Legal basis for processing personal data

If we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Article 6 Par. la of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis.

If we process personal data necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 Par. lb GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.

Insofar as processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 Par. lc GDPR serves as the legal basis.

In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person make processing of personal data necessary, Art. 6 Par. ld GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not override the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 Par. 1 f GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

Data deletion and storage period

Personal data of data subjects will be deleted or blocked by us as soon as the purpose of their storage ceases to apply.

If there are regulations imposed by the legislator to which we are subject, the data may be stored beyond this period. Data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by these regulations expires, unless the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract requires us to continue storing the data.
