If personal data concerning you is incorrect or incomplete, you have a right to rectification and/or completion in accordance with Art. 16 DSGVO.

3. right to deletion

If the legal requirements of Art. 17 DSGVO are met, you can demand that we delete your data if we process it unlawfully or if the processing disproportionately interferes with your legitimate interests in protection. Please note that there may be reasons that preclude immediate deletion, e.g. in the case of legally regulated retention obligations.Irrespective of the exercise of your right to deletion, we will immediately and completely delete your data in order to fulfill our legal deletion obligations after the purpose of processing has ceased to apply, insofar as no legal transaction or statutory retention period in this regard precludes this.

4. right to restriction of processing

You may request us to restrict the processing of your data in the cases specified in Art. 18 DSGVO. If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, this data - apart from its storage - may only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of an important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.

5. right to data portability

According to Art. 20 DSGVO, you have the right to have data provided by you, which we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, handed over to you or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible. The right to data portability does not apply to processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

6. right of objection

If we process your data on the basis of a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6(1)(f) DSGVO, you may object to this data processing at any time on grounds relating to your particular situation; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions (see Art. 21 DSGVO).

If you object, your personal data will subsequently no longer be used for the purpose of direct marketing. You may object to the processing of your data for the purpose of direct advertising at any time without giving reasons.

7. right to revoke the declaration of consent under data protection law

Please note that even after revocation of consent, processing of the data concerned may continue to be possible in whole or in part on the basis of other legal grounds.

8. right to complain to a supervisory authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your residence, place of work or the place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes the GDPR (Art. 77 GDPR in conjunction with Section 19 BDSG).

III. statistical analysis of the website / coverage increase / tracking to measure the success of advertising campaigns and optimization of the display of advertising

1. google analytics

Description of data processing

This website uses functions of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter: "Google"). Google Analytics also uses cookies. The information generated by a Google cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google processes the data and we receive reports about your user behavior. These may include, but are not limited to, the following reports:

  • Target group reports: Through target group reports, we get to know our users better and know more precisely who is interested in our service.
  • Ad reports: Ad reports make it easier for us to analyze and improve our online advertising.
  • Acquisition reports: Acquisition reports give us helpful information on how to get more people interested in our service.
  • Behavior reports: This is where we learn how you interact with our website. We can track which path you take on our site and which links you click.
  • Conversion reports: Conversion is the name given to a process in which you take a desired action as a result of a marketing message. For example, when you go from being just a website visitor to a buyer or newsletter subscriber. These reports help us learn more about how our marketing efforts are resonating with you. This is how we aim to increase our conversion rate.
  • Real-time reports: Here we always know immediately what is happening on our website. For example, we can see how many users are reading this text.

Google Analytics uses a tracking code to create a random, unique ID associated with your browser cookie. This is how Google Analytics recognizes you as a new user. The next time you visit our site, you will be recognized as a "returning" user. All collected data is stored together with this user ID. This is how it is possible to evaluate pseudonymous user profiles in the first place.

Through identifiers such as cookies and app instance IDs, your interactions on our website are measured. Interactions are all types of actions you perform on our website. If you also use other Google systems (such as a Google account), data generated through Google Analytics may be linked to third-party cookies. Google does not share Google Analytics data unless we, as the website operator, authorize it. Exceptions may occur if required by law. You can view the cookies set by Google Analytics in our embedded cookie consent tool CookieHub.

We inform you that this website uses Google Analytics exclusively with the extension "anonymizeIp()". Your IP address is thus not stored in full and is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. The identification of the visitor to the website is excluded. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Incidentally, below we show you an overview of the most important data that is collected with Google Analytics:

  • Heatmaps: Google creates so-called heatmaps. Heatmaps allow you to see exactly those areas that you click on. This gives us information about where you are "on the move" on our site.
  • Session duration: Google defines session duration as the time you spend on our site without leaving. If you have been inactive for 20 minutes, the session ends automatically.
  • Bounce rate: A bounce rate is when you view only one page on our website and then leave our website again.
  • Account creation: When you create an account or place an order on our website, Google Analytics collects this data.
  • Location: The IP address can be used to determine the country and your approximate location. This process is also called IP location determination.
  • Technical information: Technical information may include your browser type, Internet service provider, or screen resolution.
  • Source of origin: Google Analytics or us, of course, also interested in which website or which advertising you came to our site.
  • Other data includes contact information, any ratings, playing media (for example, if you play a video through our site), sharing content through social media, or adding to your favorites.

