Data processing is lawful, if you have given your consent to the processing of your personal data for one or more specific purposes (e.g. advertisement and marketing, data transfer). This consent can be revoked at any time, including for data for which you have given your consent to processing prior to the introduction of the GDPR.

Processing of personal data is lawful if it is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject. Such obligations might arise in connection with tax law, anti-money laundering legislation, identity and age checks, etc.

In addition to the processing of data indicated above, personal data is processed by us in order to pursue legitimate interests. Such interests are, for example:

With whom does the Controller share my personal data?
Within our corporate group, only persons who need your personal data in order to perform a specific task - in particular in connection with contractual or legal obligations - have access to this information.

We might transfer personal data to:
▪ Banks / financial institutions

If you have given your consent to the transfer of your personal data to specific bodies or organisations, such transfers are also deemed lawful.
Is personal data transferred to third countries?
No. All personal data is processed in the Federal Republic of Germany.
For how long is personal data stored?
Your personal data is stored for as long as is required in order to meet our contractual or legal obligations.
Subsequently, your data is permanently erased, unless we are obliged by law to store your data for a statutory retention period, if the data is required for the assertion of legal claims, or if you have consented to its retention for a longer period of time.

If the processing of your personal data is based on consent, you have the right to withdraw your consent at any time. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
You are entitled to object, on grounds relating to your particular situation, at any time to the
processing of your personal data. In such a case, we shall no longer process your personal data unless we demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
If you wish to make use of any of your rights, please contact us or our data protection officer (for contact details, see above).
What are my duties as a data subject?
If you enter into a contract with us, you must provide us with the personal data we need to fulfil the contract or to meet our statutory obligations.

If this data is not made available to us, we might be forced to terminate the contract.
Does the Controller use profiling and automated decision making?
No, we do neither use any Profiling nor automated decision making.
