III. General information on data processing

1. Scope of processing personal data

We generally only process our users’ personal data as far as this is necessary in order to provide a functioning website and also our content and services. Our users’ personal data is generally processed after the user has given their consent. The only exceptions to this are cases where obtaining consent beforehand is not possible for practical reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by statutory regulations.

Personal data includes information such as your name, address, postal address, phone number and mail address. Information which is not associated with your identity (such as the number of users of certain web pages) is not included. 

Your data is transferred via an encrypted https connection.

We use the information received from you exclusively to send you the publications you order by post or to give you information on new press releases according to the selection you make yourself and to simplify the registration process for events. The data you supply is not used for anything beyond this.

 

2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Insofar as the consent of the person affected must be obtained for processing personal data, Article 6 Paragraph1 lit a of the EU data protection directive (GDPR) shall serve as a legal basis.

When processing personal data which is necessary to fulfil a contract and the person affected is a party to the contract, Article 6 Paragraph 1 lit. b GDPR shall serve as a legal basis. This also applies to processing procedures which are necessary to perform pre-agreement measures.

Insofar as personal data is processed to fulfil a legal obligation which Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Regional Government is subject to, Article 6 Paragraph lit c GDPR shall serve as a legal basis.

In case the vital interests of the person affected or some other natural person make the processing of personal data necessary, Article 6 Paragraph 1 lit. d GDPR shall serve as a basis.

If processing is necessary to complete a task which is in the public interest or if it is done during the process of exercising public authority which has been transferred to the responsible person, Article 6 Paragraph 1 lit. e in conjunction with Section 4 Paragraph 1 of the State Data Protection Act shall serve as a legal basis.

 

3. Data deletion and storage duration

The personal data of the person affected is deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for storage no longer applies. Storage can take place beyond this if this is provided for by European or national legislators, union law ordinances, laws or other regulations which the responsible person is subject to. Data blockage or deletion takes place when the storage deadline dictated by the aforementioned standards expires unless there are further grounds for the continued storage of the data for concluding an agreement or contract fulfilment.

We store your data on especially protected servers with the PLANET IC GmbH, Mettenheimer Str. 9-15, 19061 Schwerin.  Access is only possible for a small circle of especially authorised persons who are involved with the technical, commercial or editorial supervision of the server.

The following data is stored temporarily in a log file in connection with access to the web pages of investores portal:

-       Information on the browser type and the version used

-       The user’s IP address

-       The date and time of access

-       The method, path, name and parameters of the file accessed

-       The quantity of data transmitted

-      A report on successful access

This information flows anonymised into an evaluation statistic. The log files recorded are deleted three days after at the latest.

2. Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and logfiles is Article 6 Paragraph 1 lit. c, e GDPR.

3. Purpose of data processing

The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary in order to make possible the delivery of the website to the user’s computer. The IP address must be stored for this purpose for the duration of the session.

In case of the storage of data in logfiles, this is the case seven days afterwards at the latest. Further storage takes place during the statistical evaluation with the free web analysis software AWStats. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are anonymized, so that an assignment of the calling client is no longer possible.

5. Possibility of objection and elimination

The collection of data to provide the website and the storage of data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. There is therefore no possibility for the user to object.
