In that case, please also note that company’s data protection statement.
The subject of data protection is personal data. According to Art. 4 Nr. 1 GDPR, this means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person; this includes e.g. names or identification numbers.

If you send queries to us by email or by mail, then your information from your query including the contact data you specified therein will be saved and used by us for the purposes of processing your query. Generally, we save your queries for the standard statute of limitations period, i.e. three years from the end of the year in which you sent the query to us, unless the data is subject to statutory retention periods or in specific cases is required for longer in order to protect, enforce or defend claims.
We collect this data in order to be able to accept and handle your query, Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.
You can register to use ecratum's customer and supplier management platform. Any data that must be provided for the registration will be marked as such. Alternatively, as the affected company you can provide certain requested data even without registration or view or download provided information.
