According to the GDPR, data processing is permitted in three cases in particular:
We collect inventory data to the extent that it is necessary for the establishment, content design or change of a contractual relationship (including a free one) between us and the user. This may include: customer data (e.g. name, address), contact data (e.g. email address, telephone number), service data (e.g. service ordered, duration, fee). When establishing the usage relationship, we will request this data from you (e.g. name, address and email address) and also inform you to what extent the information is bindingly required to establish the usage relationship.
We also collect usage data to enable the user to use the services on our website. This may include: usage information (e.g. websites or areas accessed, length of visit, interest in services), content data (e.g. data entered or uploaded by you, texts, images, sounds, videos), metadata (e.g. Identity of your device, location, IP address).
We will only combine usage data if and to the extent this is necessary for billing purposes. Otherwise, we will only create usage data pseudonymously and only if you have not objected to this. You can send this objection at any time to the address given in the legal notice or to the person responsible named in this data protection declaration.
The legal basis for this data processing is, on the one hand, our legitimate interests in accordance with Art. 6 Paragraph 1 Letter b GDPR.
