An exception applies in cases in which a previous obtaining of a consent is not possible for actual reasons and where the processing of data is permitted on the basis of statutory provisions.
2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data
To the extent that we obtain consent from the data subject for the processing of personal data, Section 6 Subsection 1 lit. a EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as legal basis for the processing of personal data.
For the processing of personal data required to execute a contract whose contractual party is the data subject, Section 6 Subsection 1 lit. b GDPR serves as legal basis. This also applies to processing that is required for the execution of pre-contractually measures.
To the extent that the processing of personal data is required for the fulfillment of a legal obligation our company is subject to, Section 6 Subsection 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis.
In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Section 6 Subsection 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.
If such processing is required to maintain a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, and if the interests, basic rights and fundamental freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interest, Section 6 Subsection 1 lit. f GDPR serves as legal basis for such processing.
3. Data deletion and duration of storage
Personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose for storing such data no longer applies. Furthermore, personal data may only be stored if the European, US or German legislator has provided for this in ordinances, laws or other regulations to which the controller is subject and which take precedence over GDPR.
