This data protection statement applies to the website of the LAYA Group GmbH, which can be accessed under the domain layagroup.de. Data protection and data security when using our website are very important to us. We would therefore like to inform you at this point which of your personal data we collect when you visit our website and for what purposes it is used.

A data protection officer has been appointed for the controller. You can contact the data protection officer at the above postal address with the addition “The data protection officer” or by e-mail at: datenschutz@layagroup.de

III. Principles of data processing

Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, information such as your name, age, address, telephone number, date of birth, e-mail address, IP address or user behavior. Information for which we cannot establish a link to your person (or can only do so with a disproportionate effort), e.g. by anonymizing the information, is not personal data. The processing of personal data (e.g. the collection, retrieval, use, storage or transmission) always requires a legal basis or your consent. Processed personal data will be deleted as soon as the purpose of the processing has been achieved and there are no longer any legally required retention obligations to be met.

If we process your personal data for the provision of certain offers, you could find more information about the specific processes, the scope and purpose of the data processing, the legal basis for the processing and the respective storage period below.

IV. Processing Operations

1. Provision and usage of the website

a. Type and scope of data processing

When you call up and use our website, we collect the personal data that your browser automatically transmits to our server. This information is temporarily stored in a so-called log file and anonymized after the end of the session. A storage of this personal data together with other personal data of the user does not take place. If you use our website, we collect the following personal data that is technically necessary for us to display our website to you and to ensure its stability and security:

  • IP address of the requesting computer
  • Date and time of access
  • Website from which the access is made (Referrer-URL)
  • Browser and version used
  • Operating system of your computer and the name of your access provider

b. Legal basis

Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the aforementioned data processing. The processing of the personal data is necessary for the provision of a website and thus serves to protect a legitimate interest of our company.

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

The storage in log files is done to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, we use the personal data to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. An evaluation of the personal data for marketing purposes does not take place in this context.

c. Storage duration

The personal data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. In the event of the collection of personal data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended. The collection of personal data for the provision of the website and the storage of personal data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, you have no right to object. As soon as the aforementioned personal data is no longer required to display the website, it will be deleted. Further storage may take place in individual cases if this is required by law.
