We have entered into a data processing agreement with the provider that ensures the protection of our website visitors' data and prohibits its unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

5.3WhatsApp Business

You have the option to contact us via the WhatsApp messaging service provided by WhatsApp Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland. For this purpose, we use the so-called “Business version” of WhatsApp.

If you contact us via WhatsApp in connection with a specific transaction (such as a completed order), we will store and use the mobile phone number you use with WhatsApp, as well as your first and last names—if provided—in accordance with Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR to process and respond to your inquiry. Based on the same legal basis, we may ask you via WhatsApp to provide additional information (order number, customer number, address, or email address) so that we can associate your inquiry with a specific transaction.

If you use our WhatsApp contact for general inquiries (such as about our range of services, availability, or our website), we will store and use the mobile phone number you use on WhatsApp as well as—if provided — your first and last names in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, based on our legitimate interest in providing the requested information efficiently and in a timely manner.

Your data will only ever be used to respond to your inquiry via WhatsApp. It will not be shared with third parties.

Please note that WhatsApp Business has access to the address book of the mobile device we use for this purpose and automatically transfers phone numbers stored in the address book to a server operated by our parent company, Meta Platforms Inc., in the United States. To operate our WhatsApp Business account, we use a mobile device whose address book contains only the WhatsApp contact information of users who have actually contacted us via WhatsApp.

This ensures that every person whose WhatsApp contact information is stored in our address book has, upon first using the app on their device, consented to the transfer of their WhatsApp phone number from the address books of their chat contacts in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR by accepting the WhatsApp Terms of Service. The transfer of data from users who do not use WhatsApp and/or have not contacted us via WhatsApp is therefore excluded.

For information on the purpose and scope of data collection, as well as the further processing and use of the data by WhatsApp, and your related rights and privacy settings, please refer to WhatsApp’s Privacy Policy:https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/?eea=1#privacy-policy

We have entered into a data processing agreement with the provider that protects the data of our website visitors and prohibits its disclosure to third parties.

5.4When you contact us (e.g., via the contact form or by email), personal data is processed—solely for the purpose of handling and responding to your inquiry and only to the extent necessary for that purpose.

The legal basis for processing this data is our legitimate interest in responding to your inquiry in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. If your contact is aimed at entering into a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. Your data will be deleted when it is clear from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively resolved and provided that no statutory retention requirements preclude this.

6) Comment feature

When you use the comment feature on this website, in addition to your comment, information regarding the time the comment was posted and the username you selected will be stored and published on this website. Furthermore, your IP address is also logged and stored. This IP address is stored for security reasons and in the event that the data subject infringes the rights of third parties through a comment or posts illegal content. We need your email address to contact you in the event that a third party complains that your published content is illegal.

The legal basis for storing your data is Article 6(1)(b) and (f) of the GDPR. We reserve the right to delete comments if they are reported by third parties as unlawful.

7) Data Processing When Opening a Customer Account

In accordance with Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, personal data will continue to be collected and processed to the extent necessary when you provide it to us upon opening a customer account. You can find out which data is required to open an account by referring to the input fields on the corresponding form on our website.

You may delete your customer account at any time by sending a message to the address of the data controller listed above. Once your customer account has been deleted, your data will be deleted, provided that all contracts concluded in connection with it have been fully fulfilled, there are no statutory retention periods that prevent this, and we no longer have a legitimate interest in continuing to store the data.

8) Use of Customer Data for Direct Marketing

8.1Signing Up for Our Email Newsletter

If you subscribe to our email newsletter, we will send you regular updates about our offers. The only required information for receiving the newsletter is your email address. Providing additional information is voluntary and is used to address you personally. We use the so-called double opt-in procedure to send the newsletter, which ensures that you will only receive the newsletter once you have explicitly confirmed your consent to receive it by clicking on a verification link sent to the email address you provided.

