We are very pleased that you are interested in our company. Data protection is of particular importance to the management of FR Media GmbH. The use of FR Media GmbH's websites is generally possible without providing any personal data. However, if a person wishes to use special services from our company via our website, it may be necessary to process personal data. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the affected person's consent.
Processing personal data, such as the name, address, email address, or telephone number of a data subject, shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to FR Media GmbH. By means of this privacy policy, our company would like to inform the public about the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use, and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights by means of this privacy policy.
FR Media GmbH, as the controller, has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us via alternative means, for example, by telephone.
FR Media GmbH's privacy policy is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy should be easy to read and understand for the general public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terminology used in advance.
We use the following terms, among others, in this privacy policy:
a) Personal data: Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person ("data subject"). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person.
b) Data subject: A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller.
c) Processing: Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or another form of provision, alignment or combination, restriction, deletion, or destruction.
d) Restriction of processing: Restriction of processing means marking stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future.
e) Profiling: Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or movements.
f) Pseudonymization: Pseudonymization is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
g) Controller or controller responsible for the processing: The controller or controller responsible for the processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of processing personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.
h) Processor: A processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
i) Recipient: A recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or another body to which the personal data is disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients.
j) Third party: A third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or body other than the data subject, controller, processor, and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.
k) Consent: Consent is any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which they, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to them.
The controller for the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), other data protection laws applicable in Member States of the European Union, and other provisions related to data protection is:

FR Media GmbH's websites use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an Internet browser.
Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a cookie's unique identifier. It consists of a character string through which websites and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows the visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.
By using cookies, FR Media GmbH can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the use of cookies.
By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized with the user in mind. Cookies allow us, as already mentioned, to recognize our website users. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to enter their access data each time they visit the website, because this is taken over by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The online shop remembers the articles that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.
FR Media GmbH's website collect a series of general data and information with each website visit by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The following information can be stored: (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrer), (4) the sub-websites that are accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an Internet Protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information that serve to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using this general data and information, FR Media GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website as well as the advertising for it, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in the event of a cyberattack. These anonymously collected data and information are therefore evaluated by FR Media GmbH statistically, on the one hand, and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company, on the other hand, in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
The data subject has the opportunity to register on the website of the controller, providing personal data. Which personal data is transmitted to the controller is determined by the respective input mask used for registration. The personal data entered by the data subject is collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller and for its own purposes. The controller may arrange for the transfer to one or more processors, for example, a shipping agency, who also uses the personal data exclusively for an internal use attributable to the controller.
By registering on the controller's website, the IP address assigned by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) of the data subject, the date, and the time of registration are also stored. This data is stored because this is the only way to prevent the misuse of our services and, if necessary, to enable the investigation of committed offenses. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary to protect the controller. This data is generally not passed on to third parties, unless there is a legal obligation to pass it on or the transfer serves criminal prosecution.
The registration of the data subject, with the voluntary provision of personal data, enables the controller to offer the data subject content or services that, due to their nature, can only be offered to registered users. Registered persons are free to change the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have it completely deleted from the controller's database.
The controller shall, at any time upon request, provide any data subject with information about what personal data is stored about the data subject. In addition, the controller shall correct or delete personal data at the request or indication of the data subject, provided that this does not conflict with any statutory storage obligations. All of the controller's employees are available to the data subject as contact persons in this regard.
On the website of FR Media GmbH, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company's newsletter. The personal data transmitted to the controller when signing up to the newsletter is determined by the input mask used for this purpose.
FR Media GmbH informs its customers and business partners about the company's offers at regular intervals by means of a newsletter. The company's newsletter can generally only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid email address and (2) the data subject registers to receive the newsletter. For legal reasons, a confirmation email is sent to the email address first entered by a data subject for the purpose of receiving the newsletter using the double-opt-in procedure. This confirmation email serves to verify whether the owner of the email address as the data subject has authorized the receipt of the newsletter.
