§ 5 Legal basis for the processing

Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose.

If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, when processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service, the processing is based on Article 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.

The same applies to such processing operations, which are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries concerning our products or services. Is our company subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) GDPR.

According to Article 6 para. 1 lit d) GDPR, the processing of personal data takes place when the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person are to be protected.

If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR, it is in our legitimate interest to carry out our business activities.

§ 6 Period for which the personal data will be stored

The criteria used to determine the period of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiration of that period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, as long as it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of a contract.

§ 7 Existence of automated decision-making

As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.
