8. Duty to supply information as per Art. 13 of the GDPR
Data protection information according to Art. 13 and 21 of the GDPR
Data controller:
The Pöppelmann Group is responsible for the collection and processing of data.
Voluntary information:
In principle, we only collect data that is required by law or necessary for the conclusion or execution of a contract or has been provided to us voluntarily and with consent. Specifying further information is voluntary. There are no negative consequences for the non-provision of this data. Nevertheless, non-provision may in individual cases complicate or delay communication.
Data processing for contract fulfilment:
We process the collected data in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b of the GDPR for the purpose of contract fulfilment. This also includes the accompanying customer case.
If necessary, personal data is transmitted to the companies involved in the execution of this contract, e.g. credit institutions for payment processing.
The data required for contract fulfilment will be deleted after the purpose has been achieved and will only be kept available for any further enquiries. The data will not be deleted after contract termination if claims are still open and need to be collected. In the event of legal retention periods, the data concerned will be archived for the duration of such a period.
Data processing for the protection of legitimate interests:
We only process your data for the protection of legitimate interests if there is no corresponding consent and no other legal basis for data processing, and only if the requirements of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f of the GDPR are met, in other words if our interests or those of a third party in the data processing override your interests or fundamental rights and freedoms. The data will be deleted once the legitimate interest ceases to exist, but at least for the duration of any statutory retention requirements.
You have the right to object to the data processing. For more information, please see the following point “Rights of the data subject”.
Data processing based on consent:
If you have given your consent to be informed by us about the company’s products and services via telephone or e-mail, the corresponding processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a of the GDPR. Your consent may be revoked at any time without prejudice to the lawfulness of all previous processing. If consent is revoked, we will discontinue the corresponding data processing.
Data processing for direct advertising:
As far as is permissible, we process your data for the purpose of direct advertising, in particular for sending our advertising, such as product or event information. Data processing is carried out based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f of the GDPR and in the interests of informing you about new products, events and services. Every customer has the right to object to this processing; exercising this right will lead to the termination of processing for the purpose of direct advertising. If data is only stored for direct advertising, it will be deleted once an objection is made.
Data processing for the fulfilment of legal obligations:
If necessary, we process your data in order to fulfil legal duties to, for instance, financial authorities. Data processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c of the GDPR. The legal obligation arises i.a. from Section 147 of the General Tax Code. The data will be deleted upon expiry of the legally applicable period provided there is no interest in further storage.
Data recipient:
We only transmit your data to third parties (e.g. lawyers for the enforcement of outstanding claims) if transmission authorisation in accordance with data protection legislation (e.g. according to the case groups mentioned above) is present.
Your data may also be forwarded by us to external providers (e.g. IT service providers, companies that destroy or archive data, print service providers, cloud providers) which support us in data processing as part of order processing under our strict instruction.
In principle, data processing outside of the EU or EEA does not take place. If such data transmission does take place, this is only carried out in countries in respect of which an EU adequacy decision has been issued on the basis of an EU standard contract as per Art. 46 Para. 2 lit. c of the GDPR. Upon your request, we will gladly grant you access to the contract or provide you with a copy. We will not sell or otherwise market your personal information to third parties.

Rights of the data subject:
Data subjects have the right to information from the data controller regarding the personal data concerning them, as well as the right to correct inaccurate data, and deletion thereof if one of the reasons stipulated in Art. 17 of the GDPR exists, e.g. if the data is no longer required for the purposes pursued. There is also the right to restrict processing if one of the requirements specified in Art. 18 of the GDPR is met and, in the case of Art. 20 of the GDPR, the right to data portability. If data is collected based on Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. e (data processing to fulfil official obligations or to protect public interest) or lit. f (data processing for the protection of legitimate interests), the data subject has the right to object to the processing at any time for reasons arising from their particular situation. We shall no longer process personal data unless there are compelling, legitimate reasons for the processing that prevail over the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject or the processing is required for the purpose of enforcing, exercising or defending legal claims.
Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority:
Every data subject has the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if they believe that the processing of their personal data is contrary to the data protection provisions. In particular, a complaint may be lodged with a supervisory authority in the data subject’s place of residence or in the place of the alleged infringement.