By clicking the confirmation link, you give us your consent to use your personal data in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. In doing so, we store your IP address as provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP), as well as the date and time of registration, so that we can trace any potential misuse of your email address at a later date. The data we collect when you subscribe to the newsletter is used strictly for the intended purpose.

You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time by clicking the link provided in the newsletter or by sending a message to the data controller listed at the beginning of this notice. Once you have unsubscribed, your email address will be deleted from our newsletter distribution list immediately, unless you have expressly consented to the continued use of your data or we reserve the right to use your data for other purposes that are permitted by law and about which we inform you in this statement.

8.2Sending the Email Newsletter to Existing Customers

If you provided us with your email address when purchasing goods or services, we reserve the right to periodically send you offers via email for similar goods or services from our product range as those you have already purchased. In accordance with Section 7(3) of the German Unfair Competition Act (UWG), we are not required to obtain separate consent from you for this purpose. Data processing in this regard is based solely on our legitimate interest in personalized direct marketing pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. If you initially objected to the use of your email address for this purpose, we will not send you any emails.

You have the right to object at any time, with future effect, to the use of your email address for the aforementioned promotional purposes by notifying the data controller named at the beginning of this notice. You will only be charged the standard transmission fees for this. Upon receipt of your objection, the use of your email address for promotional purposes will be discontinued immediately.

Our email newsletters and other promotional email communications are sent through this provider: Klaviyo, Inc., 125 Summer St., Ste 600, Boston, MA 02110, USA

Based on our legitimate interest in effective and user-friendly email marketing, we share the data you provided during registration with this provider in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR so that the provider can handle email distribution on our behalf.

Subject to your express consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR, the provider also conducts a statistical analysis of the effectiveness of email campaigns using web beacons or tracking pixels in the emails sent, which can measure open rates and specific interactions with the newsletter’s content. In doing so, device information (e.g., time of access, IP address, browser type, and operating system) is also collected and analyzed, but is not combined with other data sets.

You may revoke your consent to email tracking at any time, effective for the future.

We have entered into a data processing agreement with the provider that protects the data of our website visitors and prohibits its disclosure to third parties.

8.4WhatsApp Newsletter

If you sign up for our WhatsApp newsletter, we will send you regular updates about our offers via WhatsApp. The only information required to receive the newsletter is your cell phone number.

To subscribe to the newsletter, add the mobile phone number we provided to your mobile device’s contacts and send us the message “Start” via WhatsApp. By sending this WhatsApp message, you give us your consent to use your personal data in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR for the purpose of sending the newsletter. We will then add you to our newsletter distribution list.

The data we collect when you sign up for the newsletter is processed exclusively for the purpose of sending you promotional communications via the newsletter. You can unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time by sending us the message “Stop” via WhatsApp. Once you have unsubscribed, your cell phone number will be immediately deleted from our newsletter distribution list, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use your data for other purposes that are permitted by law and about which we inform you in this statement.

Please note that WhatsApp Business will have access to the address book on the mobile device we use for this purpose and will automatically transfer phone numbers stored in the address book to a server operated by our parent company, Meta Platforms Inc., in the United States.

To send our WhatsApp newsletter, we therefore use a mobile device whose address book contains only the WhatsApp contact information of our newsletter recipients. This ensures that every person whose WhatsApp contact information is stored in our address book has already consented to the transfer of their WhatsApp phone number from the address books of their chat contacts, in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR, by accepting the WhatsApp Terms of Service when they first used the app on their device. The transfer of data from users who do not use WhatsApp and/or have not contacted us via WhatsApp is therefore excluded.

We have entered into a data processing agreement with WhatsApp that protects the data of our newsletter subscribers and prohibits the disclosure of that data to third parties.

As part of the processing activities described above, data may be transferred to servers operated by Meta Platforms Inc. in the United States.

8.5- Our WhatsApp newsletters are sent via this provider: chatarmin.com GmbH, Kaiserstraße 89/2/3, 1070 Vienna, Austria

Based on our legitimate interest in effective and user-friendly newsletter marketing, we share your phone number linked to your WhatsApp account and, if applicable, your first and last name with this provider in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR so that the provider can send out the newsletter on our behalf.

