Certain information is also generated by the use of cookies.

 

How do we use your data?

We only use your data for the purpose for which you provide us with it, i.e. to answer your questions, provide you with information about us and our events, or within the framework of the execution of our contracts or pre-contractual measures with our clients.

The processing of the data and content transmitted via the contact form is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 a) and b) for the purpose of processing your request.

As part of our business relationships and pre-contractual measures, we process the data of our contractual partners and interested parties as well as other clients, customers, clients or other affected parties in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 b) DSGVO for the purpose of providing our contractual or pre-contractual services. The data processed, the type, scope and purpose and the necessity of their processing are determined by the underlying contractual relationship.

If necessary, we process your data beyond the actual fulfilment of the contract within the scope of the weighing of interests in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 f) DSGVO in order to safeguard our legitimate interest, for example to send newsletters, if you have not objected to the use of your data.

We protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorised persons with the aid of technical and operational security measures. Our security measures are regularly reviewed and adapted to technological progress. All our employees are obliged in writing to maintain confidentiality and have signed a data protection commitment.

 

Cooperation with contract processors and third parties

We never pass on your data for commercial purposes. If we pass on data to contract processors or third parties within the scope of our processing, this will only be done on the basis of legal permission, for example if the data is required to be passed on to third parties in order to fulfil the contract, if you have consented to this, if there is a legal obligation to do so, or on the basis of our legitimate interests. If we use external service providers, these have been carefully selected by us and commissioned in writing. If necessary, we have concluded an order processing contract with them.

 

Transfers to third countries

It may happen that we process data in a third country outside the European Union or the European Economic Area within the framework of contracts or pre-contractual measures, or that this occurs within the framework of the use of third-party services or the transfer of data to third parties, this only occurs if it occurs to fulfil our contractual or pre-contractual obligations, on the basis of your consent, a legal obligation or on the basis of our legitimate interests.

 

Revocation of your consent to data processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your express consent. You can revoke your consent at any time. All you need to do is send an informal e-mail to datenschutzbeauftragter@dtb.eu. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
