III. General information about data processing
1. Scope of processing of personal data
In principle, we only collect and use personal data from our users to the extent necessary to process our contracts. After fulfilling the contractual obligations, we process data only after consent has been given. An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons or the processing of data is permitted by statutory rules. 2 Legal basis for processing personal data
Insofar as we obtain consent from the data subject for processing personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis. When processing personal data that is necessary to fulfill a contract to which the data subject is a party, Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. Insofar as processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis. If processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interest, Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing. 3. Data deletion and storage period
The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Storage may also take place if this has been provided for by European or national legislators in EU regulations, laws or other regulations to which the person responsible is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted when a storage period prescribed by the above standards expires, unless there is a need to continue storing 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 you visit our website, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the calling computer.
The following data is collected here:
(1) Information about the browser type and version and language used
(2) The user's operating system
(3) The user's IP address
(4) Date and time of access The log files contain IP addresses or other data that make it possible to assign them to a user. This could be the case, for example, if the link to the website from which the user accesses the website or the link to the website to which the user switches contains personal data. The data is also stored in our system's log files. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user. 2. Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.3. Purpose of data processing
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the website to be delivered to the user's computer. To do this, the user's IP address must be stored for the duration of the session. They are stored in log files to ensure the functionality of the website. We also use the data to optimize the website and ensure the security of our information technology systems. There is no evaluation of the data for marketing purposes in this context. These purposes also include our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.4. Duration of storage
The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. If the data is collected to provide the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended. If the data is stored in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. Further storage is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or distorted so that it is no longer possible to assign the calling client.5. Objection and removal option
The collection of data to provide the website and the storage of data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. There is therefore no option for the user to object.

If the request is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

3. Purpose of data processing
The processing of personal data from the input form is for us solely to process the transport request.

If the restriction of processing has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, you will be informed by the person responsible before the restriction is lifted.

a. Obligation to delete
You can request that the person responsible delete the personal data concerning you immediately, and the person responsible is obliged to delete this data immediately if one of the following reasons applies:
(1) The personal data concerning you is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
(2) You withdraw your consent on which processing was based in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) or Article 9 (2) (a) GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for processing.

(5) to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.5. Right to be informed
If you have asserted the right to correct, delete or restrict processing against the person responsible, the controller is obliged to notify all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you has been disclosed of this correction or deletion of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort. You have the right vis-à-vis the person responsible to be informed about these recipients.

6. Right to data portability

(1) processing is based on consent in accordance with Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR or Article 9 (2) (a) GDPR or on a contract in accordance with Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR, and
(2) processing is carried out using automated procedures. In exercising this right, you also have the right to have the personal data concerning you transmitted directly from one person responsible to another person responsible, insofar as this is technically feasible. The freedoms and rights of other persons must not be affected as a result. The right to data portability does not apply to processing of personal data that is necessary for the performance of a task that is in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority that has been transferred to the person responsible.

7. Right of objection
For reasons arising from your particular situation, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data relating to you based on Article 6 (1) (e) or (f) GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The controller will no longer process your personal data unless he can prove compelling legitimate grounds for processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims. If the personal data concerning you is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such marketing; this also applies to profiling, insofar as it is associated with such direct marketing. If you object to processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes. Notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, you have the option to exercise your right of objection in connection with the use of information society services by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.

8. Right to withdraw the declaration of consent under data protection law
You have the right to withdraw your data protection consent at any time. Withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent up to the withdrawal.

9. Automated decision in individual cases, including profiling
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based exclusively on automated processing — including profiling — which has legal effect on you or significantly affects you in a similar way. This does not apply if the decision
(1) is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the person responsible,
(2) is permitted by Union or Member State legislation to which the controller is subject and that legislation contains appropriate measures to protect your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, or
(3) is made with your express consent. However, these decisions must not be based on special categories of personal data under Article 9 (1) GDPR, unless Article 9 (2) lit. A or g GDPR applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect the rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests. With regard to the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the controller shall take appropriate measures to protect the rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain the action of a person from the controller, to express his own position and to challenge the decision.

10. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement, if you believe that the processing of personal data concerning you is contrary to the GDPR. The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant of the status and results of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Article 78 GDPR.

VIII. Online presence in social media
The We maintain online presences within social networks and platforms in order to be able to communicate with customers, interested parties and users active there and to inform them about our services there. We would like to point out that user data may be processed outside the European Union. This may result in risks for users because, for example, it could make it more difficult to enforce users' rights. With regard to US providers who are certified under the Privacy Shield, we would like to point out that they are committed to complying with EU data protection standards. Furthermore, user data is usually processed for market research and advertising purposes. For example, user profiles can be created from user behavior and the resulting interests of users. The user profiles can in turn be used, for example, to place advertisements within and outside the platforms that presumably match the interests of users. For these purposes, cookies are usually stored on users' computers, in which user behavior and interests are stored. In addition, data can also be stored in the user profiles regardless of the devices used by the users (in particular if the users are members of the respective platforms and are logged in to them). Users' personal data is processed on the basis of our legitimate interests in effectively informing users and communicating with users in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. GDPR. If users are asked by the respective providers for consent to data processing (i.e. declare their consent, for example by ticking a check box or confirming a button), the legal basis for processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a., Art. 7 GDPR. For a detailed description of the respective processing and the objection options (opt-out), we refer to the provider's information linked below. Also in the case of requests for information and the authority Establishing user rights, we point out so that these can be claimed most effectively from providers. Only the providers have access to user data and can directly take appropriate measures and provide information.