When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address of the computer system used by the data subject at the time of registration, as assigned by the Internet Service Provider (ISP), as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to trace any (possible) misuse of a data subject's email address at a later date and therefore serves to provide legal protection for the controller.
The personal data collected as part of a registration for the newsletter will be used exclusively to send our newsletter. Furthermore, newsletter subscribers may be informed by email if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a related registration, as may be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or changes in technical circumstances. The personal data collected as part of the newsletter service will not be passed on to third parties. The data subject can unsubscribe from our newsletter at any time. Consent to the storage of personal data which the data subject has given us for the purpose of sending the newsletter can be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revoking consent, a corresponding link is provided in each newsletter. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter dispatch at any time directly on the controller's website or to communicate this to the controller in another way.
FR Media GmbH's newsletters contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in emails sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and log file analysis. This enables a statistical analysis of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Using on the embedded tracking pixel, FR Media GmbH can see if and when an email has been opened by a data subject, and which links in the email have been clicked on by the data subject.
Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and analyzed by the controller in order to optimize the newsletter dispatch and to adapt the content of future newsletters even better to the interests of the data subject. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties. Data subjects are entitled at any time to revoke the separate declaration of consent given for this purpose via the double-opt-in procedure. After revocation, this personal data will be deleted by the controller. FR Media GmbH automatically interprets unsubscribing from the newsletter as revocation.
Due to legal requirements, FR Media GmbH's website contains information that enables quick electronic contact with our company, as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address for so-called electronic mail (email address). If a data subject contacts the controller by email or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject is automatically stored. Such personal data voluntarily provided by a data subject to the controller is stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. This personal data is not passed on to third parties.
Comments posted on FR Media GmbH's blog can generally be subscribed to by third parties. In particular, commenters have the option of subscribing to the comments reacting to their own comment on a specific blog post.
If a data subject decides to subscribe to comments, the controller will send an automatic confirmation email to verify, using a double-opt-in procedure, whether the owner of the specified email address has indeed chosen this option. The option to subscribe to comments can be revoked at any time.
The controller shall process and store the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as far as this is granted by the European legislator or other legislators in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.
If the storage purpose no longer applies, or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with legal regulations.
a) Right to confirmation: Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data concerning them is being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to confirmation, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.
b) Right of access: Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain information from the controller at any time, free of charge, about the personal data stored about them and a copy of this information. Furthermore, the European legislator grants the data subject access to the following information:
the purposes of the processing;
the categories of personal data concerned;
the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third party countries or international organizations;
where possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that period;
the existence of the right to request rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing of personal data concerning the data subject from the controller, or to object to such processing;
the existence of the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority;
if the personal data are not collected from the data subject: any available information as to their source;
the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in Article 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject.
Furthermore, the data subject shall have a right to obtain information as to whether personal data have been transferred to a third party country or to an international organization. If this is the case, the data subject shall have the right to be informed of the appropriate safeguards relating to the transfer.
If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of access, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.
c) Right to rectification: Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to request the immediate rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning them. Taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject shall have the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of a supplementary statement.
If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of access, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.
d) Right to erasure (Right to be forgotten): Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to request that the controller erase personal data concerning them without undue delay, provided one of the following reasons applies and insofar as the processing is not necessary:
The personal data is no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
The data subject withdraws consent on which the processing was based according to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR, or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR, and where there is no other legal basis for the processing.
The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) GDPR.
The personal data has been processed unlawfully.
The deletion of personal data is necessary to comply with a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject.
The personal data has been collected in relation to the offer of information society services referred to in Article 8(1) GDPR.
If one of the aforementioned reasons applies and a data subject wishes to request the deletion of personal data stored by FR Media GmbH, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time. The employee of FR Media GmbH shall promptly ensure that the deletion request is complied with immediately.
Where the controller (FR Media GmbH) has made personal data public and is obliged pursuant to Article 17(1) of the GDPR to delete the personal data, the controller, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the personal data that the data subject has requested the deletion by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data, as far as processing is not required. The employee of FR Media GmbH will take the necessary steps in individual cases.
e) Right to restriction of processing: Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to request the controller to restrict processing if one of the following conditions is met:
The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
The processing is unlawful, and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of use of the personal data instead.
