As the providers of our software solutions, among others, offer their products and/or services on the basis of available resources and servers worldwide, your personal data may be transferred to other jurisdictions outside the European Union and the European Economic Area or accessed from such a jurisdiction outside the European Union. In particular, personal data is transferred to the third country USA within the meaning of Art. 15 para. 2 GDPR. In order to ensure the continuation of the necessary level of protection when transferring data to a third country, contractual measures are agreed for this purpose. The software provider has its registered office in the United States of America, which has not been recognized as providing an adequate level of data protection. In order to ensure suitable guarantees for the protection of the transfer and processing of personal data outside the EU, data is transferred to and processed by our service providers on the basis of suitable guarantees in accordance with Art. 46 ff GDPR, in particular through the conclusion of so-called standard data protection clauses in accordance with Art. 46 para. 2 lit. c GDPR.
5. Duration of the storage of personal data
We do not store your personal data for longer than is necessary for the purpose for which it was collected. This means that data is destroyed or deleted from our systems as soon as it is no longer required. We take appropriate measures to ensure that your personal data is only processed under the following conditions:
- For the duration that the data is used to provide you with a service.
- As required by applicable law, contract or with regard to our legal obligations
- Only for as long as necessary for the purpose for which the data was collected or longer if required by contract, applicable law, using appropriate safeguards.
A requirement may exist in particular if the data is still needed to fulfill contractual services, to check and grant or defend against warranty and, if applicable, guarantee claims. If the data is no longer required for the fulfillment of contractual or legal obligations, it is regularly deleted, unless its - temporary - retention is still necessary, in particular to fulfill legal retention periods of up to ten years (e.g. from the German Commercial Code, the German Fiscal Code and the German Money Laundering Act). In the case of statutory retention obligations, deletion will only be considered after the respective retention obligation has expired.
6. Obligation to provide the data
For a (planned) conclusion and execution of the contract with you, you must provide the personal data that is necessary for the establishment and execution of the contractual relationship and the fulfillment of the associated contractual obligations or that we are legally obliged to collect. Without this data, we will generally not be able to conclude and execute the contract with you.
