Recipients of personal data
As part of our business activities, we work together with various external organisations. In some cases, it is also necessary to transfer personal data to these external organisations. We only pass on personal data to external bodies if this is necessary for the fulfilment of a contract, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g. passing on data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the transfer in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR or if another legal basis permits the transfer of data. When using processors, we only pass on our customers' personal data on the basis of a valid contract for order processing. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.
Revocation of your consent to data processing
Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can withdraw your consent at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
Right to object to the collection of data in special cases and to direct marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)
IF THE DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6 ABS. 1 LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA AT ANY TIME ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR PERSONAL DATA CONCERNED UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENCE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 PARA. 1 GDPR).
IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA ARE PROCESSED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING TO THE EXTENT THAT IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR THE PURPOSE OF DIRECT MARKETING (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 PARA. 2 GDPR).
Right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority
In the event of infringements of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.
Right to data portability
You have the right to have data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfilment of a contract handed over to you or to a third party in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.
Information, correction and deletion
Within the framework of the applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient and the purpose of the data processing and, if necessary, a right to correction or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time if you have further questions on the subject of personal data.
Right to restriction of processing
You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time to do this. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
If you dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we generally need time to check this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request that the processing of your personal data be restricted.
If the processing of your personal data was/is unlawful, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of erasure.
If we no longer need your personal data, but you need it for the exercise, defence or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of its erasure.
If you have lodged an objection in accordance with Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balance must be struck between your interests and ours. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data - apart from its storage - may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or of a Member State.
SSL or TLS encryption
This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or enquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognise an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from "http://" to "https://" and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
If SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Objection to advertising e-mails
We hereby object to the use of contact data published as part of our obligation to provide a legal notice for the purpose of sending unsolicited advertising and information material. The operators of the website expressly reserve the right to take legal action in the event of the unsolicited sending of advertising information, such as spam e-mails.

Cookies
Our Internet pages use so-called "cookies". Cookies are small data packets and do not cause any damage to your end device. They are stored on your device either temporarily for the duration of a session (session cookies) or permanently (permanent cookies). Session cookies are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Permanent cookies remain stored on your end device until you delete them yourself or they are automatically deleted by your web browser.
Cookies may originate from us (first-party cookies) or from third-party companies (so-called third-party cookies). Third-party cookies enable the integration of certain services from third-party companies within websites (e.g. cookies for processing payment services).
Cookies have various functions. Many cookies are technically necessary, as certain website functions would not work without them (e.g. the shopping basket function or the display of videos). Other cookies can be used to analyse user behaviour or for advertising purposes.
Cookies that are required to carry out the electronic communication process, to provide certain functions that you have requested (e.g. for the shopping basket function) or to optimise the website (e.g. cookies to measure the web audience) (necessary cookies) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, unless another legal basis is specified. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the storage of necessary cookies for the technically error-free and optimised provision of its services. If consent to the storage of cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TDDDG); the consent can be revoked at any time.
You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general and activate the automatic deletion of cookies when closing the browser.

When you enter our website, a connection is established to the CCM19 servers in order to obtain your consent and other declarations regarding the use of cookies. CCM19 then stores a cookie in your browser in order to be able to assign the consents given or their revocation to you. The data collected in this way is stored until you ask us to delete it, delete the CCM19 cookie yourself or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Mandatory statutory retention obligations remain unaffected.
CCM19 is used to obtain the legally required consent for the use of cookies. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c GDPR.
We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) for the use of the above-mentioned service. This is a contract prescribed by data protection law, which guarantees that it processes the personal data of our website visitors only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

