Legal basis for processing personal data

If we receive consent from the data subject for processing operations involving personal data, Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data.

If the processing of personal data is necessary to comply with the legal obligation to which we are subject, art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

In case the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person make processing of personal data necessary, Art. 6 (1) (d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of us or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not exceed the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing. This does not apply if we act sovereignly in the respective processing.

This tells the Facebook, Instagram or Twitter server which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your Facebook, Instagram, Twitter account, you allow Facebook, Instagram, Twitter to assign your surfing behavior directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your Facebook, Instagram, Twitter account. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter are used in the interest of attractive presentation of our online offers.
