The legal basis for processing your personal data is, unless there are no specific legal rules, Art. 6 GDPR, especially:

  • Data processing in order to fulfil a contract (Art. 6 (1) lit. b) GDPR)
  • Data processing after weighing of interests (Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR)

If we process your personal data because you have given your consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent for future data processing at any time.

If we process your personal data due to weighing of interests you have the right to object to processing of your personal data as far as the requirements of Art. 21 GDPR are fulfilled.

6.    For how long will your data be stored?

Your personal data will only be processed as long as it is necessary for the specific purpose.

If we are legally obliged, further storage might become necessary.

Data will be erased according to the legal regulations if the purpose of storing is omitted or if the data retention period expires.

At the end of each year we generally check the personal data on how far further processing is necessary. Due to the amount of data this assessment is carried out with regard to specific data types or purposes of data processing.

At any time you can request information about your personal data that we might process. If it is not necessary to process your personal data, you can request erasure or restriction of the processing.

7.    Is your data transferred to other recipients?

Your personal data will only be transferred to further recipients if it is necessary to fulfil a contract with you, if it is allowed on basis of weighing interests according to Art. 6 (1) lit. f) GDPR, if we are legally obliged to transfer your personal data, or if you have given your consent.

8.    Where is your personal data processed?

We will process your data only on servers in Germany, our data processors in the European Union.
