DATA PROCESSING FOR PROCESSING THE CONTRACT, ESTABLISHING CONTACT

We collect personal data that you disclose to us whenever you place an order or contact us (e.g. via contact form or by email).

Upon contract completion, any further processing of your data will be restricted, and your data will be deleted upon expiry of any retention period applicable under relevant regulations according to Art. 6 (1) lit. c) GDPR, unless you expressly agree to the further use of your data according to Art. 6 (1) lit. a) GDPR or we reserve the right to otherwise use your personal data in the scope and manner permitted by law, of which we inform you in this privacy policy.
