2. TYPES OF PERSONAL DATA

Personal data refers to any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person. The personal data we collect include names, postal addresses, email addresses, telephone and fax numbers, company names, bank details, and business relationships of our customers and business partners.

3. COLLECTION OF PERSONAL DATA

We collect personal data that is voluntarily provided to us, for example, during communication via email or other channels, during subscription or unsubscription to newsletters or other materials, and during registration and participation in events and activities.

4. PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA

We use the personal data we collect for communication purposes, including not only the conduct of our business activities but also marketing activities, such as sending newsletters and other information about our company, invitations to events, and other activities. We also process personal data to comply with our legal or regulatory obligations, including documentation and compliance with legal requirements. If consent has been given for the processing of personal data for specific purposes (e.g., when subscribing to newsletters), we process the personal data within the framework and based on this consent. We do not disclose the personal data we collect to third parties.

5. PURPOSE OF DATA PROCESSING

The processing of personal data is carried out for the purposes outlined above. We rely on our legitimate interests in maintaining our business relationships and communicating with potential customers. These interests are in line with applicable data protection laws.

6. DURATION OF STORAGE

Unless an explicit retention period is stated during collection or in this privacy policy, we process and store personal data until it is no longer necessary to fulfill the processing purpose, unless legal retention obligations (e.g., commercial and tax retention obligations) prevent deletion. It is possible that personal data may also be retained for the period during which claims can be asserted and as far as we are otherwise legally obliged to do so or legitimate business interests require it (e.g., for evidentiary and documentation purposes).

7. DATA SECURITY

We protect personal data through appropriate security measures against loss, misuse, unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration, or destruction. To this end, we use suitable technical and organizational measures. However, we cannot guarantee the absolute security of the data.

8. RIGHTS OF THE DATA SUBJECT

An affected person has the right to information, correction, deletion, or restriction of the processing of personal data, the right to object to the processing, and the right to data portability. Consent given for certain data processing can be revoked at any time, but this does not affect data processing that has already taken place. In addition, data subjects have the right to assert their claims in court or to lodge a complaint with the competent data protection authority.
