This is necessary for the operation of the website, as well as for the establishment, execution and execution of the existing user agreement and is also possible without your consent.

A transfer also takes place if we are entitled or obliged to transfer data due to legal provisions and/or official or judicial orders. This may include, in particular, the provision of information for law enforcement, security or the enforcement of intellectual property rights.

11. Data Security

Unfortunately, the transmission of information over the Internet is never 100% secure, which is why we cannot guarantee the security of the data transmitted over the Internet to our website. However, we use technical and organizational measures to protect our website against loss, destruction, access, alteration or distribution of your data by unauthorized persons. In particular, your data will be transmitted to us in encrypted form. We use the coding system SSL/TLS (Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security). Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.

12. Duration of storage of the personal data

Concerning the storage period, we delete personal data as soon as their storage is no longer necessary for the fulfilment of the original purpose and statutory retention periods no longer exist. The statutory retention periods are ultimately the criterion for the final duration of the storage of personal data. After the expiry of the period, the corresponding data will be routinely deleted. If retention periods exist, a restriction of processing takes place in the form of blocking the data.
