7. Legal Basis of the Processing
Art. 6 I lit. a DS-GVO serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case for example, in the case of processing operations necessary for the delivery of goods or the the provision of any other service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b DS-GVO. The same applies to such processing operations which are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of Inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation through which the processing of personal data becomes becomes necessary, such as, for example, for the fulfillment of tax obligations, then the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c DS-GVO. In rare cases, the processing of personal data becomes necessary in order to protect vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f DS-GVO. Processing operations which are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary for the protection of a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject are not overridden. Such processing operations are permitted to us in particular because they were specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (recital 47 sentence 2 DS-GVO).
8. Legitimate Interests in the Processing Pursued by the Controller or by a a Third Party are Pursued
If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f DS-GVO, our legitimate interest is the performance of our business activities for the benefit of the Welfare of all our employees and our shareholders.
9. Duration for Which the Personal Data is Stored
The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of this period, the corresponding data will be routinely deleted, provided that they are no longer required for the fulfillment of the contract or the are no longer required.
10. Statutory or Contractual Provisions for the Provision of Personal Data; Necessity for Contractual Obligation of the Data Subject to provide the Personal Data; Possible Consequences of the Non-Provision
We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual regulations (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes, in order to conclude a contract, it may be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data to us, which must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with him or her. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before providing personal data by the data subject, the data subject must contact our data protection officer. Our data protection officer will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or by contract, or whether it is necessary for the conclusion of a contract, or whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data.
