1. Data processing general information

1.1. Purpose and scope of personal data processing

living-c eCommerce Solutions GmbH (hereinafter referred to as „LIVING-C“ oder „we“) processes user personal data only to the extent necessary to provide a functional website and our content and services. When you visit our websites, the following data is processed:

  • IP address
  • Browser (type, version, language)
  • Operating system
  • Date and time access
  • Files retrieved on our website
  • Website from which the user has reached our website

Processing and temporary saving of the IP address is necessary to enable the website to be delivered to the user's computer. Therefore, the user’s IP address must be saved for the duration of the session. The log files contain the IP addresses or other data that makes it possible to identify the user. The data is saved in the log files to ensure the functionality of the websites. The data also serves to optimise our websites, to ensure the security of our information technology systems and to detect and analyse attempts of fraud or attacks. Any processing of personal data is carried out exclusively for the aforementioned purposes and to the extent necessary to achieve these purposes. This data is not used for the purpose of advertisement, customer advice or market research.

1.2. Legal bases for the processing of personal data

Our users’ personal data is processed regularly with the user’s consent. Cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for real reasons constitute an exception and we are permitted to process the data by legal regulations. Data and log files are stored on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 (f) GDPR.

1.3. Data deletion and storage duration

The personal data of the person in question is deleted or blocked by us as soon as the purpose of the storage ceases to apply. In case of data processing for the provision of the websites, the deletion takes place once the respective session has ended. In case of storage of personal data in log files, the deletion takes place after 30 days. Extended storage is possible if the users’ IP addresses are deleted or altered beforehand, so it is no longer possible to allocate them to the accessing client.
