General information on data processing

1. Scope of processing of personal information Contact

Personal data is collected within the framework of contact (e.g. by contact form, whitepaper, e-mail). The type of data collected in the case of a contact form can be seen on the relevant contact form. This data will only be saved and used to answer your questions or for contacting you and the associated technical administration. The legal basis for the processing of the data is our vested interest in answering your query pursuant to article 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

If your contact is regarding the conclusion of a contract, there is an additional legal basis for the processing, article 6 (1) (b) GDPR. Your data will be deleted after final processing of your query. This is the case when for certain reasons the affected question has been clarified and if no other legal storage requirements apply.

Data processing for contract conclusion

According to article 6 (1) (b) GDPR, personal data are continued to be collected and processed if you provide this for the implementation of a contract. The type of data collected can be seen on the relevant entry form. Deletion of data is always possible and can be requested through a message to the responsible party at the aforementioned address.

We store and use the data provided by you for conclusion of the contract. After completion of the contract, your data are locked in consideration of the tax and commercially required storage periods and after these deadlines expire the data is deleted if you have not expressly agreed to the further use of your data or if there is a legally permissible other use of data on our part, of which we will inform you accordingly.

Contact for direct advertising

Based on our vested interest in personal direct advertising, we reserve the right to store your first and last name, your postal address and, if we have received this additional information within the framework of the contractual relationship or via our whitepaper, you full name, your e-mail address and your occupational, industry or business name pursuant to article 6 (1) (f) GDPR, and to use these for the dispatch of interesting offers and information on our products by e-mail.

You may always object to the storage and use of your data for this purpose at any time by sending a message to the responsible party.

2. Legal reasons for the processing of personal information

To the extent that we receive consent for the processing of personal data for the affected person, article 6 (1) (a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is the legal basis.

In the processing of personal data required for the fulfilment of a contract, for which the contractual party is the affected person, article 6 (1) (b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing procedures that are required for pre-contractual measures.

If processing of data is required for the fulfilment of a legal requirement to which our company is subject, article 6 (1) (c) GDPR is the legal basis.

In the case that essential interests of the affected person or another natural person require the processing of personal data, article 6 (1) (d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If the processing is required to protect a vested interest of our company or of a third party and do not outweigh the interests and basic rights and freedoms of the affected party of the first listed interest, article 6 (1) (f) GDPR is the legal basis.

3. Purpose of data processing

The processing of personal data from the input mask only serves for the processing of contact. In the event of contact by e-mail, this also includes the required vested interest in processing the data. The other personal data processed during the dispatch process serve to prevent a misuse of the contact form and to ensure the security of our information technology systems.

4. Data deletion and duration of storage

The personal data of the affected person will be deleted or locked as soon as the reason for storage no longer applies. Saving may also occur if required by European or national legislation under union law ordinances, laws or other provisions to which the responsible party are subject.
