Google Analytics is further explained under the following Link https://www.google.com/analytics/.

Legal basis for the processing

Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR is the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data has to bee seen as necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party,(e.g. when processing operations necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service) the processing is based on Article 6 (1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations which are necessary for pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries concerning our products or services. Is our company subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR. Also, processing operations could be based on Article 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, such as to carry out our business in favor of the well-being of all our employees and the shareholders, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).

Period of time for which the personal data will be stored

The criteria used to determine the period of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiration of that period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, as long as it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of a contract.

Provision of personal data (as statutory or contractual necessary)

Theprovision of personal data is partly required by law, such astax regulations. It can also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). When IK3 SARL signs a contract with him or her, the data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with personal data Otherwise the contract with him or her could not be concluded. Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact an employee, who clarifies to him or her if the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, if there is an obligation to provide the personal data and the consequences of non-provision of the personal data.
