If you are an EEA resident, we will transfer your data to another country (outside EEA) only if it is ensured that the recipient of the data guarantees an adequate level of data protection and that there are no other interests worthy of protection against the data transfer.

WHAT ARE THE LEGAL BASIS FOR COLLECTING YOUR PERSONAL DATA?

Under GDPR we must process your data using one of the following legal bases:

  1. Article 6 I lit. a GDPR - the data subject has given consent to the processing of his or her personal data for one or more specific purposes - serves our company as the legal basis for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. 
  2. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of another service or consideration, the processing is based on Article 6 I lit. b GDPR - processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services. 
  3. If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which a processing of personal data becomes necessary, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR - processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject
  4. In rare cases, the processing of personal data might become necessary to protect vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were to be injured on our premises and as a result his or her name, age, health insurance data or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6 I lit. d GDPR - processing is necessary in order to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person
  5. Finally, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f GDPR - processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data, in particular where the data subject is a child. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject are not overridden. Such processing operations are permitted to us in particular because they were specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller.

For the purposes of PDPA we use your consent as a basis for collection and processing of your personal data.
