3. Overview
The following contents give you a brief overview of the processing of personal data. More detailed information can be found in the single passages in detail.
Data that you transmit to us
On the one hand, we process the data that you enter yourself, for example in a form. In this case, the purpose of processing results from the type of form and from this data protection declaration. Even if you send us a message by email, for example, or otherwise contact us, we process your data in accordance with the purpose of contacting us.
Automatic server log files
On the other hand, our server automatically records all accesses and thus also IP addresses (log files), this serves to prevent attacks, analyze access numbers and run smoothly.
Use of cookies
Cookies help us to provide various services; you can find more information on this in this data protection declaration.
Analysis and tracking tools
In addition to server log files, which also provide us with information on page views, we use analysis tools. These tools give us detailed insights into the content of our site visited, the flow of behavior and, for example, the country from which access took place. In order to work, cookies or scripts must be executed in the browser of our page visitors.
Plugins and Content Delivery Networks
We use plugins and content delivery networks, well-known examples of such services are the video service Youtube or the map service Google Maps. If such services are integrated via a website, access data is transmitted to the services. This is usually your IP address and other metadata such as the time and date of access. Usually those tools also use cookies.

Direct marketing
a) Direct marketing based on legitimate interests
We reserve the right to send our customers direct marketing content based on § 7 (3) UWG (German competition law) and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. You can, of course, object to the receipt of direct marketing information at any time.

If it is necessary for the investigation of a crime, we pass on data to the law enforcement authorities

General information on deletion periods of personal data
We process the data as long as this is necessary for the respective purpose. If necessary, we process your personal data for the duration of our business relationship, which also includes the initiation and processing of a contract; we are also obliged to comply with statutory retention requirements. If the data processing is based on your consent, we will delete your data after your revocation.

Transfer of personal data to a third country
We try to have all service providers and services provided by providers within the European Union as far as possible. A transfer to a third country is an option if you have given us your consent and/or we have concluded a contract for the processing of orders in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR, taking into account appropriate guarantees. In individual cases, we may use plugins or tools that are hosted in third countries, but we use them based on our legitimate interests. In these cases, we may draw attention to the circumstance.


Obligation to provide personal data
The provision of personal data is regularly necessary for the initiation, conclusion, processing and reversal of a contract. In the event that you do not provide the required personal data, we are not able to conclude and fulfill a contract with you.


4. Legal bases for the processing of personal data

The legal bases for the processing of personal data are exceptional facts that allow the processing of personal data. The main legal bases are depicted in particular in Article 6 GDPR. The legal bases by which we process personal data are described in the individual processing operations in this Privacy Policy.
Consent given (Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. a GDPR)
Consent is one of these legal bases and presupposes that the consenting person grants it in an informed manner and on a voluntary basis. Consent based on Article 6 (1) lit a GDPR can be revoked at any time without giving reasons.
Contract-related data processing (Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. b GDPR)
The processing of personal data for the initiation or execution of contracts is also a legal basis and is defined in Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. b GDPR.
Legal obligation (Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. c GDPR)
The exception of data processing due to a legal obligation can be found in Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. c GDPR, for example, we are obliged to comply with certain retention periods in accordance with commercial and tax law.
Legitimate interests (Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. f GDPR)
The processing of personal data on the basis of a balance of interests in accordance with Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. f GDPR allows processing after careful consideration of financial or legal interests against the protected interests of the data subject.

5. Your rights under the General Data Protection Regulation

Each natural person has certain rights, which are defined in particular in Articles 15 to 21 and 77 of the GDPR. In principle, you have the following rights, which you can claim from us.
Right to revoke consent given in accordance with Art. 7 sec. 3 GDPR

You have the right at any time to request information about the data processed by you and the purposes of the processing.
Right to rectification under Article 16 GDPR
If you find that we are processing incorrect or incomplete data about you, you have the right to correction.
Right to erasure under Art. 17 GDPR (restrictions possible under Section 35 of the German Data Protection Act)
You have the right at any time to request the deletion of your personal data that we are processing about you. If complete deletion is not possible, for example because we have to meet statutory retention requirements or we can assert legitimate interests for other reasons, we will restrict your data until these reasons no longer apply.
You have the right to restrict the processing in accordance with Article 18
GDPR. You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time at the address given in the imprint. The right to restrict processing exists in the following cases:
• If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the examination, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
• If the processing of your personal data has been/happens unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
• • If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
• • If you have filed an objection under Article 21(1) GDPR, a balance must be made between your interests and our interests. As long as it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data may be processed, except for its storage, only with your consent or for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

You have the right to data portability in accordance with Art. 20 GDPR
You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract automatically handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format.

