Processing of your data within the framework of the craft services provided by us

If you are our customer or business partner or are interested in the services of our craft business, the type, scope and purpose of the processing of your data depends on the contractual or pre-contractual relationship existing between us. In this sense, the data we process includes all those data that we request from you or that you provide to us in order to answer your inquiry, provide you with an offer or process your order. Unless otherwise stated in the further notes of this data protection declaration, the processing of your data as well as its transfer to third parties is limited to those data that are necessary and appropriate to answer your inquiries and/or to fulfill the contract concluded between you and us, to protect our rights as well as to fulfill legal obligations. We will inform you which data is required for this before or during the data collection. Insofar as we use third-party providers to provide our services, the data protection notices of the respective third-party providers apply.

Data concerned:

  • Inventory data (e.g. names, addresses)
  • Payment data (e.g. bank details, invoices)
  • Contact data (e.g. e-mail address, telephone number, postal address)
  • Contract data (e.g. subject matter of the contract, duration of the contract)

Affected persons: Interested parties, business and contractual partners

Purpose of processing: processing of contractual services, communication as well as answering contact requests, office and organization procedures.

Legal basis: Contract fulfillment and pre-contractual requests, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, legal obligation, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR, legitimate interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR

Your rights under the GDPR

According to the GDPR, you are entitled to the rights listed below, which you can exercise at any time by contacting the controller named in section 1. of this privacy policy:

  • Right to information: You have the right to request information from us about whether and what data we process from you.
  • Right to rectification: You have the right to request the rectification of inaccurate or completion of incomplete data.
  • Right to erasure: You have the right to request the erasure of your data.
  • Right to restriction: In certain cases, you have the right to request that we only process your data in a restricted manner.
  • Right to data portability: You have the right to request that we transfer your data to you or another responsible party in a structured, common and machine-readable format.
  • Right to complain: You have the right to complain to a supervisory authority. The supervisory authority of your usual place of residence, your workplace or our company headquarters is responsible.

Right of withdrawal

You have the right to revoke your consent to data processing at any time.

Right of objection

You have the right to object at any time to the processing of your data, which we base on our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, to object to the processing of personal data. If you exercise your right to object, please explain the reasons. We will then no longer process your personal data unless we can prove to you that compelling reasons worthy of protection for the data processing outweigh your interests and rights.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of your personal data for the purposes of advertising and data analysis.

Please address your objection to the contact address of the responsible person indicated above.

When do we delete your data?

We delete your data when we no longer need it or when you instruct us to do so. This means that – unless otherwise stated in the individual data protection notices of this data protection declaration – we will delete your data,

  • if the purpose of the data processing has ceased to exist and thus the respective legal basis stated in the individual data protection notices no longer exists, for example.
    • after termination of the contractual or membership relations existing between us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR) or
    • after our legitimate interest in the further processing or storage of your data has ceased to exist (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR),
  • if you exercise your right of withdrawal and there is no other legal basis for processing within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b-f GDPR intervenes,
  • if you exercise your right to object and there are no compelling reasons worthy of protection against the deletion.

However, if we need to retain (certain parts of) your data for other purposes, for example because tax retention periods (generally 6 years for business correspondence or 10 years for accounting records) or the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims arising from contractual relationships (up to four years) make this necessary, or if the data is needed to protect the rights of another natural person or legal entity, we will delete (that part of) your data only after these periods have expired. However, until these periods expire, we limit the processing of this data to these purposes (fulfillment of retention obligations).
