General information on data processing

3.1 Scope of processing of personal data

In principle, HOER processes personal data of the users insofar as this is necessary for providing a functional website and as it is required for providing content and services. Personal data of the user is generally processed only with the user’s consent. An exception applies in cases where it is not possible to obtain prior consent and the processing of the data is permitted by law. This applies especially for processing of user data in order to perform contracts concluded with the user.

3.2 Legal basis for processing personal data

If HOER has obtained the user’s consent for obtaining and processing data,  Article 6 Paragraph 1 lit. a  DSGVO serves as the legal basis. When processing a user’s personal data is necessary to fulfill a contract concluded with the user, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b. DSGVO is the legal basis. This also applies to necessary data processing carried out before the contract is concluded. In case of a legal obligation of HOER, personal data of the user may also be processed on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c. DSGVO. Processing of personal data is also permitted according Article 6 paragraph 1 lit. d DSGVO in order to protect vital interests of the user or another natural person. Finally, processing of the user’s personal data is permitted if processing the data is permitted under Art. 6 (1) lit. f. DSGVO, if the data processing is required in order to protect a legitimate interest of HOER or those of a third party unless the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the user, aimed at protecting personal data, prevail.

3.3 Erasure of data and Storage duration

The personal data of the user concerned will be deleted or blocked, as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Storage can also take place if this is required by domestic, European law. The data will also be blocked or deleted if the storage period prescribed by the applicable statutes expires, unless a necessity for further storage of the data for the conclusion of a contract or a fulfillment of the contract exists.

05
Log Files

4.1 Each time the HOER website is accessed, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the accessing computer. The following data is collected:
– Information about the browser type and version used
– Information on user’s operating system
– The user’s IP address
– Date and time of access
– Webpages that are accessed by the user’s system via our website

The data is saved in the log files of our system. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.

4.2 The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data and the log files is Article 6 Para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO.

4.3 The temporary storage of data in log files takes place to ensure the functionality of the website and is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user’s computer. 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. For this purpose there is a legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Article 6 Para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO.

4.4 The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case after seven days at the latest when the respective user session has ended. Storage beyond this is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or alienated so that it is no longer possible to assign the calling client.

4.5 The collection of the data for accessing 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. Because there is no other way to use the website, the user should abstain from using it if he has any objection.

06
Revision of the privacy notice

HOER reserves the right to check and revise this data protection notice from time to time, if this is indicated, for example, due to new technical developments, changes in law,  adding, changing or altering features and services or due to changes in the general business operations. It is therefore advisable for the user to read the provisions of this data protection notice from time to time.
