Privacy statement

The IMMOTISS care GmbH website can generally be used without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to make use of special services offered by our company via our website, it may be necessary to process personal data. If processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we always obtain the consent of the data subject.

Processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject shall always comply with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and be in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to IMMOTISS care GmbH. In this privacy statement, our company would like to inform the public about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, this privacy statement informs data subjects of their rights.

As the controller, IMMOTISS care GmbH has implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the highest-possible level of protection of personal data processed through this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transfer can generally have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transfer personal data to us using alternative means, for example by telephone.

1. Definition of terms

The IMMOTISS care GmbH privacy statement is based on the terms used by the European legislator of directives and regulations for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy statement is designed to be easy to read and understand for the public, as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.

We use the following terms, among others, in this privacy statement:

a) Personal data
Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter a “data subject”). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more special characteristics which reflect the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

b) Data subject
A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller responsible for processing.

c) Processing
Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as the collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

d) Restriction of processing
Restriction of processing is the marking of saved personal data with the aim of restricting its future processing.

e) Profiling
Profiling refers to any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects regarding said natural person’s performance at work, financial situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.

f) Pseudonymisation
Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

g) Controller or controller responsible for processing
Controller or controller responsible for processing refers to the natural person or legal entity, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by European Union or member state law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by European Union or member state law.

h) Processor
Processor refers to a natural person or legal entity, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

i) Recipient
Recipient refers to a natural person or legal entity, public authority, agency or another body, to which personal data are disclosed, regardless of whether such is a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular enquiry in accordance with European Union or member state law shall not be regarded as recipients.

j) Third party
The term third party refers to a natural person or legal entity, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, is authorised to process personal data.

k) Consent
Consent is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or other clear affirmative action, confirms agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

2. Name and address of the controller

The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation, other data protection laws applicable in the member states of the European Union and other provisions of a data protection nature is:

IMMOTISS care GmbH

Kaiserstrasse 53

60329 Frankfurt am Main

E-mail: info@immotisscare.de
Phone: +49 69 24751701-0

3. Cookies

The Internet pages of IMMOTISS care GmbH use cookies. Cookies are text files that are placed and stored on a computer system via an Internet browser.

Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier for the cookie. It consists of a string of characters which allows websites and servers to be assigned to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the websites and servers visited to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognised and identified via the unique cookie ID.

Through the use of cookies, IMMOTISS care GmbH can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services which would not be possible without the use of cookies.

Cookies can be used to optimise the information and offers on our website for the benefit of the user. As has already been mentioned, cookies enable us to recognise the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, users of a website that uses cookies do not have to re-enter their access data every time they visit the website because this is done for them by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping basket in an online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping basket via a cookie.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by using a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and, thus, permanently objecting to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

4. Collection of general data and information

The IMMOTISS care GmbH website collects a series of general data and information when a data subject or an automated system calls up the website. Said general data and information is stored in the server log files. The (1) browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system accesses our website (the so-called referrer), (4) the sub-websites which are accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the internet service provider of the accessing system and (8) other similar data and information used for security purposes in the event of attacks on our information technology systems can be recorded.

When using general data and information, IMMOTISS care GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is required to (1) correctly deliver the contents of our website, (2) optimise the contents of our website and the advertising for it, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyber-attack. Therefore, IMMOTISS care GmbH analyses anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise, and to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous server log file data are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

5. Contact options via the website

The IMMOTISS care GmbH website contains information that enables rapid electronic contact with our enterprise, as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address) in accordance with legal requirements. If a data subject contacts the data controller by email or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject is automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the controller are stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. Such personal data is not passed on to third parties.

6. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data

The controller only processes and stores the personal data of the data subject for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or in as far as this is provided for the European legislator of directives and regulations or other legislators in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.

If the storage purpose no longer applies or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator of directives and regulations or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or erased in accordance with the statutory provisions.

7. Rights of the data subject

a) Right to confirmation
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator of directives and regulations to obtain confirmation from the controller as to whether or not personal data concerning him or her are being processed. If a data subject wishes to avail himself or herself of this right of confirmation, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller responsible for processing.

b) Right to information
Any person affected by processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator of directives and regulations, to obtain from the controller free information about the personal data stored about him/her and a copy of this information at any time. Furthermore, the European legislator of directives and regulations has granted the data subject access to the following information:

• the purposes of processing
• the categories of personal data that are processed
• the recipients or categories of recipients to whom such personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular, recipients in third countries or international organisations
• where possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if this is not possible, the criteria used to determine that period
• the existence of the right to request from the controller the rectification or erasure of personal data or restriction of processing of personal data concerning the data subject or to object to such processing
• the existence of a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
• if the personal data is not collected from the data subject: All available information about the origin of the data
• the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in Article 22(1) and (4) GDPR and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject

Furthermore, the data subject has the right to obtain information as to whether personal data has been transferred to a third country or to an international organisation. If this is the case, the data subject also has the right to obtain information about the appropriate safeguards in connection with the transfer.

