2 General information on data processing

Our website collects a number of general data and information with each call. This general data and information is stored in the log files of the web server. When using this general data and information, no conclusions are drawn about the person concerned. This information is used only to correctly deliver the content of our website, to optimize the content of the website and advertising for it, to ensure the long-term functionality of our IT systems and the technology of our website, and to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for law enforcement in the event of a cyber attack. This anonymous data and information is therefore evaluated both statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security within the company in order to ultimately ensure an optimum level of protection for the personal data processed. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

2.1 Scope of processing of personal data

We collect and use the personal data of our users only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. The collection and use of personal data of our users takes place regularly only with the consent of the user. An exception applies in those cases in which it is not possible to obtain prior consent for actual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by statutory provisions.

2.2 Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Where we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Article 6(1)(a) of the EU Basic Data Protection Regulation (DS-GVO) serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data. Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DS-GVO serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data required for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c DS-GVO is the legal basis. If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DS-GVO serves as the legal basis for the processing.

2.3 Data deletion and storage period

The personal data of the person concerned will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. In addition, the data may be stored if the European or national legislator has provided for this in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the person responsible is subject. The data shall also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless it is necessary for further storage of the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract.

3. Provision of the website and creation of log files

3.1 Description and scope of data processing

Each time you access our website, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the accessing computer.

The following data is collected:

• Information about browser type and version used
• Operating system of the user
• Internet service provider of the user
• IP address of the user
• Date and time of access
• Websites from which the user's system accesses our website
• Websites accessed by the user's system through our website

The log files contain IP addresses or other data that can be assigned to a user if the link to the website from which the user accesses the website or the link to the website to which the user switches contains personal data. The data is also stored in the log files of our system. These data are not stored together with other personal data of the user.

3.2 Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DS-GVO.

3.3 Purpose of data processing

The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable delivery of the website to the user's computer. For this purpose, 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. The data is also used to optimise 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. These purposes also include our legitimate interest in data processing pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.

3.4 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 to provide the website, this is the case when the session in question has ended. If the data is stored in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. A storage going beyond this 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.

3.5 Objection and removal options

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is mandatory for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility for the user to object.

4. Use of cookies

This website uses cookies. Cookies are text files which are stored on a computer system via an Internet browser. Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters through which web pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the person concerned from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A particular Internet browser can be recognized and identified by its unique cookie ID.

This cookie contains a characteristic string of characters that enables the browser to be uniquely identified when the website is called up again. We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly. Some elements of our website require that the calling browser can be identified even after a page change. The following data is stored and transmitted in the cookies:

• Language settings

Our legitimate interest in the processing of personal data pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DS-GVO also lies in these purposes.

4.2 Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DS-GVO.

4.3 Duration of storage, objection and removal options

Cookies are stored on the user's computer and transmitted to our site by the user. Therefore, you as a user have full control over the use of cookies. You can deactivate or restrict the transmission of cookies by changing the settings in your Internet browser. Cookies that have already been saved can be deleted at any time. This can also be done automatically. If cookies are deactivated for our website, it is possible that all functions of the website can no longer be used to their full extent.

7. Social Sharing Buttons

The buttons delivered by the buttons on our websitedo not use button plug-insof the corresponding services (Facebook, Twitter, etc.), but are generated by the content management system, the software with which we present our homepage. This means that these services cannot use the buttons to track your website. The buttons themselves are pure links to the respective parts of the function of the service. With the click the URL and possibly the page title of the page to be shared is transferred.

8. Data protection declaration for the social media

The BRS e.V. takes the current discussion about data protection in social networks very seriously. It is currently not legally conclusively clarified whether and to what extent all networks offer their services in accordance with European data protection regulations. We therefore expressly draw your attention to the fact that the Twitter, Facebook, Xing, Google+ and YouTube services used by BRS e.V. store the data of their users (e.g. personal information, IP address) in accordance with their data usage guidelines and use them for business purposes. BRS e.V. has no influence on data collection and its further use by social networks. For example, there is no information on the extent to which, where and for how long the data is stored, the extent to which the networks comply with existing deletion obligations, which evaluations and links are made with the data and to whom the data is passed on.

9. Links to websites of other providers

Our online offer contains links to websites of other providers. We have no influence on whether these providers comply with data protection regulations and cannot accept any liability either for them or for their content.

10. Rights of the person concerned
