4. Individual processing purposes and legal bases

"In the following, we inform you about the purposes for which we process which personal data. In cases of non-repetitive circumstances, we usually point out this information to you again in the specific processing situation and provide additional information as necessary."

4.1. Processing of data for the preparation, conclusion, and execution of contracts

We process personal data as part of the acquisition- (see also under 4.9.) and sales processes as well as for the execution of contracts. Data is processed in particular for contract initiation, offer processing, customer consulting, procurement, production and delivery of goods, contract management, and complaint handling.

As part of these activities, the following data categories will be processed in particular:

• Contact details / Personal master data (Name, First name, Address, Email address, etc.)

• Logistics data such as delivery addresses

• Contract data, payment data

"In this context, it may be necessary for us to pass on the data to third parties involved in the supply chain or otherwise required for the execution of the contract for the creation of an offer and the processing of the contract."

"For the purpose of credit checks on our business partners, we process data that we receive from credit agencies (for example, from Schufa) under the legal requirements. Furthermore, we reserve the right to report payment experiences with customers to a payment experience pool of a scoring company (Creditreform, Bisnode) in order to further minimize the risk of default. Payment experiences with natural persons are excluded from this."

"To optimize financial transactions, we reserve the right to assign claims against our business customers to a refinancing company as part of a receivables financing. Only company-related data (name of the debtor, reason, amount, due date of the claim) will be shared for the purpose of receivables financing. As far as necessary for the examination of the claim, the refinancing company will pass on the mentioned company data to third parties for credit assessment."

"The legal basis for receivables financing/factoring is, insofar as personal data is affected in exceptional individual cases, Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR."

As far as data collection is carried out directly for the processing of a request or the execution of a contract, we will inform you which data is mandatory. If your employer or another third party contractually connected to you or your employer is the contracting party, the processing of the data is based on Art. 6 I f GDPR. The data will be processed as far as it is necessary for the execution of the contract or for the fulfillment of other legal obligations, e.g. product liability obligations and duties (e.g. information, clarification, and warning duties).

"As far as the processing is based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, you can object to it at any time for reasons arising from your particular situation."

If you agree to the cookie pre-pages of our website, our website uses the functions of Google Ads Remarketing, thereby advertising this website in Google search results as well as on third-party websites. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland ("Google"). For this purpose, Google sets a cookie in the browser of your device, which automatically enables interest-based advertising using a pseudonymous cookie ID and based on the pages you have visited. Any further data processing only takes place if you have consented to Google linking your internet and app browsing history with your Google account and using information from your Google account to personalize ads that you view on the web.

7.5. Use of Google reCaptcha

"We use the reCAPTCHA service from Google in our contact forms, which you can use to submit service and information requests to us."
The query serves the purpose of detecting a hostile attack on our websites by distinguishing human inputs from automated, machine inputs. The use of this application is necessary for the provision of the service we offer through our contact forms and is therefore based on Art. 6 I b GDPR. It is necessary for the provision of the service, as otherwise the website would not be sufficiently protected against automated espionage, abuse, and SPAM. The use is therefore also in the interest of the service recipients. For this purpose, your input is transmitted to Google and further processed there. The IP address and, if applicable, other data used by Google for the service will be transmitted to Google.

"You can only use our contact forms if you agree that Google reCaptcha is used to protect the site."
In exceptional cases, the processing of your data may also take place in countries outside the European Union (in so-called third countries) that do not have an adequate level of data protection. In order to ensure an adequate level of data protection when transferring personal data in this case as well, we take additional measures in accordance with Art. 44 et seq. of the GDPR and thus ensure that the transfer is generally permissible (e.g. by concluding EU standard contracts).
"As long as the effectiveness of the standard contractual clauses is not conclusively clarified, we base the data transfer alternatively on Art. 49 GDPR, in particular your explicit consent or on the necessity for the risk-free provision of contact forms."
The USA is regarded by the EU as a country without an adequate level of data protection, particularly as there is a risk that your data may be processed by US authorities, possibly without sufficient legal remedies for control purposes.

For more information about Google reCaptcha and the privacy policy, please visit https://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/v3.html or https://www.google.com/privacy.

