General information on data processing

1. SCOPE OF THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA
We collect and use the personal data of our customers and interested parties only to the extent necessary to process our contracts. After fulfillment of the contractual obligations, we process data only after consent has been given. An exception applies in cases where it is not possible to obtain prior consent for factual reasons or where the processing of the data is permitted by law.

Data from customers, interested parties and suppliers are processed. This includes the following categories of personal data:

Master data (gender, surname, first name address, telephone numbers, e-mail addresses, bank details) as well as contract data, consisting of customer and offer/order number, addresses of loading and unloading addresses, billing data, date of order receipt as well as service dates.

In addition, details of the local conditions of the loading and unloading addresses are noted, which may also include photos of the local conditions or photos of goods to be specially packed. This includes information on floors, carrying routes and parking facilities. Furthermore, details and specific information on the type and scope of the transported goods are processed and stored.

If a third party assumes the costs for the services and orders commissioned from us, the details of the name, address, contact details and bank details of this party are also processed and stored.

When transporting goods abroad, additional data and documents are stored and processed which are required for customs clearance and customs procedures, among other things, and which must be transmitted to customs and other authorities. This preferably includes information on Date of transfer of residence, duration of stay abroad of the person moving and their family members, details of vehicles - if these are part of the transported goods. This applies equally to other documents that must be submitted at the request of the authorities for the execution of the contract and also applies to the various and specific documents that are required for submission abroad. The applications vary depending on the country of destination, type of goods and intended use.

The processing also takes place for the preparation of a pre-contractual offer to answer your request for quotation. When providing the service, the need to transfer and process personal data is mandatory and for a specific purpose. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures.

b) As part of the balancing of interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 f GDPR

In addition to processing your data for the purpose of fulfilling the contract, we also process your data on the basis of our legitimate interest or the legitimate interest of a third party, provided that your interests worthy of protection do not outweigh this. This includes the following processing purposes:

d) Processing of your data on the basis of your consent in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. A

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data for specific purposes, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis. The purposes of the data processing result from the respective consent.

Any consent given can be revoked at any time, without giving reasons, with effect for the future.

Data is passed on on the basis of legal obligations in the event of overriding legal provisions.

Please note that the transfer of your data to a third country is associated with additional risks. Data is transferred exclusively for contractual purposes. Article 49(1)(b) GDPR serves as the legal basis.