If the data processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. e or f GDPR, you have at any time the right to object to the processing of your personal data for reasons arising from your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions. The respective legal basis on which processing is based can be found in this privacy policy. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data concerned unless we can prove compelling legitimate grounds for processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims (opposition under Art. 21 sec. 1 GDPR).
If your personal data is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purpose of such advertising; this also applies to profiling in so far as it is related to such direct marketing.

17. Our social media appearances
Data processing through social networks
We maintain publicly available profiles in social networks. The individual social networks we use can be found below.
Social networks such as Facebook, Google+ etc. can generally analyze your user behavior comprehensively if you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g. like buttons or banner ads). When you visit our social media pages, numerous data protection-relevant processing operations are triggered. In detail:
If you are logged in to your social media account and visit our social media page, the operator of the social media portal can assign this visit to your user account. Under certain circumstances, your personal data may also be recorded if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal. In this case, this data is collected, for example, via cookies stored on your device or by recording your IP address.
Using the data collected in this way, the operators of the social media portals can create user profiles in which their preferences and interests are stored. This way you can see interest-based advertising inside and outside of your social media presence. If you have an account with the social network, interest-based advertising can be displayed on any device you are logged in to or have logged in to.
Please also note that we cannot retrace all processing operations on the social media portals. Depending on the provider, additional processing operations may therefore be carried out by the operators of the social media portals. Details can be found in the terms of use and privacy policy of the respective social media portals.
Legal basis
Our social media appearances should ensure the widest possible presence on the Internet. This is a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on divergent legal bases to be specified by the operators of the social networks (e.g. consent within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR).
Responsibility and assertion of rights
If you visit one of our social media sites (e.g., Facebook), we, together with the operator of the social media platform, are responsible for the data processing operations triggered during this visit. You can in principle protect your rights (information, correction, deletion, limitation of processing, data portability and complaint) vis-à-vis us as well as vis-à-vis the operator of the respective social media portal (e.g. Facebook).
Please note that despite the shared responsibility with the social media portal operators, we do not have full influence on the data processing operations of the social media portals. Our options are determined by the company policy of the respective provider.
Storage Time
The data collected directly from us via the social media presence will be deleted from our systems as soon as the purpose for their storage lapses, you ask us to delete it, you revoke your consent to the storage or the purpose for the data storage lapses. Stored cookies remain on your device until you delete them. Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular, retention periods - remain unaffected.
We have no control over the storage duration of your data that are stored by the social network operators for their own purposes. For details, please contact the social network operators directly (e.g. in their privacy policy, see below).

18. Additional Information for Business Partners

Categories of data and purposes of processing

We process personal data of our service providers and partners, which we receive directly within the scope of our business relationship. If we have received data from you, we process it only for the purposes for which we have received or collected it.
As a rule, we process the following categories of data from you:
• Name, first name
• Adress and / or company address
• Telecommunications data
• E-mail adress
• Company
• Professional function and / or position
• Bank details / credit card number / other payment details
• Data on the history of the business relationship
In the course of the business initiation phase and during the business relationship, in particular through personal, telephone or written contacts, initiated by you or by one of our employees, further personal data is generated, e.g. information on the contact channel, date, occasion and result; (electronic) copies of correspondence and information on participation in direct marketing measures.
On the other hand, we process personal data that we have obtained and are permitted to process from publicly accessible sources (e.g. commercial and association registers, press, media, Internet).
Data processing for other purposes can only be considered if the necessary legal requirements according to Art. 6 para. 4 DSGVO are met. In this case we will of course comply with any information duties according to Art. 13 para. 3 DSGVO and Art. 14 para. 4 DSGVO.

