4. Basic Information
We store and process your personal data (e.g. title, name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, bank information, credit card number) in compliance with the relevant statutory data protection provisions, in particular REGULATION (EU) 2016/679 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 27 April 2016 on the protection of individuals with regard to the processing of personal data, on the free movement of such data and on the repeal of Directive 95/46/EC (the General Data Protection Regulation – GDPR), the German Federal Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz – BDSG) and other data-related laws [e.g. the Telemedia Act (Telemediengesetz – TMG)].
According to the GDPR and other regulations, data processing and use is only permitted if the GDPR or another legal provision explicitly allows it or if the data subject consents (prohibition with reservation of permission). In particular, data processing and use is only permitted according to these legal bases if
- the data subject has given consent to the processing of personal data concerning him or her for one or more specific purposes;
- processing is necessary for performing a contract to which the data subject is party or for implementing pre-contractual measures taken at the data subject’s request;
- processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject;
- processing is necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person;
- processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
- processing is necessary for protecting the legitimate interests of the controller or of a third party, except where overridden by the interests or the fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require the protection of personal data, particularly if the data subject is a child.
Accordingly, we will only use and process your personal data within the permissible scope of processing the contract or if you have given your informed consent.
As a rule, we do not share your personal data – including your mailing and e-mail address – with third parties, except for our service partners who require data to be transmitted for fulfilling the contract or if we have expressly pointed this out. In such cases, however, the scope of the transmitted data will always be limited to the necessary minimum.
5. Anonymous Data Collection
You can always visit our website without telling us who you are. We only learn the following:
- Name of your internet service provider
- Website from which you are visiting us (referrer URL)
- Pages of our website that you visit
- Date and time of data retrieval and the amount of data transferred
- Successful retrieval message
- Browser type and version of the requesting computer / end device
- Operating system of the requesting computer / end device
- IP addresses of the requesting computer / end device
This information is only evaluated for statistical purposes. As an individual user, you will always remain anonymous. As a matter of course, you will not be linked with your personal data unless you have expressly consented to this or if one of the cases listed below applies.
- Storage of the IP Address
We store the IP address transmitted by your web browser for a period of seven days and strictly for the purpose of detecting, limiting and eliminating attacks on our websites and servers. After this period elapses, we will delete or anonymise the IP address. Article 6(1)(f) GDPR is the legal basis for this.
6. General Collection of Personal Data During Visits to Our Website and Use of Our Services
Personal data will only be collected by us if you provide them voluntarily and of your own accord. For example, this may be the case within the context of an existing or prospective contractual relationship, during the application process or when contacting us. In such cases, we generally only collect the data that we are legally authorised to collect and that is absolutely necessary for rendering the services you have requested. Whenever we collect personal data from you, you will only ever be required to provide the necessary data. The mandatory data fields are always labelled as such. All other data provided by you are purely voluntary and do not need to be disclosed by you. If you provide them anyway, then, by disclosing them, you are giving us your consent that we may also store and process these data from you for the purpose stated in each instance; in some cases, we will also ask your express consent for purposes pursuant to data protection law that require express consent, which you can of course give voluntarily, which is not tied to any further requirements and can be revoked at any time for the future.
For the highest possible security of your data, they will be transmitted in encrypted form using TLS encryption. This is done to prevent the data from being misused by third parties. Your data will only be stored and processed by us on servers within the European Union. No transfer to third countries will ever take place unless we are entitled and/or obliged to do so on the basis of a statutory provision or if you have expressly consented to this in advance. However, each of these cases will also be clearly marked as such.
7. Data Processing upon Contract Performance
7.1 Purpose of Processing
You provide us with your personal data as part of our contractual relationships or in the context of pre-contractual measures. The mandatory information marked for this is the personal data required for concluding a contract with us. Of course, you are under no obligation to provide your personal data. However, unless you provide us with the data required in each instance, we will not be able to render the service you want. For some payment methods, we need the payment data that we are required to pass on to a payment service provider commissioned by us. The data you enter are therefore always processed in order to perform the contract.
7.2 Legal Basis
The legal basis for this processing is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR.
7.3 Transmission of Personal Data to Third Parties
Your personal data will not be transmitted to third parties for purposes other than those specified below. In particular, your personal data will not be transferred to third parties without your explicit consent, such as for advertising purposes.
We will only share your personal data with third parties if
- you have given your express consent to this pursuant to Article 6(1)(1)(a) GDPR;
- pursuant to Article 6(1)(1)(b) GDPR, this is necessary for processing contractual relationships with you, such as with credit institutions for processing contractually agreed payments or with lawyers and legal services providers for the purposes of law enforcement due to failure to make contractually agreed payments;
- for the case that a legal obligation exists for disclosure pursuant to Article 6(1)(1)(c) GDPR; or
- pursuant to Article 6(1)(1)(f) GDPR, transmitting the data is necessary to assert, exercise or defend legal claims and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding legitimate interest opposing the transmission of your data.
7.4 Storage Period
We will store the data required for performing the contract until the expiry of the statutory warranty periods and any contractual guarantee periods.