The provider of the pages automatically collects and stores information in so-called server log files, which your browser automatically transmits to us. These are
Browser type and browser version
Operating system used
Referrer URL
Host name of the accessing computer
Time of the server request
IP address
This data is not merged with other data sources.
This data is collected on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimisation of its website - the server log files must be recorded for this purpose.
Contact form
If you send us enquiries via the contact form, your details from the enquiry form, including the contact details you provide there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the enquiry and in the event of follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent.
This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR if your enquiry is related to the fulfilment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this has been requested; consent can be revoked at any time.
We will retain the data you provide on the contact form until you request its deletion, revoke your consent for its storage, or the purpose for its storage no longer pertains (e.g. after fulfilling your request). Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.
Use of artificial intelligence (AI)
We use AI-supported software to process and respond to customer enquiries. The AI we use analyses the content of your message in order to autonomously or partially autonomously generate a suitable response or a suggested response. In this context, our AI processes all the content of your message, including names, email addresses, communication content or technical information (e.g. IP addresses, device information).
The AI software used is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in the most efficient customer communication possible using modern technical solutions.
We use the ‘ChatVusyon’ chatbot functions from avenit AG, Marlener Straße 2, 77656 Offenburg, Germany (hereinafter ‘avenit’) on our website. These enable you to ask questions and access relevant information on our website in a targeted manner. By integrating avenit's chatbot functions, we can offer you an interactive and optimised user experience.
When using the chatbot, a direct connection is established to an avenit and ChatVusyon server, whereby your IP address is transmitted for technical reasons. As soon as you enter a question in the chat, the corresponding data is transmitted to the avenit server and processed for answering. In doing so, avenit uses technologies from the service provider OpenAI, L.L.C., 3180 18th Street, San Francisco, CA, USA (hereinafter ‘OpenAI’). As a result, the data entered is also forwarded to OpenAI and processed there, possibly on servers in the USA. Further information on data processing by OpenAI can be found at: openai.com/policies/privacy-policy.
The processing of personal data is used solely for the purpose of processing your requests. Our legitimate interest (Art. 6 I f GDPR) in this processing lies in providing an efficient and user-friendly chatbot function. If you have given your consent to the data processing, this is done on the basis of Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 point (a) GDPR and Section 25 (1) TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user's end device within the meaning of the TDDDG. The consent can be revoked at any time. If your request is aimed at concluding or executing a contract, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b) GDPR provides an additional legal basis. Otherwise, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR.
If personal data is processed outside the EU or the EEA or transferred to the USA, this is based on the contract concluded between avenit and OpenAI, incorporating the standard contractual clauses adopted by the EU Commission on 4 June 2021 in accordance with Art. 46 (2) (c) GDPR. Further information can be found at: openai.com/policies/data-processing-addendum
The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected, unless otherwise required by law.
We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider named above. This is a contract that is required under data protection law and ensures that the provider processes personal data only in accordance with our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.

If you deactivate cookies, the functionality of this website may be limited.
Cookies that are required for the performance of the electronic communications transaction or to provide certain functions you want to use, are stored on the basis of Art. 6 Sect. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies to ensure the technically error free and optimised provision of the operator's services.
Enquiry by e-mail, telephone or fax
If you contact us by e-mail, telephone or fax, your enquiry including all personal data (name, enquiry) will be stored and processed by us for the purpose of processing your request. We will not pass on this data without your consent.
This data is processed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR if your enquiry is related to the fulfilment of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interest in the effective processing of the enquiries addressed to us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR) or on your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) if this has been requested; consent can be revoked at any time.

5. Analysis tools and advertising
Google Tag Manager
We use the Google Tag Manager. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Tag Manager is a tool that enables us to integrate tracking or statistical tools and other technologies on our website. The Google Tag Manager itself does not create any user profiles, does not store any cookies and does not carry out any independent analyses. It is only used to manage and display the tools integrated via it. However, Google Tag Manager records your IP address, which may also be transmitted to Google's parent company in the United States.
The Google Tag Manager is used on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the fast and uncomplicated integration and management of various tools on its website. If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user's terminal device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time.
The company is certified in accordance with the "EU-US Data Privacy Framework" (DPF). The DPF is an agreement between the European Union and the USA that is intended to ensure compliance with European data protection standards for data processing in the USA.

