  • Customers and suppliers

The person responsible processes the personal data for the purpose of managing the contractual relationship or ongoing cooperation, for example managing contact persons, for communication, maintaining contacts and processing or for information and advertising. In this regard, the processing is based on Article 6 Para. 1 p. 1 lit. f) GDPR. The interest of the person responsible consists in the administration and processing of the joint contractual relationship, for customer care, information service and advertising.

If there is a direct contract with the party whose data is being processed, then the processing of the data described above in relation to the management of the contractual relationship – with the exception of advertising – will be based on Article 6 Para. 1 p. 1 lit. b) GDPR.

In principle, the provision of your information is not required by law, but we need this information in part to fulfill the contract. Without the personal data, the cooperation can only be guaranteed to a very limited extent.

However, it may happen that we are legally obliged to process your personal data, for example to comply with retention periods (Article 6 Para. 1 p. 1 lit. c) GDPR).

In individual cases, processing can also take place on the basis of your consent in accordance with Article 6 Paragraph 1 lit. a), but in this case we will expressly point this out and ask for your consent.
