2  Overview of processing

 

Categories of data we process

 

  • Inventory data (e.g. names, addresses)

  • Contact data (e.g. e-mail, phone)

  • Content data (e.g. messages, uploads)

  • Usage data (e.g. pages viewed, click paths)

  • Meta / communication / procedural data (e.g. IP addresses, timestamps)

  • Log data (server log files)

 

Data subjects concerned

 

  • Visitors and users of our online services

  • Communication partners

 

Purposes of processing

 

  • Communication with you

  • Security of our systems

  • Internal organisation and administration

  • Collecting feedback

  • Providing and improving our online offer

  • Maintaining our IT infrastructure

 

 


 

 

3  Legal bases we rely on

 

 

  • Consent (Art. 6 (1) a GDPR) – You have given us permission for a specific purpose.

  • Contract performance / pre-contractual steps (Art. 6 (1) b GDPR) – Processing is necessary to fulfil a contract with you or to respond to your request before a contract.

  • Legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) f GDPR) – We have a legitimate interest that is not overridden by your rights and freedoms.

 

National German rules (BDSG) and, where applicable, the Swiss FADP apply in addition.

 


 

 

4  Security measures

 

We implement technical and organisational safeguards appropriate to the risk, including access controls, encryption, backup procedures, incident-response plans and privacy-by-design/default principles.

 


 

 

5  Disclosure of personal data

 

We may transfer data to other entities—e.g. IT service providers or embedded-content providers—only where this is legally permitted and protected by suitable contracts (e.g. data-processing agreements).

 


 

 

6  International data transfers

 

If we process data outside the EU/EEA:

 

  • We rely on an EU adequacy decision, Standard Contractual Clauses, your explicit consent, or another legal derogation.

  • For some US providers we rely on the EU–US Data Privacy Framework (DPF) if they are certified.

 

 


 

 

7  Storage and erasure of data

 

We erase personal data once the purpose no longer applies and no statutory retention duties remain. Typical German retention periods:

 

  • 10 years – Accounting records, invoices, tax-relevant documents

  • 6 years – Commercial correspondence and similar business documents

  • 3 years – Data needed to defend potential legal claims (regular limitation period)

 

If multiple periods apply, the longest period prevails.

 


 

 

8  Your rights (GDPR)

 

 

  • Right to object – You can object to processing based on Art. 6 (1) e or f GDPR at any time; you can always object to direct marketing.

  • Right to withdraw consent – You can revoke consent at any time.

  • Right of access – You can request confirmation and details of any processing of your data.

  • Right to rectification – You can request that inaccurate data be corrected.

  • Right to erasure / restriction – You can request deletion or restriction in accordance with legal requirements.

  • Right to data portability – You can receive data you provided in machine-readable form or have it transmitted to another controller.

  • Right to lodge a complaint – You may complain to a supervisory authority if you believe we violate data-protection law.

 

 


 

 

9  Provision of our website & hosting

 

We process your IP address to deliver the website and maintain server log files (max. 30 days) for security and operational purposes.

Legal basis: our legitimate interests (Art. 6 (1) f GDPR).

11  Contact and enquiry handling
