GENERAL PROCESSING PRINCIPLES
Our Company collects, stores and processes your personal data in a legal and transparent manner for specified, explicit, and legitimate purposes and does not subject it to further processing in a manner inconsistent with those purposes. The Company shall endeavor to ensure that the personal data it maintains and processes are always accurate and up-to-date but also appropriate and relevant and that the collection and processing is strictly limited to the data absolutely necessary for the purposes of processing. Furthermore, the data is retained in a form which permits the identification of data subjects only for the time required for the processing of personal data or for serving other legitimate purposes. Personal data shall be processed in such a way as to guarantee their appropriate security, including their protection against unauthorized or unlawful processing and accidental loss, destruction or deterioration, using appropriate technical or organizational measures, in particular encryption, coding, pseudonymization, personal data anonymization, information rating as well as controlling, monitoring and regular recording of all procedures on processing.
Where your consent is needed to process your personal data, the Company will provide you in a timely and transparent manner with the necessary information in order for you to be able to give your prior consent to the processing of your personal data for one or more specific processing purposes.
LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING
The Company processes personal data only if the legal requirements are met. We basically process personal data when processing is necessary to perform a contract whose data subject is a contractual party or to take action at the request of the data subject prior to the conclusion of a contract. The above legal basis is applicable to the processing of data of our customers, suppliers, associates and employees. Processing may be carried out by the Company when it is necessary to comply with a legal obligation or to serve its legitimate interests. Also, processing is lawful when it is necessary to safeguard the vital interest of the data subject or other natural person.
For the processing of data via a video surveillance system, a legitimate precondition constitutes the legitimate interest of the Company in the protection of persons and/or goods.
In the absence of any of the above preconditions of processing and no other legitimate requirement for the lawful processing, our Company processes your personal data based on your prior consent.

The Company provides the data subjects with the rights provided by the law and facilitates their exercise. At the same time, we provide the subjects with complete information about their rights. Specifically, the data subjects have the following rights:
