if you are already our customer, for our customer e-mail.
Furthermore, subscribers to the newsletter could be informed by e-mail if this is necessary for the operation
of the newsletter service or registration in this respect, as might be the case in the event of changes to the
newsletter offering or changes to the technical conditions.