The responsible party for this data processing is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.

"The following data is transmitted to the responsible parties for the independent provision of a service, the defense against hostile attacks: your web request, the IP address, the browser type, the browser language, the date and time of your request, one or more cookies that may identify your browser."

"If you do not agree to the use of Google reCaptcha, you may not fill out the contact forms in which Google reCaptcha is used!" 

"As far as you would like to use our services without the use of Google reCaptcha, you are welcome to write us an email or a letter at any time, and we will take care of your request in another way."

The settings you make can also be changed by you afterwards. The purpose of integrating consentmanager is to leave the decision regarding the aforementioned matters to the users of our website and to provide the opportunity to change previously made settings during the further use of our website.

"The operator of the respective platform is solely responsible for the processing of personal data on social media platforms. This operator typically processes your personal data generated when visiting a social media platform, regardless of whether you have a user account there and/or are logged in. If you consent, cookies and other storage and tracking technologies (partially cross-device) will be used."

Social media platforms typically create their own personalized usage statistics, e.g., for market research, advertising, and other commercial purposes. Personal data may also be processed outside the European Union. We do not have access to this data and cannot influence the collection of this data.

"To support our social media activities, we use the platform Later, through which our posts are created and distributed, as well as user feedback comments are managed and edited. For more information on Later's data protection, please visit" https://later.com/privacy/.

8.2. Contact Person

"For any questions regarding data protection, our data protection officer (contact details see below) is at your disposal."

We would like to point out that, according to the agreements we have with the operators of the social media platforms, inquiries for information and rights of the affected parties should be asserted directly with the respective operator of the social network. Only the provider of the social network has direct access to the necessary information and can also take necessary measures and provide information. If our support is still needed, you can contact us at any time.

8.3. Processing of Personal Data

Data categories

• When you visit a company page, we, as the operator of the respective page, process the data that you provide to us through your direct actions and interactions (e.g., in inquiries, posts, comments, likes, shares) as well as your publicly accessible profile data. The public visibility of your personal profile data depends on your profile settings, which you can adjust on the respective social media platform. It is strongly recommended not to share any sensitive data or confidential information when using all social media channels.

• The social media platforms provide us with anonymous usage statistics (analytics services or page insights data) for our company pages, which are based on the behavior of visitors. We receive associated demographic and geographic evaluations for this data. We cannot access or influence the creation and processing of these usage statistics and the underlying data. This is the responsibility of the operator of the respective social media platform. We have no way to view personal data of individual users.

Purposes and legal basis of processing

"We operate our corporate pages and process the data mentioned above to provide information about us and our products, as well as to communicate with interested parties. The legal basis for this processing is the necessity to safeguard our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR). If you make a specific request to us, the processing may also be carried out to fulfill a contract or to take steps prior to entering into a contract (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR)."

"We use the data provided by the operator to better understand the usage and reach of the content, identify user preferences, and tailor our company pages as effectively as possible to our target audiences."

"We can use this information to specifically target interest-based advertisements without immediately knowing the identity of the visitors. If visitors use social media applications on multiple devices, cross-device tracking can occur if they are registered and logged-in visitors."

The processing of this data is carried out to pursue our legitimate interests mentioned above (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR).

"Further processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR), in the context of which we provide detailed information about the data processing to which consent is given."

"As part of providing our corporate pages, we work with service providers (e.g., advertising and content agencies that assist us in creating our posts as well as providing and optimizing our social media activities)."

Duration of processing

"We process your personal data only as long as it is needed for the aforementioned purposes."

In the event of an objection to the processing for the protection of our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR), we will delete personal data unless further processing is permitted under the relevant legal provisions. We will also delete personal data if we are legally obliged to do so for other reasons. According to these general principles, we generally delete personal data as soon as the legal basis ceases to exist, when they are no longer necessary for the stated purposes or the stated purposes cease to exist and no other legal basis is available (e.g. commercial and tax retention periods), or otherwise, when the other legal basis ceases to exist.

9. Data security

"We have technical and organizational security procedures in place to safeguard the security of your personal data and to protect your personal data against unauthorized or unlawful processing and/or against accidental loss, alteration, disclosure, or access."
