If necessary, we process your data beyond the actual fulfilment of the contract to protect the legitimate interests of us or third parties. Examples for such cases are:

We process and store your personal data as long as this is necessary to fulfil our contractual and legal obligations. If the data are no longer required for the fulfilment of contractual or legal obligations, they are regularly deleted.

There are exceptions,

  • as far as legal storage obligations are to be fulfilled, e.g. Commercial Code (HGB) and Tax Code (AO). The periods for storage and documentation specified there are usually six to ten years;
  • for the preservation of evidence within the framework 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.
  • Further periods, if applicable.
 
If the data processing takes place in the legitimate interest of us or a third party, the personal data will be deleted as soon as this interest no longer exists. The exceptions mentioned apply here.
