This data protection declaration meets the legal requirements for transparency in the processing of personal data. This is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. This includes, for example, information such as your name, your age, your address, your telephone number, your date of birth, your email address, your IP address or user behavior when visiting a website. Information for which we cannot establish a connection to you personally (or only with disproportionate effort), e.g. through anonymization, is not personal data. The processing of personal data (e.g. collection, query, use, storage or transmission) always requires a legal basis and a defined purpose.
Stored personal data will be deleted as soon as the purpose of the processing has been achieved and there are no lawful reasons for further retention of the data. We will inform you about the specific storage periods and criteria for storage in the individual processing operations. Regardless of this, we store your personal data in individual cases to assert, exercise or defend legal claims and if there are statutory retention obligations.
This information is aimed at customers, interested parties, suppliers and employees. We process your personal data for the following purposes:
To fulfill our contractual obligations to which we are obliged to you (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR).
To carry out pre-contractual obligations (Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter b GDPR).
To answer inquiries (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR).
If you have given us your consent to process your personal data for specific purposes (e.g. to receive our newsletter), the data processing takes place on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 Letter a GDPR).
To fulfill legal obligations to which our company is subject (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c GDPR).
To the extent necessary, we also process your data to protect our legitimate interests, in particular to assert legal claims and defend ourselves in legal disputes or to ensure IT security, to consult and exchange data with credit agencies to determine creditworthiness and default risks, and for direct advertising and market research, provided you have not objected to the use of your data for this purpose, in measures for business management and further development of services and products, in measures for product and sales optimization, in measures for risk management, for preventing or solving criminal offenses (Art. 6 para . 1 lit. f GDPR).
Within our company, only those employees who absolutely need it to fulfill their tasks have access to the data (need-to-know principle). Individual processes and services are carried out by carefully selected and data protection-compliant service providers who are based within the EEA. If service providers commissioned by us receive access to personal data when carrying out their services, order processing contracts have been concluded with them in accordance with Art. 28 Para. 3 GDPR.
The data we process will be stored for the duration of the existence and processing of the contractual relationship and in compliance with statutory retention periods. These are in particular commercial and tax retention obligations according to the Commercial Code (HGB) and the Tax Code (AO). The regular retention and documentation periods are up to ten years. If there is no contractual relationship, we only process the data for as long as the specific purpose requires.
As a data subject, you have the following rights with regard to the personal data concerning you:
Right to information about the data we process about you.
Right to correction or deletion if we have collected them incorrectly, out of date or unlawfully.
Right to restriction of processing if complete deletion is not possible, for example because we have to comply with legal retention obligations.
Right to object to processing if the data processing is based on a balance of interests (the so-called legitimate interest), as described above under “Purpose of processing”. This is the case if the processing is not necessary to fulfill a contract with you. When asserting your right to object, we ask you to explain the reasons why we should not process your data as we do.
Of course, you can also object to the processing of your personal data for advertising purposes at any time. Please send your objection to our address given in the legal notice or write us an email to the address given in the legal notice.
Right to withdraw your consent if you have given us your consent to process your data. You can revoke your consent to our company at any time without giving reasons. To do this, please contact the address provided in the legal notice.

Type and extent of processing
If you send us inquiries (e.g. via contact form, email or telephone), we store all the data resulting from this (e.g. name, email address, subject of the inquiry, etc.). We need this data to process your request and to answer follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent.
This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR, provided your request is related to the fulfillment of a contract or is necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures. Otherwise, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the inquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if you have given it beforehand have.
The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions – in particular retention periods – remain unaffected.
You have the opportunity to apply to us on our website (e.g. by email, post or via the online application form).
We process the applicants' personal data in accordance with the legal requirements for the purpose of processing the application process and to carry out pre-contractual measures within the meaning of Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter b. GDPR and Section 26 BDSG under German law (initiation of an employment relationship) and – if you have given your consent – Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a GDPR. Consent can be revoked at any time.

Your data will be stored for a period of 6 months after the application process has ended. This is usually done to fulfill legal obligations or to defend against any claims arising from legal regulations. We are then obliged to delete or anonymize your data. In this case, the data is only available to us as so-called metadata without direct personal reference for statistical evaluations (e.g. proportion of women or men in applications, number of applications per period, etc.).
If it becomes clear that the data will be required after the 6-month period has expired (e.g. due to an impending or pending legal dispute), deletion will only take place when the purpose for further storage no longer applies.
As part of the application, we offer applicants the opportunity to participate in our “talent pool” for a period of 12 months on the basis of consent within the meaning of Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a. GDPR to be included.

The customer data collected will be deleted after the order has been completed or the business relationship has ended. Statutory retention periods remain unaffected.
We only transmit personal data if this is necessary as part of contract processing, for example to shipping service providers or the credit institution responsible for processing payments. The data will not be transmitted beyond this, or will only be transmitted if you have expressly agreed to the transmission.
The basis for data processing is the fulfillment of a contract or pre-contractual measures in accordance with Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR.
We operate publicly accessible profiles on social networks. You can find the social networks we use in detail below.
Social networks such as Facebook, Twitter etc. can usually analyze your user behavior comprehensively. Visiting our social media presence triggers the following data protection-relevant processing operations:
If you are logged in to your social media account and visit our profile, the operator of this social media can track your visit. Regardless of this, the operator may be able to process your data (e.g. IP address) even if you are not logged into your account or if you do not have an account at all.
The operator summarizes this data in user profiles in which your preferences and interests are stored. These profiles are used to place personalized advertising inside and outside the respective social media presence. If you have an account with the respective social network, the personalized advertising can be displayed on all devices on which you are logged in or were logged in.
Depending on the platform, further processing operations may be carried out by the operators of the social media portals; we have no influence on this. Details can be found in the terms of use and data protection regulations of the respective social media portals.
Our social media presence is intended to ensure the most comprehensive presence possible on the Internet within the meaning of Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f of the GDPR. The analysis processes carried out by the operators of the social networks may be based on different legal bases, which must be specified by the respective providers.
If you visit one of our social media sites (e.g. Facebook), we, together with the operator of the social media platform, are responsible for the data processing operations triggered by this visit. In principle, you can exercise your rights (information, correction, deletion, restriction of processing, data portability and complaint) both. us as well as against the operator of the respective social media portal (e.g. Facebook).
Despite our shared responsibility with the social media portal operators, we do not have full influence on the portals' data processing operations. Our options depend largely on the corporate policy of the respective provider.
The data we collect directly via the social media presence will be deleted from our systems as soon as you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Mandatory legal provisions – especially retention periods – remain unaffected.
We have no influence on the storage period of the data collected by social networks. For details, please contact the operators of the social networks directly (e.g. in their data protection declaration, see below).
