Scope of Processing

We generally process personal data only to the extent necessary for providing a functional website and our content and services. Processing of personal data regularly occurs only after obtaining consent. An exception applies in cases where obtaining prior consent is not possible for factual reasons, and the data processing is legally permissible.

Legal Basis

If we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Article 6(1)(a) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.

For the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations required to carry out pre-contractual measures.

If the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of our company or a third party, and the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject do not override the aforementioned interests, Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

Storage and Deletion of Your Data

We generally store personal data only for as long as necessary to fulfill the contractual or legal obligations for which we collected the data. Afterward, we delete the data immediately unless we need the data for evidence purposes in civil law claims until the statutory limitation period expires or due to legal retention obligations.

For evidentiary purposes, we must keep contract data for six years from the end of the year in which the business relationship with you ends. Any claims will not become time-barred before the expiration of the statutory limitation period.

Even after that, we may have to retain a portion of your data for accounting purposes. This is required due to legal documentation obligations arising from the Commercial Code, the Fiscal Code, the Banking Act, the Anti-Money Laundering Act, and the Securities Trading Act. The retention periods specified therein for documents range from two to ten years.

We delete or block the personal data of the data subject as soon as the purpose of storage is fulfilled. Storage may also take place if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws, or other provisions to which our company is subject. Blocking or deletion of data also occurs when a storage period prescribed by the mentioned norms expires, unless it is necessary to continue storing the data for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.
