11. Note on external links

This website contains links to websites of third parties ('external links'). These websites are subject to the liability of the respective provider. The provider has therefore checked the third party contents at the initial linkage of the external links for any legal violations. No legal violations were evident at this time. The provider has no influence at all on the current and future design nor on the contents of the linked pages. The setting of external links does not mean that the provider adopts the contents of the reference or link as his own. A continual check of the external links is unreasonable for providers unless there are concrete indications of legal violations. However, in case of the knowledge of legal violations, such links will be deleted without delay.
 

12.Legal basis for the processing

If we obtain consents for specific processing procedures, these are based on Art. 6 I lit. a DS-GVO. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract e.g. for a delivery of goods or for pre-contractual measures e.g. for inquiries, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b DS-GVO. If our company is subject to a legal obligation that necessitates the processing of personal data, for example, for the fulfilment of fiscal obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c DS-GVO. Provided that the processing of personal data is not based on any of the aforementioned legal grounds, we process data in such a way that the justified interests of our company are safeguarded (enhancement of the performance of business activities). We always ensure that no legitimate interests of the person concerned, which take precedence over our justified interests, are in conflict.
