§ 3  What are personal data?

Personal data are individual details about personal or factual situations of a specific or identifiable natural person (data subject). This includes information such as your name, address, phone number, date of birth, or e-mail address. Information with which we cannot (or can only with a disproportionate effort) establish a reference to your person, e.g. by making the information anonymous, is not personal data.

 

§ 4  General information on data processing

 a) Scope

We generally only collect and use our business partners’ personal data where this is required for the preparation, execution and processing of a contractual relationships between our company and the business partner.

Your personal data will not be used for any other purpose, especially not for advertising purposes. We will not transmit your personal data to third parties without your consent, except in the cases outlined below, unless we are legally obliged to disclose the data.

If necessary, we will transmit personal data for the purposes listed under § 5 to to affiliated companies in the sense of §§ 15 et seq. AktG (Stock Corporation Act).

If necessary we will also, where legally permitted, transmit personal data to courts, supervisory authorities (esp. aviation safety authorities) or legal advisers in order to comply with applicable law or to assert, exercise or defend against legal claims.

Where we transmit data to service providers (e.g. providers of IT services) acting on behalf of our company, we will contractually oblige them in advance to comply with the applicable requirements of data protection law and they will be subject to our instructions.

b) Legal basis

When processing personal data which is required to pursue a contractual relationship with your company, Art. 6 para. 1 b GDPR will serve as the legal basis. Where processing personal data is required for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 c GDPR will serve as the legal basis.

If processing is required to protect a legitimate interest on the part of our company or a third party and the data subject’s interests, basic rights and basic freedoms do not outweigh the above interest, Art. 6 para. 1 f GDPR will serve as the legal basis for the processing. Our legitimate interest in the processing lies in ensuring the efficiency and effectiveness of our company’s activity and the effective execution of our contractual rela-tionship. Physical protection and security of our sites are the legitimate interest for video surveillance. Infor-mation signs indicate surveilled areas.

c) Data erasure and storage time

Your personal data shall be erased or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. However, the data may be stored if provided for by European or national laws or other statutory provisions to which the controller is subject. The data shall be blocked or erased at the end of a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards, unless the data needs to be stored further in order to conclude or implement a contract.

 

§ 5  Individual processing operations

  • Preparation, execution and processing of a contractual relationship, incl. associated communication.
  • Preparation and execution of conferences, campaigns, negotiations, customer/supplier surveys, invitations to trade fairs or events;
  • Risk management, especially in connection with the use of EPI IT systems, to prevent and identify illegal or contractually non-compliant conduct;

§ 7  Security measures to protect the data we store

We undertake to protect the personal data we store and to treat it as confidential. In order to avoid loss or misuse of the data we store, we take comprehensive technical and organisational measures, which are regularly checked and adapted to technological progress. We would like to point out, however, that due to the structure of the internet, it is possible that the data protection rules and the above-mentioned safety measures may not be observed by other persons or institutions outside our field of responsibility. In particular, data disclosed in unencrypted form – e.g. by email – may be read by third parties. We have no technical influence on this. It is the business partner’s responsibility to protect the data it provides from misuse by encryption or otherwise.
