Which data from you are processed by us? And for what purpose?
If we have received data from you, we will only process it for the purpose for which we have received or collected them. Data processing for other purposes can only be considered if the legal requirements in accordance with Article 6 para. 4 GDPR are met. In the case, of course, we will observe any information requirements under Article 13 para. 3 GDPR and Article14 para. 4 GDPR.


On what legal basis is that based?
The legal basis for the processing of personal data is basically - as far as there is no specific legislation - Article 6 GDPR. Here are the following options in particular:

  • Consent (Article 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR)
  • Data processing for the fulfillment of contracts (Article 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR)
  • Data processing based of a balance of interests (Article 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR)
  • Data processing to fulfill a legal obligation (Article 6 para. 1 lit. c) GDPR)

If personal information is processed by you on the basis of your consent, you have the right to revoke your consent to us at any time with future effect.
If we process data on the basis of a balance of interests, you as the person concerned have the right to object to the processing of your personal data, taking into account the requirements of Article 21 GDPR.

How long are the data stored?
We process and store the data as long as this is necessary for the respective purpose.
As far as statutory storage obligations exist – e.g. in commercial or tax law - the personal data concerned are stored for the duration of the storage obligation. After expiry of the storage obligation, it is checked whether there is any further need for processing. Is there no longer a necessity, the data are deleted.
Of course you are always entitled (see below) to request information about the personal data concerning you that are processed by us and in case of non-existent necessity to require deletion of the data or restriction of processing.

  • you have given your consent to transmit the information, or prosecuting authorities or courts demand information based on applicable laws for the purpose of prosecution.
  • in order to carry out the processing and handling process, if we have to make use of service providers in order to process the contract data, the contractual relations are regulated as stipulated by Art. 28 GDPR, which contains the legally required points relating to data privacy and data protection.

The processing of the data generally takes place in a member state of the European Union, in a state party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area or in countries with an adequate level of data protection in accordance with the decision of the European Commission.
