2. Active use of the website

In active use of our website, we store your personal data for the duration of the reply to your inquiry or for the duration of our business relationship to start with. This also includes the preparation of a contract (pre-contractual legal relationship) and the handing of a contract.

These archiving periods can be up to ten years.

IX. Scope of your duties to provide data

Processing of the data entered on the contact form is thus done exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6, subparagraph 1, lit. a, GDPR). You can withdraw this consent at any time. A notification to us by e-mail without formal requirements is sufficient for this. The lawfulness of the data processing procedures carried out until the time of the withdrawal shall remain unaffected by the latter.

The data entered in the contact form by you remain with us until you request that we erase them, withdraw your consent to storage or the purpose for the processing of the data no longer exists (e.g. following processing of your inquiry). Cogent statutory provisions – in particular archiving periods – shall remain unaffected.