Google Analytics
This website uses functions of the web analysis service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited ("Google"), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland.
Google Analytics enables the website operator to analyse the behaviour of website visitors. In doing so, the website operator receives various usage data, such as page views, length of visit, operating systems used and origin of the user. This data is assigned to the user's end device. It is not assigned to a user ID.
We can also use Google Analytics to record your mouse and scroll movements and clicks, among other things. Google Analytics also uses various modelling approaches to supplement the recorded data records and uses machine learning technologies for data analysis.
Google Analytics uses technologies that enable the recognition of the user for the purpose of analysing user behaviour (e.g. cookies or device fingerprinting). The information collected by Google about the use of this website is generally transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there.

Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to analyse your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide the website operator with other services relating to website activity and internet usage. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.

Hotjar is a tool for analysing your user behaviour on this website. Hotjar allows us to record your mouse and scroll movements and clicks, among other things. Hotjar can also determine how long you remain with the mouse pointer in a certain place. Hotjar uses this information to create so-called heat maps, which can be used to determine which website areas are favoured by website visitors.
Furthermore, we can determine how long you stayed on a page and when you left it. We can also determine at which point you cancelled your entries in a contact form (so-called conversion funnels).
Hotjar can also be used to obtain direct feedback from website visitors. This function serves to improve the website operator's web offerings.
Hotjar uses technologies that enable the recognition of the user for the purpose of analysing user behaviour (e.g. cookies or the use of device fingerprinting).

LinkedIn Insight Tag
This website uses the LinkedIn Insight tag. The provider of this service is LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland.
Data processing by LinkedIn Insight Tag
With the help of the LinkedIn Insight Tag, we receive information about the visitors to our website. If a website visitor is registered with LinkedIn, we can, among other things, analyse the key professional data (e.g. career level, company size, country, location, industry and job title) of our website visitors and thus better tailor our site to the respective target groups. We can also use LinkedIn Insight Tags to measure whether visitors to our websites make a purchase or take another action (conversion measurement). Conversion measurement can also be carried out across devices (e.g. from PC to tablet). LinkedIn Insight Tag also offers a retargeting function that we can use to display targeted advertising to visitors to our website outside the website, whereby, according to LinkedIn, no identification of the advertising addressee takes place.
LinkedIn itself also collects log files (URL, referrer URL, IP address, device and browser properties and time of access). The IP addresses are shortened or (if they are used to reach LinkedIn members across devices) hashed (pseudonymised). The direct identifiers of LinkedIn members are deleted by LinkedIn after seven days. The remaining pseudonymised data is then deleted within 180 days.
The data collected by LinkedIn cannot be assigned to specific individuals by us as the website operator. LinkedIn will store the personal data collected from website visitors on its servers in the USA and use it for its own advertising purposes. Details can be found in LinkedIn's privacy policy at https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy#choices-oblig.
Legal basis
If consent has been obtained, the above-mentioned service is used exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 TDDDG. Consent can be revoked at any time.

No further data is collected, or only on a voluntary basis. We use this data exclusively for sending the requested information and do not pass it on to third parties.
The data entered in the newsletter registration form is processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR). You can revoke your consent to the storage of the data, the e-mail address and its use for sending the newsletter at any time, for example via the "unsubscribe" link in the newsletter. The legality of the data processing operations that have already taken place remains unaffected by the cancellation.
The data you provide us with for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored by us or the newsletter service provider until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and deleted from the newsletter distribution list after you unsubscribe from the newsletter or after the purpose no longer applies. We reserve the right to delete or block e-mail addresses from our newsletter distribution list at our own discretion within the scope of our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.
Data stored by us for other purposes remains unaffected by this.
After you unsubscribe from the newsletter distribution list, your e-mail address may be stored by us or the newsletter service provider in a blacklist if this is necessary to prevent future mailings. The data from the blacklist will only be used for this purpose and will not be merged with other data. This serves both your interest and our interest in complying with the legal requirements when sending newsletters (legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR). Storage in the blacklist is not limited in time. You can object to the storage if your interests outweigh our legitimate interest.
Sending newsletters to existing customers
If you order goods or services from us and enter your e-mail address, this e-mail address may subsequently be used by us to send you newsletters, provided we inform you of this in advance. In such a case, only direct advertising for our own similar goods or services will be sent via the newsletter. You can cancel the sending of this newsletter at any time. There is a corresponding link in every newsletter for this purpose. In this case, the legal basis for sending the newsletter is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR in conjunction with Section 7 para. 3 UWG.