The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but it is required by the data subject to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims.
The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR and it is not yet clear whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.
If one of the aforementioned conditions is met and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of the processing of personal data stored by FR Media GmbH, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time. The employee of FR Media GmbH will arrange the restriction of the processing.
f) Right to data portability: Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to receive the personal data concerning them, which was provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. They shall also have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, as long as the processing is based on consent pursuant to of Article 6(1)(a) GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) GDPR, or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
Furthermore, in exercising their right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) GDPR, the data subject shall have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.
To assert the right to data portability, the data subject may contact an employee of FR Media GmbH at any time.
g) Right to object: Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to object at any time, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning them, which is based on Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
FR Media GmbH shall no longer process the personal data in the event of the objection, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
If FR Media GmbH processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data for such marketing purposes. This applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to FR Media GmbH processing their data for direct marketing purposes, FR Media GmbH will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.
In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to object to the processing of personal data concerning them carried out by FR Media GmbH for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.
To exercise the right to object, the data subject may directly contact any employee of FR Media GmbH. The data subject is also free to exercise their right to object in relation to the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, by automated means using technical specifications.
h) Rights in relation to automated decision-making and profiling: Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affects them, provided that the decision (1) is not necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and a data controller, or (2) is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also provides suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is based on the data subject's explicit consent.
If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into or performing a contract between the data subject and the controller or (2) it is based on the data subject's explicit consent, FR Media GmbH shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express their point of view and to contest the decision.
If the data subject wishes to exercise their rights concerning automated decision-making, they contact an employee of the controller at any time.
i) Right to withdraw data protection consent: Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to withdraw their consent to the processing of personal data at any time.
If the data subject wishes to exercise the right to withdraw consent, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.
The controller collects and processes applicants' personal data for the purpose of handling the application process. Processing may also take place electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits the relevant application documents electronically, for example, by email or via a web form on the website, to the controller. If the controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the submitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with legal requirements. If the controller does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the controller prevent such deletion. Other legitimate interests in this sense include, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).
The controller has integrated components of Facebook on this website. Facebook is a social network.
A social network is an online platform that typically allows users to communicate with each other and interact in a virtual environment. A social network may serve as a platform for sharing opinions and experiences or allow online communities to provide personal or business-related information. Facebook enables users to create private profiles, upload photos, and connect via friend requests.
The operating company of Facebook is Meta Platforms, Inc., 1 Meta Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. If a data subject lives outside the United States or Canada, the controller for personal data processing is Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, Merrion Road, Dublin 4, D04 X2K5, Ireland.
Each time a page of this website containing a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) is accessed, the internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Facebook component to download a representation of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. An overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be accessed at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=en_US. During this technical process, Facebook gains knowledge of which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is logged into Facebook at the same time, Facebook recognizes on each visit to our website which specific subpage is being visited. This information is collected by the Facebook component and assigned to the data subject's Facebook account. If the data subject clicks a Facebook button on our website (e.g., the "Like" button) or leaves a comment, Facebook assigns this information to the personal Facebook account of the data subject and stores this personal data.
Facebook receives information via the Facebook component whenever the data subject visits our website while logged into Facebook, regardless of whether the data subject interacts with the component. If the data subject does not want such data transmission to Facebook, they may prevent it by logging out of their Facebook account prior to accessing our website.
Facebook’s data policy, available at https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy/, provides information on Facebook’s collection, processing, and use of personal data. There are also applications available that allow users to block data transmission to Facebook.
The controller has integrated Amazon components as part of the Amazon Affiliate Program. These components were designed to refer customers to Amazon websites and enable the controller to earn advertising revenue. Amazon’s operating company is Amazon EU S.à.r.l, 38 avenue John F. Kennedy, L-1855 Luxemburg, Luxembourg.
