We are very delighted that you have shown interest in our enterprise. Data protection is of a particularly high priority
for the management of Exelerus AB. The use of the Internet pages of Exelerus AB is possible without any
indication of personal data; however, if a data subject wants to use special enterprise services via our website,
processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no
statutory basis for such processing, we generally obtain consent from the data subject.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject shall
always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific data
protection regulations applicable to Exelerus AB. By means of this data protection declaration, our enterprise would
like to inform the general public of the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process.
Furthermore, data subjects are informed, by means of this data protection declaration, of the rights to which they are
entitled.
As the controller, Exelerus AB has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most
complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However, Internet-based data transmissions may in
principle have security gaps, so absolute protection may not be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free
to transfer personal data to us via alternative means, e.g. by telephone.
1. Definitions
The data protection declaration of Exelerus AB is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the
adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our data protection declaration should be legible and
understandable for the general public, as well as our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like
to first explain the terminology used.
In this data protection declaration, we use, inter alia, the following terms:
a) Personal data
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“data subject”).
An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to
an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more
factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that
natural person.
b) Data subject
Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person, whose personal data is processed by the controller
responsible for the processing.
c) Processing
Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data,
whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or
alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available,
alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
d) Restriction of processing
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the
future.
e) Profiling
Profiling means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate
certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning that
natural person's performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability,
behaviour, location or movements.
f) Pseudonymisation
Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be
attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional
information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal
data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
g) Controller or controller responsible for the processing
Controller or controller responsible for the processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or
other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal
data; where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or
the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.
h) Processor
Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on
behalf of the controller.
i) Recipient
Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the personal data are
disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the
framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients;
the processing of those data by those public authorities shall be in compliance with the applicable data protection
rules according to the purposes of the processing.
j) Third party
Third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller,
processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorised to process
personal data.
k) Consent
Consent of the data subject is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject's
wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of
personal data relating to him or her.
2. Name and Address of the controller
Controller for the purposes of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), other data protection laws applicable
in Member states of the European Union and other provisions related to data protection is:
Exelerus AB
Phone
Email
Website: exelerus.com and exelerus.se
3. Cookies
The Internet pages of Exelerus AB use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in a computer system via an
Internet browser.
Many Internet sites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique
identifier of the cookie. It consists of a character string through which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to
the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited Internet sites and servers to
differentiate the individual browser of the dats subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies.
A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified using the unique cookie ID.
Through the use of cookies, Exelerus AB can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that
would not be possible without the cookie setting.
By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized with the user in mind. Cookies allow
us, as previously mentioned, to recognize our website users. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for
users to utilize our website. The website user that uses cookies, e.g. does not have to enter access data each time the
website is accessed, because this is taken over by the website, and the cookie is thus stored on the user's computer
system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The online store remembers the articles that
a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.
The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies through our website by means of a corresponding
setting of the Internet browser used, and may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Furthermore, already set
cookies may be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all popular
Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all
functions of our website may be entirely usable.
4. Collection of general data and information
The website of Exelerus AB collects a series of general data and information when a data subject or automated
system calls up the website. This general data and information are stored in the server log files. Collected may be
(1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from
which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites, (5) the date and time of
access to the Internet site, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the
accessing system, and (8) any other similar data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our
information technology systems.
When using these general data and information, Exelerus AB does not draw any conclusions about the data subject.
Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of
our website as well as its advertisement, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems
and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal
prosecution in case of a cyber-attack. Therefore, Exelerus AB analyzes anonymously collected data and
information statistically, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise, and
to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log
files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
5. Registration on our website
The data subject has the possibility to register on the website of the controller with the indication of personal
data. Which personal data are transmitted to the controller is determined by the respective input mask used for the
registration. The personal data entered by the data subject are collected and stored exclusively for internal use by
the controller, and for his own purposes. The controller may request transfer to one or more processors (e.g. a
parcel service) that also uses personal data for an internal purpose which is attributable to the controller.
By registering on the website of the controller, the IP address—assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) and
used by the data subject—date, and time of the registration are also stored. The storage of this data takes place
against the background that this is the only way to prevent the misuse of our services, and, if necessary, to make
it possible to investigate committed offenses. Insofar, the storage of this data is necessary to secure the
controller. This data is not passed on to third parties unless there is a statutory obligation to pass on the data,
or if the transfer serves the aim of criminal prosecution.
The registration of the data subject, with the voluntary indication of personal data, is intended to enable the
controller to offer the data subject contents or services that may only be offered to registered users due to the
nature of the matter in question. Registered persons are free to change the personal data specified during the
registration at any time, or to have them completely deleted from the data stock of the controller.
The data controller shall, at any time, provide information upon request to each data subject as to what personal data
are stored about the data subject. In addition, the data controller shall correct or erase personal data at the
request or indication of the data subject, insofar as there are no statutory storage obligations. The entirety of
the controller’s employees are available to the data subject in this respect as contact persons.
6. Subscription to our newsletters
On the website of Exelerus AB, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our enterprise's newsletter. The
input mask used for this purpose determines what personal data are transmitted, as well as when the newsletter is
ordered from the controller.
Exelerus AB informs its customers and business partners regularly by means of a newsletter about enterprise
offers. The enterprise's newsletter may only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid
e-mail address and (2) the data subject registers for the newsletter shipping. A confirmation e-mail will be sent
to the e-mail address registered by a data subject for the first time for newsletter shipping, for legal reasons,
in the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation e-mail is used to prove whether the owner of the e-mail address
as the data subject is authorized to receive the newsletter.
During the registration for the newsletter, we also store the IP address of the computer system assigned by the
Internet service provider (ISP) and used by the data subject at the time of the registration, as well as the date
and time of the registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to understand the (possible) misuse
of the e-mail address of a data subject at a later date, and it therefore serves the aim of the legal protection of
the controller.
The personal data collected as part of a registration for the newsletter will only be used to send our newsletter.
In addition, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by e-mail, as long as this is necessary for the operation
of the newsletter service or a registration in question, as this could be the case in the event of modifications to
the newsletter offer, or in the event of a change in technical circumstances. There will be no transfer of personal
data collected by the newsletter service to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter may be terminated by
the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data, which the data subject has given for
shipping the newsletter, may be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revocation of consent, a corresponding link
is found in each newsletter. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the
website of the controller, or to communicate this to the controller in a different way.
7. Newsletter-Tracking
The newsletter of Exelerus AB contains so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic
embedded in such e-mails, which are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and analysis. This allows a
statistical analysis of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Based on the embedded tracking pixel,
Exelerus AB may see if and when an e-mail was opened by a data subject, and which links in the e-mail were
called up by data subjects.
Such personal data collected in the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and analyzed by the
controller in order to optimize the shipping of the newsletter, as well as to adapt the content of future
newsletters even better to the interests of the data subject. These personal data will not be passed on to third
parties. Data subjects are at any time entitled to revoke the respective separate declaration of consent issued
by means of the double-opt-in procedure. After a revocation, these personal data will be deleted by the controller.
Exelerus AB automatically regards a withdrawal from the receipt of the newsletter as a revocation.
8. Contact possibility via the website
The website of Exelerus AB contains information that enables a quick electronic contact to our enterprise, as
well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail
(e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the controller by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data
transmitted by the data subject are automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a
data subject to the data controller are stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. There
is no transfer of this personal data to third parties.
9. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data
The data controller shall process and store the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to
achieve the purpose of storage, or as far as this is granted by the European legislator or other legislators in
laws or regulations to which the controller is subject to.
If the storage purpose is not applicable, or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another
competent legislator expires, the personal data are routinely blocked or erased in accordance with legal
requirements.
10. Rights of the data subject
a) Right of confirmation
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller the

