RELEVANT LEGAL BASIS

Under Article 13 of the GDPR, we hereby inform you of the legal basis for the data processing via this website. Unless otherwise stated below, the following applies for users from the area in which the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) applies (i.e. users from the EU and the EEC):

  • The legal basis for obtaining consent is Article 6 (1a) and Article 7 of the GDPR.
  • The legal basis for processing carried out to perform our services, provide our information, take steps in accordance with our contract and answer queries is Article 6 (1b) of the GDPR.
  • The legal basis for processing to comply with our legal obligations is Article 6 (1c) of the GDPR.
  • The legal basis for the processing necessary to perform a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller is Article 6 (1e) of the GDPR.
  • The legal basis for processing for the purposes of our legitimate interests is Article 6 (1f) of the GDPR. The processing of data for purposes other than those for which they have been collected is based on Article 6 (4) of the GDPR.
  • The processing of special categories of data (pursuant to Article 9 (1) of the GDPR) is based on Article 9 (2) of the GDPR.

Transfers to third countries

If we process data in a third country (i.e. outside the European Union (EU), the European Economic Area (EEA) or the Swiss Confederation), or if this takes place in the context of third-party services or the disclosure or transfer of data to other persons or companies, this shall only occur if it is to meet our contractual or pre-contractual obligations, or is based on a legal obligation or our legitimate interests. Except in cases where we obtain explicit consent or data transfer is contractually necessary, we shall only process the data, or have them processed, in third countries recognised as providing an adequate level of data protection, including US processors certified under the Privacy Shield, or based on specific guarantees such as the contractual obligations of the European Commission’s standard contractual clauses, certification, or binding internal data protection regulations (Articles 44 to 49 of the GDPR, European Commission information page).

DATA PROCESSING ON VISITS TO THIS WEBSITE

Every time you visit our website, data are collected which are required to provide the online services. These consist in:

  • your IP address,
  • address/name of the retrieved page/file,
  • date and time of retrieval, amount of data transferred,
  • message as to whether the retrieval was successful.

These data are temporarily processed in a log file. Before being saved, each data set is anonymised by altering the IP address.

The anonymised data are saved after your visit to the website on a server belonging to Wirtschaftsförderung Sachsen GmbH (the hoster).

When these general data and information are used, it is not possible to connect them to individual persons. This information is only used to

  • (1) correctly deliver the material on our website,
  • (2) optimise the content of our website and advertising for such content,
  • (3) ensure that our information technology systems and the technology of our website function in the long term and
  • (4) provide the criminal prosecution authorities with the information required to prosecute criminal offences in case of a cyberattack.

These anonymously collected data and information are evaluated to raise technological data protection and technological data security, and, ultimately, to maintain an optimal level of protection for the data we process.

The anonymous data on the server log files are stored separately from all other data.

The legal basis for processing and storing the data is Article 6 (1f) of the GDPR.

They shall only be transferred to third parties (e.g. criminal prosecution authorities) if we are legally obliged to do so or if such transfer is necessary for legal or criminal prosecution in the case of attacks on the communications technology.
