1. Definitions of terms

According to Art. 4 GDPR, "personal data" means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter "data subject"); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

"Processing" means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

If processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.

4. Data erasure and storage duration

Data may also be stored if this has been provided for by European or national laws in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the company responsible is subject.
