1. Definition of terms

biehl. parfumkunstwerke's data protection policy is based on the provisions and definitions of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

In order to ensure this, we would like to define the terms used beforehand:

6) Third party
A third party is a natural or legal person or public authority who processes personal data on behalf of the controller or processor.

Processing is any operation performed in connection with personal data. This ranges from the collection and storage to the restriction or erasure of personal data.

9. Forwarding data

biehl. parfumkunstwerke may issue instructions for your contact data to be forwarded on to one or more processors, for example a parcel service provider, who will also use the personal data exclusively for internal purposes, which are to be ascribed to the controller.
Our contracts with all the relevant processors ensure that these service providers also comply with the provisions of the GDPR.

10. Legal basis for processing

The legal basis for processing personal data on our website is either our legitimate interest in acquiring you as a future customer, e.g. as a pre-contractual measure, informing you of our products and services, or to fulfil our contractual obligations towards you as the data subject, if an order has been placed that would necessitate the delivery of goods. Legal retention obligations or the obligation to provide statements to government authorities may, as a result, become a legal basis, in and of themselves. We will obtain your revocable consent for all other processing operations, e.g. newsletters.

11. Period for which the personal data will be stored

The storage of personal data is limited to the statutory retention period. After this period has expired, the corresponding data will be deleted, insofar as it is no longer necessary for the fulfilment of the contract or the initiation of a contract.