If a data subject wishes to avail himself/herself of this right of access, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.

c) Right to rectification
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator of directives and regulations to demand the immediate correction of incorrect personal data concerning them. Furthermore, taking into account the purposes of the processing, the data subject shall have the right to have incomplete personal data completed, including by means of providing a supplementary statement. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.

d) Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator of directives and regulations, to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies and in as far as processing is not necessary:

• The personal data was collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which it is no longer necessary.
• The data subject withdraws consent on which processing is based according to lit. (a) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR, or lit. (a) of Article 9(2) of the GDPR, and where there is no other legal ground for processing.
• The data subject objects to processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for processing, or the data subject objects to processing pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR.
• Personal data was processed unlawfully.
• The deletion of personal data is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation under European Union law or the law of the member states to which the controller is subject.
• The personal data was collected in relation to information society services offered in accordance with Art. 8 para. 1 GDPR.

If one of the aforementioned reasons applies, and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by IMMOTISS care GmbH, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller. Said employee of IMMOTISS care GmbH shall ensure that the erasure request is complied with immediately.

If the personal data has been made public by IMMOTISS care GmbH and our company, as the controller, is obliged to erase the personal data pursuant to Article 17(1) of GDPR, IMMOTISS care GmbH shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, under consideration of the available technology and the cost of implementation, to inform other controllers processing the personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, the personal data, in as far as processing is not required. An employee of IMMOTISS care GmbH will arrange the necessary measures in individual cases.

e) Right to restriction of processing
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator of directives and regulations to require the controller to restrict processing if one of the following conditions is met:

• The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
• Processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of their use instead.
• The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but they are required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
• The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR and it has not yet been verified whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.

If one of the aforementioned conditions is met and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of the processing of personal data stored by IMMOTISS care GmbH, he or she may at any time contact any employee of the controller. The employee of the IMMOTISS care GmbH will arrange the restriction of the processing.

f) Right to data portability
Any person affected by processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator of directives and regulations, to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which he or she has provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format. Moreover, he or she also has the right to transmit the data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, where processing is based on consent pursuant to lit. (a) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR or lit. (a) of Article 9(2) of the GDPR or on a contract pursuant to lit. (b) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR and processing is carried out by automated means unless 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. Furthermore, in exercising his or her right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) of the GDPR, the data subject shall have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and provided doing so does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others; in order to assert the right to data portability, the data subject may at any time contact any employee of IMMOTISS care GmbH.

g) Right to object
Any person affected by processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator of directives and regulations to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her which is based on lit. (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions. IMMOTISS care GmbH shall no longer process personal data in the event of such objection unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. If IMMOTISS care GmbH processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her for such marketing. This also applies to profiling in as far as it is associated with such direct advertising. If the data subject objects to processing for direct marketing purposes by IMMOTISS care GmbH, IMMOTISS care GmbH will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.

In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, to object to processing of personal data concerning him or her by IMMOTISS care GmbH for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89 (1) of the GDPR, unless processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.

In order to exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact any employee of IMMOTISS care GmbH or another employee. The data subject is also free, in the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to exercise his or her right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

h) Automated decisions in individual cases, including profiling
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator of directives and regulations not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her, or similarly significantly affects him or her, provided that the decision (1) is not necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is authorised by European Union or member state law to which the controller is subject and which also establishes suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is based on the data subject’s express consent. If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller, or (2) it is based on the data subject’s express consent, IMMOTISS care GmbH shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, which include, at least, the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and contest the decision. If the data subject wants to assert rights regarding automated decisions, he or she can contact an employee of the data controller in charge of processing at any time.

i) Right to withdraw consent under data protection law
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator of directives and regulations to withdraw his or her consent to processing of his or her personal data at any time. If the data subject wishes to exercise the right to withdraw his or her consent, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.

8. Data protection for applications and in the application process

The controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application process. Processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits relevant application documents to the controller by electronic means, for example by email or via a web form on the website. If the controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If the controller does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision unless deletion conflicts with any other legitimate interests of the controller. Other legitimate interest in this sense, for example, includes a burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

9. Data protection provisions about the application and use of Google reCAPTCHA

We use “Google reCAPTCHA” (hereinafter “reCAPTCHA”) on our websites. This service is provided by Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA (“Google”).

reCAPTCHA is used to check whether the entries on our websites (e.g. in a contact form) originate from a human or an automated system. To do this, reCAPTCHA analyses the behaviour of website visitors based on various criteria. This analysis starts automatically as soon as a visitor accesses the website. To carry out the analysis, reCAPTCHA collects various data (e.g. the IP address, time spent on the website or mouse movements made by the user), which is then transmitted to Google.

