Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Below we inform you about the legal basis for the processing of personal data:

  1. If we have obtained your consent for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR is the legal basis.
  2. If the processing is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures that are carried out at your request, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR is the legal basis.
  3. If the processing is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation to which we are subject (e.g. statutory retention obligations), Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c) GDPR is the legal basis.
  4. If processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. d) GDPR is the legal basis.
  5. If processing is necessary to protect our legitimate interests or those of a third party and your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms do not outweigh this, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR is applicable.
    Legal basis.

Disclosure of personal data to third parties and processors

We do not pass on any data to third parties without your consent. Should this nevertheless be the case, the data will be passed on on the basis of the aforementioned legal bases, e.g. when passing on data to online payment providers to fulfil a contract or due to a court order or due to a legal obligation to hand over the data for the purpose of criminal prosecution, to avert danger or to enforce intellectual property rights.
We also use processors (external service providers, e.g. for web hosting of our websites and databases) to process your data. If data is passed on to processors as part of an order processing agreement, this is always done in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. We select our processors carefully, monitor them regularly and have been granted the right to issue instructions regarding the data. In addition, the processors must have taken suitable technical and organisational measures and comply with the data protection regulations in accordance with BDSG n.F. and GDPR

Data transfer to third countries

The adoption of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has created a standardised basis for data protection in Europe. Your data will therefore primarily be processed by companies to which the GDPR applies. However, if the processing is carried out by third parties outside the European Union or the European Economic Area, they must fulfil the special requirements of Art. 44 et seq. GDPR must be fulfilled. This means that the processing takes place on the basis of special guarantees, such as the officially recognised determination by the EU Commission of a level of data protection corresponding to the EU or compliance with officially recognised special contractual obligations, the so-called "standard contractual clauses". In the case of US companies, submission to the so-called "Privacy Shield", the data protection agreement between the EU and the USA, fulfils these requirements.

Deletion of data and storage period

Unless expressly stated in this privacy policy, your personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as you revoke your consent to the processing or the purpose for the storage no longer applies or the data is no longer required for the purpose, unless its further storage is necessary for evidence purposes or there are statutory retention obligations to the contrary. This includes, for example, commercial law obligations to retain business letters in accordance with Section 257 (1) HGB (6 years) and tax law obligations to retain documents in accordance with Section 147 (1) AO (10 years). If the prescribed retention period expires, your data will be blocked or deleted unless storage is still required for the conclusion or fulfilment of a contract.

Existence of automated decision-making

We do not use automated decision-making or profiling.
