Art. 6, para. 1, letter a GDPR is our legal basis for processing procedures for which we have acquired your consent. If the processing of personal data necessary for fulfilling contractual obligations, like the delivery of goods, where the individual in question is a/the contracting party the legal basis for processing data is art. 6, para. 1, b. GDPR. The same holds true for data processing necessary for precontractual procedures such as answering inquiries about our products and services or requests for information. In case of a legal obligation that binds our company to process personal data, for example complying with tax obligations, the legal basis for processing data is art. 6, para. 1, c. GDPR. In certain exceptional situations processing of personal data can be necessary to protect the individual’s or a third person’s vital interests. Such a case would be constituted if, for example, a visitor was to injure themselves in our company and their name, age, insurance data and other vital information has to be given to doctor, hospital or other third party. In such cases art. 6, para. 1, d. GDPR constitutes the legal basis for processing data personal. Lastly processing personal data can legally be based on art. 6, para. 1, f. GDPR. This regulation encompasses all situations that are not included in the above mentioned if the processing of data is warranted for protecting legitimate interests of our company or a third party, given they do not encroach on the individual’s fundamental rights and freedoms. These processing procedures are permitted as they receive special mention by the European legislature. It is of the opinion a legitimate interest is constituted if the individual in question is a customer of the controller (Recital 47, 2, GDPR).
Legitimate interests for processing personal data as applied by the controller or a third party
If the processing of personal data is based on art. 6, para. 1, f. GDPR our legitimate interest is constituted by conducting our regular business activities for the benefit of our staff and shareholders.
Retention of personal data and duration
The storage of personal data is regulated by legally defined retention periods. After their expiration corresponding data will be deleted if it is no longer needed for the conclusion of contractual obligations or contract initiation. This includes contractual or legal obligations for giving personal data; like necessity for the conclusion of a contract; obligations of the individual in question to provide personal data; possible consequences of not providing personal data.
We wish to inform you that providing personal data is in part mandated by law (for example in tax regulations) or can also be necessary to meet legal standards of contracts (for example information about the contracting partners). It may be necessary for an individual to provide us with personal data for the conclusion of a contract that then have to be processed by our company. For example, an individual is mandated to provide us with personal data in order to conclude a contract with our company. Not providing the required personal data may result in conclusion of a contract not being possible. Prior to conclusion of a contract an individual has to contact a member of our staff who will then inform them on whether providing personal data is legally or contractually mandated, whether it is necessary for the conclusion of a contract and what possible consequences not providing the required personal data might have.
