B. General information on data processing
1. Scope of the processing of personal data
We only process the personal data of our users as is necessary to provide a functioning platform and to provide our content, videos and services, while taking due regard to the legal basis as stipulated by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). The legal basis can be a contractual obligation, our legitimate interest or specific consent provided by the individual user. Because prior consent cannot be obtained always, the processing of personal data requires a legal basis to be permitted.
2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data
The individual has given her/his consent to the processing of her/his data for one or more specific purposes (Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR). It is necessary for entering into or performing a contract with the individual (Article 6 (1)(b) GDPR). It is necessary for the purposes of legitimate interests pursued by the controller or a third party, except where these interests are overridden by the interests or the fundamental rights and freedoms of the individual which require protection of personal data (Article 6 (1)(f) GDPR).
3. Data deletion and storage
Living Business will only retain your personal data for as long as necessary to fulfil the purposes we collected it for, including for the purposes of satisfying any legal, accounting, or reporting requirements. To determine the retention period for personal data, the amount, nature, sensitivity of the personal data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure, the purposes for which we process your personal data and whether we can achieve those purposes through other means, and the applicable legal requirements are considered.
C. Provision of the platform and creation of logfiles
1. Description, scope and purpose of data processing
Each time the Living Business platform is accessed, the system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the accessing computer.
The following data is collected:
Information about the browser type and its version
The user’s operating system
