The legal bases for the processing of personal data are exceptional circumstances that allow the processing of personal data. The essential legal bases are shown in particular in Art. 6 GDPR. The legal bases according to which we process personal data are described in the individual processing operations in this data protection declaration.

Consent given (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR)
Consent is one of these legal bases and requires that the consenting person gives it in an informed manner and on a voluntary basis. Consent on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit a GDPR can be revoked at any time without giving reasons.

Contract-related data processing (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR)
The processing of personal data for the initiation or implementation of contracts is also a legal basis and is defined in Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR.

Legal obligation (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c GDPR)
The exception of data processing due to a legal obligation can be found in Article 6 Para. 1 lit. c GDPR, for example we are obliged to comply with certain retention periods under commercial and tax law.

You can revoke your consent to us at any time without giving reasons with effect for the future.

Right to deletion according to Art. 17 GDPR (restrictions according to § 35 BDSG possible)
You have the right at any time to request the deletion of your personal data that we are processing about you. If complete deletion is not possible, for example because we must meet statutory retention requirements or we can assert legitimate interests for other reasons, we will restrict your data until these reasons no longer apply.

Right to restriction of processing according to Art. 18 GDPR
You have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted. You can contact us at any time at the address given in the legal notice. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:

  • If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to check this. For the duration of the test, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.
  • If the processing of your personal data happened / happens unlawfully, you can request the restriction of the data processing instead of the deletion.
  • If we no longer need your personal data, but you need them to exercise, defend or assert legal claims, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted instead of being deleted.
  • If you have lodged an objection in accordance with Art. 21 Paragraph 1 GDPR, your interests and ours must be weighed up. If it is not yet clear whose interests prevail, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data - apart from their storage - may only be allowed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest processed by the European Union or a member state.
