Information on data protection<\/h2>\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>
\n\t

As a data processing company for us (see \"Who is responsible for data processing?\"), the protection of your personal data is very important to us. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with the applicable local data protection regulations (e.g. European General Data Protection Regulation [GDPR], German Federal Data Protection Act [BDSG], Austrian Data Protection Act 2018 [DSG 2018] and so on).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The General Data Protection Regulation stipulates that individuals who collect data must be informed about the respective processing context in order to ensure fair and transparent processing.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The following information provides you with an overview of how we process your personal data, informs you of your rights under data protection law and tells you who you can contact if you have any questions. Which data is processed in detail and how depends largely on the services you have requested or commissioned. Therefore, not all parts of this information will probably apply directly to you.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

On what legal basis do we process your data?<\/strong><\/p>\n

We process your personal data for the following purposes on the basis of the following legal bases.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

For the fulfilment of contractual obligations<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you are already our customer or if you provide us with your personal data as part of a business initiation (e.g. if you have expressed an interest in our services, e.g. at trade fairs), or if you wish to update this data, we will process this personal data for the fulfilment of the contractual relationship or for pre-contractual purposes at your request in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. This includes the use for the purpose of an in-depth examination of whether an order can be accepted at all and for the purpose of fulfilling mutual outstanding claims. The purposes of data processing are primarily based on your product interest and may also include needs analyses and general advice.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Please refer to the respective contract documents, terms and conditions and product information for the specific services. In the case of existing contracts, we may collect further personal data from you in individual cases. This may be the case, for example, if we advise you on a contract amendment or an extension of services, which may be useful in order to consider the entire customer relationship.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Compliance with legal requirements<\/strong><\/p>\n

We also process your personal data to fulfil numerous legal obligations, e.g. in connection with contract processing. These include, in particular, retention periods under commercial, trade or tax law, e.g. for offers, contracts or invoices. This also includes reporting obligations or possible regulatory and industry-specific requirements. Industry-specific requirements may also have been imposed on us by you as part of the business relationship. We process your personal data in the event of the fulfilment of a legal obligation to which we are subject pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. A legal obligation arises, for example, in particular from Section 147 of the German Fiscal Code [AO].<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Legitimate interest<\/strong><\/p>\n

We also process your data to protect the legitimate interests of us or third parties (e.g. cooperation partners), insofar as this is legally permissible (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR), if no corresponding consent has been given and no legal basis for the data processing is apparent and only if the requirements of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR are met. We are not only happy to send you personalised communications (e.g. invitations) to provide you with further information about us or our products and services, but also invite you to participate in customer surveys, for example, so that we can better understand your overall needs, deepen our relationship with you and design our products and services to meet your needs. We compile customer or market-specific statistics in order to optimise our range of services for you and thus support our company management. We also process your personal data in order to potentially assert our rights and enforce our legal claims in the event of a dispute. Finally, we process your personal data insofar as this is necessary to prevent or prosecute criminal offences, to ensure smooth IT operations, as part of building security measures (e.g. access control) and to safeguard domiciliary rights.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Consent<\/strong><\/p>\n

Insofar as you have given us your consent to process your data for specific purposes (e.g. receiving our newsletter), the lawfulness according to Newsletter Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR. Consent can of course be revoked at any time with effect for the future. Please note that if the processing has already begun, a revocation can only be made with a time delay and that in individual cases, especially in connection with information that is available on the Internet, a further revocation may be hardly or not at all possible.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What sources and data categories do we use?<\/strong><\/p>\n

In principle, we process personal data that we receive from you as part of our business relationship. In addition, insofar as this is necessary for the provision of our services, we process personal data that we have lawfully received (e.g. creditworthiness information in connection with the execution of orders) from companies in the\u202fScheer PAS\u202for other third parties (e.g. credit agencies). On the other hand, we may also process data that we have lawfully obtained and process from publicly accessible sources (e.g. commercial register, press).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

We may have collected information about the following categories of data:<\/p>\n
