PRIVACY POLICY
Based on Article 13 of the Swiss Federal Constitution and the federal data protection provisions (Data Protection Act, DPA), every person has the right to the protection of their privacy and protection against the misuse of their personal data. We comply with these provisions. Personal data is treated in the strictest confidence and is neither sold nor passed on to third parties. In close cooperation with our hosting providers, we make every effort to protect the databases as effectively as possible from unauthorized access, loss, misuse, or falsification. When accessing our websites, the following data is stored in log files: IP address, date, time, browser request, and generally transmitted information regarding the operating system or browser. This usage data forms the basis for statistical, anonymous evaluations so that trends can be identified, allowing us to improve our offerings accordingly.
1. Definitions
The privacy policy of AlpRent.ch is based on the terminology used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy should be easily readable and understandable for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terminology used in advance. We use, among others, the following terms in this privacy policy:
• a) Personal data Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as „data subject“). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more specific factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
• b) Data subject: A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller.
• c) processing means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
• d) Restriction of processing Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their future processing.
• e) Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location or movements.
• f) Pseudonymisation means the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
• g) controller or controller for the processing or controller for the processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data; where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.
• h) Processor means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
• (i) 'recipient' means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients;.
• j) "third party" means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data.
• k) 'consent' means any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her;.
2. Name and address of the controller
The data controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation, other data protection laws applicable in the Member States of the European Union, and other provisions of a data protection nature is:
AlpRent GmbH – Vacation Rentals (alprent.ch), Alexander Schmidt Via Serlas 9 7500 St. Moritz Switzerland Tel.: +41 79 419 30 11 E-Mail: booking@alprent.ch Website: www.alprent.ch
3. Cookies The websites of AlpRent.ch use cookies.
Cookies are text files that are placed and stored on a computer system via a web browser. Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain what is known as a cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier for the cookie. It consists of a string of characters that allows websites and servers to associate the cookie with the specific web browser in which it was stored. This enables the visited websites and servers to distinguish the data subject’s individual browser from other web browsers that contain different cookies. A specific web browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID. By using cookies, AlpRent.ch can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without setting cookies. Cookies allow us to optimize the information and offerings on our website to better meet the user’s needs. As mentioned earlier, cookies enable us to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to navigate our website. For example, a user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter their login credentials every time they visit the website, because this information is handled by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the shopping cart cookie in an online store. The online store uses a cookie to remember the items a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart. The data subject can prevent our website from setting cookies at any time by adjusting the settings of the web browser being used, thereby permanently objecting to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via a web browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common web browsers. If the data subject disables cookies in the web browser they are using, some features of our website may not be fully functional.
4. Collection of general data and information
The AlpRent.ch website collects a range of general data and information each time a data subject or an automated system accesses the website. This general data and information is stored in the server’s log files. The following data may be collected: (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (known as the referrer), (4) the subpages on our website accessed via the system, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an Internet Protocol (IP) address, (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information used for security purposes in the event of attacks on our information technology systems. AlpRent.ch does not draw any conclusions about the data subject when using this general data and information. Rather, this information is needed to (1) correctly deliver the content of our website, (2) to optimize the content of our website as well as the advertising on it, (3) to ensure the ongoing functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyberattack. AlpRent.ch therefore evaluates this anonymously collected data and information both for statistical purposes and with the aim of enhancing data protection and data security within our company, ultimately to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data from the server log files is stored separately from any personal data provided by a data subject.
5. Subscription to our newsletter
On the AlpRent.ch website, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company’s newsletter. The personal data transmitted to the data controller when subscribing to the newsletter is specified in the input form used for this purpose. AlpRent.ch informs its customers and business partners at regular intervals via a newsletter about the company’s offers. In general, a data subject can only receive our company’s newsletter if (1) the data subject has a valid email address and (2) the data subject registers to receive the newsletter. For legal reasons, a confirmation email is sent via the double-opt-in procedure to the email address initially provided by a data subject for the newsletter. This confirmation email serves to verify whether the owner of the email address, as the data subject, has authorized receipt of the newsletter. When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) to the computer system used by the data subject at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary to be able to trace any (potential) misuse of a data subject’s email address at a later date and therefore serves to provide legal protection for the data controller. The personal data collected as part of a newsletter subscription is used exclusively for sending our newsletter. Furthermore, newsletter subscribers may be notified by email if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or for related registration purposes, such as in the event of changes to the newsletter content or modifications to the technical infrastructure. Personal data collected as part of the newsletter service is not disclosed to third parties. The data subject may cancel their subscription to our newsletter at any time. Consent to the storage of personal data that the data subject has provided to us for the purpose of sending the newsletter may be revoked at any time. A link for revoking consent is included in every newsletter. Furthermore, you may unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the data controller’s website or notify the data controller of your wish to unsubscribe by other means.