The list does not claim to be complete and only serves as a general orientation of the data storage by Google Analytics.

For more information about the processing of data by Google, please read Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de 

Legal basis and purpose of data processing

We use Google Analytics to evaluate the use of our website and services, to compile reports on the activities on our website and services and to provide us with other services related to the use of our website and services and internet usage. We also use Google Analytics to analyze data from AdWords and the Double Click cookie for statistical purposes. Since we as website and service operators have a great interest in this analysis of user behavior in order to optimize both our website and services, as well as our offers placed there and our advertising, we ask you to give your consent to the use of Google Analytics and the storage of Google Analytics cookies on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO.

The information generated by the cookie about your use of our website or our services will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. In the event that IP anonymization is activated, however, your IP address will be truncated beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Nevertheless, in exceptional cases, the full IP address may be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. By agreeing to the cookies used by Google Analytics being switched on, you also consent to your data being processed in the USA in accordance with Art. 49 (1) p. 1 lit. a DSGVO. The USA is considered by the European Court of Justice to be a country with an insufficient level of data protection according to EU standards. In particular, there is a risk that your data may be processed by US authorities for control and monitoring purposes, possibly without the possibility of legal redress. If you click the "Reject all cookies" button or make a limited selection without cookies from Google, the described transmission to Google will not take place. You can revoke the consent you have given at any time with effect for the future.

Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website or services, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. According to its own information, Google may also transfer this information to third parties on its own responsibility if this is required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google. Google has contractually agreed not to associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. In order to safeguard this and the data processing carried out for us, we have concluded a contract with Google for the processing of data on behalf of Google.

Description of data processing

We use Google Ads, a service of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, offered in Europe by Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland to integrate advertisements within our online offer and to draw attention to our attractive offers with the help of advertising media on external websites. This enables us to determine how successful individual advertising measures are. These advertising media are delivered by Google via so-called "AdServers". Google AdWords uses cookies for this purpose (see the general explanations above). With the setting of the cookie, an analysis of the use of our websites is made possible. Each time one of the individual pages of the website operated by us and on which a Google Ads component has been integrated is called up, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically caused by the respective Google Ads component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online advertising and the settlement of commissions. As part of this technical process, Google obtains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which Google uses, among other things, to track the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently enable commission settlements. The following information is usually stored as analysis values for the cookie used: unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions), opt-out information (marking that the user no longer wishes to be addressed). These cookies allow Google to recognize your web browser. If you do not agree with the storage of cookies on your computer, please follow general instructions on this or at the end of this explanation.In addition, Google Ads uses so-called web beacons (invisible graphics). These web beacons can be used to evaluate information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this offer. The information generated by cookies and web beacons about the use of our website, including your IP address and the delivery of advertising formats will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. This information may be passed on by Google to contractual partners of Google (see https://support.google.com/admanage r/answer/94149?visit_id=637060482444635472-69980806&rd=1). In detail, we have no influence on the data collected by Google, nor are we aware of the full extent of the data collection and the storage period. However, to the best of our knowledge, Google will not merge your IP address with other data stored by you. However, if you are logged into a Google account, your data can be directly assigned. If you do not wish this assignment to your Google profile, please log out before using our online offer.

4. applications to Peter Park 

Description of data processing

On our website, under the heading "Careers", we inform you from time to time about vacancies at Peter Park and, if applicable, about the possibility of completing internships or apprenticeships with us, or working with us as part of a dual study program or as a student trainee.
If you send us your application as a result or as part of a speculative application, we regularly process personal and contact data such as: First and last name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, date of birth. 

In addition, we process the data that you send us with your application documents (resume, photographs, references, etc.). Which of the data provided to us is processed in detail depends largely on the position to be filled. At the very least, we require data regarding your previous educational/professional background, your qualifications, your skills and personal details in order to be able to assess whether your application is suitable for the vacant position. In this context, the processing of your data is generally mandatory for the preparation and completion of the application process. If you do not provide us with any or sufficient data, this may result in us not being able to consider you as an applicant when filling a position, having to reject you as an applicant or no longer being able to carry out the application process. 

