1. Principles of Data Processing

Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, name, age, address, telephone number, date of birth, email address, IP address, or user behavior. Information that cannot be linked to an individual (or only with disproportionate effort), for example through anonymization, does not constitute personal data.

The processing of personal data (e.g. collection, use, storage, or transfer) always requires a legal basis or your consent. Personal data will be deleted as soon as the purpose of processing has been fulfilled and no statutory retention obligations apply.

Where personal data is processed to provide specific services, we inform you below about the nature, scope, purpose, legal basis, and storage duration of such processing.
