III General information on data processing
1 Scope of the processing of personal data
We only process personal data of our users if this is necessary to provide a functional website as well as our contents and services. The processing of personal data of our users takes place regularly only after consent of the user. An exception applies in those cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for real 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, Art. 6 (1) lit. a EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.
In the processing of personal data required for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 (1) lit. 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 required to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis.
In the event that the 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 erasure and storage time
The personal data of the person concerned will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Furthermore, data may be stored if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU 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 aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract.
IV Provision of the website and creation of log files
1 Description and scope of data processing
Every 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:
- information about the browser type and version used
- the user's operating system
- the IP address of the user
- date and time of access
- websites from which the user's system reaches our website
- websites and files accessed by the user's system via our website
- user ID for HTTP authentication (not used)
- access mode (GET/POST) and protocol (HTTP 1.1, 2.0, …)
- size of the requested file/page
- HTTP status code
The data is also stored in the log files of our system. 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 (1) lit. f GDPR
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. For this the IP address of the user must remain stored for the duration of the session. The data is stored in log files to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, the data serves us 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. Our legitimate interest in data processing pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR also lies in these purposes.
4 Duration of storage
The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary 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 when the respective session has ended. If the data is stored in log files, this is the case after 90 days at the latest. Further storage is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or alienated, so that an assignment of the calling client is no longer possible.
5 Possibility of opposition and elimination
The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of 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.
V. Verwendung von Cookies
We do not set cookies that permanently store personal data.
VI Contact forms and e-mail contact
1 Description and scope of data processing
Two contact forms are available on our website. Both serve different purposes. One contact form is used for direct electronic contact with LGBS, e.g. for initiating business with LGBS or for general questions about LGBS. The second contact form serves exclusively to process data protection issues and questions. The request is then forwarded directly to the department.
If a user takes advantage of this possibility, the data entered in the input mask will be transmitted to us and stored in both contact forms. This data is:
- Surname, first name
- Title (Mrs/Mr)
- Title and company (optional)
- E-mail address
- Phone number (optional)
- User's message
Your consent is obtained for the processing of the data within the scope of the sending process and reference is made to this data protection declaration. Alternatively, you can contact us via the e-mail address provided. In this case, the user's personal data transmitted by e-mail will be stored. In this context, the data will not be passed on to third parties. The data is used exclusively for processing the conversation.
2 Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the processing of data is Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR if the user has given his consent. The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of sending an e-mail is Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. If the e-mail contact aims at the conclusion of a contract, then additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 exp. 1 lit. b GDPR.
3 Purpose of data processing
The processing of the personal data from the input mask serves us only for the treatment of the establishment of contact. In the event of contact by e-mail, this also constitutes the necessary legitimate interest in the processing of the data. The other personal data processed during the sending process serve to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.
4 Duration of storage
The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. For the personal data from the input mask of the contact form and those that were sent by e-mail, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user is finished. The conversation is terminated when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the facts in question have been finally clarified.
The additional personal data collected during the sending process will be deleted after a period of seven days at the latest.
Die während des Absendevorgangs zusätzlich erhobenen personenbezogenen Daten werden spätestens nach einer Frist von sieben Tagen gelöscht.
5 Possibility of opposition and elimination
The user has the possibility at any time to revoke his consent to the processing of personal data, e.g. in text form to datenschutz(at)dlh.de. If the user contacts us by e-mail, he can object to the storage of his personal data at any time, e.g. in text form to datenschutz(at)dlh.de. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued.
All personal data stored in the course of contacting us will be deleted in this case.

If the processing restriction has been restricted according to the above conditions, you will be informed by the person responsible before the restriction is lifted.

- The personal data concerning you are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
- You revoke your consent, on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6 (1) lit. a or Art. 9 (2) lit. a GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.

c) Exceptions
The right to deletion does not exist insofar as the processing is necessary

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to the person responsible in a structured, common and machine-readable format.

- processing is carried out by means of automated methods.
In exercising this right, you also have the right to request that the personal data concerning you be transferred directly from one data controller to another data controller, insofar as this is technically feasible.

The right to transferability shall not apply to the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority conferred on the controller.
7 Right of objection
You have the right to object at any time, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you under Article 6 (1) (e) or (f) of the GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