Legal bases according to which we process your data

Based on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) DSGVO)

We process personal data for one or more specific purposes if you have given us permission to do so. If personal data are processed on the basis of your consent, you have the right to revoke this consent at any time with effect for the future.
Data processing for the fulfilment of contracts (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) DSGVO)
We process personal data for the fulfilment of contracts. The fulfillment of contracts includes, for example, the conclusion, processing and reversal of a contract. In addition, we process personal data which are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, such as the initiation of a contract, and which are provided upon your request.
Data processing based on a legal obligation (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) DSGVO)
Like any company, we have to comply with retention and other documentation requirements, and this may include documents containing personal information. Insofar as we process data for these purposes, the processing is based on a legal obligation.
Data processing based on a weighing of interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) DSGVO)
If we process data on the basis of a balancing of interests, you as the data subject have the right to object to the processing of personal data, taking into account the provisions of Art. 21 DSGVO. Insofar as the specific purpose permits, we process your data pseudonymised or anonymised.

Other recipients of your data

Passing on to data processors in accordance to Art. 28 GDPR
Data processors commissioned by us (Art. 28 GDPR), especially in the field of IT services and, for example, printing services, who process your data for us in accordance with our instructions. If we commission service providers to perform our tasks, we always observe the provisions of data protection law; in particular, data will only be passed on after the conclusion of data processing agreements. We will be pleased to inform you which contract processors we use.
For the execution of a contractual relationship
If it is necessary for the execution of the contract with you, we will pass on your data, for example, to our bank for the processing of payments or shipping service providers, such as the German Post, DHL, UPS, GSL, DPD or other occasion-related providers.
Transfer due to a legal obligation
In the event of a legal or official obligation, we will pass on your data to public bodies or institutions (authorities, for example in the context of criminal prosecution).
Other authorities, insofar as you have given us your consent
If you have given your explicit consent, we will also pass on your data to other parties. However, this will be done within the limits of your verifiable consent.


General information on deletion periods for personal data

Principle of earmarking and compliance with statutory retention periods
We process the data as long as this is necessary for the respective purpose. If necessary, we process your personal data for the duration of our business relationship, which also includes the initiation and execution of a contract.
In addition, like any company, we are obliged to comply with the statutory retention periods, for example the periods under commercial and tax law. Insofar as legal storage obligations exist, the relevant personal data is stored for the duration of the storage obligation. The duration of storage also depends on the statutory limitation periods, which, for example, according to §§ 195 ff. of the German Civil Code (BGB), are generally three years, but in certain cases may be up to thirty years. After expiry of the obligation to retain data, it is checked whether there is any further necessity for the processing. If there is no longer a need, the data is deleted.
As a rule, such retention periods within the framework of legal transactions (according to §147 AO / §257 HGB / §14b UstG) are 10 years, beginning with the year following the legal transaction.
Concrete example
Insofar as you provide us with your contact details, for example by e-mail, telephone, or by handing over your business card, we store this data in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b DSGVO on the basis of pre-contractual measures and in the legitimate interest (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f DSGVO) of smooth and targeted communication. Insofar as no legal transaction is concluded, we will delete your data if you request us to do so or if no further contact takes place within a period of three years. If you enter into a legal transaction with us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO), we will store your data for ten years until the expiry of the commercial and tax law requirements. After this period, we will check whether we can delete the data and, if necessary, we will delete it.
E-mails and business letters
We archive all our e-mail traffic for ten years. If you send us an e-mail, your data and the entire e-mail content will be stored for 10 years. Most e-mails count as business letters; in addition, e-mails may contain information relevant to tax law. In our opinion, the effort required to check each individual e-mail is not in proportion to the benefit and the interests of the sender worthy of protection. However, you can of course request us to delete the e-mail at any time and we will check each individual case and inform you of the result. This may lead to deletion or restriction of processing, depending on the content of the correspondence.
Revocation of your consent
Insofar as we process your data on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO), we will delete them after your revocation. Unless there is a justified interest against a complete deletion. For example, we retain declarations of consent in principle for up to three years after receipt of your revocation in the legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO). We keep the consent exclusively under restriction of the processing in order to be able to defend ourselves in case of dispute.

Legal or contractual obligation to provide personal data
The provision of personal data is regularly required for the initiation, conclusion, processing and reversal of a contract. In the event that you do not provide the necessary personal data, we will not be able to conclude and fulfil a contract with you.

Transfer to a third party country

Your personal data is generally processed by us in computer centres in the Federal Republic of Germany or the European Union. A transfer to a third country is only possible if you have given us your consent or if we have concluded a contract for data processing in accordance with Art. 28 DSGVO, taking into account suitable guarantees or other appropriate safeguards.
