CHRISTOF INDUSTRIES is a limited liability company based on the Limited Liability Company Act and therefore a private-sector company, not an agency or public authority in the meaning of Art. 37(1) lit. a GDPR. Comprehensive processing of special category or personal data regarding criminal convictions and offenses or broad, regular and systematic monitoring of data subjects as per Art. 37(1) lit. b and c GDPR is not part of our core business. For this reason we are not obligated to nominate a Data Protection Officer. However, we established a point of contact for questions regarding data protection regulations under DataProtection@christof.com.
