Legal basis for data processing

If we obtain your consent to process your personal data, this consent serves as the legal basis required under Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

If we process personal data that is required in order to perform a contract that we have signed with you, then the contract is the legal basis in accordance with Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR. Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR also applies to processing operations that are required in order for us to take steps before a contract is entered into; for example, in the event of enquiries relating to our products or services.

If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires us to process personal data – such as a tax obligation – then the legal basis for processing is Article 6 (1) (c) GDPR.

In order to continuously improve our content, we store and analyse pseudonymised usage data from online activities. The legal basis for this is Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR.

Making the web page available generally requires the involvement of data processors working on our instructions, e.g. data centre operators.

The external service providers that we use to process data on our behalf are carefully selected and subject to strict contractual obligations. The service providers follow our instructions, and this is guaranteed by strict contractual regulations, technical and organisational measures, and supplementary checks and controls.

Moreover, we share your data with third parties only when you have given your express consent or on the basis of a statutory requirement.

Data will not be transferred to third countries outside the EU/EEA or to an international organisation unless appropriate guarantees have been provided. These include the EU standard contractual clauses and an adequacy decision from the European Commission.

We store your data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which the data was collected and/or to comply with legal requirements. For example, if we have a contractual relationship with you, we store your data at least until the contract period has come to an end. The data will then be retained for the duration of the mandatory retention period.
