Legal basis for data processing
We process your personal data in compliance with the provisions of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and all other relevant laws.
First and foremost, the processing of data serves to fulfill a contract of which the contracting party is the data subject or to carry out pre-contractual action. The primary legal basis for this is Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR. Possibly, we use your separate personal consent acc. Art. 6 para. 1 a) and 7 GDPR as data protection permission.
We also process your data in order to fulfill our legal obligations, in particular in the field of tax law. This is done on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 c) GDPR.
As far as necessary, we also process your data on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 f) of the GDPR in order to protect the legitimate interests of us or third parties (e.g. authorities). This applies in particular to the investigation of criminal offenses or internal communication and other administrative and marketing purposes.
We also process your data for direct mailing and for existing customers to send information about similar products or services by email, which you can always object to. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 f) GDPR.
Should we wish to process your personal data for a purpose not mentioned above, we will inform you in advance.
Whom do we transfer your data?
Within our company, only the persons and entities (eg technical departments) receive your personal data, as far as needed to fulfill our contractual and legal obligations.
Outside our company, your data is passed on to companies of the LEWA-NIKKISOGroup or, as far as necessary, to the commercial agencies or external service providers commissioned by LEWA GmbH. Furthermore, credit bureaus and collection agencies can get the data. The legal basis for this is Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR and Article 6 (1) (b) GDPR.
Insofar as external service providers receive personal data, we urgently require legal, technical and organizational measures to comply with data protection regulations.
A data transfer to a third country only takes place where a responsible company of the LEWA-NIKKISO group takes care of your business relationship and order processing..
Any further disclosure of your personal data to third parties will only be carried out with your consent, unless there is a legal obligation to do so or to protect the rights, property and safety of LEWA GmbH.
