5. Purposes and Legal Basis for the Processing of Your Personal Data
The purposes and legal basis for the processing of your Personal Data may vary from case to case. In general, we process your Personal Data in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 ("GDPR") and the German Federal Data Protection Act (Bundesdatenschutzgesetz) ("BDSG") for the following purposes and legal basis:

  1. For the Performance of a Contract
    We may process your Personal Data to fulfill contractual or quasi-contractual obligations, to enter into an agreement, for example to provide services, to support current customers, or to answer questions. The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR.
  2. To be in Compliance with Legal Obligations
    To the extent that we are subject to legal obligations, for the compliance of which the processing of your Personal Data is necessary, we process your Personal Data on the basis of these legal obligations (for instance a legal obligation to retain data). The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR.
  3. Based on Our Legitimate Interests
    We also process your Personal Data to pursue our legitimate interests (such as our legal or economic interests), unless your conflicting interests or fundamental rights and freedoms, which require the protection of your Personal Data prevail. The legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR.
  4. Based on Your Consent
    In certain limited circumstances, we may process your Personal Data based on your consent. If we need your consent, we will notify you of the Personal Data we intend to use and how we use it. You do not have to give your consent. Where you have granted us your consent to collect, use or disclose your personal data in a certain way, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time with effect for the future. Please note that neither the refusal nor the withdrawal of your consent will have negative consequences for you, however, we may not be able to render a specific service.
    For example, your consent may relate to the transfer of Personal Date to other companies, the evaluation of your Personal Data for targeted advertising activities or for sending of communication. The legal basis for your consent is Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR.

6.How Long Do We Store Your Personal Data?
Personal Data will be retained only for as long as necessary for the fulfillment of the purposes for which it was collected, including the purposes of our legitimate interests, or according to statutory retention and documentation obligations.
Statutory retention and documentation obligations are usually between two and ten years and result, for instance from § 147 the German Fiscal Code (Abgabenordnung) or § 257 German Commercial Code (Handelsgesetzbuch).
Upon request, we may delete the data collected and stored for our websites’ usage. We will do this ourselves and within certain set time periods, unless we have a particular interest in continuing storage for individual cases, for example cyberattacks.
To determine the appropriate retention period for Personal Data, we consider the amount, nature, sensitivity of the data, the potential risk of harm from unauthorized use or disclosure of your Personal Data, the purposes for which we process your Personal Data and the applicable legal requirements.
Insofar as a longer retention period is required by statutory retention and documentation obligations or to protect our legitimate interests that override your conflicting interests, for example in the event of possible legal disputes, your Personal Data will be stored and processed for such even longer periods as well.
