3.    Recipients or categories of recipients of personal data

Recipients or categories of recipients of personal data may differ depending on the business relationship and may vary to different degrees.

Internal recipients: The relevant data are received by specialized companies or de-partments of the company group that are commissioned with processing duties for the purpose of fulfilling the obligations of the contractual relationship and the protection of the company’s legitimate interests.

External service providers: Based on a contractual relationship, an application pro-cess or an existing interest in the company or a contractual relationship, selected data are passed on to external service providers. These service providers are affili-ates who have been obliged to confidentiality and to protect the security of your data. Such service providers include, for example, IT service providers, legal and tax consultants, craft companies, banks, credit agencies, etc.
You can find out which service providers are involved in your individual case by means of your right of access.

Further recipients/authorities: Due to legal obligations, individual data must be passed on to additional recipients and authorities including, for example, the fi-nance authority, IHK/HWK, court of laws, social security, pension funds, etc.


4.    Duration of the data storage

The storage of the data and the associated deletion deadlines depend on the business relationship as well as the type of data.

A multitude of personal data are subject to statutory retention requirements as well as other legal guidelines and may only be deleted after the deadline has ex-pired.
Other data can only be deactivated by blocking, e.g. debtor data within the ERP system that refers to debtor items. There is no possibility of deleting this data.

In general, data about customers, business partners and service providers are stored in accordance to the archiving obligation, e.g. for commercial or tax pur-poses and will only be deleted after the appropriate deadline has expired. (§ 257 HGB, § 147 in connection with §§ 140,141 AO).

Personal data on applications are stored for a maximum of six months and will then be deleted. (§ 61 (1) ArbGG in conjunction with § 15 AGG).

Parties interested in the company will be deleted two years after the last contact.

You have the possibility of objecting to the storage of your data at any time and you are also able to request a premature deletion, provided that no legal regula-tion is contrary to this request.
