We process personal data of visitors to our website only insofar as this is necessary for their provision and for the contents and services offered.

An exception applies in those cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for real reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.
2.2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data
Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Article 6 (1) (a) of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis. In the processing of personal data required for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies for operations necessary in pre-contractual measures. As the processing of personal data is required to fulfil a legal obligation to which our association is subject, Article 6 (1) (c) GDPR serves as the legal basis. In the event that the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Article 6 (1) (d) GDPR serves as the legal basis. If processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our association or a third party – without the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject prevailing – Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.
2.3. Deletion of data and duration of storage
The personal data of the person concerned will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Beyond that a storage can take place, if this is provided by the European or national legislator in union-legal regulations, laws or other regulations to which the controller is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period specified in the mentioned laws and regulations expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract.
