II. General information on data processing

1. Processing of personal data
As a general rule, we only process our user’ personal data to the extent that this is necessary to provide a functional website (internet page) and our content and services. Personal data is generally only processed with the user’s consent. An exception to this applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for actual reasons and when processing of the data is necessary or permitted within the framework of the statutory provisions.

2. Purpose of processing and type of data processed
The data is processed in order to make our website with its functions, content and services available online. This should enable you to have as pleasant and comfortable a visit to our website as possible. You should have the opportunity to get an overview of us and the services we offer and to communicate with us. We would like to be able to answer inquiries and maintain contact with you. The data is also used to optimize our website and the comfort of your use. The data is also used to ensure the functionality of our website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems and their stability. In order to meet these goals, we collect the data required for this purpose. In addition to usage and communication data, which is automatically recorded by my system, this also includes contact details such as your e-mail address, if you want this and provide me with this data voluntarily.

3. Legal basis for the processing of personal data
If we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, the legal basis is Art. 6 § 1 lit. a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). If the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a contract with the data subject, the legal basis is Art. 6 § 1 lit. b) GDPR. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary in the context of carrying out pre-contractual measures, as well as answering enquiries. Art. 6 § 1 lit. c) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data that is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation of our office. Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis if the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person make the processing of personal data necessary. Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing if this is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of us or our office or a third party and the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interest.

4. Storage period and data deletion
As soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies, the personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked. If statutory provisions or other regulations to which we are subject as the responsible party provide for this, storage may also take place beyond this period. The data will also be deleted or blocked if a legally prescribed storage period applicable to me expires, unless further storage is necessary for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.

5. Contract processing and transfer of data to third parties
We only grant others, such as contract processors or other third parties, access to personal data on the basis of legal permission (e.g. if you have given your consent, if there is a legal obligation or if this is necessary to fulfill a contract or our legitimate interests require it, as is the case on the basis of Art. 6 § 1 lit. f GDPR, e.g. when using web hosts to securely provide our website). If we commission third parties to process personal data, this is done on the basis of a contract processing agreement based on Art. 28 GDPR.

In addition, we would like to inform you of the following:

When you visit or access our website www.castaic.de, data is automatically sent from your device or its browser to us or our hosting provider to ensure that our website functions stably and securely, and the information is temporarily stored in a so-called server log file. These server log files store, among other things, the operating system of the device you are using, the type and version of your Internet browser, the website you used to access our website, my website and the subpages you visit, the time of each access and the IP address of the device you are using or the internet connection you are using to access our website. This data is not stored together with your other personal data or merged with data from other sources.

2. Purpose of data processing
The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the website to be delivered to the user’s computer. The data is temporarily stored in log files to ensure the functionality of our website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems and their stability, as well as to investigate or prosecute any misuse or fraudulent activities that may be necessary. The data is not evaluated for marketing purposes.

3. Legal basis for data processing
The legal basis for the processing and temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest lies in securing and improving the functionality and security of our website and arises from the purposes of data processing listed above.

4. Storage period:
As soon as the data is no longer required to achieve the stated purposes for which it was collected, it will be deleted. If the data is stored in log files, it will be stored for a period of 7 days for security reasons. After that, it will be deleted. If longer storage is necessary in individual cases for the purposes of investigating or prosecuting abuses or fraudulent activities, the data will be deleted once the relevant facts or incident have been clarified.

V. Google analytics and anonymization

1. General information, type and scope as well as purpose and basis of data collection This website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics provided by Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (Google).

Google Analytics uses so-called ›cookies‹, text files that are stored on your computer and that enable an analysis of your use of our website. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. However, if IP anonymization is activated on this website, your IP address will be shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there.

We only use Google Analytics with the IP anonymization extension. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other data held by Google. On behalf of us as the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide us with other services relating to website activity and internet usage.

The use of Google Analytics and the storage of cookies is based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. As a website operator, we have a legitimate interest in analyzing user behavior in order to optimize and economically design our website.

The data stored as part of the use of Google Analytics is automatically deleted after 14 months. The expiry period of 14 months begins again each time the website is visited.

2. Possibility of removal, prevention

However, on some parts of our website we offer you the option of accessing the relevant pages via a so-called external link. At the same time, however, we would like to point out that, as is usual, when you use the link you will be taken to an external website and we have no influence on when and what data is collected on the external website. You can obtain information about this from the respective website operator on their website.

VIII. Security

To increase security and to protect the transmission of confidential content, we use the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) or TLS (Transport Layer Security) method for encryption when visiting our website.

We also use suitable technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or against unauthorized access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments. One hundred percent protection against unauthorized access is not achievable for transmissions over the Internet, as well as via websites or e-mail, but we try to ensure appropriate protection within the scope of what is technically possible and with reasonable effort.