We will retain the data required under commercial and tax law for the periods specified by law – normally ten years (cf. Sec. 257 of the Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch – HGB), Sec. 147 of the Tax Code (Abgabenordnung – AO)).
We will immediately delete e-mail addresses that we have only received for sending newsletters as soon as you unsubscribe from the newsletter.

You have a right to demand that we rectify and/or complete any processed personal data of yours that are incorrect or incomplete. Of course, we will be required to rectify the data promptly.
17.3 Right to Restriction of Processing
You can request that the processing of your personal data be restricted under the following conditions:
- if you contest the accuracy of your personal information for a period of time that enables us to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
- if the processing is unlawful and if you oppose the erasure of the personal data and request that the use of your personal data be restricted instead;
- if we no longer need the personal data for processing purposes, but you need them for establishing, exercising or defending against legal claims; or
- if you have objected to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR and it has not yet been determined whether the legitimate reasons to which we are entitled outweigh your reasons.
If the processing of your personal data has been restricted, these data can only be processed – with the exception of storing them – by us or authorised third parties with your consent or for the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending against legal claims or protecting the rights of another natural person or legal entity or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.
If processing has been restricted according to the preceding conditions, we will inform you before the restriction is lifted.
17.4 Right to Erasure
- Obligation to Erase
You can request that we immediately erase your personal data, and we will be obligated to immediately erase said data, provided that one of the following reasons applies:
- Your personal data are no longer required for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
- You revoke your consent, which was based on processing pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) or Art 9 (2) (a) GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for processing.

If we have publicised your personal data and are obligated to erase them pursuant to Article 17(1) GDPR, we will take appropriate measures, taking the available technology and implementation costs into account, including technical means, to inform data controllers in charge of processing personal data that you as the data subject have asked that they erase all links pertaining to these personal data or copies or replications of these personal data.
- Exceptions
There is no right to erasure if processing is required
- to exercise the right to free expression and information;
- to fulfill a legal obligation to perform such processing as required by the law of the European Union or the Member States to which we are subject or to carry out a task in the public interest or to exercise official authority delegated to us;
- for reasons of public interest in the field of public health in accordance with Article 9(2)(h) and (i) along with Article 9 (3) GDPR;
- for archival purposes of public interest, for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89 (1) GDPR, to the extent that the law referred to in section a) is likely to render impossible or have a serious detrimental affect on the achievement of the objectives of such processing; or
- to assert, exercise or defend against legal claims.
17.5 Right to Information
If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing vis-á-vis us, we shall be obligated to notify all recipients to which your personal data were disclosed of this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves to be impossible or involves an unreasonable effort or expense.
You have the right to ask us to inform you concerning these recipients.
17.6 Right to Data Portability
You have the right to receive the personal data you have provided to us in a structured, standard and machine-readable format. In addition, you also have the right to transfer these data to another controller without any hindrance, provided that
- the processing is based on consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) or Article 9(2)(a) or on a contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) GDPR; and
- processing is conducted using automated procedures.
In exercising this right, you also have the right to instigate that your personal data be directly transmitted by us to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible. The freedoms and rights of other persons may not be affected by this.
The right to data portability does not apply to the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task in the public interest or which occurs in the exercising of official authority delegated to us.
17.7 Right to Object
You have the right to object to the processing of your personal data at any time for reasons that arise from your particular situation and which is conducted in accordance with Article 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR; this also applies to a profiling based on these provisions.
We will then no longer process your personal data unless we can verify compelling grounds for processing which are worthy of protection and override your interests, rights and freedoms or unless processing them serves the process of asserting, exercising or defending against legal claims.
If your personal data are processed to engage in direct advertising, you have the right to object to this processing of your personal data for the purpose of such advertising at any time; this also applies to any profiling associated with such direct advertising.
If you object to your personal data being used for direct advertising, they will no longer be processed for these purposes.
Regardless of Directive 2002/58/EC, you have the option – in connection with the use of information society services – of exercising your right to object using automated procedures for which technical specifications are used.
17.8 Right to Revoke Consent under Data Protection Law
You have the right to revoke your consent under data protection law at any time. Revoking your consent does not affect the legality of processing data based on consent up until the revocation was issued.
17.9 Automated Individual Decision-Making, Including Profiling
You have the right not to be subjected to a decision-making process based solely on automated processing – including profiling – which will have a legal effect on you or a significantly adverse effect on you in a similar manner. This does not apply if the decision
- a) is necessary for the entering into or performance of a contract between you and us,
b.) is permissible based on European Union or Member State legislation to which we are subject and if these statutory provisions contain suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests or
c.) is made with your explicit consent.
However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data according to Article 9(1) GDPR, unless Article 9(2)(a) or (g) GDPR applies and suitable measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests are in place.
Regarding the cases referred to in a.) and c.), we will take appropriate measures to uphold your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests.
17.10 Right to Lodge a Complaint with a Supervisory Authority
Regardless of any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the Member State of your abode, place of work or place of alleged violation if you are of the opinion that the processing of your personal data violates the GDPR.
The supervisory authority with which the complaint has been lodged will inform the complainant on the progress and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy pursuant to Article 78 GDPR.
