The data processed by us includes all data that we require for the administration or processing of the membership or business relationship existing with you or in order to process your inquiry or your support service.

The processing of your data is limited to those data that are necessary and appropriate for the aforementioned purposes. We will inform you which data this is before or in the course of data collection.

Your data will only be passed on to third parties if this is necessary for the purposes within the scope of our organization for the processing of financial accounting as well as compliance with legal obligations. Insofar as we use third-party providers to provide our services, the terms and conditions and data protection notices of the respective third-party providers apply.

Contact data (e.g. e-mail address, telephone number, postal address)
Contract data (e.g. subject matter of contract, duration of contract)
Data subjects: Interested parties, members, business and contractual partners

Purpose of processing: administration members and support services, handling of contractual relations, communication as well as answering contact requests, office and organization procedures

According to the DSGVO, you are entitled to the rights listed below, which you can exercise at any time by contacting the controller named in section 1. of this Privacy Policy:

Right to information: you have the right to request information from us about whether and what data we process from you.

You have the right to revoke your consent to data processing at any time.

Right of objection

You have the right to object at any time to the processing of your data, which we base on our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO. If you exercise your right to object, we ask you to explain the reasons. We will then no longer process your personal data unless we can prove to you that compelling reasons worthy of protection for the data processing outweigh your interests and rights.

Irrespective of the above, you have the right at any time to object to the processing of your personal data for purposes of advertising and data analysis.

Please address your objection to the contact address of the data controller given above.

When do we delete your data?

We delete your data when we no longer need it or when you instruct us to do so. This means that – unless otherwise stated in the individual data protection notices of this data protection declaration – we delete your data,

if the purpose of the data processing has ceased to exist and thus the respective legal basis stated in the individual data protection notices no longer exists, i.e., for example.
after termination of the contractual or membership relations existing between us (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO) or
after our legitimate interest in the further processing or storage of your data ceases to exist (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO),
if you exercise your right of withdrawal and no other legal basis for processing within the meaning of Art. 6 (1) lit. b-f DSGVO applies,
if you exercise your right to object and there are no compelling legitimate grounds for deletion.

If, however, we still need to retain (certain parts of) your data for other purposes, for example because tax retention periods (generally 6 years for business correspondence or 10 years for accounting records) or the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims arising from contractual relationships (up to four years) make this necessary, or if the data is needed to protect the rights of another natural person or legal entity, we will delete (that part of) your data only after these periods have expired. However, until the expiration of these periods, we limit the processing of this data to these purposes (fulfillment of retention obligations).