Subject to your express consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR, the provider also conducts a statistical analysis of the effectiveness of newsletter campaigns using web beacons or tracking pixels in the WhatsApp messages sent, which can measure open rates and specific interactions with the newsletter’s content. In doing so, device information (e.g., time of access, IP address, browser type, and operating system) is also collected and analyzed, but is not combined with other data sets.

You may revoke your consent to newsletter tracking at any time, effective for the future.

We have entered into a data processing agreement with the provider that protects the data of our website visitors and prohibits its disclosure to third parties.

By clicking the confirmation link, you give us your consent to use your personal data in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. In doing so, we store your IP address as provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP), as well as the date and time of registration, so that we can investigate any potential misuse of your email address at a later date. The data we collect when you sign up for our email notification service regarding product availability is used strictly for the intended purpose.

9.3Use of Payment Service Providers (Payment Services)

- Amazon Pay

This website offers one or more online payment methods from the following provider: Amazon Payments Europe s.c.a., 38 avenue J.F. Kennedy, L-1855 Luxembourg

If you select a payment method offered by the provider that requires you to pay in advance (such as credit card payment), your payment details provided during the ordering process (including name, address, bank and payment card information, currency, and transaction number), as well as information about the contents of your order, will be shared with the provider in accordance with Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. In this case, your data is transferred exclusively for the purpose of processing the payment with the provider and only to the extent necessary for this purpose.
- Apple Pay

If you choose the “Apple Pay” payment method offered by Apple Distribution International (Apple), Hollyhill Industrial Estate, Hollyhill, Cork, Ireland, the payment will be processed via the “Apple Pay” feature on your iOS, watchOS, or macOS device by charging a payment card stored in “Apple Pay.” Apple Pay uses security features built into your device’s hardware and software to protect your transactions. To authorize a payment, you must therefore enter a passcode you have previously set and verify the transaction using your device’s “Face ID” or “Touch ID” feature.

For the purpose of processing your payment, the information you provided during the ordering process, along with the details of your order, is transmitted to Apple in encrypted form. Apple then re-encrypts this data using a developer-specific key before transmitting it to the payment service provider associated with the payment card stored in Apple Pay to complete the transaction. The encryption ensures that only the website through which the purchase was made can access the payment data. After the payment is made, Apple sends your device account number and a transaction-specific, dynamic security code to the originating website to confirm that the payment was successful.

If personal data is processed in connection with the transfers described above, such processing is carried out exclusively for the purpose of payment processing in accordance with Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR.

Apple stores anonymized transaction data, including the approximate purchase amount, the approximate date and time, and whether the transaction was completed successfully. Anonymization completely prevents the data from being linked to any specific individual. Apple uses the anonymized data to improve “Apple Pay” and other Apple products and services.

When you use Apple Pay on your iPhone or Apple Watch to complete a purchase you made through Safari on your Mac, your Mac and the authorization device communicate via an encrypted channel through Apple’s servers. Apple does not process or store any of this information in a format that could be used to identify you personally. You can disable the ability to use Apple Pay on your Mac in your iPhone’s Settings. Go to “Wallet & Apple Pay” and turn off “Allow Payments on Mac.”

PayPal uses the result of the credit check—which reflects the statistical probability of payment default—to determine whether to make the respective payment method available. The credit report may contain probability values (so-called “score values”). To the extent that score values are included in the credit report, they are based on a scientifically recognized mathematical-statistical method. The calculation of these score values includes, among other things but not exclusively, address data. You may object to this processing of your data at any time by sending a message to PayPal. However, PayPal may still be entitled to process your personal data if this is necessary for the contractual processing of payments.

