Within our organization, those employees have access to your data, which they need to fulfill our contractual and legal obligations. Even service providers and vicarious agents employed by us may receive data for this purpose if they maintain the corresponding secret. With regard to the transfer of data to recipients outside of our company, it should first of all be noted that we as a company undertake to maintain secrecy about all customer-related facts and evaluations from which we become aware. We may only disclose information about you if statutory provisions so dictate, if you have approved or if we are obliged to provide information by law.

Your personal data may be transferred to a country or territory outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”) and then stored and retrieved there.

In particular, we may disclose your personal information to our subsidiaries outside the EEA, including Japan. We ensure that the transfer of personal data to foreign countries takes appropriate security precautions in accordance with GDPR. You can request a copy of the security documents concerned.

6.    How long will my data be stored?

We process and store your personal data as long as it is necessary for the fulfillment of our contractual and legal obligations, or you have given us your approval for longer storage. If the data is no longer required for the fulfillment of contractual or legal obligations, these data are deleted on a regular basis, unless their – temporary – further processing is required for the following purposes:

  • Fulfillment of commercial and tax-related retention requirements: the Commercial Code (HGB), the Tax Code (AO), the Money Laundering Act (GwG). The deadlines for storage and documentation are between two and ten years.
  • Preservation of evidence in the context of the statutory statute of limitations. According to §§ 195 ff. Of the German Civil Code (BGB), these limitation periods can be up to 30 years, whereby the regular limitation period is 3 years.

Each affected person has the right to information (Art. 15 GDPR), the right to data correction (Art. 16 GDPR), the right to delete data (Art. 17 GDPR), the right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GDPR), the right to contradict (Art. 21 GDPR) and the right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR).

In addition, there is a right of appeal to a competent data protection supervisory authority (article 77 GDPR in conjunction with section 19 BDSG).

This also applies to the revocation of declarations of consent that were issued to us before the validity of the General Data Protection Regulation before 25.05.2018. Please note that the revocation only works for the future. Processing that occurred before the revocation is not affected.