If you are logged in to your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to assign your surfing behaviour directly to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account.
We use YouTube in extended data protection mode. According to YouTube, videos that are played in extended data protection mode are not used to personalise surfing on YouTube. Ads that are played in extended data protection mode are also not personalised. No cookies are set in extended data protection mode. Instead, so-called local storage elements are stored in the user's browser, which contain personal data similar to cookies and can be used to recognise the user. Details on the extended data protection mode can be found here: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/171780.
After activating a YouTube video, further data processing operations may be triggered over which we have no influence.
The use of YouTube is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offers. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user's terminal device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG.

The data collected during the analysis is forwarded to Google.
The reCAPTCHA analyses run completely in the background. Website visitors are not informed that an analysis is taking place.
The data is stored and analysed on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in protecting its website from abusive automated spying and SPAM. If a corresponding consent has been requested, the processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR and § 25 para. 1 TDDDG, insofar as the consent includes the storage of cookies or access to information in the user's terminal device (e.g. device fingerprinting) within the meaning of the TDDDG.

Our social media presence
This privacy policy applies to the following social media sites
https://www.linkedin.com/company/ptw-
https://www.youtube.com/user/PTWdosimetry
Data processing by social networks
We maintain publicly accessible profiles on social networks. The individual social networks we use are listed below.
Social networks such as Facebook, X etc. can generally analyse your user behaviour comprehensively when you visit their website or a website with integrated social media content (e.g. like buttons or advertising banners). Visiting our social media presences triggers numerous data protection-relevant processing operations. In detail:
If you are logged into your social media account and visit our social media presence, the operator of the social media portal can assign this visit to your user account. However, your personal data may also be collected if you are not logged in or do not have an account with the respective social media portal. In this case, this data collection takes place, for example, via cookies that are stored on your end device or by recording your IP address.
With the help of the data collected in this way, the operators of the social media portals can create user profiles in which your preferences and interests are stored. In this way, interest-based advertising can be displayed to you inside and outside the respective social media presence. If you have an account with the respective social network, the interest-based advertising can be displayed on all devices on which you are logged in or were logged in.
Please also note that we cannot track all processing operations on the social media portals. Depending on the provider, further processing operations may therefore be carried out by the operators of the social media portals. For details, please refer to the terms of use and data protection provisions of the respective social media portals.
Legal basis
Our social media presence is intended to ensure the widest possible presence on the internet. This is a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The analysis processes initiated by the social networks may be based on different legal bases, which must be specified by the operators of the social networks (e.g. consent within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR).
Responsible party and assertion of rights
If you visit one of our social media sites (e.g. Facebook), we are jointly responsible with the operator of the social media platform for the data processing operations triggered during this visit. You can assert your rights (information, rectification, erasure, restriction of processing, data portability and complaint) both against us and against the operator of the respective social media portal (e.g. against Facebook).
Please note that, despite our joint responsibility with the social media portal operators, we do not have full control over the data processing operations of the social media portals. Our options are largely determined by the company policy of the respective provider.
Storage duration
The data collected directly by us via the social media presence will be deleted from our systems as soon as you ask us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for data storage no longer applies. Stored cookies remain on your end device until you delete them. Mandatory statutory provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.
We have no influence on the storage period of your data that is stored by the operators of the social networks for their own purposes. For details, please contact the operators of the social networks directly (e.g. in their privacy policy, see below).
Your rights
You have the right to receive information about the origin, recipient and purpose of your stored personal data free of charge at any time. You also have the right to object, the right to data portability and the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. Furthermore, you can request the rectification, blocking, erasure and, under certain circumstances, the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

