Processing of your data within the scope of the core activity of our company

If you are our customer or business partner or are interested in our services, the type, scope and purpose of the processing of your data depends on the contractual or pre-contractual relationship existing between us. In this sense, the data processed by us includes all those data that are or were provided by you for the purpose of making use of the contractual or pre-contractual services and that are required for processing your enquiry or the contract concluded between us. Unless otherwise stated in the further notes to this data protection declaration, the processing of your data and its transfer to third parties is limited to those data that are necessary and appropriate to answer your enquiries and/or to fulfil the contract concluded between you and us, to protect our rights and to fulfil legal obligations. We will inform you of the data required for this before or during the data collection process. Insofar as we use third-party providers to provide our services, the data protection notices of the respective third-party providers apply.

Data concerned:

  • Inventory data (e.g. names, addresses)
  • Payment data (e.g. bank details, invoices)
  • Contact details (e.g. e-mail address, telephone number, postal address)
  • Contract data (e.g. subject matter of the contract, duration of the contract)

Persons concerned:Interested parties, business and contractual partners

Purpose of processing: processing of contractual services, communication as well as answering contact requests, office and organisational procedures.

Legal basis: Contract fulfilment and pre-contractual enquiries, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO, legal obligation, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c DSGVO, legitimate interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO

Your rights under the GDPR

According to the GDPR, you are entitled to the rights listed below, which you can assert at any time with the controller named in section 1 of this privacy policy:

  • Right to information: You have the right to request information from us as to whether and which of your data we process.
  • Right to rectification: You have the right to request the rectification of inaccurate data or the completion of incomplete data.
  • Right to erasure: You have the right to request the erasure of your data.
  • Right to restriction: In certain cases, you have the right to request that we only process your data in a restricted manner.
  • Right to data portability: You have the right to request that we transfer your data to you or another responsible person in a structured, common and machine-readable format.
  • Right to complain: You have the right to complain to a supervisory authority. The supervisory authority of your usual place of residence, your place of work or our company headquarters is responsible.

Right of withdrawal

You have the right to revoke your consent to data processing at any time.

Right of objection

You have the right to object at any time to the processing of your data, which we base on our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO. If you exercise your right to object, please explain the reasons. We will then no longer process your personal data unless we can prove to you that compelling reasons worthy of protection for the data processing outweigh your interests and rights.

Irrespective of the above, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for the purposes of advertising and data analysis.

Please send your objection to the contact address of the responsible person given above.

When do we delete your data?

We will delete your data when we no longer need it or when you instruct us to do so. This means that – unless otherwise stated in the individual data protection notices of this data protection declaration – we delete your data,

  • if the purpose of the data processing has ceased to exist and therefore the respective legal basis stated in the individual data protection notices no longer exists, for example.
    • after termination of the contractual or membership relations existing between us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO) or
    • after our legitimate interest in the further processing or storage of your data has ceased to exist (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO),
  • if you exercise your right of revocation and no other legal basis for processing within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. b-f DSGVO applies,
  • if you make use of your right to object and there are no compelling reasons for deletion that are worthy of protection.

However, if we still need to retain (certain parts of) your data for other purposes, for example because tax retention periods (usually 6 years for business correspondence or 10 years for accounting records) or the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims arising from contractual relationships (up to four years) make this necessary or the data is needed to protect the rights of another natural person or legal entity, we will only delete (the part of) your data after these periods have expired. Until the expiry of these periods, however, we limit the processing of this data to these purposes (fulfilment of retention obligations).

Our website uses cookies. Cookies are small text files consisting of a series of numbers and letters that are placed and stored on the terminal device you are using. Cookies are primarily used to exchange information between the terminal device you are using and our website.

Such profiles are used to show users content that corresponds to their potential interests.
