The data that is collected depends on the information you provide and the contact information you provide or share. These are stored for the purpose of processing the request and for the case of follow-up questions with us. Under no circumstances do we pass on the data to third parties without your consent. The legal basis for the processing of the data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO and, if applicable, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO, if your request is aimed at the conclusion of a contract. Your data will be deleted after your request has been processed, provided that there are no legal obligations to retain the data. We assume that processing has been completed when the circumstances indicate that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified.

14.3.3. Data processing for contract management

If your contact via a social network or other platform aims at the conclusion of a contract for the delivery of goods or the provision of services with us, we process your data for the fulfillment of the contract or for the performance of pre-contractual measures or for the provision of the requested services. The legal basis for the processing of your data in this case is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Your data will be deleted if they are no longer required for the execution of the contract or if it is determined that the pre-contractual measures do not lead to the conclusion of a contract corresponding to the purpose of the contact. Please note, however, that it may be necessary to store personal data of our contractual partners even after the conclusion of the contract in order to fulfill contractual or legal obligations.

14.3.4. Data processing based on consent

If you are asked by the respective providers of the platforms for consent to processing for a specific purpose, the legal basis of the processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. a., Art. 7 DSGVO. Consent given can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.

14.4. Data sharing and recipients

When visiting and using the platforms listed above, a transfer of personal data to the USA or other third countries outside the EU may occur, which is why further protection mechanisms are required in these cases to ensure the level of data protection of the GDPR.
