As a legal basis for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose, the legal basis is Art. 6 I lit. a). If the processing of personal data is required to fulfill a contract of which you are a party, as is the case, for example, in processing operations necessary for the provision of our service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b) GDPR.
The same applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries regarding our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, such as the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing according to Art. 6 I lit. c) GDPR.
In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be required to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor to our premises were injured and his or her name, age, health insurance or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6 I lit. d) GDPR.
Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f) GDPR are based. On this legal basis, processing operations that are not covered by any of the above legal bases are required if processing is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of our company or a third party, unless your interests, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms prevail. Such processing operations are particularly allowed to us because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this regard, he took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if you are our customer as the data subject (see also recital 47 sentence 2 GDPR).
Is the processing of personal data based on Article 6 I lit. f) GDPR is our legitimate interest in conducting our business for the benefit of all of our employees and our shareholders.
The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. Below are two common rules listed as examples:
6 years according to § 257 Abs. 1 HGB (trading books, inventories, opening balance sheets, annual accounts, trade letters, accounting documents, etc.)
10 years according to § 147 Abs. 1 AO (books, records, management reports, accounting documents, commercial and business letters, documents relevant for taxation, etc.)
We clarify that the provision of personal data may in part be required by law (for example, by tax regulations) or result from contractual arrangements (such as details of the contractor).
Sometimes it may be necessary to conclude a contract that you as the data subject provide us with data as the responsible party, which must subsequently be processed by us. For example, you are required to provide us with personal information when our company concludes a contract with you. Failure to provide your personal information would mean that the contract could not be concluded with you.
Before you provide us with personal information, you must contact one of our employees. Our employee will clarify to you on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is required for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what would be the consequence of the non-provision of the personal data.
