2. Purpose of data processing and legal basis

Data is processed on the basis of legislative stipulations in order to establish a business relationship between yourself and us and to comply with the associated obligations.

For this purpose, we process your personal data, in particular your contact details. This includes form of address, first name, surname, e-mail address which we collect on the basis of the data you provide (for example, on a business card) or we complete on the basis of our own research. If the SEPA direct debit mandate has been selected as the payment method, we will collect the following additional information in order to carry out the direct debit collection and to refund credits: name of the account holder(s), address details of the account holder(s), bank and IBAN.

We must collect your data in order to be able to exchange personalised information with you about our products, offers, orders or other matters pertaining to our business relationship. We cannot provide thorough support unless this necessary information is supplied.

3. Recipients of your data

We only transfer your personal data to third parties if this is permitted by law or you have given your consent.

Recipients of your personal data may primarily be credit agencies (e. g. the General Credit Protection Agency “Schufa” or the debt collecting agency “Creditreform” in Germany) who determine creditworthiness or payment default risks and/or public authorities who clarify legal disputes. In individual cases, data is transferred to other authorised recipients. Should we wish to process your personal data for a purpose not previously mentioned, we will inform you of this in advance within the framework of the legal provisions.

4. Storage of your data

We only store your personal data for as long as is required for processing purposes.

We store your personal data for the above purposes. Processing of your data commences when it is collected, insofar as you or a third party provide it to us. We delete your personal data when the contractual relationship with you has ended, all mutual claims have been fulfilled and there are no other statutory retention obligations or legal justifications for further storage. Such justifications include retention obligations under the German Commercial Code (HGB) and the German Fiscal Code (AO). This means that we delete your personal data after expiry of the statutory retention period at the latest, usually 10 years after the last receipt issued.

5. Your rights

You have the right to access information about the personal data concerning you. You can also demand the rectification of incorrect data.

In addition, under certain circumstances you have the right to have data erased, the right to restrict data processing and the right to data portability.

Your data is processed in accordance with legal regulations. Only in exceptional cases do we need your consent. In these cases, you have the right to revoke your consent to future processing.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with the responsible data protection supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of your personal data is not lawful.

Fulfilment of (pre-)contractual obligations (Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR)
Personal data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR for the purpose of fulfilling contractual or pre-contractual obligations specifically relating to the sale and distribution of our goods and services, as well as all necessary activities (e. g. customer management).

Safeguarding of legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR)
Personal data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR and may therefore be used to safeguard our legitimate interests or those of third parties.

Fulfilment of legal obligations (Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR)
It may be necessary to process personal data in part for the purpose of fulfilling various legal obligations and requirements imposed on us, e. g. under the German Commercial Code (HGB) or the German Fiscal Code (AO).

In individual cases, you may have given us consent to process your data. The processing is then carried out in accordance with the purposes and to the extent agreed in the Declaration of Consent. Consent given, e. g. to receive a newsletter, can be revoked at any time with future effect. Please contact our data protection officer for this purpose. Please note that any processing carried out prior to the time of revocation will not be affected by it and, under certain circumstances, data may still be processed, at least in part, on a different legal basis.

7. Origin of the data

In accordance with the GDPR, we are obliged to explain our source for your data if we did not obtain it directly from you.