If one of the aforementioned reasons applies, and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data
stored by Exelerus AB, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller. An employee of
Exelerus AB shall promptly ensure that the erasure request is complied with immediately.
Where the controller has made personal data public and is obliged pursuant to Article 17(1) to erase the personal
data, the controller, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall take reasonable
steps, including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the personal data that the data subject
has requested erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication of, those personal data, as far
as processing is not required. An employees of Exelerus AB will arrange the necessary measures in individual
cases.

the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.
If one of the aforementioned conditions is met, and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of the
processing of personal data stored by Exelerus AB, he or she may at any time contact any employee of the
controller. The employee of Exelerus AB will arrange the restriction of the processing.
f) Right to data portability
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator, to receive the personal data concerning
him or her, which was provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.
He or she shall have the right to transmit those data to another controller without hindrance from the controller

of Article 6(1) of the GDPR or point (a) of Article 9(2) of the GDPR, or on a contract pursuant to point (b) of
Article 6(1) of the GDPR, and the processing is carried out by automated means, as long as the processing is not
necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority
vested in the controller.
Furthermore, in exercising his or her right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) of the GDPR, the data
subject shall have the right to have personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where

h) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator not to be subject to a decision based
solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her, or
similarly significantly affects him or her, as long as the decision (1) is not is necessary for entering into, or