6. Newsletter Tracking
The newsletters of AlpRent.ch contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in such emails, which are sent in HTML format, to enable log file recording and log file analysis. This allows a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns to be carried out. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, AlpRent.ch can recognize whether and when an email was opened by a data subject and which links in the email were accessed by the data subject. Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and evaluated by the controller responsible for processing in order to optimize the newsletter delivery and to adapt the content of future newsletters even better to the interests of the data subject. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties. Data subjects are entitled at any time to revoke the respective separate declaration of consent given via the double opt-in procedure. Following a revocation, this personal data will be deleted by the controller responsible for processing. AlpRent.ch automatically interprets an unsubscribe from receiving the newsletter as a revocation.
7. Routine deletion and blocking of personal data
The controller shall process and store personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as granted by the European Directive and Regulation authority or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject to. If the storage purpose is omitted, or if a storage period prescribed by the European Directive and Regulation authority or another competent legislator expires, the personal data are routinely blocked or erased in accordance with statutory provisions.
8. Rights of the data subject
• a) Right to confirmation Every data subject has the right granted by the European Directive and Regulation maker to obtain from the controller confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning them are being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to confirmation, they may, at any time, contact our Data Protection Officer or another employee of the controller.
• b) Right of Access Any data subject whose personal data is being processed has the right, granted by European legislation, to obtain from the data controller, at any time and free of charge, information regarding the personal data stored about them and a copy of such information. Furthermore, the European legislator has granted the data subject the right to obtain the following information:• the purposes of the processing • the categories of personal data being processed • the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organizations • if possible, the planned duration for which the personal data will be stored, or, if this is not possible, the criteria for determining this duration • the existence of a right to have personal data concerning them rectified or erased, or to have processing restricted by the controller, or a right to object to such processing • the existence of a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority • if the personal data are not collected from the data subject: All available information regarding the origin of the data • the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, pursuant to Article 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR and—at least in these cases — meaningful information regarding the logic involved, as well as the scope and intended consequences of such processing for the data subject. Furthermore, the data subject has the right to obtain information on whether personal data has been transferred to a third country or to an international organization. If this is the case, the data subject is also entitled to receive information about the appropriate safeguards in connection with the transfer. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of access, they may contact our Data Protection Officer or another employee of the controller at any time.
• c) Right to rectification Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European directives and regulations legislator to demand the immediate rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning them. Furthermore, the data subject has the right, taking into account the purposes of processing, to demand the completion of incomplete personal data—including by means of a supplementary statement. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, they may contact our data protection officer or another employee of the data controller at any time.
• d) Right to erasure (right to be forgotten) Any individual whose personal data is being processed has the right, as granted by European directives and regulations, to request that the controller erase the personal data concerning them without delay, provided that one of the following grounds applies and provided that the processing is not necessary: • The personal data was collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which it is no longer necessary. • The data subject withdraws their consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR or Article 9(2)(a) of the GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing. • The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR, and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(2) of the GDPR. • The personal data has been processed unlawfully. • The erasure of the personal data is necessary to comply with a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject. • The personal data was collected in connection with information society services offered in accordance with Article 8(1) of the GDPR. If any of the above reasons apply and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by AlpRent.ch, they may contact our Data Protection Officer or another employee of the controller at any time. The Data Protection Officer of AlpRent.ch or another employee will ensure that the request for erasure is complied with without delay. If the personal data has been made public by AlpRent.ch and our company, as the controller, is obligated under Article 17(1) of the GDPR to erase the personal data, AlpRent.ch shall take appropriate measures, including technical measures, taking into account available technology and implementation costs, to inform other data controllers who process the published personal data that the data subject has requested that these other data controllers delete all links to such personal data or copies or replicas of such personal data, to the extent that the processing is not necessary. The data protection officer of AlpRent.ch or another employee will take the necessary steps on a case-by-case basis.