We do not require any information from you that is not usable under the General Equal Treatment Act under German law or any other national or international equal treatment law. Please also do not forward to us any confidential information or trade secrets of your former or current employer.

We provide your data to those employees or organizational units that need it to fulfill our contractual and legal obligations or to process or pursue our legitimate interests, significantly the HR department and the management level of the department within which the position is to be filled. 

Pursuant to Section 164, Paragraph 1, Sentence 4 of the German Social Code, Book IX, we are obligated to inform the responsible representative body for severely disabled persons about every incoming application from persons with a severe disability and to provide the relevant data of the applicant.

Legal basis and purpose of data processing / data recipients

Personal data is primarily processed for the purpose of personnel selection to fill vacancies for the purpose of initiating an employment contract (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO, or Art. 88 DSGVO in conjunction with § 26 BDSG).

Based on a balancing of interests, data processing may take place beyond the actual initiation of an employment contract in order to protect our legitimate interests in the selection of personnel and the evaluation of whether an applicant and the vacant position are a good match (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO). This is permissible unless your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms require the protection of personal data. Data processing for the protection of legitimate interests takes place, for example, when using job boards, recruitment agencies, service providers to carry out recruiting procedures.
CVs, certificates and other data provided by you to us, may contain particularly sensitive information about mental and physical health, racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, memberships in a trade union or political party or sexual life. If you voluntarily provide us with such special personal data (see Art. 9 (1) DSGVO), the processing will be carried out under the additional conditions of Art. 9 (2) DSGVO. 

Duration of storage / possibility of objection and removal

Severely disabled applicants have the right under Section 164 (1) sentence 8 of the German Social Code IX to refuse the involvement of the relevant representative body for severely disabled persons and thus prevent the body from being notified. Please inform us as part of the application if you reject the involvement of the responsible representative for severely disabled persons.

If you are rejected or withdraw your application after the end of the application process, we will store your data for a period of 6 months from this point in time in order to comply with any obligations to provide evidence under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG) and to defend ourselves against any legal claims.

I. Am I obliged to provide data?

If you contact us with questions about our services, enter into contractual negotiations with us, accept one of our offers or other contractual agreements exist with us, we process the personal data you provide in this context. Which data is processed in detail depends largely on the relevant objects of purchase or the services that you obtain from us or that you request. The processing of your data in this context is usually mandatory for the preparation, conclusion and execution of the contract. If you do not provide us with this data, this may result in us having to refuse the conclusion of a contract or the execution of the order, or we would no longer be able to perform an existing contract. 

Insofar as we use data in the context of initiating or fulfilling a contract with a customer, business or cooperation partner, our interest in handling your data lies in enabling and maintaining the exchange with the customer or the respective business or cooperation partner, typically in the context of a contractual or other relationship. If you act as a contact person - typically in your function as an employee at these companies - you generally do not have an overriding opposing interest, insofar as this interaction with us is part of your area of responsibility, so that a right to object is regularly ruled out.

However, you can of course also contact us by telephone, fax, mail or alternatively via our provided e-mail address (see imprint) or e-mail addresses of our employees made known to you.

Your data will be used for the processing of the conversation and the follow-up of the respective request or meeting content. The processing of your data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO, insofar as the communication is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. 

In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO) in the effective processing of requests addressed to us. 

In this context, the data will not be disclosed to third parties unless it is necessary for the pursuit of our claims or legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO) or there is a legal obligation to do so (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c DSGVO).

III. Data processing within the scope of distribution

The processing of personal data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO for the provision of the service with which you commission us, in particular for the performance of our contracts or pre-contractual measures, as well as all activities associated with the operation and management of Peter Park necessary activities. 

The resulting purposes of data processing are primarily based on the specific activities and individual services agreed with you and may include, among other things, consulting activities or activities in the context of managing sales processes (e.g. compilation of documents, sending of Peter Park product or event information, the provision of services through Peter Park) or the support of sales negotiations and contract conclusions.

