Principles Governing the Collection of Data

Data Collection

The provision of data by you is generally voluntary. However, for certain processing activities, the provision of data is required, as we would otherwise not be able to process our or your requests, for example to enter into a contractual relationship.

If the provision of data is mandatory, for example for the processing of a contract or order or for the provision of certain functions of a website or an online shop, no right of objection can be exercised.

Where possible, for example in contact or contract forms, we distinguish between optional fields and mandatory fields. Mandatory fields are marked as such. Data from mandatory fields contain information that we require in order to process your request.

No Profiling

Profiling (Article 4(4) GDPR) describes a form of automated processing of data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate, analyse or predict certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, such as work performance, economic situation, health or personal preferences. We do not use automated decision-making or profiling.

5.

Processing Activities

We process personal data in accordance with the provisions of the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG). The legal bases for processing depend on the respective purpose and therefore differ. The specific processing activities are described in the subsections below.

The following general principles apply at all times, independently of or in addition to the provisions specified for the individual processing activities:

  • We disclose your data within our company exclusively to those departments and persons who require such data to fulfil contractual and legal obligations or to pursue our legitimate interests.
  • Data is disclosed outside the company if we are legally obliged to do so or required by court order. Any further disclosure takes place only with your consent or on the basis of a clear legitimate interest on our part, in particular in the context of processing by our service providers.
  • We delete data as soon as it is no longer required for the respective purpose. Data may be stored beyond the specified periods if we are entitled or obliged to do so by law, by contract performance or by court order.
  • Your data will be deleted when it is no longer required for the purpose of processing, when consent has been withdrawn or when other legal bases cease to apply. If data is still required for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims, it will be deleted as soon as this is no longer the case. If data is stored due to statutory retention obligations, it will be deleted after the respective retention period has expired. We generally review retention periods at the end of each year.
