4. Processing of your data outside of these websites

4.1 General  

We also process your personal data outside of these websites if you contact us in writing, by telephone or by e-mail with a request or inquiry and provide us with personal data (e.g. your contact details). Furthermore, we process personal data of yours if you or your company is a business partner, customer or service provider of ours, i.e. in a contractual relationship with us, for purposes of executing this contract, or if data processing is necessary for another reason, e.g. in the context of an application in response to an invitation to tender.

Depending on the context, your data will be processed on different legal bases within the meaning of article 6 of the GDPR. Depending on the context, this is in particular

1. your expression of consent pursuant to article 6, paragraph 1, point (a), of the GDPR (e.g. when requesting our customer magazine); or

2. where the processing is necessary for fulfilling a contractual relationship with us or for implementing precontractual measures which occur at your request, article 6, paragraph 1, point (b), of the GDPR (e.g. upon telephone request for the purpose of ordering a product); or

3. where the processing is necessary to comply with a legal obligation to which we are subject, article 6, paragraph 1, point (c), of the GDPR (e.g. compliance with legal obligations to retain records or obligations to provide information to authorities); or

4. where the processing is necessary to safeguard an overriding legitimate interest within the meaning of article 6, paragraph 1, point (f), of the GDPR (e.g. when asserting legal claims, in conducting internal and external investigations to identify, resolve and prosecute breaches of internal policies and/or legal requirements or for the video surveillance of our operating facilities to protect against unauthorized access).

If you have given us your consent to process data for specific purposes (e.g. recording events), this consent is the basis for this data processing, Art. 6 para. 1 a) GDPR.

5.  General

5.1. Recipients

RRPS and other affiliated companies house central functions of the RRPS Group – e.g. Marketing & Communications, Sales, Purchasing and central admin functions such as Legal, etc. – which act on behalf of the entire group and may process your personal data within this context. The processing of personal data by these central functions is also undertaken on the basis of the aforementioned bases in law. If, for example, when carrying out procurement processes or processing contracts, affiliated companies other than RRPS must also be involved because they perform central functions within the group, personal data is exchanged between the affiliated companies involved to the extent necessary. The legal basis for this is the overriding legitimate interest of the company in organizing internal administrative procedures efficiently – article 6, paragraph 1, point (f), of the GDPR.

The following categories of recipients may also receive your personal data:

• Service providers for the operation of our website and the processing of data stored or transmitted by the systems (e.g. for data processing centre services, payment processing, IT security). These are usually processors with whom we have concluded corresponding data processing agreements.  
• Print service providers (processors) in the context of sending e.g. information and newsletters in print form.  
• Business partners (e.g. suppliers, distributors and service partners). The data transfer takes place on the basis of our legitimate interest (article 6, paragraph 1, point (f), of the GDPR) in the context of contract fulfilment in regard to our customers or for sales purposes on the basis of your consent (article 6, paragraph 1, point (a), of the GDPR).
• Service providers or persons used to carry out our business operations (e.g. auditors, banks, payment service providers, shipping service providers, insurance companies, legal advisors, parties involved in company acquisitions or the establishment of joint ventures). The legal basis here is article 6, paragraph 1, point (f), of the GDPR.

Government agencies/authorities, insofar as this is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation. The legal basis for the disclosure is then article 6, paragraph 1, point (c), of the GDPR.

5.2. Conditions for the transfer of personal data to third countries

In the context of your website visit and our business relationships, your personal data may be transferred or disclosed to third party companies. These may also be located outside the European Economic Area (EEA), i.e. in third countries. Such processing will only take place on the basis of your consent or to fulfil our contractual and business obligations and to maintain your business relationship with us.  

The European Commission certifies data protection comparable to the EEA standard in some third countries by means of so-called adequacy decisions (a list of these countries and a copy of the adequacy decisions can be obtained here: http://ec.europa.eu/justice/data-protection/international-transfers/adequacy/index_en.html). However, in other third countries to which personal data may be transferred, there may not be a consistently high level of data protection due to a lack of legal provisions. Where this is the case, we ensure that data protection is sufficiently guaranteed. We generally use the standard contractual clauses of the European Commission and, if necessary, take further measures to protect your personal data.

5.3. Data security

We have taken extensive technical and operational precautions to protect your data from accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction, or access by unauthorized persons. Our security procedures are regularly reviewed and adapted in line with technological progress.

When you use our contact form, you also provide us with personal information about yourself. In order to prevent this data from falling into the wrong hands, we use end-to-end encryption for your personal data using the TLS method for data transmission (transport layer security). This is a proven, highly secure procedure for transmitting data over the Internet, provided that it is used – as is the case here – in line with state-of-the-art practice.

5.4. Storage of your data

Your personal data will always be stored as long as it is necessary for the respective purpose (e.g. fulfilment of contract), and shall then be erased in compliance with the statutory retention periods or, after the purpose has been achieved (e.g. fulfilment of the contract by both parties), restricted (blocked) for the necessary retention period in terms of processing, and then erased.

Your rights under Clause 15 are to be asserted in each instance against RRPS or against such other affiliated company as be responsible under data protection legislation. In any event, you may use the contact address given in Clause 1 above for this purpose.

5.5. Your rights

You have the right to request details of which personal data about you is stored.

You may request correction or amendment, erasure or restriction of processing (blocking) of your stored personal data as long as this is legally permissible and possible within the framework of an existing contractual relationship. Should statutory provisions not permit erasure, your data will instead be blocked (subjected to processing restrictions) in such a way as to make it accessible only for the purpose of complying with mandatory statutory provisions.
