2. For which purpose and on which legal basis will my data be processed?
We process the personal data mentioned under point 2 according to the provisions of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Federal Data Protection Act (FDPA) for the following purposes:
a) To fulfil contractual obligations (Article 6 Para.1 b GDPR)
The processing of personal data takes place for the provision of services in the context of the execution of our orders with our customers or for the execution of pre-contractual measures, which take place on request. The purposes of data processing are primarily based on the specific offer, e.g. small and very small tasks, scientific surveys, user tests or feedback and data collections, and are explained by us in good time at the beginning of an offer.
b) Within the framework of the balancing of interests (Article 6 para. 1 f GDPR)
If necessary, we process your data beyond the actual performance of the contract to protect the legitimate interests of us or third parties. Examples:
- Examination and optimization of procedures for needs analysis and for direct addressing of participants; incl. segmentation and quality control
- Advertising or market and opinion research, as long as you have not objected to the use of your data
- The assertion of legal claims and defence in the event of legal Disputes
- Ensuring the IT security and IT operation of our systems
- Prevention of criminal offences
- Measures for business management and further development of offers and services
c) On the basis of your consent (Article 6 para. 1 a GDPR)
Depending on the offer, consent may be required under Article 6(1) (a) GDPR. If you have given us such consent to process personal data for certain purposes (e.g. forwarding of data within the network), the legality of such processing is given on the basis of this consent. Consent given can be revoked at any time. This also applies to consents given to us prior to the entry into force of the basic EU data protection regulation (deadline May 25, 2018). A revocation becomes effective for the future. Transactions that have already taken place before the revocation remain unaffected and do not fall under the effectiveness of the revocation. You can request an overview of given consents from us at any time.
Fully automated decision making according to Article 22 GDPR (including fully automated profiling) is not used in our systems. Should we use these procedures in the future, we will inform you separately and in good time, if this is required by law.
3. Who will receive my data?
Internally or as part of a network, those departments receive access to your data that they need to fulfil our contractual and legal obligations. This also includes external service providers and vicarious agents if they observe our instructions under data protection law in writing and guarantee conformity with the requirements of the EU Data Protection Basic Ordinance / the Federal Data Protection Act. In addition, we will only disclose information to third parties if required to do so by law. The following data recipients are examples: Support/maintenance of IT applications, archiving, document processing, call center services, compliance services, controlling, data screening for anti-money laundering purposes, data destruction, purchasing/procurement, space management, customer administration, letter shops, marketing, media technology, reporting, research, website management, auditing services, payment transactions.
Data transmission to countries outside the EU or the EEA (so-called third countries) may be order-related or legally required (e.g. tax reporting obligations). In this case, we will inform you in time before processing the order. The exchange can be established within the framework of order data processing. In the case of data transmission to third countries, the recipients are also obliged to comply with the data protection level in Europe in addition to the instructions in writing by the agreement of the EU standard contract clauses.
Our systems use only secure connections and certified receivers. The data is stored in German (partly scientific) computer centers with a high level of security. Our infrastructure is maintained by professional IT service providers and checked at regular intervals.