Further details on the scope, purpose of data processing and recipients of your data can be found in the respective contract documents and associated terms and conditions.

1. google analytics

Description of data processing

This website uses functions of the web analytics service Google Analytics. The provider is Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland (hereinafter: "Google"). Google Analytics also uses cookies. The information generated by a Google cookie about your use of this website is usually transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. Google processes the data and we receive reports about your user behavior. These may include, but are not limited to, the following reports:

  • Target group reports: Through target group reports, we get to know our users better and know more precisely who is interested in our service.
  • Ad reports: Ad reports make it easier for us to analyze and improve our online advertising.
  • Acquisition reports: Acquisition reports give us helpful information on how to get more people interested in our service.
  • Behavior reports: This is where we learn how you interact with our website. We can track which path you take on our site and which links you click.
  • Conversion reports: Conversion is the name given to a process in which you take a desired action as a result of a marketing message. For example, when you go from being just a website visitor to a buyer or newsletter subscriber. These reports help us learn more about how our marketing efforts are resonating with you. This is how we aim to increase our conversion rate.
  • Real-time reports: Here we always know immediately what is happening on our website. For example, we can see how many users are reading this text.

Google Analytics uses a tracking code to create a random, unique ID associated with your browser cookie. This is how Google Analytics recognizes you as a new user. The next time you visit our site, you will be recognized as a "returning" user. All collected data is stored together with this user ID. This is how it is possible to evaluate pseudonymous user profiles in the first place.

Through identifiers such as cookies and app instance IDs, your interactions on our website are measured. Interactions are all types of actions you perform on our website. If you also use other Google systems (such as a Google account), data generated through Google Analytics may be linked to third-party cookies. Google does not share Google Analytics data unless we, as the website operator, authorize it. Exceptions may occur if required by law. You can view the cookies set by Google Analytics in our embedded cookie consent tool CookieHub.

We inform you that this website uses Google Analytics exclusively with the extension "anonymizeIp()". Your IP address is thus not stored in full and is shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area before being transmitted to the USA. The identification of the visitor to the website is excluded. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. Incidentally, below we show you an overview of the most important data that is collected with Google Analytics:

  • Heatmaps: Google creates so-called heatmaps. Heatmaps allow you to see exactly those areas that you click on. This gives us information about where you are "on the move" on our site.
  • Session duration: Google defines session duration as the time you spend on our site without leaving. If you have been inactive for 20 minutes, the session ends automatically.
  • Bounce rate: A bounce rate is when you view only one page on our website and then leave our website again.
  • Account creation: When you create an account or place an order on our website, Google Analytics collects this data.
  • Location: The IP address can be used to determine the country and your approximate location. This process is also called IP location determination.
  • Technical information: Technical information may include your browser type, Internet service provider, or screen resolution.
  • Source of origin: Google Analytics or us, of course, also interested in which website or which advertising you came to our site.
  • Other data include contact details, any ratings, playing media (e.g., when you play a video via our site), sharing content via social media, or adding to your favorites. The enumeration does not claim to be complete and only serves as a general orientation of the data storage by Google Analytics.

For more information about the processing of data by Google, please read Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de 

Legal basis and purpose of data processing

We use Google Analytics to evaluate the use of our website and services, to compile reports on the activities on our website and services and to provide us with other services related to the use of our website and services and internet usage. We also use Google Analytics to analyze data from AdWords and the Double Click cookie for statistical purposes. Since we as website and service operators have a great interest in this analysis of user behavior in order to optimize both our website and services, as well as our offers placed there and our advertising, we ask you to give your consent to the use of Google Analytics and the storage of Google Analytics cookies on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a DSGVO.

The information generated by the cookie about your use of our website or our services will be transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States.

Nevertheless, in exceptional cases, the full IP address may be transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. By agreeing to the cookies used by Google Analytics being switched on, you also consent to your data being processed in the USA in accordance with Art. 49 (1) p. 1 lit. a DSGVO. The USA is considered by the European Court of Justice to be a country with an insufficient level of data protection according to EU standards. In particular, there is a risk that your data may be processed by US authorities for control and monitoring purposes, possibly without the possibility of legal redress. If you click the "Reject all cookies" button or make a limited selection without cookies from Google, the described transmission to Google will not take place. You can revoke the consent you have given at any time with effect for the future.