• e) Right to restriction of processing Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European Directive and Regulation Maker to demand from the controller the restriction of processing if one of the following conditions is met: • The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data. • The processing is unlawful, the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of their use instead. • The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but the data subject requires them for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims. • The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Art. 21 Para. 1 GDPR and it is not yet clear whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject. If one of the above conditions is met and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored at AlpRent.ch, they may contact our data protection officer or another employee of the controller at any time. The data protection officer of AlpRent.ch or another employee will arrange the restriction of processing.
• f) Right to data portability Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European Directive and Regulation Maker to receive the personal data concerning them, which was provided by the data subject to a controller, in a structured, common and machine-readable format. They also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to which the personal data was provided, provided that the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR and the processing is carried out using automated procedures, provided that the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller. Furthermore, when exercising their right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20 para. 1 GDPR, the data subject has the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of other persons. To assert the right to data portability, the data subject may at any time contact the data protection officer appointed by AlpRent.ch or another employee.
• g) Right to Object Any data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to object, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning them that is carried out pursuant to Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions. In the event of an objection, AlpRent.ch will no longer process the personal data, unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing is necessary for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims. If AlpRent.ch processes personal data for the purpose of direct marketing, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data for such marketing purposes. This also applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to AlpRent.ch regarding processing for direct marketing purposes, AlpRent.ch will no longer process the personal data for these purposes. In addition, the data subject has the right, for reasons arising from their particular situation, to object to the processing of their personal data by AlpRent.ch for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) of the GDPR, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest. To exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact the data protection officer at AlpRent.ch or another employee directly. The data subject is also free, in connection with the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to exercise their right to object by means of automated procedures that use technical specifications.
• h) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European Directive and Regulation Maker not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing—including profiling—which produces legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affects them, provided that the decision (1) is not necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is authorized by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject, and such law lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is based on the data subject's explicit consent.
If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) it is based on the data subject's explicit consent, AlpRent.ch shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express their point of view, and to contest the decision.
If the data subject wishes to assert rights concerning automated decisions, they may contact our Data Protection Officer or another employee of the data controller at any time.
• i) Right to withdraw data protection consent Any data subject affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European Directive and Regulation Maker to withdraw consent to the processing of personal data at any time. If the data subject wishes to exercise their right to withdraw consent, they may contact our Data Protection Officer or another employee of the controller responsible for the processing at any time.
9. Privacy policy for the use and application of Facebook
The data controller has integrated components from Facebook into this website. Facebook is a social network. A social network is a social gathering place operated on the Internet—an online community that generally enables users to communicate with one another and interact in a virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for exchanging opinions and experiences or enable the online community to share personal or business-related information. Among other things, Facebook allows users of the social network to create private profiles, upload photos, and connect with others through friend requests. Facebook is operated by Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. If a data subject resides outside the United States or Canada, the controller responsible for the processing of personal data is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland. Each time a user visits one of the individual pages of this website—which is operated by the data controller and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, the web browser on the data subject’s computer system is automatically prompted by the respective Facebook component to download a representation of that Facebook component from Facebook. A complete overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be found at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=de_DE. As part of this technical process, Facebook learns which specific subpage of our website the data subject is visiting. If the data subject is logged into Facebook at the same time, Facebook recognizes which specific subpage of our website the data subject is visiting each time the data subject accesses our website and for the entire duration of their visit to our website. This information is collected by the Facebook component and assigned by Facebook to the data subject’s respective Facebook account. If the data subject clicks on one of the Facebook buttons integrated into our website—such as the „Like“ button—or posts a comment, Facebook associates this information with the data subject’s personal Facebook user account and stores this personal data. Facebook receives information via the Facebook component that the data subject has visited our website whenever the data subject is logged into Facebook at the same time as accessing our website; this occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If the data subject does not wish for this information to be transmitted to Facebook, they can prevent the transmission by logging out of their Facebook account before visiting our website. Facebook’s Privacy Policy, available at https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information about Facebook’s collection, processing, and use of personal data. It also explains the settings options Facebook offers to protect the data subject’s privacy. In addition, various applications are available that allow users to prevent data from being transmitted to Facebook. The data subject may use such applications to prevent data from being transmitted to Facebook.
