You provide us with much of the following personal data yourself. However, you are generally not obliged to do so. If you provide us with data about other people, we assume that you are authorized to do so and that this data is also correct. You automatically confirm this when you send us data from these third parties. Please ensure that the third parties concerned have been made aware of this data protection declaration.

• For communication (e.g. answering your messages)
• For internal administration (e.g. accounting or data archiving)

5. Disclosure of data to other companies and other recipients

We disclose your personal data to service providers. This particularly applies to IT service providers, but can – where necessary – affect analysis service providers, debt collection service providers, credit agencies, marketing service providers, etc. To the extent that these service providers process personal data as contract processors, they are obliged to process personal data exclusively in accordance with our instructions and to take measures to ensure data security. Data can then also be disclosed to other recipients, e.g. to courts and authorities in the context of legal proceedings.

In individual cases, it is possible that we may pass on personal data to other third parties for their own purposes, e.g. if you have given us your consent to do so or if we are legally obliged or entitled to do so.

6. Duration of data processing

We store and process your personal data as long as it is necessary for the purpose of processing (for data related to contracts, this is usually for the duration of the contractual relationship), as long as we have a legitimate interest in storing the data (e.g. to enforce legal claims or to ensure IT security) and as long as data is subject to a statutory retention period (for certain data, for example, a ten-year retention period applies, which we must adhere to). We destroy or anonymize your personal data after the storage or processing period has expired, unless legal or contractual obligations prohibit this.

7. Rights of data subjects

You have certain rights under applicable data protection law to obtain further information about our data processing and to influence it. These are in particular the following rights:

• You have a right to information. This means that you can request information about how we process your data. We are happy to provide this information. You can also submit a so-called request for information if you would like further information and a copy of your data.
• You have a right of transfer. This means that you have the right to receive the personal data that you have provided to us in a structured, common and machine-readable format or to have it transferred to a third party, provided that the corresponding data processing is based on your consent or is necessary to fulfill the contract.
• You have the right to deletion and objection. This means that you can object to our data processing so that we can no longer process your data. You can then request that we delete your personal data. However, we would like to point out that we will continue to process and store your data if we are obliged to do so.
• You have a right to rectification. This means that you can correct or complete incorrect or incomplete personal data or have it marked with a so-called dispute note.
• You have a right of revocation. This means that you can revoke your consent at any time, provided that you have previously given your consent for data processing. The revocation is effective from this moment, i.e. only for the future and not for the past. However, in the event of your revocation, we may continue to process your data on a different basis.

If you assert your rights as a data subject, we must verify your identity (this is done, for example, by sending a copy of your ID card). The data subject rights listed are then subject to legal requirements and restrictions. This means that the exercise of rights is not always possible in full. For example, we must continue to process your personal data in order to fulfil an order with you, to protect our own legitimate interests or to meet legal obligations. To the extent that it is legally permissible (e.g. to protect the privacy of third parties and to protect our own legitimate interests such as the existence of trade secrets), we can restrict or refuse to exercise your rights. It should also be mentioned that you also have the option of contacting the responsible data protection authority with your request.
