5. Storage period and blocking of personal data
Unless a more specific storage period is given within our privacy policies, we will delete your personal data as as soon as it is no longer required in order to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected. When you use the website purely for information purposes, the IP address is deleted from all systems used in connection with the operation of this website within 7 days. We will no longer be able to identify you from the remaining data.
If you use other services on our website, your data is usually stored on our systems for user management purposes. This data is regularly reviewed to determine whether it can be deleted. If data is no longer required in a relationship with a customer or interested party or if there is an overriding conflicting interest, we will delete the data concerned, provided that this is not prohibited by statutory retention obligations.
We will also delete your data if the storage of this data is not permitted (e.g. if the data is incorrect and it is not possible to correct it). Your data will be blocked instead of deleted if there are legal or factual obstacles preventing its deletion (e.g. special retention obligations).
If you make an authorised deletion request or revoke consent to data processing, your data will be deleted as soon as we no longer have any other legally permitted reason to store your personal data (e.g. retention periods relating to tax or commercial law); in the latter case, the data will be deleted when this reason no longer applies.
6. Transfer of data to third parties/ use of cookies
As a general rule, we do not pass on the data that you provide to us to third parties without your express consent.
Our website uses cookies. Information on the use of cookies on our website can be found in our declaration on the use of cookies.
7. Right to object to data collection in special cases as well as to direct marketing (Article 21 GDPR)
If we pursue our legitimate interest or a legitimate interest of a third party as the legal basis for processing personal data (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR), you have a right to object in accordance with Article 21 GDPR:
In accordance with Article 21 GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing of personal data at any time. We will then no longer process the personal data for the purposes of direct marketing or associated profiling.
Moreover, we will not process your personal data for other purposes after receiving an objection unless we can provide compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to establish, exercise or defend legal claims (see, for example, Article 21(1) GDPR, so-called "restricted right to object"). In this case, you must provide reasons for the objection, which result from your particular situation.
You can also make an objection to the processing of your personal data for reasons which result from your particular situation for processing which takes place for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes in accordance with Article 89(1) GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest (see Article 21(6) GDPR).
8. Legal basis of the processing.
For processing activities carried out by RE:CORE for which we require consent for a specific purpose, the legal basis of the processing is Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR. If the processing of personal data is necessary in order to perform a contract where the data subject is you, such as processing activities that are required to deliver goods or provide another service or consideration, this processing is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. The same applies to processing activities that are required for pre-contractual measures.
We have a legal obligation to process personal data, for instance to fulfil tax obligations; these processing activities are carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(c) GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be required to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were to be injured and their name, age, health insurance details and other vital information needed to be given to a doctor, hospital or other third party. The basis for this data processing would be Article 6(1)(d) GDPR.
Finally, processing activities may be carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Processing activities that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are carried out on this legal basis if the processing activity concerned is necessary for the purposes of our legitimate interests or those of a third party, provided that such interests are not overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject. We are permitted to carry out such processing activities in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. The legislator considers that a legitimate interest could exist if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Sentence 2 of Recital 47 GDPR).
As soon as you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your end device, the data will also be processed on the basis of Section 25(1) of the German Telecommunications and Telemedia Data Protection Act (Telekommunikation-Telemedien-Datenschutzgesetz – TTDSG). The consent may be revoked at any time.
