II. General Information on Data Processing

1. Extent of the Processing of Personal Data

Carey AG basically processes personal data of the users only to the extent that this is necessary for the provision of a functioning website and of our contents and services. Personal data of the users is generally processed only with the consent of the users. An exception applies in cases where for factual reasons it is not possible to obtain prior consent and the processing of the data is legally permitted.

2. Legal Basis for the Processing of Personal Data

Provided that Carey AG obtains consent for the personal data processing operations from the data subject, art. 6 para. 1 a of the EU Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) forms the legal basis.

Art. 6 para. 1 b GDPR forms the legal basis where the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party. This also applies where processing operations are necessary to take steps prior to entering into a contract.

Where processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which Carey AG as a company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 c GDPR forms the legal basis.

If processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by Carey AG or by a third party, and such interests are not overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, Art. 6 para. 1 f GDPR forms the legal basis for the data processing.

3. Data Erasure and Storage Period

The personal data of the data subject will be erased or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Storage can continue after this time if this is required under the statutory storing obligations to which the controller is subject. Blocking or erasure of the data will also take place on the expiry of a storage period prescribed under the above-mentioned norms, unless there is a need for continued storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract.

III. Provision of the Website and Creation of Logfiles

1. Description and Extent of the Data Processing

Every time the Carey AG website is accessed, the system automatically records data and information from the computer system of the accessing computer.

  1. The following data is collected:
  2. Information about the browser type and the version used
  3. The operating system of the user
  4. The internet service provider of the user
  5. The user’s IP address
  6. Date and time of the access
  7. Websites from which the user’s system reached our website
  8. Websites which were accessed by the user’s system via our website

This data is also stored in the log files of Carey AG’s system. There is no storage of this data together with other personal data of the user.

2. Legal Basis for the Data Processing

Art. 6 para. 1 f GDPR is the legal basis for the temporary storage of the data and log files.

3. Purpose of the Data Processing

The temporary storage by the system of the IP address is necessary in order to enable the website to be delivered to the user’s computer. For this purpose, the IP address of the user must continue to be stored for the duration of the session.

The purpose of the storage in log files is to secure the proper functioning of the website. Moreover, the data helps to optimize the website and to ensure that the information technology systems of Carey AG are secure. There is no evaluation of the data for marketing purposes.

These purposes provide the legitimate interest of Carey AG in the data processing according to Art. 6 para. 1 f GDPR.

4. Storage Period

The data is erased as soon as it is no longer necessary for achieving the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of the collection of data for delivering the website, this is the case when the respective session is terminated.

In the case of the storage of data in the log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. Storage which goes beyond this is possible. In this case the users‘ IP addresses are erased or alienated, so that it is no longer possible to assign them to the accessing client.

5. Possibilities of Objection and Removal

The recording of the data for the provision of the website and the storage of the data in the log files is essential for the operation of the website. The user has no possibility of objection.

IV. Use of Cookies

The Carey AG website does not use Cookies.

9. Automated individual decision-making, including profiling

The user has the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing – including profiling – which produces legal effects concerning the user or similarly significantly affects the user. This does not apply if the decision
