2. Legal Basis

The term „personal data“ under data protection law refers to all information that relates to an identified or identifiable individual. We process personal data in compliance with the relevant data protection regulations, particularly the GDPR and the Federal Data Protection Act. Data processing by us only takes place based on legal permission. We process personal data only with your consent (s. 25 (1) Telecommunications and Telemedia Data Protection Act (TTDSG) or Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR), for the performance of a contract to which you are a party, or at your request for the performance of pre-contractual measures (Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR), for compliance with a legal obligation (Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR) or if the processing is necessary in order to protect our legitimate interests or the legitimate interests of a third party, except where such interests are overridden by your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms (Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR).

If you apply for a vacant position in our company, we will also process your personal data for the purpose of deciding about the establishment of an employment relationship (s. 26 (1) Sentence 1 Federal Data Protection Act).

3. Duration of Storage

Unless otherwise stated in the following notes, we only store the data for as long as it is necessary to achieve the purpose of processing or to fulfill our contractual or legal obligations. Such statutory retention requirements may arise particularly from commercial or tax law provisions. From the end of the calendar year in which the data was collected, we will retain such personal data contained in our accounting records for ten years and retain personal data contained in commercial letters and contracts for six years. Additionally, we will retain data in connection with consents requiring proof as well as with complaints and claims for the duration of the statutory limitation periods. We will delete data stored for advertising purposes if you object to processing for this purpose.

4. Categories of Recipients of Data

Regarding the processing of your data, we use processors. Processing operations carried out by such processors include, for example, hosting, sending e-mails, maintenance and support of IT systems, customer and order management, order processing, accounting, and billing, marketing measures or file and data carrier destruction. A processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the data controller. Processors do not use data for their own purposes but perform data processing exclusively for the controller and are contractually obligated to ensure appropriate technical and organizational data protection measures. In addition, we may transfer your personal data to bodies such as postal and delivery services, the company’s bank, tax advisors/auditors or the tax authorities. For the purpose of infection control, data may be transferred to the responsible health department. Further recipients may result from the following information.

5. Processing in the Exercise of Your Rights

If you exercise your rights under Articles 15 to 22 GDPR, we will process the personal data provided for the purpose of implementing these rights by us and to be able to provide evidence thereof. We will process data stored for the purpose of providing information and preparing it only for this purpose and for data protection control purposes and otherwise restrict processing in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR.

These processing operations are based on the legal basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR in conjunction with Art. 15 to 22 GDPR and s. 34 (2) Federal Data Protection Act.

6. Your Rights

As data subject, you have the right to assert your data subject rights against us. In particular, you have the following rights:

  • In accordance with Art. 15 GDPR and s. 34 Federal Data Protection Act, you have the right to request information about whether and, if so, to what extend we are processing personal data relating to you or not.
  • You have the right to demand that we correct your data in accordance with Art. 16 GDPR
  • You have the right to demand that we delete your personal data in accordance with Art. 17 GDPR and Art. 35 GDPR.
  • You have the right to have the processing of your personal data restricted in accordance with Art. 18 GDPR.
  • You have the right, in accordance with Art. 20 GDPR, to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to us in a structured, common and machine-readable format and to transfer this data to another controller.
  • If you have given us separate consent to data processing, you may revoke this consent at any time in accordance with Art. 7 (3) GDPR. Such a revocation does not affect the lawfulness of the processing that was carried out on the basis of the consent until revocation.
  • If you believe that the processing concerning your personal data violates the provisions of the GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in accordance with Art. 77 GDPR.

7. Right to Object

In accordance with Art. 21 (1) GDPR, you have the right to object to processing based on the legal basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. e or lit. f GDPR on grounds relating to your particular situation.

The stored data will be deleted after 4 weeks unless there is a justified suspicion of unlawful use based on concrete indications and further examination and processing of the information is necessary for this reason. We are not able to identify you as a data subject based on the stored information. Articles 15 to 22 of the GDPR therefore do not apply pursuant to Article 11 (2) of the GDPR, unless you provide additional information that enables us to identify you in order to exercise your rights set out in these articles.
