In addition, we process personal data that we have obtained and are permitted to process from publicly accessible sources (e.g. trade and association registers, press, media).

General notes
​
Transfers to third countries
If we process data in a third country (i.e. outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA)) or if this is done in the context of the use of third-party services or disclosure or transfer of data to third parties, this will only occur if it is done to fulfil our (pre)contractual obligations, on the basis of your consent, a legal obligation or on the basis of our legitimate interests. Subject to legal or contractual permissions, we process or allow the data to be processed in a third country only if the special requirements of Art. 44 ff. GDPR. This means that the processing takes place, for example, on the basis of special guarantees, such as the officially recognised determination of a data protection level corresponding to the EU (e.g. for the USA by the “Privacy Shield”) or compliance with officially recognised special contractual obligations (so-called “standard contractual clauses”).

Data storage
If necessary, we process and store personal data for the duration of the business relationship. This also includes the initiation and execution of a contract. For the duration of the existence of warranty and guarantee claims, the necessary personal data will be stored. In addition, we store personal data insofar as we are legally obliged to do so. Corresponding proof and storage obligations result from the commercial code and the tax code. The time limits for storage or documentation assigned there are six years in accordance with commercial law requirements in accordance with § 257 HGB and up to ten years due to tax requirements in accordance with § 147 AO. We delete personal data of the person concerned as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies and statutory retention periods do not prevent deletion.
Legal or contractual provisions governing the provision of personal data; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of not providing the dataWe will inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). For the conclusion of a contract, it is necessary that you provide us with personal data. Without this data, we will generally have to refuse to conclude a contract or will no longer be able to execute an existing contract and may have to terminate it. If there is a legal obligation to provide the data, you are obliged to provide us with personal data. If you do not provide the data, we may not establish the desired business relationship. Before the data subject provides personal data, the data subject may contact our data protection officer. Our data protection officer informs the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of a contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what consequences the non-availability of the personal data would have.
