Collection and storage of personal data, and nature and purpose of its use

Consent (Article 6, paragraph 1a, GDPR)
Processing personal data for specific purposes (e.g. sending our newsletter via e-mail after clicking on the confirmation link that you will receive, disclosure to third parties, analysis of data for marketing purposes) takes place if you have granted us your consent.

Contractual or pre-contractual obligations (Article 6, paragraph 1b, GDPR)
We process personal data that must be provided in order to fulfill a contract to which you are a contracting party, or to perform pre-contractual measures upon your request, e.g. via our website contact form. The purposes of the data processing are based on the specific contract (e.g. purchase, delivery, or employment contract) and may include evaluations, consultation, and the performance of other actions, among other things. As part of your application, the data you provide (e.g. cover letter, résumé, references) that we require in order to be able to make a decision on hiring in our company shall be processed by the departments that supervise the application process at our company (e.g. personnel department, specialist department management). We process personal data of employees for the purposes of the employment relationship, where this is required for the decision to establish an employment relationship or, after the establishment of the employment relationship, for its performance or termination, or for exercising or fulfilling the rights and obligations arising from a law.

Legal obligations (Article 6, paragraph 1c, GDPR)
Data is processed based on legal obligations, e.g. for the purposes of fulfilling inspection and reporting obligations, and disclosing data to authorities.

Balancing of interests (Article 6, paragraph 1f, GDPR)
To protect our legitimate interests or those of third parties, data is also processed for specific purposes after prior consideration of interests, e.g. to ensure domiciliary rights, protect legal claims, investigate criminal offences, determine default risks, optimize product development, optimize customer contact for marketing purposes, such as contacting other companies by telephone, send marketing information (e.g. invitations to events and functions, presentation of new products and services), optimize demand planning, or ensure data security.

The data you enter for the purpose of receiving newsletters (e.g. e-mail address) is stored on CleverReach’s servers in Germany and within the European Union. Our newsletters sent with CleverReach allow us to analyze the behavior of newsletter recipients so that we can analyze how many recipients have opened the newsletter message and how often which link in the newsletter was clicked.

Data sources

We process data that we have received from you in the course of our business relationship as well as data permissibly transmitted to us by other third parties. On the other hand, we collect data from publicly accessible sources (e.g. trade and debtor directories, commercial registers, press).