Google will use this information for the purpose of evaluating your use of the website or services, compiling reports on website activity for website operators and providing other services relating to website activity and internet usage. According to its own information, Google may also transfer this information to third parties on its own responsibility if this is required by law or if third parties process this data on behalf of Google. Google has contractually agreed not to associate your IP address with any other data held by Google. In order to safeguard this and the data processing carried out for us, we have concluded a contract with Google for the processing of data on behalf of Google.

As part of this technical process, Google obtains knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which Google uses, among other things, to track the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently enable commission settlements. The following information is usually stored as analysis values for the cookie used: unique cookie ID, number of ad impressions per placement (frequency), last impression (relevant for post-view conversions), opt-out information (marking that the user no longer wishes to be addressed). These cookies allow Google to recognize your web browser. If you do not agree with the storage of cookies on your computer, please follow general instructions on this or at the end of this explanation.In addition, Google Ads uses so-called web beacons (invisible graphics). These web beacons can be used to evaluate information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this offer.

Legal basis and purpose of data processing

The legal basis for the processing of data processed in the course of registration and use of the portal, as well as inquiries made via the portal or downloads used, is Art. 6 (1) lit. b DSGVO due to the intended conclusion and execution of a contract. Furthermore, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO is relevant, as the processing of personal data in connection with our portal serves to enable an effective way to contact and communicate with our respective sales and support teams, as well as the administration, processing and resolution of requests received via it and the secure connection between the end devices of the users and our servers.

Duration of storage / possibility of objection and removal

The data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. For the personal data from the input mask of the registration, this is usually the case when the respective usage process is completed. All personal data stored in the course of contacting us will be deleted at the latest when no legal requirements necessitate longer storage (for example, legal warranty periods in connection with support requests).

4. applications to Peter Park 

Description of data processing

On our website, under the heading "Careers", we inform you from time to time about vacancies at Peter Park and, if applicable, about the possibility of completing internships or apprenticeships with us, or working with us as part of a dual study program or as a student trainee.
If you send us your application as a result or as part of a speculative application, we regularly process personal and contact data such as: First and last name, address, e-mail address, telephone number, date of birth. 

In addition, we process the data that you send us with your application documents (resume, photographs, references, etc.). Which of the data provided to us is processed in detail depends largely on the position to be filled. At the very least, we require data regarding your previous educational/professional background, your qualifications, your skills and personal details in order to be able to assess whether your application is suitable for the vacant position. In this context, the processing of your data is generally mandatory for the preparation and completion of the application process. If you do not provide us with any or sufficient data, this may result in us not being able to consider you as an applicant when filling a position, having to reject you as an applicant or no longer being able to carry out the application process. 

We do not require any information from you that is not usable under the General Equal Treatment Act under German law or any other national or international equal treatment law. Please also do not forward to us any confidential information or trade secrets of your former or current employer.

We provide your data to those employees or organizational units that need it to fulfill our contractual and legal obligations or to process or pursue our legitimate interests, significantly the HR department and the management level of the department within which the position is to be filled. 

Pursuant to Section 164, Paragraph 1, Sentence 4 of the German Social Code, Book IX, we are obligated to inform the responsible representative body for severely disabled persons about every incoming application from persons with a severe disability and to provide the relevant data of the applicant.

Legal basis and purpose of data processing / data recipients

Personal data is primarily processed for the purpose of personnel selection to fill vacancies for the purpose of initiating an employment contract (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO, or Art. 88 DSGVO in conjunction with § 26 BDSG).

Based on a balancing of interests, data processing may take place beyond the actual initiation of an employment contract in order to protect our legitimate interests in personnel selection and assess whether an applicant and the vacant position are a good match (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO). This is permissible unless your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms require the protection of personal data. Data processing for the protection of legitimate interests occurs, for example, when using job boards, recruitment agencies, service providers to carry out recruiting procedures.

