III. General Information on Data Processing
1. Scope of Personal Data Processing
The protection of personal data is very important to us. Therefore, we basically collect and use personal data of our users only where this is required to provide a functional website and our contents and services. Personal data of our users is collected and used regularly only after the user has given his or her consent. An exception applies in cases where prior consent cannot be obtained for practical reasons and statutory regulations permit processing of the data.
2. Legal Basis for Personal Data Processing
Point (a) of Art. 6(1) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as a legal basis for personal data processing, provided that we obtain a consent of the data subject for personal data processing purposes.
If personal data processing is necessary to perform a contract to which the data subject is party, point (b) of Art. 6(1) GDPR serves as a legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary in order to take steps prior to entering into a contract.
Point (c) of Art. 6(1) GDPR serves as a legal basis where personal data processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject.
If processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person, point (b) of Art. 6(1) GDPR serves as legal basis.
Point (f) of Art. 6(1) GDPR serves as legal basis for processing where processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject.
3. Erasure of Data and Retention Period
The data subject’s personal data will be erased or blocked once the purpose of storage ceases to apply. In addition, data can be retained if this has been provided for by European or national legislators in Union law regulations, laws or other legislation which is governed by the controller. The data will also be blocked or erased once a retention period specified by the aforementioned standards expires, unless further retention of the data is required for the conclusion or performance of a contract.
IV. Processing as Part of Contractual Services
1. Collection and Retention of Personal Data as Well as Nature and Purpose of Its Use
We process the data of our contracting partners within the framework of rendering contractual services. Contracting partners may include: Interested parties, customers, business partners or just contracting partners. They will hereinafter be uniformly referred to as ‘contracting partners’.
The data collected by us in this context includes:
master data, such as title, first name, surname, address, corporate name;
contact details, such as valid e-mail address, phone number;
information necessary to render the contractual services (contract content, customer’s interest);
payment data (e.g. bank details, payment history).
The purpose for collecting such data results from the respective contract and may include, in particular,
to identify you as our contract partner;
to advise you appropriately;
to meet our contractual obligation;
to manage our correspondence with you;
to perform invoicing;
to settle warranty claims.
2. Legal Basis
Data processing will be based on your request and is necessary, acc. to point (b) of Art. 6(1) GDPR, for the purposes stated above to appropriately process the order and to mutually fulfil obligations from the respective contract.
3. Retention Period
The data will be erased once it is no longer required to achieve the purpose of its collection. Due to stipulations under commercial and tax law, we are obliged to retain your address and payment data for ten years. Nevertheless, we restrict processing three years after termination of the order, i.e. your data will be used only for compliance with the legal obligations.
4. Disclosure of Data to Third Parties
Unless this is necessary acc. to point (b) of Art. 6(1) GDPR to execute the contract with you, your personal data is not disclosed to third parties.

2. Legal Basis for Data Processing
The legal basis for temporary data retention is point (f) of Art. 6(1) GDPR.
3. Purpose of Data Processing
Temporary system storage of the IP address is necessary to allow the website to be sent to the user’s computer. To this end, the user’s IP address must be stored for the duration of the session. Storage in log files is made to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, the data serves us to optimise the website and to ensure the security of our IT systems. The data is not evaluated for marketing purposes in this context.
Such purposes also constitute our legitimate interest in data processing pursuant to point (f) of Art. 6(1) GDPR.
4. Retention Period

If data is collected to provide the website, this is the case once the respective session has been terminated. In the case of storage in log files, this is the case after seven days at the latest. Retention beyond this time is possible. In this case, the users’ IP addresses are erased or modified so that they can no longer be assigned to the accessing client.
5. Objection and Elimination Option
Gathering of the data to provide the website and to retain the data in log files is absolutely necessary to ensure operation of the website. Consequently, the user has no option to object.

When the images are delivered, the MailChimp server gathers specific data of the recipient, e.g. the time of access, the IP address or details about the e-mail programme used (client), information on the recipient’s browser and on the system used by the recipient.
2. Legal Basis for Data Processing
The legal basis for newsletter tracking is our legitimate interest pursuant to point (f) of Art. 6(1) GDPR.

The information obtained in the context of newsletter tracking is used to technically improve the newsletter dispatch by technical data or the groups of recipients and their reading behaviour as well as the access times. This also includes information as to whether and when the newsletter was opened and what links contained therein are clicked. This information can be assigned to the different newsletter recipients. However, we do not want to monitor our newsletter recipients. The information obtained enable us to tailor our newsletter service even better to the recipient’s interest, e.g. by customising the different contents to the recipients’ interests and learning about their reading habits.
Such purpose is also the basis for our legitimate interest in personal data processing according to point (f) of Art. 6 (1) GDPR.

4. Retention Period
The data will be erased once it is no longer required to achieve the purpose of its collection. For the personal data from the input screen of the contact form and that sent by e-mail, this is the case where the relevant conversation with the user has been terminated. The conversation is deemed terminated once it becomes clear from the circumstances that the relevant issue has been conclusively resolved.
5. Objection and Elimination Option

Where processing has been restricted pursuant to the aforementioned conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction of processing is lifted.
4. Right to Erasure

(5) for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.

You have the right vis-à-vis the controller to be informed of such recipients.
6. Right to Data Portability
You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have provided to the controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.

(1) the processing is based on consent pursuant to point (a) of Art. 6(1) GDPR or point (a) of Art. 9(2) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to point (b) of Art. 6(1) GDPR; and
(2) the processing is carried out by automated means.
In exercising such right, you further have the right to have the personal data concerning you transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible. This must not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.
The right to data portability does not apply to personal data processing that is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
7. Right to Object
You have the right to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning you which is based on point (e) or (f) of Art. 6(1) GDPR, including profiling based on those provisions.

In the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, you may exercise your right to object by automated means using technical specifications.
8. Right to Withdraw Consent
You have the right to withdraw your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The withdrawal of consent will not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
9. Automated Individual Decision-Making Including Profiling
You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision
(1) is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between you and the controller;
(2) is authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests; or
(3) is based on your explicit consent.
However, such decisions must not be based on special categories of personal data referred to in Art. 9(1) GDPR, unless points (a) or (g) of Art. 9(2) GDPR applies and suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests are in place.
In the cases referred to in (1) and (3), the data controller will implement suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express its point of view and to contest the decision.
10. Right to Lodge a Complaint with a Supervisory Authority
Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes the GDPR.
The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged will inform the complainant on the progress and the outcome of the complaint including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Art. 78 GDPR.