Google AdSense uses so-called cookies, which are text files stored on your computer that enable an analysis of your use of the website. In addition, Google AdSense also uses so-called “web beacons” (small, invisible graphics) to collect information; these allow simple actions, such as visitor traffic on the website, to be recorded, collected, and analyzed. The information generated by the cookie and/or web beacon (including your IP address) regarding your use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server and stored there. This may also involve transmission to the servers of Google LLC in the United States.

Google uses the information obtained in this way to analyze your usage behavior with regard to AdSense ads. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google AdSense is not combined with other data held by Google. The information collected by Google may be transferred to third parties if required by law and/or if third parties process this data on Google’s behalf.
All processing described above—in particular, the collection of information from the device you are using via cookies and/or web beacons—will only take place if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. Without this consent, Google AdSense will not be used during your visit to the site.

To measure the success of an affiliate link, analyze orders generated through such a link, and process the corresponding commission payments, the provider uses cookies and/or similar technologies, which are generally placed on the partner sites and for which we are not responsible under data protection law.

Demographic Features
Google Analytics 4 uses the special “demographic features” function and can use it to generate statistics that provide insights into the age, gender, and interests of website visitors. This is done by analyzing advertisements and information from third-party providers. This allows target groups to be identified for marketing activities. However, the collected data cannot be attributed to any specific individual and is deleted after being stored for a period of two months.

Using cookies and/or similar technologies (tracking pixels, web beacons, algorithms for reading device and browser information), the service collects and stores pseudonymized visitor data, including information about the device used—such as the IP address and browser information—in order to evaluate it for statistical analyses of usage behavior on our website and to create pseudonymized usage profiles. Among other things, this enables the analysis of navigation patterns (so-called heat maps), which show the duration of page visits as well as interactions with page content (e.g., text entries, scrolling, clicks, and mouse-overs). Pseudonymization fundamentally precludes direct personal identification. There is no merging of this data with personally identifiable information collected by other means.

All processing described above—in particular, the retrieval or storage of information on the device you are using—will only take place if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR.

12) Retargeting/Remarketing and Conversion Tracking

12.1Meta Pixel

As part of our online services, we use the "Meta Pixel" service provided by the following company: Meta Platforms Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Dublin 2, Ireland ("Meta")

When a user clicks on an ad we've placed on Facebook and/or Instagram, "Meta Pixel" adds a parameter to the URL of our linked page. After the user is redirected, this URL parameter is then stored in the user's browser via a cookie set by our linked page itself.

This enables Meta, on the one hand, to identify visitors to our online platform as a target audience for displaying advertisements (so-called “ads”). Accordingly, we use this service to display the Facebook and/or Instagram ads we place only to users who have shown an interest in our online offering or who exhibit certain characteristics (e.g., interests in specific topics or products, determined based on the websites they have visited), which we transmit to Meta (so-called “Custom Audiences”).

On the other hand, the “Meta Pixel” can be used to track whether users were redirected to our website after clicking on an ad and what actions they take there (so-called “conversion tracking”).

The data we collect is anonymous to us, meaning it does not allow us to identify individual users. However, Meta stores and processes this data, which means it can be linked to the respective user profile, and Meta can use the data for its own advertising purposes.

All processing described above—in particular, the setting of cookies to read information from the device you are using—will only be carried out if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. You may revoke your consent at any time with future effect by deactivating this service in the “Cookie Consent Tool” provided on the website.

We have entered into a data processing agreement with the provider that ensures the protection of our website visitors' data and prohibits its unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

The information generated by Meta is generally transmitted to and stored on a Meta server; in this context, it may also be transmitted to servers operated by Meta Platforms Inc. in the United States.

12.2Adform

This website uses retargeting technology provided by the following vendor: Adform Germany GmbH, Großer Burstah 50-52, 20457 Hamburg, Germany

This allows us to target visitors to our website with personalized, interest-based advertising who have already shown an interest in our store and our products. The display of these advertisements is based on a cookie-based analysis of past and current usage behavior; however, no personal data is stored. When retargeting technology is used, a cookie is stored on your computer or mobile device to collect pseudonymized data about your interests and thus tailor the advertisements to the stored information. These cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer or mobile device. This ensures that you are shown advertisements that are highly likely to match your product and information interests.

