III. General Information about Processing Data

1. The Scope of Processing Personal Data

We gather and use our users’ personal data only to the extent necessary for providing a functioning website as well as content and performance. The gathering and the use of our users’ personal data takes place regularly only with the user’s consent. There is only an exception to this when previous consent cannot be obtained for essential reasons and the processing of data is permitted by legal regulations.

2. Legal Basis for Processing Personal Data

Insofar as we can obtain the consent from the person concerned for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 paragraph. 1 lit. a from the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis for processing personal data.

Art. 6 paragraph. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing personal data of which the person concerned is the affected party that is required to fulfil a contract. This also applies to the processing that is required for the consummation of pre-contractual measures.

Art. 6 paragraph. 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis insofar as processing personal data is necessary for the fulfilment of a legal obligation that is subject to our company. Art. 6 paragraph. 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis in the event of essential interests of the person concerned or another natural person requiring the processing of personal data. Art. 6 paragraph. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as a legal basis for the processing when the processing is required to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, civil rights and fundamental freedoms of the person concerned does not outweigh the aforementioned interest.

3. Deleting of Data and Storage Period

The personal data of the person concerned will be deleted or blocked as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purpose of its collection. Furthermore, storage can take place if it is provided by a European and national legislator in EU regulations, legislation or other requirements to which the person responsible is subject. Blocking or deleting data also takes place when a storage period, required by the mentioned norms, expires, unless it is necessary to store data for longer for a completion of a contract or a fulfilment of a contract.

The following data will be collected:

Information about the browser type and the version used

The data will also be saved in our system’s log files. This data does not get saved together with other personal data from the user.

2. Legal Basis for Processing Data

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

3. The Purpose of Processing Data

The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to make a delivery of the website on the user’s computer possible. For this purpose, the user’s IP address must be saved for the duration of the session. It is stored in the log files in order to guarantee the functionality of the website. In addition to that, the data serves to optimise our website and to guarantee the safety of our information technology systems. An analysis of the data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context. In these cases, our valid interest also lies in the processing of data according to Art. 6 paragraph. 1 lit. f GDPR.

4. The Duration of Storage

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer necessary for the purpose of collection. In the case of gathering data for the provision of the website, this will be when the respective session has ended.

5. Possibility of Objection and Removal

The gathering of data for the provision of the website and the storing of data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. There is therefore no possibility of objection on the part of the user.

Google will use the generated information on our behalf, in order to analyse the use of our website, compile reports on website activities at mawetrading.com and to provide us with other services related to the website and internet usage.

Google will not merge the IP address collected by Google Analytics with other data from Google. Google may pass on the information collected by Google Analytics to third parties if Google is legally bound to do so or as far as third parties process this data on Google’s behalf.

We have implemented Google Analytics reports for performance of demographic characteristics and interests for our website. We use data and visitor data obtained by third parties (e.g. age, sex, interests) via Google’s interest-based advertising in the context of Google Analytics.

You, the user of our website, can prevent the storage of cookies by going to your browser’s settings.

We would like to inform you that you then might not be able to use all of our website’s functions in their entirety.
