To the extent that we have obtained your consent to process personal data, the legal basis is Article 6 (1) (a) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

When personal data is processed that is required to fulfill a contract agreed with you, the legal basis is the contract in accordance with Article 6 (1) (b) of the GDPR. Article 6 (1) (b) of the GDPR also applies to processing activities that are required in order to perform contract activities prior to the contract, for example in cases where requests are made about our products and/or services. 

If our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, for example fulfillment of tax requirements, this is considered processing in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (c) of the GDPR.

If you contact us, we will process the personal data you share with us when processing the correspondence. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR.

We are continually improving our offering by saving and analyzing user data from online on a pseudo-anonymized basis. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR.

It is within our interest to maintain the customer relationship with you and to send you information and offers that we believe match your interests. For this reason, we process your data on the basis of Article 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR (also with the help of service providers) to send you information and offers. We use your contact data (last name, first name, postal address) to send advertising by post and for market research if you do not opt out of this kind of use of your data. Likewise, we can also use the e-mail address that you provide to us in the context of our business relationship with you to send targeted advertising.

Implementation of a contract normally requires the involvement of instruction-dependent data processors such as data center operators, printing or shipping service providers or other parties involved in fulfilling the contract. 

The external service providers, who we hire to process data, are carefully selected and subject to strict contractual obligations. The service providers work in accordance with the instructions we provide and this is verified by technical and organizational actions and supplementary checks. 

Furthermore, transmission of your data only takes place where you have given your express consent or on the basis of a statutory requirement.

Transmission to non-EU countries outside the EU/EEA or to an international organization will not take place unless appropriate guarantees have been provided. These include the EU standard contractual clauses and an adequacy decision from the EU Commission.

Eine Übermittlung in Drittstaaten außerhalb der EU/des EWR oder an eine internationale Organisation findet nicht statt, es sei denn, es liegen angemessene Garantien vor. Dazu gehören die EU-Standardvertragsklauseln sowie ein Angemessenheitsbeschluss der EU-Kommission.

We store your data only for as long as is necessary to fulfill the purpose for which the data was collected (e.g. in the context of a contractual relationship) or as stipulated by law. For example, when there is a contractual relationship, we save your data at least until such time as the contract has terminated completely. After this, the data is retained until expiry of the statutory retention periods.

You can request information on what data we store about you.

You can request the correction, deletion and blocking of your personal data as long as this is permitted by law and possible within the scope of an existing contractual relationship.
