You can object to the use of your personal data for advertising purposes at any time altogether or for individual measures, without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs that apply in accordance with the basic rates.

You will receive these product recommendations from us regardless of whether you have subscribed to a newsletter. If you do not wish to receive such recommendations by e-mail from us, you may object to the use of your address for this purpose at any time without incurring any costs other than the transmission costs that apply in accordance with the basic rates. A written communication is sufficient for this purpose. Of course, every e-mail always includes an unsubscribe link.

5. Who receives my data?
If we use a service provider with a view to processing an order, we nevertheless remain responsible for the protection of your data. All order processors are contractually obliged to treat your data confidentially and to process it solely within the framework of the service provision. The order processors commissioned by us will receive your data if they need the data to perform their respective service. These include, for example, IT service providers, who we need to operate and maintain the security of our IT system, as well as advertising and address publishers for our own promotions. Your data is processed in our customer database. The customer database helps to increase the data quality of existing customer data (duplicate clean-ups, moved to new address/deceased identifier, correction of addresses), and allows enrichment with data from public sources. This data will be made available to the Group companies provided this is necessary for the execution of the contract. Customer data is stored on a company-specific basis and separately, whereby our parent company acts as a service provider for the individual participating companies. Authorities and courts as well as external auditors may be recipients of your data if there is a pertinent legal obligation in place in this regard or if this is necessary within the framework of legal proceedings. In addition, for the purpose of initiating and fulfilling the contract, insurance companies, banks, credit agencies and service providers may be recipients of your data.

6. How long will my data be stored for?
We process your data until the end of the business relationship or until the applicable statutory retention periods expire (e.g. those arising from the German Commercial Code, the German Tax Code, or The Working Time Act); furthermore, up to the termination of any legal disputes in which the data is required as evidence.

7. Will personal data be transferred to a third country?
In principle, we do not transmit any data to a third country. Data will only be transferred in individual cases on the basis of an adequacy decision of the European Commission, standard contractual clauses, appropriate guarantees or your express consent.

8. What data protection rights do I have?

You can ask us to delete your data if we are processing it unlawfully or if the processing disproportionately interferes with your legitimate protection interests. Please note that there may be reasons that prevent immediate deletion, e.g. if there are statutory retention obligations in place. Irrespective of whether you choose to exercise your right to have your data deleted, we will delete your data immediately and completely, unless there is a contractual or statutory retention obligation in force in this regard.

Right to restrict processing:
You can ask us to restrict the processing of your data if:
- you dispute the accuracy of the data for a period of time that allows us to verify the accuracy of the data.
- the processing of the data is unlawful, but you refuse to have it deleted, and instead request a restriction of its use,
- we no longer need the data for the intended purpose, but you still need this data to assert or defend legal claims, or
- you have lodged an objection to the processing of the data.

Right to data portability:
You can ask us to supply you with the data you have provided to us in a structured, standard and machine-readable format and to allow you to transfer this data to another responsible party without obstruction by us, if
- we are processing this data on the basis of your granted and revocable consent or to fulfil a contract between us, and
- this processing is carried out using automated procedures.
If it is technically feasible, you can ask us to transfer your data directly to another responsible party.

Right of objection:
If we process your data for legitimate interest, you can object to this data processing at any time; this would also apply to profiling based on these provisions.

Right of appeal:
If you believe that we are in breach of German or European data protection laws when processing your data, please contact us in order to clarify any questions.

9. Am I obliged to provide data?

However, you are not obliged to give consent to your data being processed with regard to data that is not relevant or legally required for the performance of the contract.
