The respective controller is responsible for determining the applicable legal basis for such processing.
3. Categories of personal data processed
Personal data will only be processed by us if we are legally permitted to do so under statutory provisions, if such processing is based on our legitimate interests, or if you have given us your consent.
Depending on your use of the website, we may process the following categories of personal data:
Technical and Usage Data
Every time you access our website and every time you retrieve a file, general data about this process is automatically stored in a log file. The storage serves exclusively system-related and statistical purposes (on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 letter b) GDPR), as well as in exceptional cases for reporting criminal offences (on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 letter e) GDPR).
The data will not be passed on to third parties or evaluated in any other way, unless there is a legal obligation to do so (Art. 6 para. 1 letter e) GDPR).
In detail, the following data record is stored for each retrieval:

The Nextcloud instance is hosted by IONOS, the same managed cloud provider that also hosts this wordpress instance. Any processing of personal data is limited to what is technically necessary to deliver the requested content and operate the service in accordance with applicable data protection laws.
The embedded calendar is used solely to display calendar information and does not include advertising or third-party tracking functionality.

If we use subcontractors to provide our services, we take appropriate legal precautions as well as appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure the protection of personal data in accordance with the relevant legal regulations.
Where personal data is transferred to external websites for event registration, the processing of such data is governed by the privacy policies of the respective controllers.
Personal data is not sold or otherwise commercially exploited.
8. Data retention
Personal data is retained only for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes for which it was collected, or for as long as legal retention obligations apply.
