Agency Services
We process our customers’ data as part of our contractual services, which include conceptual and strategic consulting, campaign planning, software and design development/consulting or maintenance, campaign and process implementation/management, server administration, data analysis/consulting services, and training services. In doing so, we process master data (e.g., customer master data such as names or addresses), contact data (e.g., email, phone numbers), content data (e.g., text entries, photographs, videos), contract data (e.g., subject matter of the contract, term), payment data (e.g., bank details, payment history), usage and metadata (e.g., in the context of evaluating and measuring the success of marketing measures). We generally do not process special categories of personal data, unless they are part of commissioned processing. Data subjects include our customers, prospective customers, and their customers, users, website visitors, or employees, as well as third parties. The purpose of the processing is to provide contractual services, billing, and our customer service. The legal basis for processing is derived from Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR (contractual services) and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR (analysis, statistics, optimization, security measures). We process data necessary for the establishment and fulfillment of contractual services and indicate the necessity of providing such data. Disclosure to third parties occurs only if required within the scope of a contract. When processing data entrusted to us within the scope of a contract, we act in accordance with the client’s instructions and the legal requirements for data processing on behalf of a client pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR, and we process the data for no other purposes than those specified in the contract. We delete the data after the expiration of statutory warranty and comparable obligations. The necessity of retaining the data is reviewed every three years; in the case of statutory archiving obligations, deletion occurs after their expiration (6 years, pursuant to Section 257(1) of the German Commercial Code (HGB), 10 years, pursuant to Section 147(1) of the German Fiscal Code (AO)). In the case of data disclosed to us by the client within the scope of an order, we delete the data in accordance with the terms of the order, generally upon completion of the order. Administration, Financial Accounting, Office Organization, Contact Management We process data in the context of administrative tasks as well as the organization of our operations, financial accounting, and compliance with legal obligations, such as archiving. In doing so, we process the same data that we process in the course of providing our contractual services. The legal bases for processing are Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR and Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. This processing affects customers, prospective customers, business partners, and website visitors. The purpose and our interest in the processing lie in administration, financial accounting, office organization, and data archiving—that is, tasks that serve to maintain our business operations, fulfill our duties, and provide our services. The deletion of data regarding contractual services and contractual communication corresponds to the information provided for these processing activities. In this context, we disclose or transfer data to tax authorities, advisors such as tax consultants or auditors, as well as other billing agencies and payment service providers. Furthermore, based on our business interests, we store information regarding suppliers, event organizers, and other business partners, e.g., for the purpose of contacting them at a later date. We generally store this predominantly company-related data on a permanent basis.