All processing described above—in particular, the use of cookies to read information from the device you are using—will only take place if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. Without this consent, retargeting technology will not be used during your visit to the site.

You may revoke your consent at any time, effective for the future. To revoke your consent, please disable this service using the “Cookie Consent Tool” provided on the website.

12.3Google Ads Remarketing

This website uses retargeting technology provided by the following vendor: Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland

To this end, Google places a cookie in your device’s browser that automatically enables interest-based advertising using a pseudonymous cookie ID and based on the pages you have visited. Any further data processing takes place only if you have consented to Google linking your web and app browsing history to your Google Account and using information from your Google Account to personalize the ads you see on the web. In this case, if you are signed in to Google while visiting our website, Google uses your data in conjunction with Google Analytics data to create and define audience lists for cross-device remarketing. To do this, Google temporarily links your personal data with Google Analytics data to form audiences. As part of the use of Google Ads Remarketing, personal data may also be transferred to the servers of Google LLC in the United States.

You may revoke your consent at any time, effective for the future. To revoke your consent, please disable this service using the “Cookie Consent Tool” provided on the website.

12.7Google Ads Conversion Tracking

We use Google Ads to draw attention to our attractive offers on external websites through advertisements (known as Google AdWords). Based on the data from these advertising campaigns, we can determine how successful individual advertising measures are. Our goal is to show you ads that are of interest to you, make our website more appealing to you, and ensure a fair calculation of the associated advertising costs.

The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on a Google Ads ad. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your device. These cookies typically expire after 30 days and are not used to identify you personally. If the user visits certain pages on this website and the cookie has not yet expired, Google and we can recognize that the user clicked on the ad and was redirected to that page. Each Google Ads customer receives a different cookie. Cookies cannot therefore be tracked across the websites of Google Ads customers. The information collected using the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for Google Ads customers who have opted in to conversion tracking. Customers are informed of the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were redirected to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify users.

When using Google Ads, personal data may also be transferred to Google LLC's servers in the United States.

For details on the data processing triggered by Google Ads conversion tracking and on how Google handles data from websites, see here:https://policies.google.com/technologies/partner-sites

You can also permanently opt out of Google Ads conversion tracking by downloading and installing the Google browser plug-in available at the following link:
https://support.google.com/My-Ad-Center-Help/answer/12155656?hl=de

In order to deliver advertising that is even more tailored to the interests of users whose data we have received in the context of business or business-like relationships, we use a customer matching feature within Google Ads. To this end, we electronically transmit one or more files containing aggregated customer data (primarily email addresses and phone numbers) to Google. Google does not have access to plaintext data; instead, it automatically encrypts the information in the customer files during the transmission process using a special algorithm. Google can then use the encrypted information solely to associate it with existing Google accounts that the data subjects have set up. This enables the delivery of personalized advertising across all Google services linked to the respective Google account.

Customer data is transmitted to Google only if you have given us your explicit consent to do so in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR. You may revoke this consent at any time, effective for the future. Further information on Google’s data protection measures regarding the customer matching feature can be found here:https://support.google.com/google-ads/answer/6334160?hl=de&ref_topic=10550182

We use Google Ads to draw attention to our attractive offers on external websites through advertisements (known as Google AdWords). Based on the data from the advertising campaigns, we can determine how successful individual advertising measures are.

12.9Google Marketing Platform

This website uses the online marketing tool Google Marketing Platform, provided by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland ("GMP").

GMP uses cookies to display ads relevant to users, improve campaign performance reports, or prevent users from seeing the same ads multiple times. Using a cookie ID, Google tracks which ads are displayed in which browser and can thus prevent them from being shown multiple times. In addition, GMP uses cookie IDs to track so-called conversions related to ad requests. This is the case, for example, when a user sees a GMP ad and later, while using the same browser, visits the advertiser’s website and makes a purchase through that website. According to Google, GMP cookies do not contain any personally identifiable information.
Due to the marketing tools used, your browser automatically establishes a direct connection to Google’s server.

