2.1 When visiting the website

When you visit our website www.messeshop-zirener.de, the browser used on your device automatically sends information to our website's server. This information is temporarily stored in a so-called log file. The following information is collected without your intervention and stored for a maximum of 100 days until it is automatically deleted:

• IP address of the requesting computer,
• date and time of access,
• name and URL of the file accessed,
• website from which access is made (referrer URL),

We process the aforementioned data for the following purposes:

• To ensure smooth connection and functionality of the website,
• To ensure convenient use of our website,
• To evaluate system security and stability, and
• For other administrative purposes.

The legal basis for the temporary storage of data is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest arises from the purposes of data collection listed above. Under no circumstances do we use the collected data for the purpose of drawing conclusions about your person.

In addition, we use cookies and analysis services when you visit our website. You can find more detailed information on this in section 5 of this privacy policy.

2.2 Email contact

If you have any questions, we offer you the option of contacting us via the email address provided. In this case, the user's personal data transmitted with the email will be stored.

Data processing for the purpose of contacting us is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR on the basis of your voluntary consent. Your consent will be obtained for the processing of the data as part of the sending process and reference will be made to this privacy policy.

The processing of personal data from the email serves us solely for the purpose of processing the contact and there is also a necessary legitimate interest in the processing of the data.

3. Data deletion and storage period

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 EU regulations, laws, or other provisions to which the controller is subject. The data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.

4. Transfer of data

Your personal data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed below.

We will only disclose your personal data to third parties if:

• you have given your express consent to this in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR,
• the disclosure is necessary in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding interest worthy of protection in the non-disclosure of your data,
• in the event that there is a legal obligation for the disclosure in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR, and
• this is legally permissible and necessary for the performance of contractual relationships with you pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, or
• we are entitled or obliged to disclose data due to legal provisions and/or official or court orders.
• a report gives rise to a reasonable suspicion that a criminal offense has been committed. In this case, the entire report (including name and email address) will also be forwarded to the law enforcement authorities. The lawfulness of the data processing is based on the legal basis “necessary for compliance with a legal obligation” (Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR). The data will only be stored for as long as is necessary to process the report and defend against any legal claims (approx. 3 years).

You can tell whether an individual page of our website is transmitted in encrypted form by the closed display of the key or lock symbol in the lower status bar of your browser.

We also use appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction, or unauthorized access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.
