Which of your data do we process? And for what purposes?

If we have received data from you, we will only process it for the purposes for which we received or collected it.

Data processing for other purposes will only be considered if the necessary legal requirements pursuant to Art. 6 (4) GDPR are met. In this case, we will of course comply with any information obligations pursuant to Art. 13 (3) GDPR and Art. 14 (4) GDPR.


What is the legal basis for this?

The legal basis for the processing of personal data is generally - unless there are specific legal provisions - Art. 6 GDPR. The following possibilities in particular come into consideration here:

  • Consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR)
  • Data processing for the performance of contracts (Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR)
  • Data processing on the basis of a balancing of interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR)
  • Data processing to fulfill a legal obligation (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) GDPR)

If personal data is processed on the basis of your consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent from us at any time with effect for the future.

If we process data on the basis of a balancing of interests, you as the data subject have the right to object to the processing of personal data, taking into account the provisions of Art. 21 GDPR.


How long will the data be stored?

We process the data as long as this is necessary for the respective purpose.

Insofar as statutory retention obligations exist - e.g. under commercial law or tax law - the personal data concerned will be stored for the duration of the retention obligation. Once the retention obligation has expired, we will check whether there is any further need for processing. If it is no longer necessary, the data will be deleted.


To which recipients is the data forwarded?

Your personal data will only be passed on to third parties if this is necessary for the execution of the contract with you, if the transfer is permissible on the basis of a balancing of interests within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR, if we are legally obliged to pass on the data or if you have given your consent to do so.


Where is the data processed?

Your personal data will be processed by us exclusively in data centers located in the Federal Republic of Germany.


Your rights as a "data subject"

You have the right to information about the personal data we process about you.

In the case of a request for information that is not made in writing, we ask for your understanding that we may then require proof from you that you are the person you claim to be.

Furthermore, you have a right to rectification or erasure or to restriction of processing, insofar as you are legally entitled to do so.

Furthermore, you have the right to object to the processing within the framework of the legal requirements. The same applies to the right to data portability.

In particular, you have the right to object to the processing of your data in connection with direct advertising in accordance with Art. 21 (1) and (2) GDPR if this is based on a balancing of interests.
