§3 Personal Data

Personal data are individual details about personal or factual situations of a specific or identifiable natural person (data subject). This includes, for example, identification details such as your name or date of birth, address and contact details such as your address, phone number, e-mail address or IP-address. Information with which we cannot (or can only with a disproportionate effort) establish a reference to your person, e.g. by making the information anonymous, is not personal data.

§4 General information on data processing

a) Scope

We only collect and use our users’ personal data if and to the extent needed to provide a functional website as well as our contents and services. We use your personal data to provide the services you need, to answer your questions and to operate and improve our websites and applications.

A further use of your personal data, especially for advertising purposes, does not take place. Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties without your consent, unless we are legally obliged to release data.

b) Legal basis

If we obtain the consent of the data subject to his/her process personal data, Art. 6, Section 1a, of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) shall serve as the legal basis for processing said data. Art. 6, Section 1b, of the GDPR serves as legal basis for processing the personal data required to execute a contract to which the data subject is a party. Article 6, Section 1c, of the GDPR serves as legal basis for processing the personal data required to fulfil a legal obligation of our company.

If processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interest, Art. 6, Section 1f, of the GDPR shall serve as legal basis for processing.

c) Data deletion and storage time

Your personal data shall be erased or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. However, the data may be stored if provided for by European or national laws or other statutory provisions to which Christian Grünberger is subject. The data shall be blocked or erased at the end of a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards, unless the data needs to be stored further in order to conclude or implement a contract.

d) Purpose of data processing

We only collect and use our users’ personal data if and to the extent needed to provide a functional website as well as our contents and services.

§5 Categories of personal data

The processing of the following categories of personal data is required for the above purposes:

  • Name, e-mail
  • IP-Address
  • Data in contact form and forum

§6 Security measures to protect the data stored by us.

We undertake to protect your privacy and to treat your personal data confidentially. To prevent loss or misuse of the data stored with us, we take extensive technical and organizational security precautions, which are regularly reviewed and adapted to technological progress. However, we would like to point out that, due to the structure of the Internet, it is possible that the rules of data protection and the above-mentioned security measures are not observed by other persons or institutions not within our sphere of responsibility. In particular, data disclosed in unencrypted form – e.g. if this is done by e-mail – can be read by third parties. We have no technical influence on this. It is the user’s responsibility to protect the data he or she provides against misuse by encrypting it or in any other way.

In this context, the data is not disclosed to third parties. The data is used exclusively for processing the conversation.
