General information on data processing

1. Scope of processing of personal data

   The controller processes the user's personal data only insofar as this is necessary to provide a functioning website as well as its contents and services.

2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

   Insofar as the controller obtains the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 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 para. 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 fulfill a legal obligation to which the controller is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis.
   If processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of the controller or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interest, Art. 6 para. 1 letter 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 fulfillment of a contract.

4. Encryption of data transmission

   For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content that the user sends to the controller, this website uses SSL or TLS encryption. This means that data transmitted by the user via this website cannot be read by third parties. An encrypted connection can be recognized by the browser's "https://" address line and the lock symbol in the browser line.

Provision of the website and creation of log files

1. Description and scope of data processing

   This website is hosted by a German webhoster, ALL-INKL.COM - Neue Medien Münnich, Hauptstraße 68, 02742 Friedersdorf. Like the controller, this web host is bound by the GDPR and all other data protection regulations applicable in Germany. The controller has also concluded an order processing contract with the web host within the meaning of Art. 28 para. 3 GDPR. This is a contract in which the web host undertakes to protect the transmitted data and to process it in accordance with the data protection regulations on behalf of the controller.
   Each time this website is accessed, the web host's system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the calling computer.
   The following data is collected:

   1. Information about the browser type and version used
   2. The user's operating system
   3. The user's Internet service provider
   4. The IP address of the user
   5. Date and time of access
   6. Websites from which the user's system reaches our website

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 GDPR.

3. Purpose of data processing

   Temporary storage of the IP address is necessary to enable delivery of the website 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 to optimize the website and to ensure the security of the information technology systems. An evaluation of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context.
   These purposes also include the controller's legitimate interest in data processing pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

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 seven 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.
   Log files can also be stored for up to four weeks as part of data backups.

5. Possibility of objection and erasure

   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.

When using the plug-in, such as clicking the start button of a video, this information is also assigned to the user account.

Sharing-Buttons

This section does not apply to the following website(s):
https://thefirstpc.com
https://www.achimbaque.com

Users can share content from this website on social networks such as Facebook, Twitter, Google+, XING and through instant messaging services such as WhatsApp. Plug-ins from the providers of the respective services are used for this purpose. When the user clicks on the plug-in to share content from this website over the network, a connection is established with the respective service. This content is then made visible in the user account of the user according to his settings for the privacy of the service - e.g. only to a certain group of people in the network or publicly.
Normally, these plug-ins transfer user data to the social network server immediately when the website is accessed, regardless of whether the users click on the plug-in or are registered as users on the social network at all. In this way, providers can track the user's surfing behavior and evaluate it for their own marketing purposes (user tracking). To avoid this, Shariff is used on this website. With Shariff, the connection to the service's server is not established until the user clicks on the plug-in.
Shariff is kindly made available online as open source software by the computer magazine c't und heise. You can find more information on Heise's website: http://www.heise.de/ct/artikel/Shariff-Social-Media-Buttons-mit-Datenschutz-2467514.html

   If the processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted, such data may only be processed - apart from being stored - with your consent or for the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending rights or protecting the rights of another natural or legal person or on grounds of an important public interest of the Union or a Member State.
   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.

4. Right of erasure

   1. Duty to delete

      You may request the data controller to delete the personal data relating to you without delay and the controller is obliged to delete this data without delay if one of the following reasons applies:

   If you have exercised your right to have the data controller correct, delete or limit the processing, he/she is obliged to inform all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed of this correction or deletion of the data or restriction on processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.
   The person responsible shall have the right to be informed of such recipients.

6. Right to data transferability

   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.

   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 DSBER; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
   The data controller no longer processes the personal data concerning you, unless he can prove compelling reasons worthy of protection for the processing, which outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

8. Right of appeal to a independent supervisory authority

   Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right of appeal to a independent supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State where you reside, work or suspect of infringement, if you believe that the processing of personal data concerning you is contrary to the GDPR.
