When you enter a business relationship with us, we collect the following data:
The collection of the data takes place
As a matter of principle, we collect and use personal data of our users only to the extent that this is necessary for the provision of a functional website as well as our content and services. The collection and use of personal data of our users is regularly only carried out with the consent of the user. An exception applies in those cases where it is not possible to obtain prior consent for factual reasons and the processing of the data is permitted by legal regulations.
We are entitled under the legal conditions of § 7 Abs.3 UWG to use the e-mail address that you provided when concluding the contract for direct advertising for our own similar goods or services. You will receive these product recommendations or satisfaction surveys from us regardless of whether you have subscribed to a newsletter.
If we have received data from you, we will generally only process it for the purposes for which we received or collected it.
Data processing for other purposes can only be considered if the legal requirements pursuant to Art. 6 (4) of the GDPR are met. We will, of course, comply with any information obligations pursuant to Art. 13 (3) GDPR and Art. 14 (4) GDPR in this case.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data is in principle - unless there are still specific legal provisions - Art. 6 GDPR. The following possibilities come into consideration here:
If personal data is processed based on your consent, you have the right to revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future.
We process data based on a balance of interests. You as the data subject have the right to object to the processing of personal data, considering the requirements of Art. 21 GDPR.
We process the data as long as it is necessary for the respective purpose.
Insofar as statutory retention obligations exist - e.g. under commercial law or tax law - the personal data concerned will be stored for the duration of the retention obligation. After expiry of the retention obligation, it is checked whether there is a further need for processing. If there is no longer a need, the data will be deleted.
As a matter of principle, we carry out an examination of data towards the end of a calendar year regarding the need for further processing. Due to the amount of data, this check is carried out about specific types of data or purposes of processing.
Of course, you can at any time (see below) request information about the data we have stored about you and, if it is not necessary, request deletion of the data or restriction of processing.
Your personal data will only be passed on to third parties if this is necessary for the performance of the contract with you. The transfer is permissible based on a balance of interests within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f) GDPR, we are legally obliged to pass on the data or you have given your consent to do so.
Your personal data is preferably processed by us in data centers in Germany or Europe. When using cloud services, data centers in the USA are also used in addition to these.
According to the EU General Data Protection Regulation, you have the following rights:
If your personal data is processed, you have the right to obtain information about the data stored about you (Art. 15 GDPR).
In the case of a request for information that is not made in writing via a contact address already stored in our systems, we ask for your understanding that we may require proof from you that you are the person you claim to be.
If inaccurate personal data is processed, you have a right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR).
If the legal requirements are met, you can request the deletion or restriction of processing as well as object to the processing; a right to data portability also exists (Art. 17, 18, 20 and 21 GDPR).
If you make use of your above-mentioned rights, we will check whether the legal requirements for this are met.
You have the right to object to the processing of your data in connection with direct marketing, according to Art. 21 (1) and (2) GDPR, if this is done based on a balancing of interests.
