If you refuse to provide personal data which are required for the performance of the contract or which we are obliged to process due to legal obligations, it may not be possible for us to carry out these services and/or, more specifically, the purposes listed above and/or it would significantly slow down the relevant purpose.

13. To whom we may disclose your personal Data

13.1 For the above mentioned purposes, we may share your personal data with the following recipients:

group companies, where necessary in order to perform our services (e.g. where you request certain services via our website); a list of group companies may be found here:

CONVOTIS Münster GmbH I CONVOTIS Lübeck GmbH I CONVOTIS Hamburg GmbH I CONVOTIS Stuttgart GmbH I METRO CLOUD Provider GmbH I CONVOTIS Köln GmbH I CONVOTIS Holding Austria GmbH I CONVOTIS Services GmbH I CONVOTIS Slovakia s.r.o. | CONVOTIS Munich GmbH | CONVOTIS atypisch GmbH | iXenso AG | CONVOTIS Schweiz AG | CONVOTIS Financial Solutions AG | swiss cloud computing ag | CONVOTIS (Luxembourg) PSF S.A. | CONVOTIS Italia Srl | Sapphir d.o.o. | Teralco Group

  • IT service providers who provide hosting, maintenance and security services for our website
  • advertising und web-analysis partners (e.g. Google LLC) who provide certain services to us in connection to our website
  • Where disclosure is required (i) by law or regulation or (ii) to establish, exercise or defend legal claims, we may also disclose personal data to a competent authority, such as supervisory, regulatory or criminal authorities, courts of law or other third parties who advise us in this context (e.g. lawyers or forensics experts).

13.2 Some of these recipients may be located in countries outside the EU/EEA for which an adequate level of data protection has not yet been established by the EU Commission. In particular, this includes our group companies. It should be noted that the level of data protection in such countries may not be the same as within the EU/EEA. Also, subject to local laws and regulations data may be accessible to local authorities or courts.

13.3 However, where personal data is transferred to such third countries, we implement appropriate safeguards to ensure that your rights are protected in accordance with the GDPR. This includes the conclusion of the EU Commission’s standard contractual clauses for the transfer of personal data (Art 46 (2) c GDPR) or, in the absence of such safeguards, your explicit consent according to Art 49 (1) a GDPR.

If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to these third countries and processed there. We would like to point out that no level of data protection comparable to that in the EU can be guaranteed in these countries. For example, US companies are obliged to hand over personal data to security authorities without you as the data subject being informed thereof or being able to take legal action against this. It can therefore not be ruled out that US authorities (e.g. intelligence services) process, evaluate and permanently store your data located on US servers for monitoring purposes without independent legal supervision. We have no influence on these processing activities.

14.1 Log files (see 4.5 above) are generally kept for a period of three months. Beyond this time period log files will only be stored for the purpose of investigating irregularities or security incidents in our system. For the storage duration of cookies see 3 above.

Where necessary we may also keep your data for as long as potential legal claims against us are not yet time-barred; for certain claims the statutory limitation period may be up to 30 years.

14.3 As soon as there are no legitimate grounds for the further storage of personal data available, they will either be deleted or anonymized.

15. Your rights as a data subject

15.1 As a data subject you have the following rights under the statutory conditions:

  • to check whether and what kind of personal data we hold about you and to request copies of such data (right of access)
