We process your data in accordance with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Federal Data Protection Act 2018, as amended:

  • to fulfil (pre-)contractual obligations (Art. 6 para. 1 lit.b GDPR):
    Your data is processed in order to process contracts online or in one of our branches in order to process the contracts for your workforce in our company. The data is processed in particular to initiate business transactions and to implement the contracts concluded with you.
  • to fulfil legal obligations (Art. 6 para. 1 lit.c GDPR):
    The processing of your data is necessary for the purpose of fulfilling various legal obligations, e.g. those that arise from the German Commercial Code or the German Tax Code.
  •  to safeguard legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit.f GDPR):
    With a view to balancing interests, data processing which goes beyond the actual fulfilment of the contract can be carried out in order to safeguard our legitimate interests or those of third parties. Data processing to safeguard legitimate interests is carried out, for example, in the following cases:
  •  Advertising or marketing (see no. 4),
  • Measures to manage business and further develop services and products;
  • To operate a group-wide customer database to improve customer service
  • As part of legal proceedings
  • Sending of information and press releases that do not boost sales.

You can object to the use of your personal data for advertising purposes at any time altogether or for individual measures, without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs that apply in accordance with the basic rates.

We are entitled to use the e-mail address you provided at the time the contract was concluded for direct marketing for our own goods or services of a similar nature under the legal preconditions of Section 7 (3) of the Unfair Competition Act (UWG). You will receive these product recommendations from us regardless of whether you have subscribed to a newsletter.

If you do not wish to receive such recommendations by e-mail from us, you may object to the use of your address for this purpose at any time without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs that apply in accordance with the basic rates. A written communication is sufficient for this purpose. Of course, every e-mail always includes an unsubscribe link.

If we use a service provider with a view to processing an order, we nevertheless remain responsible for the protection of your data. All order processors are contractually obliged to treat your data confidentially and to process it solely within the framework of the service provision. The order processors commissioned by us will receive your data if they need the data to perform their respective service. These include, for example, IT service providers, who we need to operate and maintain the security of our IT system, as well as advertising and address publishers for our own promotions..

Your data is processed in our customer database. The customer database helps to increase the data quality of existing customer data (duplicate clean-ups, moved to new address/deceased identifier, correction of addresses), and allows enrichment with data from public sources.

This data will be made available to the Group companies provided this is necessary for the execution of the contract. Customer data is stored on a company-specific basis and separately, whereby our parent company acts as a service provider for the individual participating companies.

Authorities and courts as well as external auditors may be recipients of your data if there is a pertinent legal obligation in place in this regard or if this is necessary within the framework of legal proceedings.

In addition, for the purpose of initiating and fulfilling the contract, insurance companies, banks, credit agencies and service providers may be recipients of your data.

You can ask us to restrict the processing of your data if:

  • the processing of the data is unlawful, but you refuse to have it deleted, and instead request a restriction of its use,gen,
