    Consequences of failure to provide data

    You are not legally required to disclose your personal information. If you choose not to disclose this data, however, it will not be possible to fulfill the purpose of processing.

    Storage period

    Due to the long service life of our solutions and services, the date on which the business relationship ends cannot be equated with the delivery of the solution or service. In the course of our project and system business, there may be a significant time period between individual contacts with you due to the complexity and duration of the initiation of the business relationship (due to approval processes), so we have to assume that our active business relationships will typically last for several years.

    Your personal data will therefore be retained for up to 5 years after the last contact because this is the expected duration of the business relationship. If we have other statutory obligations to store the data, the period of retention may be longer than this.

    Source of the data

    We only process data that you have made available to us directly or which we have collected in the course of our business relationship with you.
