The use of the website of Dr. Kramer Consulting & Trading GmbH is generally possible without providing personal data. If a data subject wishes to use specific services of our company via our website, processing of personal data may become necessary.

The processing of personal data, for example name, address, email address or telephone number, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in compliance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to Dr. Kramer Consulting & Trading GmbH.

As the controller, Dr. Kramer Consulting & Trading GmbH has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible for personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, internet-based data transmissions may generally have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed.

This enables visited websites and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other internet browsers that contain other cookies.
The data subject may prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the internet browser used and may thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies already set can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common internet browsers.

9. Legal Basis for Processing
Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR serves our company as legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, processing is based on Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. If our company is subject to a legal obligation requiring processing of personal data, processing is based on Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Finally, processing operations may be based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR if processing is necessary for the purposes of legitimate interests pursued by our company or a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject.
10. Legitimate Interests Pursued by the Controller or a Third Party
Where processing is based on Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business activities in favor of the well-being of all our employees and shareholders.
11. Period for Which Personal Data is Stored
The criterion for the storage period of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of that period, the relevant data is routinely deleted, provided it is no longer required for contract fulfillment or contract initiation.
12. Statutory or Contractual Requirements to Provide Personal Data
We inform you that providing personal data may be partly required by law or may result from contractual provisions. In some cases, it may be necessary for a contract conclusion that a data subject provides us with personal data, which then must be processed by us. Failure to provide such personal data would mean that the contract could not be concluded.
