Purpose of processing and legal basis
The data received from you is processed by us only for the purposes for which we received or collected it. In particular, this can be done for the following purposes:
Processing for other purposes can only be considered if the necessary legal requirements pursuant to Article 6 para. 4 GDPR have been met. Information obligations pursuant to Article 13 para. 3 and Article 14 para. 4 GDPR are of course observed.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data is in principle Article 6 GDPR, unless there are specific legal provisions. If personal data is processed on the basis of your consent, you have the right to revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future.
In particular, the following options may be considered:
If processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6 para. 1 f) GDPR, the controller shall pursue the following legitimate interests of himself or third parties: Communication if the person concerned is not a direct party to the contract to be initiated or existing. If we process data on the basis of a weighing of interests, you as the data subject have the right to object to the processing of personal data in accordance with Article 21 GDPR.
Categories of personal data
If the controller does not collect your data directly from communication with you and you therefore know what data is involved, please note that the controller regularly processes the following categories of personal data:
Recipients of the personal data
Transfer of data to third countries and to an international organisation
Your personal data will only be passed on to third parties if this is necessary for the execution of the contract with you, if this is permissible on the basis of a weighing of interests pursuant to Article 6 Para. 1 f) GDPR, if we are legally obliged to pass it on or if you have given your consent to this.
Where data is transferred to a third country outside the EU, an adequate level of data protection is ensured by the conclusion of EU standard contractual clauses and/or the recipient's participation in the so-called "Privacy Shield" and the technical and organisational measures taken by the third party with regard to data protection and data security.
Duration of storage
Personal data will only be stored by controller as long it is necessary to pursue the purpose for which it was processed. If the storage of the data is no longer necessary for the fulfilment of contractual or legal obligations and for the pursuit of legitimate interests, i.e. for the preservation of evidence or proof within the scope of the statutory limitation provisions, these will be deleted regularly.
Right of access
On request, we will inform you in writing or electronically whether and which personal data we have stored about you (Article 15 GDPR).
Right to rectification
You have the right to rectify (Article 16 GDPR) and/or complete the data vis-à-vis the data controller if the personal data processed concerning you are inaccurate or incomplete.
Right to erasure
You may request the person responsible to delete the personal data concerning you immediately (Article 17 GDPR).
Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to demand the restriction of the processing (Article 18 GDPR).
Right to data portability
You have the right to data portability (Article 20 GDPR). In other words, you have the right to receive your personal data in a machine-readable format.

Provision of personal data
As part of our business relationship, you must provide the personal information necessary to establish and conduct a business relationship and to fulfil the contractual obligations associated therewith, or which we are required by law to collect. Without this data we will normally have to refuse the conclusion of the contract or the execution of the order or will no longer be able to execute an existing contract and may have to terminate it.
Automated individual decision-making/profiling
An automated decision making (including profiling) does not take place with your data.
Information about your right of objection
1. Right of objection in individual cases
