Legal basis for data processing

If processing of information is necessary for fulfilling a contract that we have entered into with a customer or supplier, the legal basis follows Article 6 (1) (b) of GDPR: Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract.
If our company is subject to a legal obligation to process personal data, the basis for the processing follows GDPR Article 6 (1) (c), e.g., if we store information in accordance with the Accounting Act.

The external processors we use are carefully selected and subject to strict contractual obligations. They follow our instructions, which are guaranteed by strict contractual, technical, and organisational measures as well as additional controls.
Furthermore, the information that we have is passed on if a public authority requests it, based on legal requirement, or if it is necessary for a legal claim to be established, asserted or defended.
Data will not be transferred to countries outside the EU/EEA or to an international organisation unless appropriate guarantees have been provided or another legal basis follows from Chapter V of GDPR. These include e.g. the EU standard contractual clauses and an adequacy decision from the European Commission.

How long will your data be stored?

The data is stored for as long as it is needed for commercial or legal reasons. The duration of the storage period depends on the purpose of the processing. The purpose can result from the contract with our customer / supplier or from statutory regulations for the storage of business documents or other documents.
