 "... the data subject has given his consent to the processing of personal data relating to him for one or more specified purposes."

For Google Analytics and the use of cookies the legality results from Article 6 of the DSGVO paragraph 1 lit. f to protect the legitimate interests of the person responsible.

In the case of Google Analytics and the use of cookies, this is based on a legitimate interest.

The web analysis serves to optimize our internet presence and to find out more about which topics and contents are interesting for the visitors. By anonymising the IP address, it is ensured that it is not possible to draw conclusions about individual visitors within the scope of the analysis. The visitor of the website can deactivate the web analysis by measures mentioned under point 3.

An internal transfer of your personal data will only take place within the framework of the purposes defined in point 3 of this data protection declaration in accordance with the principle of data economy and other principles of data protection.

An external transfer of your personal data may take place under the following circumstances.

The legislator has enacted a large number of retention periods, which we observe with the utmost care and seek advice on how to comply with these obligations. As a matter of principle, we will only store your personal data for as long as this is permitted by the defined purpose, or as prescribed by law for reasons of proof. Should we wish to store your data for a longer period of time as described above, we would ask you to confirm this within the framework of a voluntary declaration of consent.

Right to information (Art. 15 DSGVO)

You have the right to request confirmation from us as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed. If this is the case, you have the right to be informed about these personal data and to receive the following information:

•     the recipients or categories of recipients to whom your personal data has been or will be disclosed, in particular in the case of recipients in EU third countries or international organisations

We will provide you with a free copy of the personal data that is the subject of the processing.

If you make the request electronically, we will provide you with the information in a standard electronic format, unless you indicate otherwise.

•     the processing is unlawful and you refuse to have your personal data deleted and instead request the restriction of the use of your personal data
•     If we no longer need your personal data for the purposes of processing, but you do need it to assert, exercise or defend legal claims

When exercising your right to data transferability, you have the right to obtain that your personal data be transferred directly from us to another responsible party, insofar as this is technically feasible.

The right to data transferability may be limited in so far as the rights or freedoms of other persons are affected by the exercise of this right.

Right of revocation and objection with regard to processing

In so far as we process personal data relating to you on the basis of a declaration of consent, you have the right to revoke the consent given. However, the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation remains unaffected by this.
