Which data are processed by us? And for what purposes?

When we received data from you, we will principly process them for the purposes for which we received them or collected them.

 

A data processing for other purposes is only considered if the necessary legal requirements are available in accordance with article 6 paragraph 4 GDPR. We will of course observe any information obligations according to the article 13 paragraph 3 GDPR and article 14 paragraph 4 GDPR.

 

What is the legal basis for this?

 

The legal basis for the processing of personal data is generally – as far as there is not yet a specific legislation – article 6 (GDPR). Here, particularly the following possibilities are considered:

Data processing for the fulfilment of contracts (article 6, paragraph lit.b) (GDPR)
Data processing based on balancing of interests (article 6, paragraph 1 lit.f) (GDPR)

If personal data are processed based on a consent from you, you have the right to withdraw your consent to us at any time for the future.

 

If we process data on the basis of a balancing of interests, you as the person concerned have the right to object to the processing of the personal data considering the requirements of the article 21 (GDPR).

 

How long will the data be stored?

 

We process the data as long as this is necessary for the respective purpose. As far as legal periods exist – e.g. in commercial law or tax law – the personal data concerned are stored for the duration of the retention obligation. After the retention period, it is checked, whether there is a further requirement for the processing. If a requirement no longer exists, the data are related.

 

To which recipients will the data be passed on?

 

In principle a transfer of your personal data to third parties takes only place if this is necessary for the implementation of the contract with you, the transfer on the basis of the balancing of interests in the sense of article 6, paragraph 1 lit.f (GDPR) is permissible, when we are legally obliged to pass on the data or in so far as you have given your permission to do so.

Your personal data will only be processed by us in data centres based in the Federal Republic of Germany.