11. Data protection provisions about the application and use of Facebook
On this website, the controller has integrated components of the enterprise Facebook. Facebook is a social network.
A social network is a place for social meetings on the Internet, an online community, which usually allows users to
communicate with each other and interact in a virtual space. A social network may serve as a platform for the
exchange of opinions and experiences, or enable the Internet community to provide personal or business-related
information. Facebook allows social network users to include the creation of private profiles, upload photos,
and network through friend requests.
The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, United States. If a person
lives outside of the United States or Canada, the controller is the Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square,
Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.
With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet website, which is operated by the controller and
into which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-ins) was integrated, the web browser on the information technology
system of the data subject is automatically prompted to download display of the corresponding Facebook component
from Facebook through the Facebook component. An overview of all the Facebook Plug-ins may be accessed under
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/. During the course of this technical procedure, Facebook is made
aware of what specific sub-site of our website was visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is logged in at the same time on Facebook, Facebook detects with every call-up to our website
by the data subject—and for the entire duration of their stay on our Internet site—which specific sub-site of our
Internet page was visited by the data subject. This information is collected through the Facebook component and
associated with the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the
Facebook buttons integrated into our website, e.g. the "Like" button, or if the data subject submits a comment,
then Facebook matches this information with the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores the
personal data.
Facebook always receives, through the Facebook component, information about a visit to our website by the data
subject, whenever the data subject is logged in at the same time on Facebook during the time of the call-up to
our website. This occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If such a
transmission of information to Facebook is not desirable for the data subject, then he or she may prevent this by
logging off from their Facebook account before a call-up to our website is made.
The data protection guideline published by Facebook, which is available at https://facebook.com/about/privacy/,
provides information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by Facebook. In addition, it is
explained there what setting options Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. In addition,
different configuration options are made available to allow the elimination of data transmission to Facebook.
These applications may be used by the data subject to eliminate a data transmission to Facebook.
12. Data protection provisions about the application and use of Google Analytics (with anonymization function)
On this website, the controller has integrated the component of Google Analytics (with the anonymizer function).
Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, gathering, and analysis of data
about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects, inter alia, data about the website
from which a person has come (the so-called referrer), which sub-pages were visited, or how often and for what
duration a sub-page was viewed. Web analytics are mainly used for the optimization of a website and in order to
carry out a cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.
The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351,
United States.
For the web analytics through Google Analytics the controller uses the application "_gat. _anonymizeIp". By means
of this application the IP address of the Internet connection of the data subject is abridged by Google and
anonymized when accessing our websites from a Member State of the European Union or another Contracting State to
the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the traffic on our website. Google uses the collected
data and information, inter alia, to evaluate the use of our website and to provide online reports, which show the
activities on our websites, and to provide other services concerning the use of our Internet site for us.
Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. The definition of
cookies is explained above. With the setting of the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website.
With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet site, which is operated by the controller and
into which a Google Analytics component was integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system
of the data subject will automatically submit data through the Google Analytics component for the purpose of
online advertising and the settlement of commissions to Google. During the course of this technical procedure,
the enterprise Google gains knowledge of personal information, such as the IP address of the data subject, which
serves Google, inter alia, to understand the origin of visitors and clicks, and subsequently create commission
settlements.
The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the access time, the location from which the access was
made, and the frequency of visits of our website by the data subject. With each visit to our Internet site, such
personal data, including the IP address of the Internet access used by the data subject, will be transmitted to
Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google in the United States of America.
Google may pass these personal data collected through the technical procedure to third parties.
The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by means of
a corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such an
adjustment to the Internet browser used would also prevent Google Analytics from setting a cookie on the
information technology system of the data subject. In addition, cookies already in use by Google Analytics may be
deleted at any time via a web browser or other software programs.
In addition, the data subject has the possibility of objecting to a collection of data that are generated by
Google Analytics, which is related to the use of this website, as well as the processing of this data by Google
and the chance to preclude any such. For this purpose, the data subject must download a browser add-on under the
link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and install it. This browser add-on tells Google Analytics through
a JavaScript, that any data and information about the visits of Internet pages may not be transmitted to Google
Analytics. The installation of the browser add-ons is considered an objection by Google. If the information
technology system of the data subject is later deleted, formatted, or newly installed, then the data subject must
reinstall the browser add-ons to disable Google Analytics. If the browser add-on was uninstalled by the data
subject or any other person who is attributable to their sphere of competence, or is disabled, it is possible to
execute the reinstallation or reactivation of the browser add-ons.
Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under
https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/ and under http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/us.html.
Google Analytics is further explained under the following Link https://www.google.com/analytics/.
13. Data protection provisions about the application and use of LinkedIn
The controller has integrated components of the LinkedIn Corporation on this website. LinkedIn is a web-based social
network that enables users with existing business contacts to connect and to make new business contacts.
Over 400 million registered people in more than 200 countries use LinkedIn. Thus, LinkedIn is currently the largest
platform for business contacts and one of the most visited websites in the world.
The operating company of LinkedIn is LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court Mountain View, CA 94043, UNITED
STATES. For privacy matters outside of the UNITED STATES LinkedIn Ireland, Privacy Policy Issues, Wilton Plaza,
Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland, is responsible.
With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet site, which is operated by the controller and
on which a LinkedIn component (LinkedIn plug-in) was integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology
system of the data subject is automatically prompted to the download of a display of the corresponding LinkedIn
component of LinkedIn. Further information about the LinkedIn plug-in may be accessed under
https://developer.linkedin.com/plugins. During the course of this technical procedure, LinkedIn gains knowledge
of what specific sub-page of our website was visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is logged in at the same time on LinkedIn, LinkedIn detects with every call-up to our website
by the data subject—and for the entire duration of their stay on our Internet site—which specific sub-page of our
Internet page was visited by the data subject. This information is collected through the LinkedIn component and
associated with the respective LinkedIn account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the
LinkedIn buttons integrated on our website, then LinkedIn assigns this information to the personal LinkedIn user
account of the data subject and stores the personal data.
LinkedIn receives information via the LinkedIn component that the data subject has visited our website, provided
that the data subject is logged in at LinkedIn at the time of the call-up to our website. This occurs regardless
of whether the person clicks on the LinkedIn button or not. If such a transmission of information to LinkedIn is

