§2 Purpose, Legal Basis of Processing, Duration of Storage

Below we inform you about the purpose for which we process personal data, on the basis of which legal basis this is done and for how long the data is stored by KOPRA.
When obtaining consent to the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the legal basis for the processing of personal data. In the processing of personal data necessary for the fulfillment of the user contract of which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR provides the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations required to carry out pre-contractual actions. Insofar as processing of personal data is required to fulfill a legal obligation subject to KOPRA, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR provides the legal basis. If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of KOPRA or a third party and if the interests, basic rights and fundamental freedoms of the person concerned do not prevail over the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR is the legal basis for processing.
The personal data of the data subject are stored as long as the purpose remains.

§3 Data Processing of Personal Data: Collection and Storage

When using the KOPRA web pages, the following data is logged, the storage being used exclusively for internal system-related and statistical purposes: name of the accessed pages, the browser used, the operating system and the requesting domain, date and time of access, used search engines, names downloaded files and your IP address. All data about the use, in particular also your IP address, will be deleted as soon as possible, at the latest after completion of the usage process, as far as the data is not needed for billing purposes.

Your IP address will be needed during the connection to transfer the contents of our platform to your browser. The legal basis for the processing and subsequent storage of the IP address is Article 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The legitimate interest in transmitting the IP address is that it is necessary to display the contents of the platform; without transmission of the IP address it is not possible to display the website.
Additional personal data will only be collected if you provide it voluntarily, for example in the context of a request, or the registration on KOPRA.org.
