Processing of your data within the scope of the core activity of our company

If you are our customer or business partner, or if you are interested in our services, the type, scope and purpose of the processing of your data depends on the contractual or pre-contractual relationship existing between us. In this sense, the data processed by us includes all those data that are or were provided by you for the purpose of making use of the contractual or pre-contractual services and that are required to process your inquiry or the contract concluded between us. Unless otherwise stated in the further notes to this data protection declaration, the processing of your data and its transfer to third parties is limited to those data that are necessary and expedient to answer your inquiries and/or to fulfill the contract concluded between you and us, to protect our rights and to fulfill legal obligations. We will inform you which data is required for this before or in the course of data collection. Insofar as we use third-party providers to provide our services, the data protection notices of the respective third-party providers apply.

Data concerned:

  • Inventory data (e.g. names, addresses)

  • Payment data (e.g. bank details, invoices)

  • Contact data (e.g. e-mail address, telephone number, postal address)

  • Contract data (e.g. subject matter of contract, duration of contract) 

Affected persons: Interested parties, business and contractual partners

Purpose of processing: processing of contractual services, communication as well as answering contact inquiries, office and organizational procedures

Legal basis: contract performance and pre-contractual inquiries, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO, legal obligation, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c DSGVO, legitimate interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.


Your rights under the DSGVO

According to the DSGVO, you are entitled to the rights listed below, which you can exercise at any time by contacting the controller named in section 1. of this Privacy Policy:

  • Right to information: You have the right to request information from us about whether and what data we process from you.

  • Right to rectification: You have the right to request the rectification of incorrect or completion of incomplete data.

  • Right to erasure: You have the right to request the erasure of your data.

  • Right to restriction: In certain cases, you have the right to request that we only process your data in a restricted manner.

  • Right to data portability: You have the right to request that we transfer your data to you or another responsible party in a structured, common, and machine-readable format.

  • Right to complain: You have the right to complain to a supervisory authority. The supervisory authority of your usual place of residence, your workplace, or our company headquarters is responsible.

Right of withdrawal

You have the right to revoke your consent to data processing at any time.

Right of objection

You have the right to object at any time to the processing of your data, which we base on our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO. If you make use of your right to object, we ask you to explain the reasons. We will then no longer process your personal data unless we can prove to you that compelling reasons worthy of protection for the data processing outweigh your interests and rights.

Irrespective of the above, you have the right at any time to object to the processing of your personal data for purposes of advertising and data analysis.

Please address your objection to the contact address of the data controller given above.


When do we delete your data?

We delete your data when we no longer need it or when you instruct us to do so. This means that – unless otherwise stated in the individual data protection notices of this data protection declaration – we will delete your data,

  • when the purpose of the data processing has ceased to exist and therefore the respective legal basis stated in the individual data protection notices no longer exists, e.g.

    • after termination of the contractual or membership relationship existing between us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO) or

    • after our legitimate interest in the further processing or storage of your data ceases to exist (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO),

  • if you exercise your right of withdrawal and no other legal basis for processing within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. b-f DSGVO applies,

  • if you exercise your right to object and there are no compelling legitimate grounds for deletion.

If, however, we still need to retain (certain parts of) your data for other purposes, for example, because tax retention periods (generally 6 years for business correspondence or 10 years for accounting records) or the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims arising from contractual relationships (up to four years) make this necessary, or if the data is needed to protect the rights of another natural person or legal entity, we will delete (that part of) your data only after these periods have expired. However, until the expiration of these periods, we limit the processing of this data to these purposes (fulfillment of retention obligations).


Cloud services

We use cloud services in particular

  • We use cloud services in particular

  • to send documents by e-mail or to exchange files of any kind,

  • for our calendar-based appointment management,

The application process is deemed to be completed when the rejection letter is sent to you.


Online advertising

We use services to display Internet advertising. Through the services we use, certain user data is collected by means of a cookie or pixel. This includes, in particular, the information from which website you have accessed our website (so-called referrer), which pages of our website you have accessed, how long you have visited our pages and which interactions you have carried out there. In addition, data on the browser you use, computer system and type of device are collected. In addition, demographic information such as age or gender can be collected as pseudonymous values via such a service. If you have consented to the collection of your location data, this may also be processed, depending on the provider. In order to collect and store this data, the respective service places a cookie or a so-called counting pixel on the end device used by you, with which the IP address assigned to you is also collected. However, this is shortened via a so-called IP masking procedure, so that the IP address can no longer be assigned to your visit to our website. In principle, no clear data such as names or e-mail addresses are stored when using the respective service. This is only the case if you are a member of a social network that offers one of the services mentioned below and merges your profile with the aforementioned data material.

The data is analyzed by the service we use to produce a report with statistical statements about the number of visitors generated via the advertising and the success of the advertising measure. The reports show, among other things, the total number of users who were redirected to our website via our ads. In addition, the reports contain information on the end devices and browsers of the users, at which locations the users were located, at which times the advertisement was clicked. However, the reports do not contain any information that could be used to personally identify you as a user of our site.

We would like to point out that, depending on the location of the service provider, the data collected via the service may be transferred and processed outside the area of the European Union. In this case, there is a risk that the level of data protection prescribed by the GDPR may not be complied with and that the enforcement of your rights may not be possible or may be difficult.

Data concerned:

  • Usage data (e.g., access times, web pages clicked on).

  • Communication data (e.g., information about the device used, IP address).

Data subjects: Users of our online offers

Purpose of processing: Measuring reach, monitoring the success of campaigns, remarketing, and interest- and behavior-based marketing

Legal basis: If we have asked you for your consent before using the respective service, this is the legal basis, Art. 6 (1) lit. a DSGVO. In addition, we use the respective service on the basis of our legitimate interest in directing visitor flows to our website, to analyze these visitor flows in order to be able to continuously improve the functions, offers and user experience, Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO.

Evaluation of user behavior

If you have consented to this, we evaluate your user behavior when sending the newsletter. For this purpose, our newsletter contains tracking pixels and tracking links.