14. Payment Method: Data protection provisions about the use of PayPal as a payment processor
On this website, the controller has integrated components of PayPal. PayPal is an online payment service provider.
Payments are processed via so-called PayPal accounts, which represent virtual private or business accounts.
PayPal is also able to process virtual payments through credit cards when a user does not have a PayPal account.
A PayPal account is managed via an e-mail address, which is why there are no classic account numbers. PayPal makes
it possible to trigger online payments to third parties or to receive payments. PayPal also accepts trustee
functions and offers buyer protection services.
The European operating company of PayPal is PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. & Cie. S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, 2449
Luxembourg, Luxembourg.
If the data subject chooses "PayPal" as the payment option in the online shop during the ordering process, we
automatically transmit the data of the data subject to PayPal. By selecting this payment option, the data subject
agrees to the transfer of personal data required for payment processing.
The personal data transmitted to PayPal is usually first name, last name, address, email address, IP address,
telephone number, mobile phone number, or other data necessary for payment processing. The processing of the
purchase contract also requires such personal data, which are in connection with the respective order.
The transmission of the data is aimed at payment processing and fraud prevention. The controller will transfer
personal data to PayPal, in particular, if a legitimate interest in the transmission is given. The personal data
exchanged between PayPal and the controller for the processing of the data will be transmitted by PayPal to economic
credit agencies. This transmission is intended for identity and creditworthiness checks.
PayPal will, if necessary, pass on personal data to affiliates and service providers or subcontractors to the extent
that this is necessary to fulfill contractual obligations or for data to be processed in the order.
The data subject has the possibility to revoke consent for the handling of personal data at any time from PayPal.
A revocation shall not have any effect on personal data which must be processed, used or transmitted in accordance
with (contractual) payment processing.

15. Legal basis for the processing
Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific
processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the
data subject is party, as is the case, for example, when processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods
or to provide any other service, the processing is based on Article 6(1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such
processing operations which are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of
inquiries concerning our products or services. Is our company subject to a legal obligation by which processing of
personal data is required, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6(1) lit.
c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data
subject or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company
and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital
or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6(1) lit. d GDPR. Finally, processing operations
could be based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered
by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests
pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or
fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data. Such processing
operations are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator.
He considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a client of the controller
(Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).
16. The legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party
Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR our legitimate interest is to carry out
our business in favor of the well-being of all our employees and the shareholders.
17. Period for which the personal data will be stored
The criteria used to determine the period of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period.
After expiration of that period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, as long as it is no longer necessary
for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of a contract.
18. Provision of personal data as statutory or contractual requirement; Requirement necessary to enter into a contract;
Obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of failure to provide such data
We clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also result
from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary to conclude
a contract that the data subject provides us with personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us. The
data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with personal data when our company signs a contract with him or
her. The non-provision of the personal data would have the consequence that the contract with the data subject could
not be concluded. Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact any employee.
The employee clarifies to the data subject whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract
or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and
the consequences of non-provision of the personal data.
19. Existence of automated decision-making
As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.
