The purpose of data processing on this website is to provide information about our services as well as a platform for conducting and monitoring the success of online data protection training, combined with the opportunity for you to contact us.

In providing our website, we comply with the requirements of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), the Federal Data Protection Act (FDPA), the German Digital Services Act (DDG) and the Telecommunications Digital Services Data Protection Act (TDDDG). We process personal data in particular in accordance with the following legal bases:

• 6 (1) (a) GDPR for the processing of personal data with the consent of the data subject.

• 6 (1) (b) GDPR for the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a contract with the data subject, as well as for taking appropriate steps prior to entering into a contract.

• 6 (1) (c) GDPR for the processing of personal data necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject in accordance with the applicable EU law or in accordance with the applicable law of a country in which the GDPR is applicable in whole or in part.

• 6 (1) (f) GDPR for the processing of personal data necessary to protect the legitimate interests pursued by us or by a third party unless such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject. Legitimate interests are, in particular, our commercial interest to be able to provide our website, the security of information, the enforcement of our own legal claims and the compliance with further legislation.

We use service providers who are separately bound to confidentiality and data protection as part of the provision of services. These are hosting providers and consulting companies. Data will only be passed on to authorities if overriding legal provisions apply. Transmission to third countries only takes place if the requirements of Art. 44 et seq. GDPR are complied with.
