We take the protection of personal data very seriously. Therefore we strictly adhere to the rules of the data protection laws of the Federal Republic of Germany (BDSG) and the European data protection basic regulation (DSGVO). Insofar as reference is made to the DSGVO in this data protection declaration, it is made clear that it will not apply until 25 May 2018. Previously, the legal basis was the BDSG.

Data processing for the provision of contractual services
You can use our website and the contact data we have stored on it to send us enquiries regarding the commissioning of contractual services and vehicles offered by us. Insofar as personal data is transmitted to us by you in this way or by other means in response to corresponding enquiries, we process your data for the purpose of answering your enquiries, executing the order/contract and issuing invoices. We need your name, address data and e-mail address for this purpose. Without these data we cannot carry out the contract with you. If you also provide us with your telephone number, we will use it to clarify any queries relating to the contract. Depending on the order/contract, we may require additional data, and we will clarify this for you on a case-by-case basis.
In the case of suppliers/service providers, we process the personal data made available by them in this way or in another way in order to order and retrieve services from our side and to pay for the services rendered. We require the name, address data and account data for this purpose. Depending on the service or contract, we may need additional data, which we then clarify on a case-by-case basis.
The basis for data processing is Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. b DSGVO, which permits the processing of data for the fulfilment of a contract or pre-contractual measures.
Data processing for communication with you
In addition to the contract data, we process the communication data provided by you (address, telephone number, e-mail address) in order to contact and communicate with you. Personal data that you provide to us by e-mail, via the contact form on our website or by telephone will only be used for correspondence with you or only for the purpose for which you provided the data to us.
For example, you can select vehicles and use the associated contact form to send us enquiries in this regard. You can also use the contact form to send us further enquiries. We need at least your name and e-mail address to answer your enquiries. If you provide us with your address data, we will use it to send you the requested information by post on request. In addition, we have a free callback service on our website. For this we need at least your name and your telephone number. If you enter further data in the respective contact forms, these are not required for the aforementioned purposes. However, we may use this data in the course of further contract negotiations.

Data processing for credit checks
n order to prevent payment defaults, it may happen that we use your name and address data for a credit check if the insecure payment method of invoice purchase or payment by direct debit is to be agreed for contracts or if we make advance payments or credit transactions. For this purpose, we use an external credit agency as an order processor. The processing of your data within the scope of the credit assessment takes place on the legal basis of Art 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. b DSGVO or the legal basis of Art 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. f DSGVO. We have a legitimate interest in protecting ourselves as best as possible against the occurrence of payment defaults and in obtaining creditworthiness information from an external credit agency for this purpose, as we make considerable advance payments, for example, in rental agreements for items of high value and in credit transactions.
Newsletter
If you wish to subscribe to our newsletter, we require an e-mail address from you as well as information that allows us to verify that you are the owner of the e-mail address provided and that you agree to receive the newsletter. For this purpose, we will send a confirmation e-mail with a link in it (double opt-in) to the registered e-mail address. Only after clicking on this link will the registration be completed. The purpose of the procedure is to prove your registration and, if necessary, to clarify any possible misuse of your personal data. We do not collect any further data in this context. We use these data exclusively for the dispatch of the requested newsletter. If we use an order processor to send the newsletter, we will of course comply with the applicable data protection laws.

In addition, we retain your data for the period in which claims can be asserted against our group of companies (statutory limitation period of three or up to thirty years).

Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technical developments. However, we expressly point out that data transmission on the Internet has security gaps and cannot be completely protected against access by third parties, which applies in particular and above all to communication by e-mail.
