Information on the purpose of personal data processing

One of the principles of personal data processing is the principle of purpose limitation. Pursuant to this principle, personal data may only be obtained for a specifically determined, explicitly stated and authorized purpose and may not be further processed in a manner that is incompatible with this purpose.

The processing of personal data should be closely linked to the purpose of the processing of personal data, especially with regard to the list or scope of the processed personal data, which should be necessary in order for the purpose to be achieved by the processing of the given personal data. It is not correct for the list or scope of personal data to be artificially or additionally expanded with respect to the purpose. If the purpose and list or scope of personal data is determined by law, it must be respected, if the list or scope of processed personal data is determined by the operator, he should take care not to expand it unnecessarily, beyond the scope of the purpose.

The Personal Data Protection Act stipulates the operator’s obligation to provide the data subject with information about the purpose of personal data processing for which his/her personal data is intended, even if the personal data is not obtained directly from the data subject. It is necessary that this information be provided to the person concerned at the latest when obtaining his personal data, or in sufficient time in advance, clearly and comprehensibly and in such a way that he can really familiarize himself with and understand this information.

We therefore process your personal data for the purpose of fulfilling legal obligations in the area of ​​taxes and accounting, for the purpose of implementing your orders, ordered services, invoicing or for the purpose of delivering orders to your contact address.

The period of storage of personal data is determined by the relevant law, which applies to the given document in accordance with the storage period according to the registry record. If you are interested, do not hesitate to contact us and we will inform you of the exact retention period for a specific document.

Legal basis of personal data processing
