3. Processing purposes

Your personal data includes information such as your name, address, telephone number or e-mail address. Personal data will only be collected, processed and / or used if you provide us with it voluntarily, e.g. for the establishment, content or modification of a contractual relationship concluded between you and us, or registration for personalised services, or if you send us an enquiry via the website. In addition, your personal data will only be used if you have given your prior consent. After completion of the respective contract, your data will be restricted for further processing and deleted after expiry of any labour, tax or commercial retention periods, unless you have expressly consented to the further use of your data or we reserve the right to use data beyond this, which is permitted by law and about which we inform you in this declaration.

4. Legal principles and purposes of processing

a) On the basis of your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR)

If you have given your consent to the processing of personal data for certain purposes, this processing is deemed to be lawful on the basis of your consent. Consent that has been given can be revoked at any time. This also applies to the revocation of declarations of consent that you gave us before the GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) came into force, i.e. before 25th May 2018.

Please note that revocation is only effective for the future. Processing that took place before the revocation is not affected by this.

b) To fulfil contractual obligations (Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR)

The processing of personal data (Art. 4 (2) GDPR) is carried out to provide our services, in particular to execute our contracts or pre-contractual measures with you and for the execution of your orders as well as for the purposes of customer administration and support and the conclusion, execution and termination of an employment contract concluded with you.

c) Based on legal requirements (Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR) or in the public interest (Art. 6 (1) (e) GDPR)

Your personal data may be processed by us on the basis of other legal obligations, e.g. court orders.

d) As part of the evaluation of interests (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR)

If necessary, we process your data beyond the actual fulfilment of the contract to protect the legitimate interests of us or third parties. For example, for:

• Better customer service
• Ensuring IT security and IT operation, e.g. transmission protocols
• With suppliers: Consultation of credit agencies (to determine creditworthiness and default risks)
• Examination and optimisation of procedures for requirements analysis and direct customer contact
• Advertising or market and opinion research, provided that you have not objected to the use of your data for these purposes
• Assertion of legal claims and defence in legal disputes
• Measures for business management and further development of services and products

5. Data transfer

Personal data may be disclosed to public bodies that receive data pursuant to statutory provisions (e.g. social insurance institutions, fiscal authorities, supervisory authorities, health insurance funds, employment agencies, integration offices, health authorities) as well as banks and contract data processors within the meaning of Art. 28 GDPR.

6. Duration of data storage

If your personal data is no longer required for the above-mentioned purposes, it will be deleted regularly, unless its - temporary - storage is still necessary for the fulfilment of contractual or legal obligations. Reasons for this can be, for example:

• Obtaining evidence for legal disputes under the statutory limitation periods: Civil limitation periods can be up to 30 years, with a regular limitation period of three years
• Log data is stored for up to 2 years and your enquiries to our customer service for up to 3 years
• After expiration of these periods, the data will be deleted after a post-processing period
