.

f) Pseudonymization

Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person

3. General information on data processing

a) Scope of data processing

We process the personal data of our users only to the extent necessary to enable the functioning of our business operations and website as well as its content and services. The processing of our users‘ personal data only takes place regularly with the user’s consent. An exception applies in cases where it is not possible to obtain prior consent for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by law or it is expedient for our contractual cooperation to pass the data on to external service providers (e.g. parcel service, freight forwarder, collection agency).

b) Legal basis for data processing

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR) serves as the legal basis.

In the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b EU GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c EU GDPR serves as the legal basis.

In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d EU GDPR serves as the legal basis. If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f EU GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

c) Duration of the processing

We only process your data for as long as is necessary to fulfill the contract, to maintain our relationship or in accordance with applicable legal provisions.

Different retention periods apply to the retention of business documents. As a rule, a retention period of 10 years applies to data with relevance under tax law in accordance with the German Fiscal Code, and 6 years for other data in accordance with the provisions of the German Commercial Code.

Unless you object, we will use your data as part of our trusting business relationship for the benefit of both parties.

If you wish your data to be deleted, we will delete it immediately, provided that there are no legal obligations to retain it.4. website

5. Contact form and e-mail contact

a) Description and scope of data processing

A contact form is available on our website, which can be used to contact us electronically. If a user makes use of this option, the data entered in the input mask will be transmitted to us and stored.

For the processing of the data, reference is made to this privacy policy as part of the sending process and your consent is thus obtained to process the data in accordance with the description from this privacy policy.

Alternatively, you can contact us via the email address provided. In this case, the user’s personal data transmitted with the email will be stored.

In this context, the data will not be passed on to third parties. The data is used exclusively for processing the conversation.

We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet may be subject to security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.

b) Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the processing of data with the user’s consent is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU GDPR.

The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of sending an email is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f EU GDPR. If the email contact is aimed at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b EU GDPR.

c) Purpose of the data processing

The processing of the personal data from the input mask serves us solely to process the contact. If you contact us by email, this also constitutes the necessary legitimate interest in processing the data

The other personal data processed during the sending process is used to prevent misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.

d) Duration of storage

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. For personal data from the input screen of the contact form and data sent by email, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is deemed to have ended when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified.

The additional personal data collected during the sending process will be deleted after a period of seven days at the latest.

The deletion refers to the removal from the original storage location to the archive storage. According to the German Commercial Code (§ 147), commercial or business letters in electronic or physical form must be archived for at least six years (see also section 3c).

e) Right of objection and removal

The user has the option to withdraw their consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the user contacts us by email, they can object to the storage of their personal data at any time. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued.
