This data is evaluated exclusively to improve our offer and does not allow any conclusions to be drawn about the person of the user. This data is not merged with other data sources. The legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. We process and use the data for the following purposes: 1. Provision of the website, 2. Improvement of our websites and 3. Prevention and detection of errors/malfunctions as well as misuse of the website. The processing takes place to pursue legitimate interests in ensuring the functionality and error-free and secure operation of the website and adapting this website to the requirements of the users.

For this purpose, cookies are regularly stored on the end devices of the users, sometimes regardless of whether they are registered users of the social network.

Depending on where the social network is operated, user data may be processed outside the European Union or outside the European Economic Area. This can result in risks for users, for example because it makes it more difficult to enforce their rights.

Information on the processing of customer/supplier data

 

Source and origin of data collection.

We process personal data that we have collected directly from you.

Insofar as this is necessary for the provision of our services, we process personal data legitimately received from other companies or other third parties (e.g. credit agencies, address publishers). In addition, we process personal data that we have legitimately extracted, received or acquired from publicly accessible sources (such as telephone directories, commercial and association registers, population registers, debtor directories, land registers, press, Internet and other media) and may process.

 

Categories

Relevant categories of personal data may be in particular:

Personal data (name, date of birth, profession/industry and comparable data)

Contact details (address, e-mail address, telephone number and similar data)

Data about your use of the telemedia offered by us (e.g. time of accessing our websites, apps or newsletters, clicked pages/links from us or entries and comparable data)

Creditworthiness data

 

Purposes and legal bases of the processed data

We process personal data in accordance with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the new version of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and other applicable data protection regulations (details below). Which data is processed in detail and how it is used depends largely on the services requested or agreed in each case. Further details or additions to the purposes of data processing can be found in the respective contract documents, forms, a declaration of consent and/or other information provided to you (e.g. in the context of the use of our website or our terms and conditions).

 

Purposes for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures (Art. 6 para. 1 b) GDPR)

The processing of personal data takes place for the execution of our contracts with you and the execution of your orders as well as for the execution of measures and activities within the framework of pre-contractual relationships, e.g. with interested parties. This essentially includes: contract-related communication with you, the corresponding billing and associated payment transactions, the traceability of orders and other agreements as well as quality control through appropriate documentation, goodwill procedures, measures to control and optimize business processes as well as to fulfill general due diligence obligations, management and control by affiliated companies; statistical evaluations for corporate management, cost recording and controlling, reporting, internal and external communication, emergency management, billing and tax evaluation of operational services, risk management, assertion of legal claims and defence in legal disputes; Ensuring IT security (including system or plausibility tests) and general security, ensuring and exercising domiciliary rights (e.g. through access controls); Ensuring the integrity, authenticity and availability of data, preventing and investigating criminal offences and monitoring by supervisory bodies or supervisory bodies (e.g. auditing).

 

Purposes within the scope of a legitimate interest of us or third parties (Art. 6 para. 1 f GDPR)

In addition to the actual fulfilment of the contract or preliminary contract, we may process your data if it is necessary to safeguard our legitimate interests or those of third parties, in particular for the purposes of

  • advertising or market and opinion research, unless you have objected to the use of your data;
  • the examination and optimisation of needs analysis procedures;
  • the further development of services and products as well as existing systems and processes;
  • enriching our data, including by using or researching publicly available data; statistical evaluations or market analysis; benchmarking;
  • the assertion of legal claims and defence in legal disputes that are not directly attributable to the contractual relationship;
  • the prevention and investigation of criminal offences, unless exclusively for the fulfilment of legal requirements;
  • building and plant safety (e.g.

through access controls), insofar as they go beyond the general duties of care;

  • internal and external investigations and security audits;
  • obtaining and maintaining certifications of a private or regulatory nature;
  • securing and exercising domiciliary rights through appropriate measures (such as video surveillance) as well as securing evidence in the event of criminal offences and preventing them.
  • the effective and resource-saving execution of web meetings through the use of Internet-based communication tools.
  •  

     

    Purposes within the scope of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 a) GDPR)

    Processing of your personal data for specific purposes (e.g. use of your e-mail address for marketing purposes) may also take place on the basis of your consent. As a rule, you can revoke them at any time. This also applies to the revocation of declarations of consent that were issued to us before the GDPR came into force, i.e. before 25 May 2018. You will be informed separately about the purposes and consequences of revocation or non-granting of consent in the corresponding text of the consent. In principle, the revocation of consent only has effect for the future. Processing that took place before the revocation is not affected and remains lawful.