CVs, certificates and other data provided by you to us, may contain particularly sensitive information about mental and physical health, racial or ethnic origin, political opinions, religious or philosophical beliefs, memberships in a trade union or political party or sexual life. If you voluntarily provide us with such special personal data (see Art. 9 (1) DSGVO), the processing will be carried out under the additional conditions of Art. 9 (2) DSGVO. 

Duration of storage / possibility of objection and removal

Severely disabled applicants have the right under Section 164 (1) sentence 8 of the German Social Code IX to refuse the involvement of the relevant representative body for severely disabled persons and thus prevent the body from being notified. Please inform us as part of the application if you reject the involvement of the responsible representative for severely disabled persons.

If you are rejected or withdraw your application after the end of the application process, we will store your data for a period of 6 months from this point in time in order to comply with any obligations to provide evidence under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG) and to defend ourselves against any legal claims.

In the event of a successful application, we store the applicant data provided in the personnel file for the purpose and for the duration of the employment relationship.

C. Contractual relationships with customers and business partners

I. Am I obliged to provide data?

If you contact us with questions about our services, enter into contractual negotiations with us, accept one of our offers or other contractual agreements exist with us, we process the personal data you provide in this context. Which data is processed in detail depends largely on the relevant objects of purchase or the services that you obtain from us or that you request. The processing of your data in this context is usually mandatory for the preparation, conclusion and execution of the contract. If you do not provide us with this data, this may result in us having to refuse the conclusion of a contract or the execution of the order, or we would no longer be able to perform an existing contract. 

Insofar as we use data in the context of initiating or fulfilling a contract with a customer, business or cooperation partner, our interest in handling your data lies in enabling and maintaining the exchange with the customer or the respective business or cooperation partner, typically in the context of a contractual or other relationship. If you act as a contact person - typically in your function as an employee at these companies - you generally do not have an overriding opposing interest, insofar as this interaction with us is part of your area of responsibility, so that a right to object is regularly ruled out.

However, you are not obliged to give your consent to data processing with regard to data that is not relevant for the performance of the contract or that is not required by law.

II. communication

In principle, we collect the necessary data from you ourselves in personal contact. However, you can of course also contact us by telephone, fax, mail or alternatively via our provided e-mail address (see imprint) or e-mail addresses of our employees made known to you. In the latter case, the personal data transmitted with the e-mail will be stored. Please note that communication by e-mail is not encrypted for technical reasons.

Your data will be used for the processing of the conversation and the follow-up of the respective request or meeting content. The processing of your data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO, insofar as the communication is related to the performance of a contract or is necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures. 

In all other cases, the processing is based on our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO) in the effective processing of requests addressed to us. 

In this context, the data will not be disclosed to third parties unless it is necessary for the pursuit of our claims or legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO) or there is a legal obligation to do so (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c DSGVO).

III. Data processing within the scope of distribution

The processing of personal data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b DSGVO for the provision of the service with which you commission us, in particular for the performance of our contracts or pre-contractual measures, as well as all activities associated with the operation and management of Peter Park necessary activities. 

The resulting purposes of data processing are primarily based on the specific activities and individual services agreed with you and may include, among other things, consulting activities or activities in the context of managing sales processes (e.g. compilation of documents, sending of Peter Park product or event information, the provision of services through Peter Park) or the support of sales negotiations and contract conclusions.

Further details on the scope, purpose of data processing and recipients of your data can be found in the respective contract documents and associated terms and conditions.

As far as necessary in the context of our operational processes, we process your data in connection with our services beyond the actual fulfillment of the contract in order to protect our legitimate interests (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO). 

We may be subject to specific legal obligations in connection with the offering or provision of our services, such as requirements under tax legislation. The purposes of processing your data may therefore include, among others, the fulfillment of tax control and reporting obligations, customs or export regulations, and the assessment and management of risks. The data processing necessary for this is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. c DSGVO. 

IV. Data transmission 

Depending on the scope of the service, your data or documents may be passed on to public bodies or private service providers or persons with whom we regularly cooperate, both in the inquiry or offer phase and in the contract execution phase (see Part A Item V). 

D. Other

Due to the further development of our website, our services or our other offers as well as due to changed legal or official requirements, it may become necessary to change this data protection declaration. You can access the current data protection declaration at any time on our website and print it out if required.
