4. Categories of recipients
Within our company, those departments receive your data that need it to fulfil our contractual and legal obligations. Also processors used by us (Art. 28 GDPR) may receive data for these purposes. Other forwarding to third parties will only take place if this is necessary for the execution of the contract, if there is a justified interest or a legal or official obligation or if you have given your consent.
The following categories of recipients may receive your data:

5. Will my data be transferred to third countries outside the European Union?
A data transfer to third countries (countries outside the European Economic Area - EEA) does not occur.
If there are appropriate or suitable guarantees for the transfer, you can obtain a copy of them by contacting our data protection officer.
6. Storage Period
If necessary, we process and store your personal data for the duration of our business relationship, which includes, for example, the initiation and execution of a contract. It should be noted that our business relationship is a continuing obligation which is designed for years.
In addition, we are subject to various legal storage and documentation obligations (e.g. from the German Commercial Code (HGB), the German Tax Code (AO), the German Banking Act (KWG) and the Money Laundering Act (GwG)). The periods for storage or documentation are usually up to ten years. In addition, we may have a legitimate interest in storage, such as the limitation periods under the German Civil Code (BGB), which can be up to thirty years.
If your data is no longer required for the purposes mentioned or if its storage is inadmissible for other legal reasons, we will delete it.
If we have processed data on the basis of your consent, we will delete this data after revoking your consent and insofar as no other storage obligations exist.
7. Is there an obligation to provide personal data?
In order to maintain a business relationship with us, only the data necessary for its implementation or to the collection of which we are legally obliged are required. As a rule, it is not possible for us to process a contract without this data.
8. Does profiling or automated decision making take place?
We partly process your data automatically with the aim of evaluating certain personal aspects (profiling) in order to optimise and personalise our marketing measures. Our offers are thus optimally adapted to your needs.