10. Data Protection Provisions Regarding the Use and Application of Google Analytics (with Anonymization Function)
The data controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymization) into this website. Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics refers to the collection, gathering, and analysis of data regarding the behavior of website visitors. Among other things, a web analytics service collects data on which website a data subject came from (known as the referrer), which subpages of the website were accessed, and how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. Web analytics is primarily used to optimize a website and to conduct a cost-benefit analysis of online advertising. The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA. The data controller uses the add-on "_gat._anonymizeIp" for web analytics via Google Analytics. This suffix causes Google to truncate and anonymize the IP address of the data subject’s Internet connection when accessing our website from a member state of the European Union or from another signatory state to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze visitor traffic on our website. Google uses the data and information collected, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us that illustrate activity on our website, and to provide other services related to the use of our website. Google Analytics places a cookie on the data subject’s computer system. What cookies are has already been explained above. By placing the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. Each time a user visits one of the individual pages of this website—which is operated by the data controller and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated—the web browser on the data subject’s computer is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. As part of this technical process, Google obtains information about personal data, such as the data subject’s IP address, which Google uses, among other things, to track the origin of visitors and clicks and, consequently, to facilitate commission settlements. Through the use of cookies, personal information—such as the time of access, the location from which access originated, and the frequency of the data subject’s visits to our website—is stored. Each time our website is visited, this personal data—including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject—is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may, under certain circumstances, disclose this personal data—collected through technical means—to third parties. As described above, the data subject may prevent our website from setting cookies at any time by adjusting the settings of the web browser being used, thereby permanently objecting to the setting of cookies. Such a setting in the user’s web browser would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the data subject’s computer system. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the web browser or other software programs. Furthermore, the data subject has the option to object to and prevent the collection of data generated by Google Analytics relating to the use of this website, as well as the processing of such data by Google. To do so, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on from the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on uses JavaScript to instruct Google Analytics that no data or information regarding website visits may be transmitted to Google Analytics. Google considers the installation of the browser add-on to constitute an objection. If the data subject’s computer system is subsequently deleted, formatted, or reinstalled, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or another person within their control, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on. Further information and Google’s applicable privacy policy can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. Google Analytics is explained in more detail at this link: https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.
11. Privacy Policy regarding the use and application of the Destination CRM of St. Moritz Tourismus
AlpRent.ch is authorized to forward personal data of the guest to St. Moritz Tourismus. This personal data is centrally filed and stored by St. Moritz Tourismus (and/or by data processors acting on behalf of St. Moritz Tourismus). In this context, it is possible that information and/or newsletters are sent directly to the guest by St. Moritz Tourismus and/or by AlpRent.ch. It is also possible that such information is sent in the name of AlpRent.ch, but technically generated by St. Moritz Tourismus (and/or a data processor acting on behalf of St. Moritz Tourismus). This information specifically includes so-called «pre-stay» and «after-stay» emails."
12. Legal basis for processing
Article 6(1)(a) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis for our company’s processing activities in which we obtain consent for a specific purpose of processing. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party—as is the case, for example, with processing operations required for the delivery of goods or the provision of other services or consideration— the processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR. The same applies to processing operations necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, such as in cases of inquiries regarding our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data—such as to fulfill tax obligations—the processing is based on Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured on our premises and, as a result, their name, age, health insurance information, or other vital information had to be disclosed to a doctor, a hospital, or other third parties. In such cases, the processing would be based on Article 6(1)(d) of the GDPR. Finally, processing operations may be based on Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR. This legal basis applies to processing operations not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases, provided that the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, unless the interests, fundamental rights, and fundamental freedoms of the data subject take precedence. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this regard, the legislator took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47, Sentence 2 of the GDPR).
13. Legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party
If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business activities for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.
14. Period for which the personal data will be stored
The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After the expiration of this period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment or initiation of a contract.
15. Statutory or contractual provisions for the provision of personal data; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of failure to provide such data
We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or can also result from contractual provisions (e.g., information about the contractual partner). Sometimes, for a contract to be concluded, it may be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data when our company concludes a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before providing personal data, the data subject must contact our data protection officer. Our data protection officer will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what the consequences of failing to provide the personal data would be.
