We expressly point out that by using this e-mail address, the contents will not be taken note of exclusively by our data protection officer.

If you wish to exchange confidential information, we kindly ask you to first contact us through this e-mail address to arrange direct contact with the data protection officer.

3) Which data from you do we process? And for what purposes?

When you contact us, we store and process your resulting personal data for the purpose of processing your request. Personal data resulting from this context may include: first name, last name, e-mail address, IP address.

If we have received data from you, we will generally process it only for the purposes for which we received or collected it.

Processing for other purposes will only be considered if the necessary legal requirements under Art. 6(4) GDPR are met. Any information obligations pursuant to Art. 13(3) GDPR and Art. 14(4) GDPR will be observed in such a case.

4) Legal bases for processing personal data

The legal basis for processing personal data is generally – unless specific legal provisions exist – Art. 6 GDPR. In particular, the following possibilities come into consideration:

The processing of your personal data is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry is related to the fulfillment of contracts or is necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.

In other cases, processing is based on our legitimate interest according to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. We have an interest in effectively handling your inquiries addressed to us.

If we have obtained your consent for the processing of your personal data under Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR, we will store your data until the purpose for storage ceases to apply or you withdraw your consent. You may withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future. The lawfulness of any processing carried out before the withdrawal remains unaffected.

5) Recipients of personal data

As part of your inquiry, your personal data will be forwarded within our company exclusively to the responsible employees and the persons responsible in the respective departments to process your request.

Disclosure of your personal data to third parties generally only occurs if this is necessary for the execution of the contract with you, permitted based on a balance of interests under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, required by law, or if you have given your consent.

6) Transfer of personal data to a third country

Your personal data is processed exclusively in data centers in Germany / the European Union.

7) Duration of storage of personal data

We process your data as long as this is necessary for the respective purpose.

As far as statutory retention obligations exist – e.g. under commercial or tax law – the relevant personal data is stored for the duration of the retention obligation. After expiry of the retention obligation, it is checked whether further necessity for processing exists. If there is no further necessity, the data will be deleted.

As a rule, we conduct a review of data at the end of a calendar year concerning the necessity for further processing. Due to the volume of data, this review takes place with regard to specific types of data or purposes of processing.

Of course, you can (see below) at any time request information about the data stored by us concerning you and, if there is no necessity, request the deletion of the data or the limitation of processing.

8) Your rights as a data subject

Regarding your personal data, you have the following rights vis-à-vis our company:

• According to Art. 15 GDPR, the right to access your processed data,
• According to Art. 16 GDPR, the right to rectification of your inaccurate data,
• According to Art. 17 GDPR, the right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”),
• According to Art. 18 GDPR, the right to restrict processing,
• According to Art. 20 GDPR, the right to data portability.

If reasons arise from your particular situation against the processing of your personal data, which was carried out pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR to safeguard legitimate interests, you may object to the processing at any time by exercising your right to object under Art. 21 GDPR.

Furthermore, according to Art. 7(3) GDPR, you have the right to withdraw any consent given to our company. You may exercise your right of withdrawal at any time with effect for the future. This means that the processing of your personal data carried out by our company up to the exercise of the right of withdrawal remains lawful.

Furthermore, under Art. 77 GDPR, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority in the member state of your place of residence, workplace, or place of the alleged infringement, if you believe that the processing of your personal data violates the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

9) Data provision

When processing your inquiries, the provision of personal data is neither legally nor contractually required. However, certain personal data are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures or to process any contract that may result. Without providing certain personal data, it may not be possible to conclude a contract.

10) Automated decision-making

The decisions made for the purpose of contract initiation are not based on automated processing, so there is no automated decision-making within the meaning of Art. 22 GDPR in our company.

Contact Form
If you send us inquiries via the contact form, the information you provide in the inquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We do not pass on this data without your consent.
The processing of the data entered in the contact form is thus based exclusively on your consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. An informal e-mail to us suffices. The lawfulness of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request deletion, revoke your consent to storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal requirements – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
