Data protection declaration GDPR

1. Newsletter tracking

If the website uses newsletter tracking, the associated data processing must be dealt with separately. A standard of justification for data processing can be found in Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

2. Blog with comment function

When operating a blog with a comment function, additional personal data (example: pseudonyms) are stored. A possibility of subscribing to comments must also be discussed. It should only be possible to comment after obtaining consent to process the personal data. In this case a justification according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR is possible.

3. Processing of special categories of personal data, Art. 9 GDPR

The processing of personal data from which the racial and ethnic origin, political opinions, religious and ideological convictions or the union membership emerge, as well as the processing of genetic data, biometric data for the unique identification of a natural person, health data or data on sex life or sexual orientation a natural person are generally prohibited. However, Art. 9 Para. 2 GDPR contains a catalog of exceptions. If website operators process data of this type on their website, a check must be carried out in advance. The corresponding permission standard must then be named in the data protection declaration.

4. E-commerce

If the website operator offers the users a platform for the conclusion of contracts (e.g. purchase or service contracts), personal data of the contractual partner are usually also collected in the context of the conclusion of the contract. The website operator must point out this data processing separately and in detail. As far as the processing of the data is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the permission norm for the data processing.

5. Passing on personal data to third parties

A large number of websites use third-party extensions. In such implementations, personal data is often passed on to third-party providers or automatically transmitted. The type, scope, purpose and duration of this processing of personal data can vary in individual cases. A comprehensive list of all situations in which personal data is passed on to third parties would go beyond the scope of this model data protection declaration. The website operator must therefore check on a case-by-case basis which third-party services he uses on his website and whether there is any transfer of personal data. Accordingly, he has to include this data processing in the data protection declaration according to the specifications (A.II.).

Examples of the transfer of personal data to third parties can be:

a) Passing on to service providers

Personal data is often passed on to service providers (e.g. suppliers), particularly when concluding contracts via the website. However, service providers can also act solely in the interests of the website operator (e.g. technical service).

b) Payment services and payment methods

The transfer of data to payment services is a special case of disclosure to service providers.

c) Third-party cookies

The integration of your own cookies is part of the model data protection declaration (BV). In addition, third-party cookies are often used. These are to be described in detail. Users are to be informed of the use of third-party cookies when accessing the website. A way to prevent the storage of these cookies can be found in the browser settings. The legal basis for the use of third-party cookies is Article 6, Paragraph 1, Letter f of the GDPR. However, a legitimate interest in the use of cookies must then also be stated in individual cases.

d) Use of social media plugins

When using social media plugins, personal user data is forwarded to the providers of social networks. According to the previous legal situation, it was advisable to only use such plugins as part of a "two-click solution". Accordingly, the data was only transmitted with the prior consent of the user. Even after the introduction of the GDPR, this path is feasible and probably legally secure. The legal basis for processing the data after the user has given his consent is Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

e) website analysis services

Website analysis services (e.g. Google Analytics or Adobe Analytics) to increase the efficiency of your own website, which are operated by third-party providers, require the transfer of data about website visitors to the third-party provider. As a rule, the users' consent is not obtained. A justification based on Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR is conceivable if a legitimate interest on the part of the website operator can be put forward. In order to protect the interests of users in protecting their personal data, however, it is advisable to pseudonymize the data. In this case, there will probably be nothing against the use of the analysis services and the associated transfer of the pseudonymized data. The exact use must be documented in the data protection declaration.

f) Advertising and Marketing Services

If advertising is placed on the website, this is usually done with the involvement of third-party providers (e.g. Google AdSense or AdWords). Usually, personal data of the user is passed on to the intermediary in the form of the IP address. If the advertising is necessary to finance the website, a justification according to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR appears possible.

II. Specifications for adding further elements

The addition of further elements to the model data protection declaration must state the type, scope, purpose, duration and revocation options of the respective data processing. The structure could be designed as follows:

1. Scope of the processing of personal data

It describes in as much detail as possible which personal data is processed on the website by whom and in what way.

2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

The legal basis for the processing of personal data is named here. As a rule, this will come from the catalog of Art. 6 Para. 1 GDPR.

3. Purpose of data processing

Here it is described in detail which purposes the website operator aims to process personal data. If the processing is based on the norm of Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR, this will usually also reflect the legitimate interest in the processing. In this case, however, it must always be checked whether there are also milder means to achieve the purpose that are less detrimental to the interests of users in protecting their personal data.

4. Duration of storage

In principle, the data is deleted as soon as the purpose for which it was collected has been fulfilled. However, it must be specified in more detail in each individual case when this is the case for the specific application. If no precise information can be given, criteria must at least be named that make it easier for the user to determine the time of deletion.

5. Opposition and removal option

For each data processing, the user must be given information about how the processing of the data can be prevented or data that has already been processed can be prematurely deleted. If the user has given his consent to processing, it must be possible to revoke it at any time. The revocation must not be more difficult than giving your consent. The procedure for submitting the revocation must be described.

III. General information on data processing

1. Scope of the processing of personal data

In principle, we only process personal data of our users insofar as this is necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. The processing of personal data of our users takes place regularly only with the consent of the user. An exception applies in those cases in which prior consent cannot be obtained for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law.

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 EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.

When processing personal data that is required 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 the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Article 6 Paragraph 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis.

In the event that 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 safeguard 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 first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 (1) lit.f GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing.

3. Data deletion and storage duration

The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Storage can also take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other provisions to which the person responsible is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the standards mentioned expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.
