We collect, use and are responsible for certain personal data about you. When we do so we are subject to the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) in relation to goods and services we offer to individuals and our wider operations in the European Union (EU).

The categories of personal data processed include:

We process personal data which we have obtained from business relationships or enquiries. As a rule, we receive this data directly from the contractual partner or a person making an enquiry. However, personal data may also originate from public sources (e.g. commercial register), provided that the processing of this data is permitted.

Data may also have been legitimately transmitted to us by other companies, such as affiliated companies. Depending on the individual case, we also store our own information on this data (e.g. as part of an ongoing business relationship).

3.  Purpose of the processing and legal basis

In this context, we use your personal data for the following commercial or business purposes:
