The personal data concerning you is processed for the following purposes on the following legal basis:
In order to take pre-contractual steps or to perform the contractual relationship and administer it, on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. Without the provision of personal data, performance of the contract is not possible.
As a rule, we collect the data from the data subject. In addition, data may be collected via internet research, social networks, etc. Credit reports are obtained via Creditreform on the basis of our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
The data is stored for the duration of the respective contractual relationship. It is deleted after the end of the contractual relationship and/or after the expiry of statutory retention periods.
Direct marketing and objection
For advertising purposes, we inform customers and prospective customers (on the basis of our legitimate interest in direct marketing pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) about new developments and offers via various communication channels (e.g. e-mail, letter).
You have the right to object at any time to the processing of data for the purposes of direct marketing.
The data required for direct marketing is stored until an objection to direct marketing is made.
Recipients of personal data
We only pass on your data to third parties if this should become necessary to fulfil the purpose. We pass on your data, to the extent necessary, to manufacturers, suppliers, wholesalers and/or logistics providers who support us in handling and delivering your orders. In order to obtain credit reports, we pass on the data required for this purpose (e.g. company name and address) to Creditreform. Furthermore, data may be passed on to authorities on the basis of statutory provisions in accordance with Art. 6(1)(c) and (e) GDPR.
For the handling of our accounting, the preparation of balance sheets and other tax matters, data is passed on to our external tax adviser to the extent necessary for business purposes. In addition, in various cases we use processors pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR who receive data from us or may have access to your data in connection with their service. In this context, data may also be transferred outside the EU. In doing so, we ensure that either an EU adequacy decision pursuant to Art. 45 GDPR exists for the country of destination concerned, or we have concluded a contract with the service providers concerned on the basis of the standard data protection clauses pursuant to Art. 46(2)(c) GDPR.