Amazon places a cookie on the user’s system. Each time a page containing an Amazon component is accessed, the browser automatically transmits data to Amazon to enable advertising and commission accounting. Amazon may track that the data subject clicked an affiliate link on this website.
Users may block cookies via browser settings and delete previously set cookies at any time. More information and Amazon's data policy can be found at https://www.amazon.de/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=3312401.
This website uses Google Analytics with the anonymization function. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. The controller uses the “_gat._anonymizeIp” extension, which shortens the IP address of users within the EU or EEA, ensuring anonymization.
Google uses cookies to analyze website usage. Data including IP address, access time, location, and browsing frequency is transmitted to Google in the USA and may be shared with third parties. Users may block cookies via browser settings and delete cookies at any time.
Users can prevent data collection by installing the browser add-on at https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

This website uses PayPal components. PayPal is an online payment service and allows both account-based and credit card payments. PayPal may process and store personal data and may transfer data to credit agencies for identity and credit checks.
The European operating company of PayPal is PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. & Cie. S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, 2449 Luxembourg, Luxembourg.
If the data subject selects “PayPal” as the payment option during the ordering process in our online shop, data of the data subject is automatically transmitted to PayPal. By selecting this payment option, the data subject consents to the transmission of the personal data required for payment processing.
The personal data transmitted to PayPal usually consists of first name, last name, address, email address, IP address, telephone number, mobile phone number, or other data necessary for payment processing. Personal data related to the respective order is also required to fulfill the purchase agreement.
The transmission of the data aims to process the payment and prevent fraud. The controller will transmit personal data to PayPal particularly when there is a legitimate interest for transmission. Personal data exchanged between PayPal and the controller may be transmitted by PayPal to credit agencies. This transmission aims at identity and credit checks.
PayPal may disclose personal data to affiliated companies and service providers or subcontractors, insofar as this is necessary to fulfill contractual obligations or if the data is to be processed on behalf of PayPal.
The data subject has the right to withdraw consent for the handling of personal data from PayPal at any time. Such withdrawal does not affect personal data that must be processed, used, or transmitted for (contractual) payment processing.
The applicable data protection provisions of PayPal may be accessed at https://www.paypal.com/us/legalhub/paypal/privacy-full.
Legal basis for processing
Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for our company for processing operations where we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. The same applies to processing operations necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, such as inquiries regarding our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation requiring the processing of personal data, such as for fulfilling tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. In rare cases, processing of personal data may be necessary to protect vital interests of the data subject or another natural person—for example, if a visitor is injured in our company and their name, age, health insurance data, or other vital information must be passed to a doctor, hospital, or third party. In this case, processing would be based on Art. 6(1)(d) GDPR.
Finally, processing operations may be based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. This legal basis applies to processing operations that are not covered by any of the above legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject do not override such interests. Such processing operations are permitted particularly because they were specifically acknowledged by the European legislator. The legislator considered that a legitimate interest may be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47, Sentence 2 GDPR).
Legitimate interests pursued by the controller or a third party
If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is the performance of our business activities for the welfare of all our employees and shareholders.
Duration for which personal data is stored
The criterion for determining the duration of personal data storage is the respective statutory retention period. After the period expires, the respective data is routinely deleted if it is no longer required for fulfilling a contract or initiating a contract.
Legal or contractual requirements to provide personal data; necessity for contract conclusion; obligation of the data subject to provide personal data; possible consequences of failure to provide such data
We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or may also result from contractual provisions (e.g., details about the contract partner). Sometimes, providing personal data is necessary for entering into a contract. The data subject is required to provide us with personal data if our company enters into a contract with them. Failure to provide personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before providing personal data, the data subject must contact one of our employees. The employee will inform the data subject, on a case-by-case basis, whether the provision of the personal data is legally or contractually required or necessary for contract conclusion, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what the consequences of failing to provide the personal data would be.
Existence of automated decision-making
As a responsible company, we do not use automated decision-making or profiling.