We have no control over the scope and further use of the data collected by Google through the use of this tool and therefore provide you with the following information to the best of our knowledge: By integrating GMP, Google receives the information that you have accessed the relevant part of our website or clicked on one of our ads. If you are registered with a Google service, Google can associate your visit with your account. Even if you are not registered with Google or are not logged in, it is possible that the provider may obtain and store your IP address. When using GMP, personal data may also be transmitted to the servers of Google LLC in the United States.

You can find the GMP by Google privacy policy here:https://business.safety.google/intl/de/privacy/andhttps://www.google.de/policies/privacy/

12.10Microsoft Advertising Universal Event Tracking

This website uses conversion tracking technology provided by the following vendor: Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA

To enable Universal Event Tracking, a tag is embedded on every page of our website that interacts with the conversion cookie set by Microsoft. This interaction tracks user behavior on our website and sends the information collected in this way to Microsoft. The purpose of this is to statistically track and analyze certain predefined goals—such as purchases or leads—so that we can tailor the focus and content of our offerings to better match users’ interests. The tags are never used to personally identify users.

You may revoke your consent at any time, effective for the future. To revoke your consent, please disable this service using the “Cookie Consent Tool” provided on the website.

Data may also be transferred to: Google LLC, USA

The processing of personal data in connection with establishing a connection to the font provider will only take place if you have given us your explicit consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR.

14.2Cookie Consent Tool

This website uses a so-called “cookie consent tool” to obtain valid user consent for cookies and cookie-based applications that require consent. The “cookie consent tool” is displayed to users when they visit the site in the form of an interactive user interface, where they can grant consent for specific cookies and/or cookie-based applications by checking the appropriate boxes. When the tool is used, all cookies and services requiring consent are loaded only if the respective user grants the appropriate consent by checking the corresponding boxes. This ensures that such cookies are set on the user’s device only if consent has been granted.

The tool sets technically necessary cookies to save your cookie preferences. Personal user data is generally not processed in this process.

If, in individual cases, the storage, assigning, or logging cookie settings, this processing is carried out in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in legally compliant, user-specific, and user-friendly consent management for cookies and, consequently, in the legally compliant design of our website.

Another legal basis for the processing is Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR. As the data controller, we are legally obligated to make the use of non-technically necessary cookies contingent upon the user’s consent.

Where necessary, we have entered into a data processing agreement with the provider to ensure the protection of our website visitors' data and to prohibit its unauthorized disclosure to third parties.

For more information about the operator and the settings options for the cookie consent tool, please refer directly to the corresponding user interface on our website.

IF YOU EXERCISE YOUR RIGHT TO OBJECT, WE WILL CEASE PROCESSING THE DATA IN QUESTION. HOWEVER, WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO CONTINUE PROCESSING IF WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR IF THE PROCESSING IS NECESSARY FOR THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS.

16) Retention Period for Personal Data

The duration of the storage of personal data is determined by the respective legal basis, the purpose of processing, and—where applicable—the respective statutory retention period (e.g., retention periods under commercial and tax law).

When processing personal data based on explicit consent pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR, the data in question will be stored until you withdraw your consent.

If there are statutory retention periods for data processed in connection with contractual or quasi-contractual obligations pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, such data is routinely deleted upon expiration of the retention periods, provided that it is no longer necessary for the performance or initiation of a contract and/or we no longer have a legitimate interest in continuing to store it.

When processing personal data on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, this data will be stored until you exercise your right to object under Article 21(1) of the GDPR, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.

When processing personal data for the purpose of direct marketing pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR, this data will be stored until you exercise your right to object under Article 21(2) of the GDPR.

Unless otherwise specified in the other information contained in this statement regarding specific processing situations, stored personal data will otherwise be deleted when it is no longer necessary for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed.
