Company data, contact persons as well as contact information of the contact persons are primarily processed.

The forwarding of data mainly concerns company data (legal entities), but in special cases also natural persons.

After cancellation of the purchase process, the data stored by us will be kept for 6 months and then deleted (if no purchase takes place). In the event of a contract being concluded, all data from the contractual relationship will be stored until the expiry of the retention period under tax law (7 years).
