Affected rights

You have the right,

  • In accordance with Article 15, GDPR, to request information about your personal data that we process. You can, in particular, request information about the processing purposes; category of the personal data; categories of recipients to whom your data have been or shall be disclosed; planned storage period; existence of a right to rectification, erasure, restriction of processing or the right to object; existence of a right to lodge a complaint; origin of your data, provided these have not been collected by us, and the existence of automatic decision-making, including profiling and, where applicable, significant information about individual details in that respect.
  • In accordance with Section 16, GDPR, you may request rectification, without delay, of incorrect personal data or the completion of your incomplete personal data stored by us;
  • In accordance with Article 17, GDPR, to request erasure of your personal data stored by us provided the processing is not required to exercise the right of freedom of expression and information, honour a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims;
  • In accordance with Article 18, GDPR, to request restriction of the processing of your personal data provided you contest the accuracy of the data, the processing is unlawful, but you reject erasure of such data and we no longer require the data but you require such data for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, or in accordance with Article 21, GDPR, you have lodged an objection against the processing;
  • In accordance with Article 20 GDPR, to receive the personal data concerning you, which you have made available to us, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, or request forwarding to another controller, and

For what period are your data stored?

We process and store your personal data as long as you are authorised to represent the respective legal person in dealings with us. If the data are no longer required to honour contractual or statutory obligations, they are normally erased unless the, limited, further-processing of such data is necessary in the following cases:

  • Honouring commercial and tax law storage periods: the German Commercial Code and the German Tax Code are cited as examples. The periods specified therein for storage or documentation range between two and ten years.
  • Maintaining evidence as part of the limitation period requirements. In accordance with Sections 195 et seq. of the German Civil Code (BGB), these limitation periods may run to 30 years, whereby the normal limitation period is three years.

 

Erasing data

Insofar as your wish does not conflict with a statutory obligation to store data (e.g. data retention), you shall be entitled to the erasure of your data. The data we store shall be erased if they are no longer required for the intended use, and statutory storage periods do not apply. If data cannot be erased because the data are required for permissible statutory purposes, the processing of such data shall be restricted. In such a case the data shall be blocked and not processed for other purposes.
