Where do we get your personal data from?

 

The collection of your data generally takes place on your own behalf. The processing of the personal data you provide is necessary to fulfill the contractual obligations arising from the contract concluded with us. Due to your obligation to cooperate, it is essential that you provide the personal data requested by us, otherwise we cannot fulfill our contractual obligations. Otherwise, accounting and/or tax disadvantages for you can no longer be ruled out. As part of pre-contractual measures (e.g. master data collection in the interested party process), the provision of your personal data is necessary. If you do not provide the requested data, a contract cannot be concluded. In order to provide our services, it may be necessary to process personal data that we receive from other companies or other third parties, e.g. B. tax offices, your business partner or similar have received lawfully and for the respective purpose. We may also process personal data from publicly accessible sources, e.g. B. Internet sites that we use permissibly and only for the respective contractual purpose

 

Due to legal requirements (according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR) or in the public interest (according to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e GDPR) The purposes of data processing result from or lie in legal requirements in the public interest (e.g. compliance with retention obligations, proof of compliance with the tax advisor’s notification and information obligations).

 

Purposes and legal basis of processing

 

The personal data you provide will be processed in accordance with the provisions of the European Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG):

 

Based on consent (according to Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter a GDPR) The purposes of processing personal data result from the granting of consent. You can revoke your consent at any time with future effect. Consent that was given before the GDPR came into effect (May 25, 2018) can also be revoked. Processing that took place before the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation. Example: Sending a newsletter, release from professional confidentiality to pass on the data you have provided to third parties at your request (e.g. banks, insurance companies, shareholders, etc.). To fulfill contractual obligations (according to Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter b of the GDPR) The purposes of data processing arise, on the one hand, from the initiation of pre-contractual measures that precede a contractually regulated business relationship and, on the other hand, to fulfill the obligations arising from the contract concluded with you.

As part of the balancing of interests (according to Article 6 Paragraph 1 Letter f of the GDPR) the purposes of processing arise from safeguarding our legitimate interests. It may be necessary to process the data you provide beyond the actual fulfillment of the contract. Our legitimate interest can be used to justify further processing of the data you have provided, provided that your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms do not outweigh this. In individual cases, our legitimate interest can be: asserting legal claims, defending against liability claims, preventing criminal offenses.

Who receives the personal data you provide?

Within our company, those areas that need it to fulfill contractual and legal obligations and that are authorized to process this data will have access to the personal data you provide. In fulfillment of the contract concluded with you, only those departments that need it for legal reasons will receive the data you provide, e.g. E.g. tax authorities, social security institutions, responsible authorities and courts. As professional secrecy holders, we are obliged to comply with and implement professional confidentiality. Other recipients will only receive the data you have provided at your request if you release us from professional confidentiality.

As part of our service provision, we commission processors who contribute to the fulfillment of contractual obligations, e.g. E.g. data center service providers, IT partners, document shredders, etc. We contractually oblige these processors to maintain professional confidentiality and to comply with the requirements of the GDPR and the BDSG.

Will the data you provide be transferred to third countries or international organizations?

Under no circumstances will the data you provide be transferred to a third country or an international organization. If, in individual cases, you wish the data you have provided to be transferred to a third country or an international organization, we will only do this with your written consent and release from professional confidentiality.

Does automated decision-making including profiling take place?

No fully automated decision-making (including profiling) is used to process the data you provide in accordance with Article 22 of the GDPR.

Duration of processing (criteria for deletion)

The data you provide will be processed for as long as it is necessary to achieve the contractually agreed purpose, in principle as long as the contractual relationship with you exists. After termination of the contractual relationship, the data you provide will be processed to comply with legal retention obligations or based on our legitimate interests. After the statutory retention periods have expired and/or our legitimate interests no longer apply, the data you provided will be deleted. Expected deadlines for our retention obligations and our legitimate interests:

Fulfillment of commercial, tax and professional law retention periods. The periods specified there for storage and documentation are two to ten years.

Preservation of evidence within the statute of limitations. According to Sections 195 ff. of the Civil Code (BGB), these limitation periods can be up to 30 years, with the regular limitation period being three years.
