We generally only process our users' personal data to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. The processing of our users' personal data generally only takes place with the user's consent. An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for practical reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law. To the extent that we obtain the data subject's consent for processing personal data, Art. 6 (1) (a) DSGVO serves as the legal basis. For the processing of personal data that is necessary to fulfill a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 (1) (b) DSGVO serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation, Art. 6 (1) (c) DSGVO serves as the legal basis. In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 (1) (d) DSGVO serves as the legal basis. If processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of advisa Wirtschaftsakademie e.V. or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interest, Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO serves as the legal basis for processing. The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Storage may also take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need to further store the data in order to conclude or fulfill a contract.

The data is also stored in the log files of our system. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user. The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data and log files is Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO. 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 user's IP address must be stored for the duration of the session. Storage in log files occurs to ensure the functionality of the website. We also use the data to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. The data is not evaluated for marketing purposes in this context. These purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in data processing in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) DSGVO. The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. If the data is collected to provide the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended. If the data is stored in log files, the data is also stored for statistical purposes after the session has ended. The collection of data to provide the website and the storage of data in log files is essential for the operation of the website.
