Which sources are used to collect personal data?
We process personal data that we receive directly from our customers as part of our business relationship. We also process personal data that we have received from other companies, e.g. to execute orders, to fulfill contracts or on the basis of your consent.
We also process personal data that we have legitimately obtained from publicly accessible sources (e.g. commercial and association registers, press, media, internet) and are permitted to process.
Personal data relevant to us may include
Customer contact information
As part of the business initiation phase and during the business relationship, in particular through personal, telephone or written contacts initiated by you or by one of our employees, further personal data is generated, e.g. information about the contact channel, date, occasion and result; (electronic) copies of correspondence and information about participation in direct marketing measures.
Credit information
Business creditworthiness documents: income/surplus statements, balance sheets, business analysis, type and duration of self-employment.
What is your data processed for (purposes) and on what legal basis?
We process the aforementioned personal data in accordance with the provisions of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the German Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG-neu):
When processing personal data for which we obtain the consent of the data subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a of the General Data Protection Regulation serves as the legal basis.
When processing personal data that is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This provision also includes processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures.
Insofar as the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1, sentence 1 c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing. The legitimate interest of our company lies in the performance of our business activities.
We process your data for the following purposes:
- To send you the newsletter - if you have registered on our website
- To contact you by email, in writing or by telephone about offers, events or training courses that may be of interest to you, to establish or maintain a business relationship

Disclosure of data to third parties
Within our company, only those persons and bodies receive your personal data that need it to fulfill our contractual and legal obligations.
We transfer data to third parties if we need it to fulfill a contractual obligation.
Data will not be transferred to third parties for purposes other than those listed under point 3.
We also transfer data to third parties if there is a legal obligation to do so. This is the case if state institutions (e.g. authorities and offices) request information in writing, a court order exists or a legal basis permits the transfer.
If we make advance payments, e.g. when purchasing on account, we reserve the right to obtain identity and creditworthiness information from specialized service providers (credit agencies) in order to protect our legitimate interests.
Transfer of data to third countries
Personal data is not transferred to so-called third countries outside the EU/EEA.
Duration of data storage/deletion periods
We process and store your personal data for as long as is necessary for the fulfillment of our contractual obligations and for all other purposes mentioned under point 3 or as provided for by the retention periods stipulated by law.
Data protection rights of the data subject
If you have any questions about your personal data, you can contact us in writing at any time.
You have the following rights under the GDPR:
The right to information (subsection Art. 15 GDPR)
You have the right to obtain information at any time about which categories and information about your personal data are processed by us, for what purpose, and how long and according to what criteria these data are stored and whether automated decision-making, including profiling, is used in this context. You also have the right to know which recipients or categories of recipients your data has been disclosed to or will be disclosed to, in particular in the case of recipients in third countries or international organizations. In this case, you also have the right to be informed about suitable guarantees in connection with the transfer of your personal data.
In addition to the right to lodge a complaint with the supervisory authority and the right to information about the origin of your data, you have the right to erasure, rectification and the right to restrict or object to the processing of your personal data.
In all of the above cases, you have the right to request a free copy of your personal data processed by us from the data processor. For all further copies that you request or that go beyond the data subject's right to information, we are entitled to charge a reasonable administrative fee.
The right to rectification (Art. 16 GDPR)
You have the right to request the immediate rectification of your inaccurate personal data and, taking into account the purposes of the processing, to request the completion of incomplete personal data, including by means of a supplementary statement.
If you wish to exercise the right to rectification, you can contact our data protection officer or the controller at any time.
The right to erasure (Art. 17 GDPR)
You have the right to request the erasure of your data without undue delay ("right to be forgotten"), in particular if the storage of the data is no longer necessary, you withdraw your consent to data processing, your data has been processed unlawfully or collected unlawfully and there is a legal obligation to erase under EU or national law.
However, the right to be forgotten does not apply if there is an overriding right to freedom of expression or freedom of information, the data storage is necessary for the fulfillment of a legal obligation (e.g. retention obligations), archiving purposes preclude the deletion or the storage serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
The right to restriction (Art. 18 GDPR)
You have the right to obtain from the controller restriction of processing of your data if the accuracy of the data is contested by you, the processing is unlawful, you oppose the erasure of your personal data and request the restriction of their processing instead, if the necessity for the processing purpose no longer applies or you have objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) pending the verification whether our legitimate grounds override yours.
The right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR)
You have the right to the portability of your personal data, which you have provided to our company in a commonly used format, so that you can have your personal data transmitted to another controller without hindrance, provided that, for example, you have given your consent and the processing is carried out by automated means.
The right to object (Art. 21 GDPR)
You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time, unless there are legitimate grounds for doing so. There are legitimate grounds for data processing, for example, if the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject prevail or the processing serves to assert, defend and exercise legal claims. In addition, you can also express a separate, explicit right to object to the processing of your personal data for the purpose of direct marketing at any time.
Right to lodge a complaint with the data protection supervisory authority (Art. 77 GDPR in conjunction with Section 19 BDSG)
You have the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority if you believe that there has been a breach in the processing of your personal data.
Right to withdraw consent under data protection law (Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR)
You can withdraw your consent to the processing of your personal data at any time and without giving reasons. This also applies to the revocation of declarations of consent given to us before the EU General Data Protection Regulation came into force.
Legal or contractual provisions on the provision of personal data and possible consequences of non-provision
We would like to point out that the provision of personal data is required by law in certain cases (e.g. tax regulations) or may result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). For example, in order to conclude a contract, it may be necessary for the data subject/contractual partner to provide their personal data so that we can process their request (e.g. order) in the first place. An obligation to provide personal data arises above all when concluding a contract. If no personal data is provided in this case, the contract cannot be concluded with the data subject. Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject can contact our data protection officer or the data controller. The data protection officer or the controller will then clarify to the data subject whether the provision of the required personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract and whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data arising from the data subject's concerns or what the consequences are for the data subject if the requested data is not provided.
Legal existence of automated decision-making (including profiling)
As a responsible company, we do not use automated decision-making or profiling in our business relationships.
