(4) Data Erasure and Storage Duration
For the processing operations we carry out, we state below how long the data will be stored by us and when it will be deleted or blocked. Unless an express storage period is specified below, your personal data will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose or legal basis for storage no longer applies. Your data will be saved basically only on our servers in Germany , subject to any disclosure according to the provisions in A.(7) and A.(8).
We use appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or against unauthorized access by third parties (e.g TSL encryption for our website[KB4] ) taking into account the state of the art, the implementation costs and the nature, scope, context and purpose of the processing as well as the existing risks of a data breach (including its probability and impact) for the data subject. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.
We will be happy to provide you with further information on this upon request. To do this, please contact our data protection officer (see under A.(3)).
(6) Cooperation with processors
As with any larger company, we also use external domestic and foreign service providers to handle our business transactions (e.g. for the areas of IT, logistics, telecommunications, sales and marketing). They only act according to our instructions and have been contractually obliged to comply with the data protection regulations in accordance with Art. 28 DS-GVO.
(7) Requirements for the transfer of personal data to third countries
As part of our business relationships, your personal information may be shared or disclosed with third party companies. These may also be located outside the European Economic Area (EEA), i.e. in third countries. Such processing takes place exclusively to fulfill the contractual and business obligations and to maintain your business relationship with us (legal basis is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b or lit. f respectively in conjunction with Art. 44 et seq.

In other third countries, to which personal data may be transferred, there may not be a consistently high level of data protection due to a lack of legal provisions. If this is the case, we make sure that data protection is adequately guaranteed. This is possible via binding company regulations, standard contractual clauses of the European Commission for the protection of personal data in accordance with Art. 46 (1), 2 lit. c GDPR (the standard contractual clauses of 2021 are available at https://eur-lex .europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=CELEX:32021D0915&locale-en), certificates or recognized codes of conduct.
