We do not use profiling or automated decision-making.
The legal bases for these data processing operations are
- the fulfilment of our pre-contractual and contractual obligations towards you,
- consent obtained from you,

- our legitimate interests (e.g. improving our customer service, including in the area of direct advertising, or safeguarding our own legal interests).
The storage period is determined by the duration of our business relationship, the consent you have given and, beyond this, the statutory retention requirements and legal obligations applicable to us. We emphasise that, in the case of regular cooperation, we endeavour, in order to provide the best possible customer service, to know the customer wishes you have already communicated to us well enough to ensure your ongoing and lasting satisfaction.
