We would be happy to let you know which processors we use.
Disclosure to providers of third-party specialist services
If necessary for the execution of the contract, legitimized by our legitimate interest or required due to legal obligations, providers of third-party specialist services process personal data for us. These are in particular tax advisors, auditors and banks.
Disclosure to carry out a contractual relationship
If it is necessary to carry out the contract with you, we will pass on your data, for example, to our bank to process payments or shipping service providers.
Disclosure due to a legal obligation
If there is a legal or official obligation, we will pass on your data to public bodies or institutions (authorities, for example in the context of criminal prosecution).
Other places, insofar as you have given us your consent.
If you have given your explicit consent, we will also pass on your data to other places. However, this occurs within the limits provided you have verifiable consent.
Information on Deletion Periods of Personal Data
Principle of purpose limitation and compliance with statutory retention periods.
We process the data as long as this is necessary for the respective purpose. If necessary, we process your personal data for the duration of our business relationship, which also includes the initiation and processing of a contract.
In addition, like every company, we are obliged to comply with statutory retention periods, for example the deadlines under commercial and tax law. If there are statutory retention requirements, the relevant personal data will be stored for the duration of the retention period. The storage period also depends on the statutory limitation periods, which, for example, according to Sections 195 ff. of the Civil Code (BGB), can usually be three years, but in certain cases can also be up to thirty years. After the retention period has expired, it will be checked whether further processing is necessary. If it is no longer necessary, the data will be deleted.
As a rule, such retention periods in the context of legal transactions (according to §147 AO / §257 HGB / §14b UstG) are 10 years, starting with the year following the legal transaction.
Specific example
If you provide us with your contact details, for example by email, telephone, or by handing over your business card, we will store this data on the basis of pre-contractual measures and in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter b of the GDPR Interest (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR) in smooth and targeted communication. If no legal transaction is concluded, we will delete your data if you request us to do so or if there is no further contact within a period of three years. If you enter into a legal transaction with us (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit b GDPR), we will store your data for ten years until the commercial and tax requirements expire. After this period, we check whether we can delete the data and, if necessary, delete it.
E-mails and business letters
We archive all of our e-mail traffic for ten years. If you write us an email, your data and the entire email content will be stored for 10 years. Most emails count as business letters, and emails can also contain information relevant to tax law. In our opinion, the effort involved in checking each individual email is not proportionate to the benefit and legitimate interests of the sender. Of course, you can ask us to delete it at any time and we will carry out an individual case check and inform you of the result. This can lead to deletion or restriction of processing, depending on the content of the correspondence.
Revocation of your consent
If we process your data based on your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR), we will delete it after your revocation. Unless there are legitimate interests against complete deletion. For example, we generally store the declaration of consent for up to three years after receipt of your revocation in the legitimate interest (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR). We only retain the consent subject to restriction of processing in order to be able to defend ourselves in the event of a dispute.
Legal or contractual Obligation to provide Personal Data
The provision of personal data is regularly necessary for the initiation, conclusion, processing and reversal of a contract. If you do not provide the required personal data, we will not be able to conclude and fulfill a contract with you.
Transfer to a Third Country
We generally process your personal data in data centers in the Federal Republic of Germany or the European Union. A transfer to a third country is only possible if you have given us your consent or we have concluded a contract for order processing in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR, taking into account suitable guarantees or other suitable guarantees.
