The above has been appointed as data protection officer, in accordance with the GDPR, in order to ensure and check compliance with data protection.
Art. 6 I (a) GDPR provides our company with the legal basis for processing procedures for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is required to fulfill a contract for which the contracting party is the data subject, as is the case, for example, with processing procedures that are necessary for the supply of goods or the provision of some other service or reciprocal service, then this processing is based on Art. 6 I (b) GDPR. The same applies to such procedures as are required in order to take precontractual action, such as inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a statutory obligation under which the processing of personal data is required, such as, for example, compliance with tax obligations, then the processing is governed by Art. 6 I (c) GDPR. Ultimately, processing procedures may be governed by Art. 6 I (f) GDPR. Processing procedures that do not fall under any of the other legal principles referred to earlier are based on this legal precept, if processing is required in order to safeguard the legitimate interests of our company or of a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not take precedence.
