Unless expressly stated in this data protection declaration, the data stored by us will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for its intended purpose and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations.

  • content data (e.g., text entries, and messages),
  • contract data (e.g., subject matter of contract, term),
  • payment data (e.g., bank details, payment history),
  • usage data and metadata (e.g., in the context of evaluating and measuring the success of marketing measures).
As a matter of principle, we do not process special categories of Personal Data, unless these are components of commissioned processing. The purpose of the processing is the provision of contractual services, billing, and our customer service. We process data that is necessary for the justification and fulfilment of contractual services and point out the necessity of their disclosure. Disclosure to external parties only takes place if it is necessary in the context of the service
When processing the data provided to us within the scope of providing our services, we act in accordance with the instructions of the client as well as the legal requirements of processing and do not process the data for any other purposes than those specified in the service.
We delete the data after the expiry of statutory warranty and comparable obligations. The necessity of storing the data is reviewed every three years; in the case of statutory archiving obligations, the deletion takes place after their expiry (6 years).
In the case of data disclosed to us by the user within the scope of the service, we delete the data in accordance with the specifications of the service, in principle after the end of the service.

Administration, financial accounting, office organisation, contact management

We process data within the scope of administrative tasks as well as organisation of our business, financial accounting, and compliance with legal obligations, such as archiving

In doing so, we process the same data that we process in the context of providing our contractual services. The purpose and our interest in the processing lies in the administration, financial accounting, office organisation, archiving of data, i.e., tasks that serve the maintenance of our business activities, performance of our tasks and provision of our services.

The deletion of data with regard to contractual services and contractual communication corresponds to the information mentioned in these processing activities.

In this context, we disclose or transmit data to the tax authorities, consultants such as tax advisors or auditors as well as other fee offices and payment service providers.

Furthermore, we store information on suppliers, contractors, and other business partners on the basis of our business interests, e.g., for the purpose of contacting them at a later date. This data, most of which is company-related, is stored permanently

Contact

When contacting us (e.g., via e-mail, phone, or social media), the user’s details are processed for the purpose of handling the request and its processing. The user’s details may be stored in a customer relationship management system or comparable enquiry organisation. We delete the enquiries if they are no longer necessary. We review the necessity every two years; furthermore, the legal archiving obligations apply.

Collection of access data and log files

We collect data on every access to our website on the basis of our legitimate interest. The access data includes the name of the website accessed, file, date and time of access, amount of data transferred, notification of successful access, browser type and version, the user’s operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page), IP address and the requesting provider.

Log file information is stored for security reasons (e.g., for the clarification of abuse or fraud) for a maximum of 7 days and then deleted. Data whose further storage is necessary for evidentiary purposes is exempt from deletion until the respective incident is finally clarified.

Do Not Sell

We do not sell Personal Data to third parties.

Marketing

Insofar as you have also given us your consent to process your Personal Data for marketing and advertising purposes, we are entitled to contact you for these purposes via the communication channels you have given your consent to.

You may give us your consent in a number of ways including by selecting a box on a form where we seek your permission, or sometimes your consent is implied from your interactions or contractual relationship. Where your consent is implied, it is on the basis that you would have a reasonable expectation of receiving a marketing communication based on your interactions or contractual relationship with us.

Our Marketing generally takes the form of e-mail but may also include other less traditional or emerging channels. These forms of contact will be managed by us, or by our contracted service providers. Every directly addressed marketing sent by us or on our behalf will include a means by which you may unsubscribe or opt out

Social Media

We are present on social media on the basis of our legitimate interest. If you contact us via social media platforms, you should note that the chat history can neither be deleted by us nor by you. And that, in accordance with the DPA and the GDPR, the relevant social media platform and we are jointly responsible for the processing of your data and enter into a so-called joint controller agreement. A Joint Controller Agreement itself is very legalistic and lengthy, but in a nutshell, it clarifies how the jointly responsible parties will fulfil the obligations arising from data protection laws that are applicable to them. The legal basis for the use of the relevant social media platform is our legitimate interest, your consent or, in the case of a (pre) contractual relationship with us, the initiation of a contractual service, if any.

Children’s Privacy

Our services are restricted to users who are 18 years of age or older. We do not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under the age of 18. If you suspect that a user is under the age of 18, please contact us.

Changes