     

    Purposes to comply with legal requirements (Art. 6 para. 1 c) GDPR) or in the public interest (Art. 6 para. 1 e) GDPR)

    Like everyone involved in the economy, we are subject to a variety of legal obligations. These are primarily legal requirements (e.g. commercial and tax laws), but also regulatory or other official requirements. The purposes of processing may include the fulfilment of tax control and reporting obligations as well as the archiving of data for the purposes of data protection and data security as well as the examination by tax and other authorities. In addition, the disclosure of personal data may become necessary in the context of official/judicial measures for the purposes of gathering evidence, prosecution or enforcement of civil claims.

     

    Existence of automated decision-making in individual cases (including profiling)

    We do not use purely automated decision-making procedures in accordance with Art. 22 GDPR. If we should use such a procedure in individual cases in the future, we will inform you separately if this is required by law.

     

    Consequences of non-provision of data

    As part of the business relationship, you must provide the personal data that is necessary for the establishment, execution and termination of the legal transaction and the fulfillment of the associated contractual obligations or that we are legally obliged to collect. Without this data, we will not be able to carry out the legal transaction with you.

     

    Recipients of the data

     

    Within the EU

    Within our company, those internal departments or organisational units receive your data that need it to fulfil our contractual and legal obligations or in the context of processing and implementing our legitimate interest.

    Your data will only be passed on to external bodies

    • in connection with the execution of the contract;
    • for the purposes of fulfilling legal requirements according to which we are obliged to information, report or pass on data or the transfer of data is in the public interest (cf. Section 2.4);
    • insofar as external service providers process data on our behalf as processors or functional transferees (e.g. data centres, support/maintenance of EDP/IT applications, archiving, document processing, call centre services, compliance services, controlling, data validation or plausibility check, data destruction, purchasing/procurement, customer management, lettershops, marketing, media technology, research, risk controlling, billing, telephony, website management, auditing services, credit institutions, printers or companies for data disposal, courier services, logistics);
    • on the basis of our legitimate interest or the legitimate interest of the third party for the purposes stated (e.g. to authorities, credit agencies, debt collection, lawyers, courts, experts, subsidiaries and bodies and supervisory bodies);
    • if you have given us your consent to transfer data to third parties.

    We will not pass on your data to third parties. Insofar as we commission service providers in the context of order processing, your data is subject to the same security standards as with us. In other cases, recipients may use the data only for the purposes for which they were communicated to them.

     

    Outside the EU

    Data will not be transferred to bodies in countries outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA), so-called third countries.

     

    Storage periods

    We process and store your data for the duration of our business relationship. This also includes the initiation of a contract (pre-contractual legal relationship) and the execution of a contract.

    In addition, we are subject to various storage and documentation obligations, including those arising from the German Commercial Code (HGB) and the German Tax Code (AO). The periods specified there for storage or documentation are up to ten years to the end of the calendar year beyond the end of the business relationship or the pre-contractual legal relationship.

    Furthermore, special legal regulations may require a longer retention period, such as the preservation of evidence within the framework of the statutory statute of limitations. According to §§ 195 et seq. of the German Civil Code (BGB), the regular limitation period is three years; however, limitation periods of up to 30 years may also apply.

    If the data are no longer required for the fulfilment of contractual or legal obligations and rights, they are regularly deleted, unless their - temporary - further processing is necessary for the fulfilment of the purposes for an overriding legitimate interest. Such an overriding legitimate interest also exists, for example, if deletion is not possible or only possible with disproportionately high effort due to the special type of storage and processing for other purposes is excluded by suitable technical and organizational measures.

     

    Your rights

    Under certain conditions, you can assert your data protection rights against us. Your requests to exercise your rights should, if possible, be addressed in writing or by e-mail to the above address or directly in writing or by e-mail to our Data Protection Officer.

    • You have the right to obtain information from us about your data stored by us in accordance with the rules of Art. 15 GDPR (possibly with restrictions according to § 34 BDSG).
    • At your request, we will correct the data stored about you in accordance with Article 16 GDPR if it is incorrect or incorrect.
    • If you wish, we will delete your data in accordance with the principles of Art. 17 GDPR , provided that other legal regulations (e.g. statutory retention obligations or the restrictions according to § 35 BDSG) or an overriding interest on our part (e.g. to defend our rights and claims) do not conflict with this.
    • Taking into account the requirements of Article 18 GDPR, you may request us to restrict the processing of your data .
    • If your personal data are processed on the basis of legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR or if they are necessary for the performance of a task that is processed in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority, you have the right to object pursuant to Art. 21 GDPR  to object to the processing of your personal data, insofar as there are reasons for this arising from your particular situation or the objection is directed against direct advertising. In the latter case, you have a general right of objection, which will be implemented by us without specifying a particular situation.
    • You also have the right to receive your data in a structured, common and machine-readable format under the conditions of Article 20 GDPR or to transmit it to a third party.
