1. Collection, processing and use of personal data
We collect, process (store, modify, transmit, block, delete) and use personal data such as

Basic data (data used for the establishment, contentual configuration or alteration of a contractual relationship regarding use) such as name, address, email address, telephone or fax number, birth date, user ID, static IT addresses.
Usage data (data that is required to enable the use of features/services in order to perform associated billing) such as attributes to identify the user, information on the start/end and extent of each usage, and the features/services used by the website visitor.

We collect, store, modify, transmit and utilize personal data as stipulated in the provisions of the Federal Data Protection Act:

for the intended purpose of the contractual relationship,
to protect our legitimate interests,
to protect the legitimate interests of a third party,
for promotional purposes, market and public opinion research, to the extent that you have consented to this and have not subsequently revoked your consent.

Within the statutorily allowed framework, this involves data in list form or otherwise aggregated, and pertains to members of a group of persons. This data is limited to an indication of affiliation to this group of people, as well as to the designation of profession, industry or business, names, titles, academic degrees, address and date of birth.

We collect personal information upon “Registration“ as part of the contractual agreement for the use of our services. In those areas where personal information is collected, we require consent for the collection, processing and use of personal data.

We use cookies in some areas of our website. Cookes are identifiers which enable us to offer more individualized services while the website is being used. We do not use cookies to gather personal data.

We store personal data

after consent is given for the collection, processing and use of personal data,
to the extent of the details provided during registration and in records in databases, user accounts and forums,
online on the servers and backup media of the internet provider contracted by us,
offline on our own servers and backup media,
on the basis of legal, statutory and contractual retention regulations, as well as for data backup and data privacy control. We have taken technical and organizational measures to protect personal information against loss, destruction, manipulation and unauthorized access.

We modify personal information to the extent required to correct errors or make adjustments to the information provided (due to changes in name, address, etc.).

We delete personal data,

if storage of the information is prohibited,

after the expiration of the contractual relationship and the applicable legal, statutory or contractual retention periods and other statutory provisions.

We lock personal information if

deletion is precluded by legal, statutory or contractual retention obligations,
there is reason to believe that deleting information would impair the legitimate interests of the party involved
due to the specific type of storage, a solution would not be possible or would require a disproportionate amount of time, expense or effort.
