General Information on Data Processing

Legal basis for processing personal data

• Insofar as we obtain the data subject’s consent for the processing of personal data, the legal basis is as provided by point (a) of Art. 6(1) GDPR.

• Where the processing of personal data is required for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a contracting party, the legal basis is as provided by point (b) of Art. 6(1) GDPR. This also applies to processing required to implement measures prior to entering into a contract.

• Where the processing of personal data is required to meet a legal obligation to which our company is subject, the legal basis is as provided by point (c) of Art. 6(1) GDPR.

• Where the processing of personal data is necessary to protect an interest, which is essential to the life of the data subject or that of another natural person, the legal basis is as provided by point (d) of Art. 6(1) GDPR.

• Where the processing is required to uphold a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, and the data subject’s interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms do not outweigh the aforementioned interest, the legal basis for the processing is as provided by point (f) of Art. 6(1) GDPR.

Erasure of data and retention periods

The data subject’s personal data shall be erased or made unavailable when the purpose of retention no longer applies. Data may also be retained where stipulated by European or national legislation in EU regulations, laws or other requirements to which the Controller is subject. Data shall also be made unavailable or erased where a retention period stipulated by the standards referred to above expires, unless further retention of the data is necessary to conclude or fulfill a contract.

• Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR): You can obtain from us the restriction of processing of the personal data concerning you where the conditions listed in Art. 18(1) GDPR apply.

Where the personal data concerning you is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for such marketing, which includes profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing.
