B. General remarks on personal data processing

1. Legal basis for processing

  • Insofar as we require the consent of the person concerned of the data processing, Art. 6 (1) a) GDPR serves as the legal basis
  • Art. 6 (1) b) GDPR serves as a legal basis for the processing of personal data required for the fulfilment of a contract for which the person concerned is the contracting party. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.
  • As far as a processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfilment of a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 (1) c) GDPR serves as legal basis.
  • If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interest, fundamental rights and fundamental freedoms of the person concerned do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 (1) f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

2. Storage period and deletion of data

The personal data of the data subject shall be deleted as soon as the purpose and/or legal basis of the storage no longer apply.

  • The data may be processed within the group for administrative purposes.

Personal data will only be transferred to countries outside the EU-EEA if:

  • an adequacy decision in accordance with Art. 45 GDPR is available for this third country, or