The analyses by reCAPTCHA take place entirely in the background without the website visitor being made aware of this. The data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its online services from abusive automated use and spam.

Further information about Google reCAPTCHA and Google’s privacy policy can be found at the following links: https://www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and https://www.google.com/recaptcha/intro/android.html.

9. Data protection provisions about the application and use of Google Analytics (including an anonymisation function)

The data controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (including an anonymisation function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analysis is the collection, collation, and evaluation of data about the behaviour of visitors to websites. Among other things, a web analysis service collects data about the website from which a data subject came to a website (the so-called referrer), which subpages of the website were accessed or how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. Web analysis is mainly used to optimise a website and for the cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising.

The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.

The data controller uses the addition “_gat._anonymiseIp” for web analysis via Google Analytics. This addition is used by Google to shorten and anonymise the IP address of the data subject’s Internet connection if our website is accessed from a member state of the European Union or from another state which is party to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyse the flow of visitors to our website. Among other things, Google uses the data and information obtained to analyse the use of our website, to compile online reports for us that show the activities on our website, and to provide other services in connection with the use of our website.

Google Analytics places a cookie on the data subject’s information technology system. It has already been explained above what cookies are. By setting the cookie, Google is enabled to analyse the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website is accessed, which is operated by the data controller and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, the Internet browser used by the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. During the course of this technical procedure, Google gains knowledge of personal information, such as the IP address of the data subject, which enables Google, inter alia, to understand the origin of visitors and clicks, and subsequently create commission settlements.

The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the access time, the location from which access was made and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject. Each time our website is visited, this personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties.

The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and, thus, permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from placing a cookie on the data subject’s IT system. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programmes.

Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to and preventing the collection of data generated by Google Analytics relating to the use of this website and the processing of this data by Google. To do this, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on from the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information about visits to websites may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is recognised by Google as an objection. If the data subject’s information technology system is deleted, formatted, or reinstalled at a later date, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on in order to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or another person who is attributable to their sphere of control, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and under https://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. Google Analytics is explained in more detail at this link https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.

10. Data protection provisions about the application and use of Google Ads

The data controller has integrated Google Ads on this website. Google Ads is an internet advertising service that allows advertisers to place adverts in Google’s search engine results as well as in the Google advertising network. Google Ads allows an advertiser to pre-define certain keywords that are used to display an advert in Google’s search engine results only when the user uses the search engine to retrieve a keyword-relevant search result. In the Google advertising network, the adverts are distributed to relevant websites using an automatic algorithm and taking into account the previously defined keywords.

The operating company of the Google Ads services is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.

The purpose of Google Ads is to promote our website by displaying relevant advertising on the websites of third-party companies and in the search engine results of the Google search engine and by displaying third-party advertising on our website.

If a data subject reaches our website via a Google advert, a so-called conversion cookie is stored on the data subject’s IT system by Google. What cookies are has already been explained above. A conversion cookie loses its validity after thirty days and is not used to identify the data subject. If the cookie has not yet expired, the conversion cookie is used to track whether certain sub-pages, such as the shopping basket from an online shop system, have been accessed on our website. The conversion cookie enables both us and Google to track whether a data subject who has reached our website via an Ads ad has generated sales, i.e. completed or cancelled a purchase.

The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie is used by Google to compile visit statistics for our website. These visit statistics are, in turn, used by us to determine the total number of users who were referred to us via Ads ads, i.e. to determine the success or failure of the respective Ads ad and to optimise our Ads ads for the future. Neither our company nor other Google Ads advertisers receive information from Google that could be used to identify the data subject.

The conversion cookie is used to store personal information, such as the websites visited by the data subject. Each time our website is visited, personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties.

The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from placing a conversion cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Ads can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to interest-based advertising by Google. To do this, the data subject must call up the link www.google.de/settings/ads from each of the Internet browsers they use and make the desired settings there.

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

11. Legal basis of processing

Art. 6 I lit. a GDPR is used by our company as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b GDPR. The same applies to processing operations which are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures, for example, in cases of enquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, such processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, processing of personal data may become necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured when visiting our company and their name, age, health insurance details or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Processing would then be based on Art. 6 I lit. d GDPR. Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, the European legislator took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).

12. Legitimate interests in processing pursued by the controller or a third party

Where processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest lies in the performance of our business activities for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.

13. Term for which the personal data is stored

The criterion for the term for which personal data is stored is the respective statutory retention period. After this period has expired, the corresponding data is routinely deleted provided it is no longer required for the fulfilment or initiation of a contract.

14. Legal or contractual rules regarding the provision of personal data; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of non-provision

We would like to inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes in order for a contract to be concluded it may be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject cannot be concluded. Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what the consequences would be if the personal data were not provided.

17. Application of automated decision-making

As a responsible company, we do not use any automated decision-making or profiling.
