1. International Data Transfers

Personal data is primarily processed within the EU/EEA. Transfers to so-called “third countries” only occur in compliance with the requirements of the GDPR and where suitable safeguards are in place. Before data is transferred to a service provider in a third country, the level of data protection is assessed. A transfer only takes place if sufficient protection mechanisms exist. All service providers must enter into a data processing agreement. For providers outside the EEA, additional measures are required. Pursuant to Articles 44 et seq. GDPR, a transfer is only permitted if at least one of the following requirements is met:

• The European Commission has determined that an adequate level of data protection exists.
• Standard Contractual Clauses have been concluded with the recipient.
• Other appropriate safeguards pursuant to Article 46 GDPR are in place.
• In certain exceptional cases as set out in Article 49 GDPR.

Legal basis:

• Performance of a contract and implementation of pre-contractual measures pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR, insofar as we are in a (pre-)contractual relationship with you/your employer.
• In addition, legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR in the efficient organisation of sales and business relationships, targeted B2B communication and the optimisation of our products and services. Where we process personal data for the purposes of direct marketing and related profiling activities (e.g. lead scoring to prioritise contacts), you may object to such processing at any time with effect for the future.

Storage period: For the duration of the business relationship and thereafter as long as there is a legitimate interest in further storage (e.g. follow-up of enquiries, maintenance of business relationships); subsequent deletion or anonymisation, provided that no statutory retention obligations apply. Contact details of prospects/leads with whom there has been no interaction for a longer period of time are regularly deleted or further processed only in anonymised form for statistical purposes.

1. Recipients

Personal data collected by us will only be disclosed if:

• you have given us your explicit consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) GDPR;
• the disclosure is necessary to safeguard our legitimate interests or for the establishment, exercise, or defence of legal claims, and there is no reason to assume that your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms which require the protection of personal data override those interests (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR);
• we are legally obliged to disclose the data (Article 6(1)(c) GDPR); or
• such disclosure is lawful and necessary for the performance of a contract with you or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures at your request (Article 6(1)(b) GDPR).

Possible recipients include:

• Public authorities: Government agencies and public institutions (e.g., tax authorities, public prosecutors, courts) to whom we are required to transfer personal data, for example to comply with legal obligations or to protect legitimate interests.

1. Data Security and Safeguards 

We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure the security and confidentiality of your personal data. These measures are designed to protect against unauthorized access, manipulation, loss, or misuse. Our security measures are regularly reviewed and adapted to reflect technological advancements and current industry standards.

Please note that despite extensive protective measures, data transmission over the internet may involve security vulnerabilities. In particular, unencrypted communication (e.g., standard email) carries the risk that data may be accessed by third parties. We have no influence over the actions of external parties. We therefore recommend that you use encryption or other protective measures when transmitting sensitive information electronically to minimize potential risks.

1. 10.Retention and Erasure/Blocking of Data 

Personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage no longer applies. Further storage will only take place if required by European Union or national legal provisions to which the controller is subject. Data will also be deleted or blocked once a statutory retention period expires, unless continued storage is necessary for the performance of a contractual relationship.

Right to object (Article 21 GDPR): You may object at any time to the processing of your personal data for reasons relating to your particular situation, especially in the context of direct marketing or any related profiling.

Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (Article 77 GDPR):  You have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of your personal data infringes data protection regulations.
