3. Purposes of processing and legal basis
Your personal data will be processed in accordance with the provisions of the General Data Privacy Regulation (GDPR), the Bundesdatenschutzgesetz BDSG [Federal Data Privacy Act] and other relevant data privacy regulations. The processing and use of individual data depends on the service agreed to or applied for.

3.2 Performance of contractual obligations (Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR)
We will process your personal data to execute our contracts with you, i.e. especially for initiating and processing of orders. Your personal data will furthermore be processed for purposes of implementation of measures and activities in the context of pre-contractual relationships.

We are also subject to various obligations of storage and documentation based, among other, on the Commercial Code (HGB) and the Revenue Code (AO). The deadlines for such storage and documentation are up to ten years beyond the end of the business relationship or of pre-contractual legal relationships.
Storage periods will also depend on statutory periods of limitation which will normally be three years, but up to thirty years in some cases, pursuant to §§ 195 et. seq. of the Civil Code (BGB).
8. To what extent will automated decision-making be applied in individual cases (including profiling)?
We are not using automated decision-making procedures as per Article 22 GDPR. We will specifically inform you should we resort to this in individual cases, provided this is required by law.

You have the right to information under Art. 15 GDPR, the right to correction under Art. 16 GDPR, the right to deletion under Art. 17 GDPR, the right to limit processing under Art. 18 GDPR and the right to data transferability under Art. 20 GDPR. You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory data privacy authority (Art. 77 GDPR). Article 21 GDPR also grants you the basic right to object to our processing of your personal data. This right to objection will, however, be prerequisite upon your special personal circumstances; our domestic authority may oppose your right of objection.

10. Extent of your obligations to provide us with your data
You only need to provide the information necessary to enter into a business or a pre-contractual relationship with us, or information we are required to collect by law. We will generally not be able to conclude or execute a contract with you unless we have this information. This may also apply to data required in a later phase of the business relationship. You will be separately informed of the voluntary nature of any additional information we may request.
11. Information about your right to object Art. 21 GDPR
You have the right at any time to object to the processing of your data as per Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (data processing based on weighing of interests) or Art. 6 (1) (e) GDPR (data processing in the public interest) should you have reasons related to your particular situation. This will also apply to profiling in terms of Art. 4 (4) GDPR, based on this provision.
We will cease processing your personal data should you lodge an objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate reasons for processing to overrule your interests, rights and freedoms or unless processing serves a purpose of enforcing, pursuing or defending legal claims.
We will also, if required, process your personal data for purposes of direct advertising. You have the right at any time to object to receiving advertising. This will also apply to profiling, to the extent related to such direct advertising. We shall respect this objection with effect into the future.
We will cease processing your data for direct marketing purposes if you object to this.
The objection may be made informally to the address given under Point 1.
