Deletion of data 

 

The data we process is deleted or restricted in accordance with Art. 17 and 18 GDPR. Unless expressly stated in this privacy policy, the data stored by us is deleted as soon as it is no longer required for its intended purpose and there are no statutory retention periods that prevent deletion. If the data is not deleted because it is required for other legally permissible purposes, its processing will be restricted. This means that the data is blocked and not processed for other purposes. This applies, for example, to data that must be retained for commercial or tax law reasons. 

According to legal requirements in Germany, the storage period is in particular for 10 years in accordance with Section 147 Para. 1 AO, 257 Para. 1 No. 1 and 4, Para. 4 HGB (books, records, management reports, accounting documents, commercial books, documents relevant for taxation, etc.) and 6 years in accordance with Section 257 Para. 1 No. 2 and 3, Para. 4 HGB (commercial letters). 

Agency services 

 

We process our customers’ data as part of our contractual services, which include conceptual and strategic consulting, campaign planning, software and design development/consulting or maintenance, implementation of campaigns and processes/handling, server administration, data analysis/consulting services and training services. 

We process inventory data (e.g. customer master data such as names or addresses), contact data (e.g. e-mail, telephone numbers), content data (e.g. text entries, photographs, videos), contract data (e.g. subject matter of the contract, term), payment data (e.g. bank details, payment history), usage and metadata (e.g. in the context of the evaluation and measurement of the success of marketing measures). We generally do not process special categories of personal data unless these are part of a commissioned processing. Those affected include our customers, interested parties and their customers, users, website visitors or employees as well as third parties. The purpose of the processing is to provide contractual services, billing and our customer service. The legal basis for the processing arises from Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR (contractual services), Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR (analysis, statistics, optimization, security measures). We process data that is necessary to justify and fulfil the contractual services and point out the necessity of providing it. Disclosure to external parties only occurs if it is necessary within the scope of an order. When processing the data provided to us within the scope of an order, we act in accordance with the instructions of the client and the legal requirements for order processing in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR and do not process the data for any purposes other than those specified in the order. 

We will retain the data for analysis purposes; however, once the service agreement is signed, our data-sharing practices will be governed by the data agreement established with the service provider, which will take precedence in managing the exchange of information. 

We disclose or transmit data to the tax authorities, consultants such as tax consultants or auditors as well as other fee offices and payment service providers. 

Furthermore, we store information about suppliers, event organizers and other business partners based on our business interests, e.g. for the purpose of later contact. We generally store this data, which is mostly company-related, permanently. 

Hosting and email sending 

 

We collect email subscriptions for the purpose of contacting our customers who have opted in to receive information about industry-related updates and offers. Our hosting services provide infrastructure and platform services, computing capacity, storage space, database services, email sending, security, and technical maintenance necessary for operating this online offering. 

In this context, we or our hosting provider may process inventory data, contact data, content data, contract data, usage data, and meta and communication data of customers, interested parties, and visitors. This processing is based on our legitimate interests in the efficient and secure provision of our online services, in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR and Art. 28 GDPR (data processing agreement). 

You have the right to unsubscribe at any time through the link provided in our emails. We utilize Klaviyo for our email communications, ensuring that your personal data is processed securely and in compliance with GDPR regulations. We do not share your data with any third parties without your explicit consent."

We maintain online presences within social networks and platforms to communicate with customers, interested parties and users active there and to inform them about our services. When you access the respective networks and platforms, the terms and conditions and data processing guidelines of their respective operators apply. 

Unless otherwise stated in our privacy policy, we process users' data if they communicate with us within social networks and platforms, e.g. by writing posts on our online presence or sending us messages.
