2. What are the sources and data we use?

We process data that you provide us with or that we have received from third parties within the scope of existing contracts or with your permission.

In particular, the following personal data and categories of data are processed for the purposes mentioned in section 3:

  • Personal data (first name, last name, address, telephone number, e-mail address).
  • Content of the specific contract (article, price, etc.)
  • Payment information such as bank details or data for internet-based payment services
  • Concluded contracts
  • Information on payment behavior

3. What is the purpose of processing your data? What is the legal basis?

In the following we inform you on the purpose and legal basis of processing your data.

3.1 For the fulfillment of contractual obligations (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR)

We process your personal data for preparation and implementation of the business relationship. The purposes depend on the specific contract and include, for example:

  • Communication with contact persons of our business partners
  • Preparation, conclusion and execution of contracts
  • Preparation of offers, order confirmations and invoices

Data processing is effected on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR provided that a business relationship exists or is to be entered into with you personally. Provided that, on the other hand, you are acting on behalf of a third party, in particular your employer, data processing will be carried out on the basis of Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, provided your fundamental rights are complied with. See further explanations under section 3.2.

We delete the data when they are no longer required for the purposes we pursue in preparing and carrying out the business relationship and no other legal reasons, in particular statutory or contractual retention periods, intervene.

3.2 In the context of balancing of interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR)

We may also use your data on the basis of a balance of interests to protect our legitimate interests and those of third parties. In particular, this may come into effect for the following purposes:

  • General business management
  • Assertion of legal claims and defense in legal disputes
  • Prevention and investigation of criminal offences
  • Ensuring IT security and IT operations

For your personal safety and for the prevention of criminal offenses against the company, video surveillance takes place on the company premises [in publicly accessible areas]. The video data will be stored for a period of 10 working days; if required, the storage period is extended until the specified purpose no longer applies.

Our interest in processing the data results from the respective purposes and is of economic nature (efficient task fulfillment, sales, avoidance of legal risks).

Furthermore, data processing is carried out on this basis provided that you are acting for a third party, in particular your employer, within the scope of the purposes stated in section 3.1. Our legitimate interests lie in transacting business with this third party. Data processing is thereby carried out on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. We will delete the data when they are no longer required for the purposes we pursue and no other legal basis applies.

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

Under certain conditions, we also process your personal data on the basis of a declaration of consent given by you. A consent can be revoked at any time. This also applies to the revocation of declarations of consent given prior to the application of the GDPR, i.e. prior to May 25, 2018. The revocation only takes effect for the future. Processing that took place before the revocation is not affected.

We delete the data if they are no longer required for the purposes we pursue, if the storage period specified in the consent has expired or if you have revoked the consent and no other legal basis applies. If the latter applies, we delete the data when the other legal basis has ceased to exist.

4. Who will receive my data?

Your data will be passed on only if permitted on a legal basis.

The data mentioned under point 2 will be transferred to government agencies if there is a legal obligation or if you have consented to this transfer. Such government agencies may be, in particular, tax authorities, customs administration or trade supervisory authorities.

Within our company, your data will be disclosed only to those bodies fulfilling their respective tasks based on our contractual and legal obligations. Furthermore, personal data may be passed on to tax consultants, IT service providers or similar for the purpose of order processing. This is necessary for the fulfillment of contractual obligations (see section 3).

In addition, order processors used by us (Art. 28 GDPR), in particular in the field of IT services, may process your data for us in accordance with instructions.

In order to assess the risk of concluding a contract, we reserve the right to send your personal data to a credit agency or request information about you. This transfer is permitted pursuant to Art. 6 (1f) GDPR, for we pursue legitimate interests by limiting the economic risk. The credit bureaus evaluate the information collected by us and others and provide us with an assessment of the risk of default in individual cases.

d. Right to restriction of processing

Under certain circumstances, you have the right to demand restriction of the processing of your personal data. In this case, we will only store personal data for which you have given consent or for which the GDPR permits processing. For example, you may have a right to restrict processing if you have disputed the accuracy of your personal data.

e. Right to data portability

If you have provided us with personal data on the basis of a contract or consent, you may, if legal requirements are met, demand that we hand out to you the personal data you have provided in a structured, common and machine-readable format or that we transfer it to another data controller.

For this purpose, you may contact the data protection authority responsible for your place of residence, workplace or the place of an alleged violation or the data protection authority responsible for us. The competent supervisory authority is the supervisory authority of the federal state you have residence or work in or in which an infringement is alleged to have taken place which is subject of the complaint.

8. To what extent is my data used for profiling?

We do not process your data with the aim of evaluating certain personal aspects (so-called "profiling").

9. Am i obliged to provide the data?

You are not obliged by law to provide us with personal data. If, however, you do not provide us with the data necessary for conclusion and processing of the contract, as well as the data we are obliged to collect and process for legal reasons upon and after conclusion of the contract, the conclusion of a contract will generally not be possible.

10. Information concerning your right of objection according to art. 21 GDPR

You have the right to object to the processing of personal data concerning your person, which is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR (data processing on the basis of a balance of interests), for reasons relating to your particular situation at any time; this also applies to profiling based on this provision within the meaning of Article 4(4) of the GDPR. If you object, we will no longer process your personal data unless there are compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which protect your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

We may also process your data for direct marketing within the scope of the legal provisions. You have the right to object to the processing of personal data concerning your person for the purpose of such advertising at any time. This also applies to profiling, insofar as it is associated with such direct advertising.
