  • the documentation of your declaration of consent for the receipt of e.g. newsletters.

  • Photographs taken as part of events.

 

  1. For what purposes and on what legal basis is the data processed?

We process your data in accordance with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Federal Data Protection Act 2018 as amended:

 

  • for the fulfillment of (pre-)contractual obligations (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR):

 

Your data will be processed online or at our business location for the purpose of processing contracts with your employees in our company. The data is processed in particular when initiating business and when executing contracts with you.

 

  • for the fulfillment of legal obligations (Art. 6 para. 1 lit.c GDPR):

 

The processing of your data is necessary for the purpose of fulfilling various legal obligations, e.g. from the German Commercial Code or the German Fiscal Code.

 

  • to safeguard legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit.f GDPR):

 

Based on a balancing of interests, data may be processed beyond the actual fulfillment of the contract to protect our legitimate interests or those of third parties. Data processing to protect legitimate interests takes place in the following cases, for example:

 

- Advertising or marketing (see no. 4),
              - Measures for business management and further development of services and products;
              - Maintaining a Group-wide customer database to improve customer service
              - in the context of legal prosecution
              - Sending of non-sales-promoting information and press releases.

 

  • within the scope of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR):

 

If you have given us your consent to process your data, e.g. to send you our newsletter, publish photos, competitions, etc., we will use your data for this purpose.

 

  1. Processing of personal data for advertising purposes

 

You can object to the use of your personal data for advertising purposes at any time, either as a whole or for individual measures, without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic rates.

Subject to the legal requirements of Section 7 (3) UWG, we are entitled to use the e-mail address you provided when concluding the contract for direct advertising for our own similar goods or services. You will receive these product recommendations from us regardless of whether you have subscribed to a newsletter.

If you do not wish to receive such recommendations from us by e-mail, you can object to the use of your address for this purpose at any time without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs according to the basic rates. A message in text form is sufficient for this. Of course, every e-mail always contains an unsubscribe link.

 

 

  1. Who receives my data?

 

If we use a service provider in the sense of commissioned processing, we nevertheless remain responsible for the protection of your data. All processors are contractually obliged to treat your data confidentially and to process it only within the scope of providing the service. The processors commissioned by us will receive your data if they require the data to perform their respective service. These are, for example, IT service providers that we require for the operation and security of our IT system as well as advertising and address publishers for our own advertising campaigns.

Your data is processed in our customer database. The customer database supports the enhancement of the data quality of the existing customer data (duplicate cleansing, moved/deceased indicator, address correction) and enables the enrichment with data from public sources.

If there is a legal obligation and in the context of legal prosecution, authorities and courts as well as external auditors may be recipients of your data.

 

 In addition, insurance companies, banks, credit agencies and service providers may be recipients of your data for the purpose of contract initiation and fulfillment.

 

  1. How long will my data be stored?

 

We process your data until the end of the business relationship or until the expiry of the applicable statutory retention periods (e.g. from the German Commercial Code, the German Fiscal Code); in addition, until the end of any legal disputes in which the data is required as evidence.

 

 

  1. Is personal data transferred to a third country?

 

When transferring data to a third country, the legal provisions of the GDPR are complied with. In individual cases, data will only be transferred on the basis of an adequacy decision by the European Commission, standard contractual clauses, suitable guarantees or your express consent.

 

  1. What data protection rights do I have?

 

You have the right to information, correction, deletion or restriction of the processing of your stored data, a right to object to the processing as well as a right to data portability and to complain in accordance with the requirements of data protection law.

 

Right to information:

You can request information from us as to whether and to what extent we process your data.

 

Right to rectification:

If we process your data that is incomplete or incorrect, you can request that we correct or complete it at any time.

 

Right to erasure:

You can demand that we erase your data if we process it unlawfully or if the processing interferes disproportionately with your legitimate protection interests. Please note that there may be reasons that prevent immediate erasure, e.g. in the case of statutory retention obligations.

 

Irrespective of the exercise of your right to erasure, we will erase your data immediately and completely, provided that there is no legal or statutory retention obligation to the contrary.

 

Right to restriction of processing:

You can demand that we restrict the processing of your data if

- you contest the accuracy of the data, for a period enabling us to verify the accuracy of the data

- the processing of the data is unlawful, but you oppose the erasure of the data and request the restriction of its use instead

- we no longer need the data for the intended purpose, but you still need this data to assert or defend legal claims, or

- you have objected to the processing of the data.

 

Right to data portability:

You may request that we provide you with the data you have provided to us in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format and that you may transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from us, provided that

 

- we process this data on the basis of your revocable consent or for the performance of a contract between us, and

- this processing is carried out by automated means.

 

If technically feasible, you can request that we transfer your data directly to another controller.

 

Right to object:

If we process your data on the basis of legitimate interest, you can object to this data processing at any time; this would also apply to profiling based on these provisions. We will then no longer process your data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims. You can object to the processing of your data for the purpose of direct advertising at any time without giving reasons.

 

Right to lodge a complaint:

If you are of the opinion that we are violating German or European data protection law when processing your data, please contact us so that we can clarify any questions you may have. Of course, you also have the right to contact the supervisory authority responsible for you, the respective state office for data protection supervision.

If you wish to assert one of these rights against us, please contact our data protection officer. In case of doubt, we may request additional information to confirm your identity.

 

  1. Am I obliged to provide data?

The processing of your data is necessary for the conclusion or fulfillment of the contract you have entered into with us. If you do not provide us with this data, we will generally have to refuse to conclude the contract or will no longer be able to perform an existing contract and will therefore have to terminate it. However, you are not obliged to give your consent to data processing with regard to data that is not relevant or legally required for the fulfillment of the contract.
