Relevant legal bases

Below you will find an overview of the legal bases under the GDPR on which we process personal data. In addition to the provisions of the GDPR, national data protection provisions may apply in your or our country of residence or registered office.

Consent (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR)
The data subject has given their consent to the processing of personal data concerning them for one or more specific purposes.
Performance of a contract and pre‑contractual inquiries (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR)
Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract.
Legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR)
Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, provided that the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override those interests.

National regulations (BDSG)

In addition to the data protection regulations of the GDPR, national regulations apply in Germany, in particular the Federal Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz, BDSG). The BDSG contains specific provisions on the right of access, erasure, objection, the processing of special categories of data, and automated decision‑making including profiling.

Security measures

We take appropriate technical and organizational measures in accordance with the statutory requirements, taking into account the state of the art, implementation costs and the nature, scope and purposes of processing, in order to ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk.

These measures include, in particular, safeguarding the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data by controlling physical and electronic access to the data. We also take into account the protection of personal data in the development or selection of hardware, software and procedures in accordance with the principle of data protection by design and by default.

TLS/SSL encryption (HTTPS)

To protect users’ data from unauthorized access, we use TLS/SSL encryption technology. If a website is secured by an SSL/TLS certificate, this is indicated by the display of HTTPS in the URL.

Transfer of personal data

In the course of our processing of personal data, it may happen that such data is transferred to other entities, companies, legally independent organizational units or persons. Recipients may include, for example, service providers commissioned with IT tasks or providers of services integrated into a website. In such cases, we comply with the statutory requirements and conclude appropriate contracts that serve to protect your data.

Data storage and deletion

We delete personal data in accordance with the statutory provisions as soon as the underlying consents are revoked or there is no further legal basis for processing.

Exceptions apply where statutory obligations or specific interests require longer retention or archiving of the data. If several retention periods are indicated, the longest period is always decisive.

General retention periods (German law)

Period Applies to
10 years Books, records, annual financial statements, inventories, management reports, opening balance sheet (§ 147 AO, § 14b UStG, § 257 HGB)
8 years Accounting records such as invoices and cost receipts (§ 147 AO, § 257 HGB)
6 years Other business documents, received/sent commercial letters, tax‑relevant documents (§ 147 AO, § 257 HGB)
3 years Data for asserting warranty and damage claims (§§ 195, 199 BGB)

Start of the period: If a period does not explicitly begin on a specific date and is at least one year, it automatically starts at the end of the calendar year in which the event triggering the period occurred.
