Contract handling

1. We process inventory data (e.g., company, title/academic degree, names and addresses, and contact details of users, email), contract data (e.g., services used, names of contact persons), and payment data (e.g., bank details, payment history) for the purpose of fulfilling our contractual obligations (knowing who the contractual partner is; establishing, defining the content of, and processing the contract; verifying the plausibility of the data) and providing services (e.g., customer service contact) in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 Sentence 1 Letter b) GDPR. Entries marked as mandatory in online forms are required for the conclusion of the contract.
2. We do not generally pass on this data to third parties, unless it is necessary for the enforcement of our claims (e.g. transfer to a lawyer for debt collection) or for the fulfillment of the contract (e.g. transfer of data to payment providers) or there is a legal obligation to do so pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c) GDPR.
3. We may also process the data you provide to inform you about other interesting products from our portfolio or to send you emails with technical information.
4. The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected. For inventory and contract data, this is the case when the data is no longer needed for the execution of the contract and no further claims can be asserted under the contract because they have expired (warranty: two years / standard limitation period: three years). Due to commercial and tax law requirements, we are obligated to store your address, payment, and order data for a period of ten years. However, after three years following contract termination, we restrict the processing of this data, meaning it will only be used to comply with legal obligations. Information in the user account will remain until the account is deleted.

Contact us via contact form / email / fax / post

1. When you contact us via contact form, fax, post or e-mail, your information will be processed for the purpose of handling your contact request.
2. The legal basis for processing your data, if you have given your consent, is Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. The legal basis for processing data transmitted in the course of a contact request or via email, letter, or fax is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The controller has a legitimate interest in processing and storing the data in order to respond to user inquiries, for evidentiary purposes in case of liability claims, and to comply with any legal retention obligations for business correspondence. If the contact aims at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.
3. We may store your details and contact request in our Customer Relationship Management System ("CRM System") or a comparable system.
4. The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected. For personal data from the contact form and data transmitted by email, this is the case when the respective conversation with you has ended. A conversation is considered ended when it is clear from the circumstances that the matter in question has been resolved. We store inquiries from users who have an account or contract with us for up to two years after the contract ends. In the case of statutory archiving obligations, deletion occurs after their expiry: the end of the commercial (6 years) and tax-related (10 years) retention periods.
5. You have the right to withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data at any time, in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. If you contact us by email, you can object to the storage of your personal data at any time.

Contact via telephone

1. When you contact us by phone, your phone number is processed to handle your inquiry and is temporarily stored or displayed in the RAM/cache of your phone/display. This storage is for liability and security reasons, to provide proof of the call, and for business reasons, to enable a callback. In the case of unsolicited advertising calls, we block the phone numbers.
2. The legal basis for processing the telephone number is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. If the contact aims at concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.
3. The device cache stores call logs for 30 days and successively overwrites or deletes older data. When the device is disposed of, all data is deleted and the storage medium may be physically destroyed. Blocked phone numbers are reviewed annually to determine if the block is still necessary.
4. You can prevent your phone number from being displayed by calling with a suppressed phone number.
