Social media companies use your usage behavior to collect so-called “data”. This is usually done by storing cookies on your computer.

The processing of personal data for specific purposes (e.g., disclosure of data to third parties, analysis of data for marketing purposes) is lawful based on your consent, provided you have given it to us in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. You may withdraw your consent at any time.

Please note that the withdrawal of consent is only effective for the future. Processing that took place before the withdrawal remains unaffected.

If you have given social media companies your consent to specific data processing, the processing is based on Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR.

We are also subject to legal requirements. Insofar as data is processed in this context, it is done exclusively on the basis of legal regulations.

Contacting Us and Email Inquiries

If you contact us via our contact form or email, the information you provide in the form or email, including your contact details, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing your inquiry and for any follow-up questions. Providing an email address and your name is required for us to contact you. This data will not be shared without your consent. We process your data based on our legitimate interest in responding to your inquiries, in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) GDPR and, if applicable, Article 6(1)(b) GDPR if your inquiry relates to entering into a contract. After your inquiry has been processed, your data will be deleted unless there are legal obligations to retain it. You may object to the processing of your data at any time in the case of processing based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Administration, Financial Accounting, Office Organization, Contact Management

We process data for administrative tasks, the organization of our business, financial accounting, and compliance with legal obligations, such as archiving. This involves processing the same data that we process when providing our contractual services. The legal basis for this processing is Article 6(1)(c) GDPR and Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. The data affected by this processing includes customers, prospective customers, business partners, and website visitors. The purpose of the processing is administration, financial accounting, office organization, data archiving, fulfilling our obligations, and providing our services. To ensure this, data might be shared with the tax authorities, consultants (e.g., tax advisors or auditors), and other fee-collecting agencies and payment service providers upon their request. Based on our legitimate business interests, information about suppliers, event organizers, and other business partners is also stored for potential future contact.

Duration of Personal Data Storage

To the extent permitted by law, we process and store your personal data, in particular for as long as this is necessary to fulfill the respective purposes and no statutory retention obligations prevent its deletion. If the data is not deleted because it is required for other legally permissible purposes, its processing will be restricted. This means that the data will be blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies in particular to data that must be retained for commercial or tax law reasons. Due to legal requirements, books, records, management reports, accounting documents, ledgers, and tax-relevant documents are retained for 10 years in accordance with Sections 147 Paragraph 1 of the German Fiscal Code (AO) and 257 Paragraph 1 Numbers 1 and 4, Paragraph 4 of the German Commercial Code (HGB). A 6-year retention period applies to commercial correspondence in accordance with Section 257 Paragraph 1 Numbers 2 and 3, Paragraph 4 of the German Commercial Code (HGB).
