III. General Information regarding Data Processing

1. Definition of “Personal Data” in Accordance with the EU-GDPR

Data shall be considered to be personal only if they refer to an identified (specific) or identifiable (specifiable) natural person.

  • A person shall be considered to be “identified” if the data are directly associated with the affected person or if such a correlation can be directly created. Examples of a specific person: “Mr. Schmidt works at Company XY” or “The IT Director at Company XY has his birthday on 22/3”.
  • Alternatively, it suffices if the affected person is at least “identifiable”. In this context, it is indeed not immediately obvious to whom the data refer, but the person can be identified by using supplemental information.

Example of an identifiable person: “The employee with personnel No. 1234 has accumulated ten hours of overtime in the last month”. At least for the employees of the personnel division, it is possible to assign the personnel number and thus the entire statement to a concrete person.

Supplemental Information:

The critical question is then namely whether one oneself must possess the supplemental information in order to identify a person or whether it suffices if someone else has it. The European Court of Justice has stated for clarification purposes: A piece of data (a singular piece of data) shall be considered to be personal if an office “possesses the legal means which permit [it] to identify the affected person based upon the supplemental information […]” (EuGH [European Court of Justice], Ruling of 19/10/2016, Rs. [Legal Case] C-582/14, Rn. [Paragraph] 49). The “legal means” shall also be considered to exist if one can commission third parties and they are legally compelled to disclose information regarding identity (BGH, Ruling of 16/05/2017, Az. [File No.] VI ZR 135/13).

Thus, a personal correlation shall only then be considered to not exist if the identification of the affected person is practically not implementable or banned by law.

Example: IP addresses

The issue regarding supplemental information had been ruled on based upon IP addresses by the European Court of Justice and the German Supreme Court.

  • For the telecommunications provider, the IP address which it assigns to an Internet user (customer) shall constitute a piece of personal data. It possesses the actual possibility of creating a correlation between the IP address and the user’s name.
  • For a website operator, the IP address entails a personal correlation because it can use either its own supplemental knowledge (e.g. if a website user uses the Contact Form and enters personal data there) or because it possesses the legal possibilities of requesting the disclosure of such information from the telecommunications provider. This is in principle always the case, in the German Supreme Court’s opinion, because it can contact the competent government agency, for example, in the case of cyberattacks. Thus, it always possesses the legal possibility of being able to identify the user. For this reason, the IP address constitutes a piece of personal data for a website operator.

2. Scope of the Processing of Personal Data

We shall process the personal data of our website users in principle only insofar as this is required in order to provide a functional website as well as our content and services. The processing of personal data shall be done upon a regular basis only subject to the affected party’s consent. An exception shall be made in such cases in which the prior obtaining of consent is not possible owing to actual reasons and/or the processing of the data is permitted by the statutory directives.

3. Legal Basis for the Processing of Personal Data

Insofar as we obtain consent from the affected person for processing procedures for personal data, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) shall serve as the legal basis.

During the processing of personal data which is required for the fulfilment of an agreement whose contractual party is the affected person, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR shall serve as the legal basis. This shall also be valid for processing procedures which are required for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.

Insofar as a processing of personal data is required in order to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c GDPR shall serve as the legal basis.

For the case that vital interests of the affected person or of another natural person make a processing of personal data necessary, Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. d GDPR shall serve as the legal basis.

Is the processing is required in order to safeguard an entitled interest of our company or of a third party and the interests, basic rights and fundamental freedoms of the affected party do not outweigh the aforementioned interest, then Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR shall serve as the legal basis for the processing.

4. Data Deletion and Storage Timeframe

The personal data of the affected person shall be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for the storage ceases to be valid. Moreover, storage may be undertaken if this has been prescribed by the European or national lawmakers in EU directives, laws or any other guidelines to which the responsible party is subject. A blocking or deletion of the data shall also then be undertaken if a storage timeframe prescribed by the aforementioned norms lapses unless the continued storage of the data is required for a conclusion or a fulfilment of a contractual agreement.
