III. general information on data processing

  1. SCOPE OF PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA As a matter of principle, we process personal data of our users only insofar as this is necessary for the provision of a functional website as well as our contents and services. The processing of personal data of our users is regularly carried out only with the consent of the user. An exception applies in those cases where it is not possible to obtain prior consent for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by legal regulations.

  2. LEGAL BASIS FOR THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing operations of personal data, Art.6 para.1 lit.a EU Data Protection Regulation (DSGVO) serves as the legal basis.

When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art.6 para.1 lit.b DSGVO serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.

Insofar as processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfillment of a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art.6 para.1 lit.c DSGVO serves as the legal basis.

In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person make processing of personal data necessary, Art.6 para.1 lit.d DSGVO serves as the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override the former interest, Art.6 para.1 lit.f DSGVO serves as the legal basis for the processing.

  1. DELETION OF DATA AND STORAGE PERIOD. The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Storage may take place beyond this if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract.

IV. Provision of the website and creation of log files

  1. DESCRIPTION AND SCOPE OF DATA PROCESSING Each time our website is called up, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the calling computer.

The following data is collected in this process:

Information about the browser type and version used, as well as the user's operating system (user agent). The IP address of the user Date and time of access Websites from which the user accessed our website The address requested by the user (e.g. subpage or file) The size of the response sent by the web server This data is also stored in the log files of our system. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.

  1. LEGAL BASIS FOR DATA PROCESSING The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data and the log files is Art.6 para.1 lit.f DSGVO.

  2. PURPOSE OF DATA PROCESSING The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user's computer. For this purpose, the user's IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session.

The storage in log files is done to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, we use the data to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context.

In these purposes also lies our legitimate interest in data processing according to Art.6 Abs.1 lit.f DSGVO.

  1. DURATION OF STORAGE The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended.

In the case of storage of data in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. Storage beyond this period is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or alienated, so that an assignment of the calling client is no longer possible.

  1. POSSIBILITY OF OBJECTION AND ELIMINATION The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility of objection on the part of the user.

V. E-mail contact

  1. DESCRIPTION AND SCOPE OF DATA PROCESSING It is possible to contact us via the e-mail address provided. In this case, the user's personal data transmitted with the e-mail will be stored.

In this context, the data will not be passed on to third parties. The data is used exclusively for processing the conversation.

The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of sending an e-mail is Art.6 para.1 lit.f DSGVO. If the e-mail contact aims at the conclusion of a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art.6 para.1 lit.b DSGVO.

  1. PURPOSE OF DATA PROCESSING The processing of personal data from the e-mail serves us solely to process the contact.

  2. DURATION OF STORAGE The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. For personal data sent by e-mail, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is terminated when the circumstances indicate that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified.

  3. POSSIBILITY OF OBJECTION AND REMOVAL The user has the possibility to revoke his consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the user contacts us by email, he can object to the storage of his personal data at any time. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued.

The objection can be declared directly as a reply within the email chain. Alternatively, a separate email can be sent to info@mylivingtree.de.

All personal data stored in the course of the contact will be deleted in this case.