Following data of business partners and interested parties concerned are processed:

• communications data of contact persons (e.g. mail, telephone)
• professional position/field of activity of contact persons
• Resumes of external consultants with special functions related to clinical assessments
4. Where does the data come from (data source)?
Generally the data is collected directly from the data subject, e.g.:
• Collecting contact details for the preparation of a tender or other matters concerning an order/project,
• Collecting contact details for the purpose of enquiries with suppliers.
• Data that is not collected directly from the data subject can be, for example, the following:
• Provision of contact information about partner companies on whose behalf the company is operating.
5. What are the data processed for and on what legal basis?
Personal data may be processed if a legal basis for the processing exists. Data of business partners and interested parties are processed on the basis of the following legal basis:
5.1.
Compliance with contractual obligations: Personal data are processed for the implementation of the contractual agreement, e.g. the provision of services from an order. This also includes pre-contractual measures, such as tender preparation.
5.2.
Compliance with legal obligations: A large number of legal regulations must be observed in connection with the provision of services or the initiation of contracts. These include for example:
• Statuary storage obligations for the company pursuant to the German Commercial Code (HGB) and the General Tax Code (AO)
• Possible liability and warranty claims
5.3.
Legitimate interest of the person responsible: Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the company, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data.
5.4.
Consent: Consent is legal basis for data processing provided that the data subject has given consent to the processing of his or her personal data. Consent can be withdrawn at any time. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
6. To whom is personal data passed on?
Within the framework of contract initiation and service provision, data is regularly passed on to third parties domiciled within the European Union (EU). The processing there takes place on our behalf and according to our instructions.
A data transfer to places in states outside the EU or the European Economic Area (EEA) - so-called third countries - takes place if it is necessary for the execution of an order/contract, if it is required by law (e.g. tax reporting obligations), if it is in the context of a legitimate interest or if consent has been given. The processing of personal data in a third country may also take place in connection with the involvement of service providers in the context of order processing. If the EU Commission has not decided on an appropriate level of data protection for the country in question, appropriate contracts will be concluded in accordance with EU data protection regulations to ensure that the rights and freedoms of business partners and interested parties are adequately protected and guaranteed.
7. How long is personal data stored?
The company must comply with the legal requirements when initiating and executing contracts. The statuary retention period for accounting and tax-relevant documents is generally 10 years. There is a 6-year storage obligation for commercial letters, regardless of whether they are in paper form or digital (e-mail). Regardless of the retention periods, it is ensured at all times that only authorized employees have access to the data. This applies to paper files and digital data in IT systems. The paper-based files are destroyed in accordance with data protection regulations and the data in IT systems is deleted within an appropriate period of time after the expiry of the statutory storage obligation.
8. What are the rights of the persons concerned?
The execution of the contract/service provision or the initiation of the contract generally requires the processing of personal data. In this respect, the rights of data subjects are to be guaranteed under certain conditions laid down in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):
8.1. Access
8.2. Rectification
8.3. Erasure / Right to be forgotten
8.4. Restriction
8.5. Objection
8.6. Right to data portability
8.7. Withdrawal of consent
8.8. Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
9. Is there an obligation to provide data?
Business partners and interested parties must provide the personal data required for the establishment, execution and termination of the contractual relationship or for the collection of which there is a legal obligation. Without provision of the data, it is not possible to conclude a contract or to carry out the tasks existing with the order/contract.
10. Is data used for automatic decision-making or profiling?
Within the framework of contract performance/service provision or contract initiation, no techniques are used which enable profiling pursuant to Article 4 No. 4 GDPR or automatic decision-making pursuant to Article 22 GDPR.
