<p>We may ask you when you contact us by telephone whether the telephone call may be recorded for quality assurance and training measures. If you agree to the recording, we will process all information that you share with us during the call (communication content, possibly also sensitive (health) data, as well as your phone number and other personal data).</p>
<p>When processing data arising in the course of communication, we have a legitimate interest in processing the data in accordance with legal requirements, for internal verification or in accordance with the respective communication request.</p>
<p>The provision of your personal data is required for the performance of the contract or a situation similar to a contract. You are not obliged to provide your personal data. If your personal data is not provided, you cannot use the described service.</p>
<p>Business partner only: <br/>With regard to the cooperation with our suppliers, we have implemented an internal evaluation process which, in our legitimate interest, is intended to improve the business relationship by developing an &quot;action plan&quot;. As a rule, we only process information about the company, but conclusions can be drawn about you as the contact person, if the communication with suppliers is examined with regard to response times, reliability and transparency.</p>
<p>Specific processing purposes are listed in the “Recipients and sources” section below based on the third parties used in the process.</p>
<p><u>Recipients and sources:</u><br/>&nbsp;We transfer the data to the following recipients:</p>

<p>Business partner only: <br/>In order to combat terrorism, we are obliged by law to carry out a comparison with sanctions lists. Therefore, we also process your data to meet legal requirements for comparison with these lists. Furthermore, we process your data in the Beiersdorf Group for the prevention and investigation of criminal offences and other misconduct, the assessment and control of risks, for internal communication and for corresponding administrative purposes. If an affiliated company reports a need to work with you as a supplier, we will share our experiences from working with you with the affiliated company.</p>
<p>We will compare your data against published lists of misleading suppliers (e.g. warning lists of World Intellectual Property Organization and Bundesanzeiger Verlag GmbH) to make an informed decision about potential payments. We also regularly check your creditworthiness in certain cases (e.g. when concluding contracts). Our legitimate interest is the minimization of the financial risk. We cooperate with credit agencies (e.g. Dun &amp; Bradstreet Deutschland GmbH (“D&amp;B”), Germany) from which we receive the necessary data. <span>For this purpose, we transmit your name and contact details or the D&amp;B D-U-N-S® number assigned to your company to the credit agencies. In our legitimate interest in faster data entry, D&amp;B provides us with addresses of our business partners. EcoVadis SAS, France provides us with a sustainability risk assessment to meet legal requirements and in our legitimate interest. Depending on the result, a longer sustainability assessment may result.</span></p>
<p>In addition, as part of our anti-corruption review, we check the ranking of the country of domicile in the Corruption Perceptions Index of Transparency International e.V., Alt-Moabit 96, 10559 Berlin, Germany. Depending on the result, there may be a longer anti-corruption check, in which we may process your data in order to check whether a cooperation could be associated with corruption risks for us in our legitimate interest in minimizing risk.</p>
<p>It may be necessary to transfer your personal data to prospective buyers as part of a company transaction. In the course of due diligence, usually anonymised data is processed. However, it may be necessary in specific individual cases to process personal data. Our legitimate interest lies in the execution of the company transaction.</p>
<p><u>Deletion /Objection:</u><br/>We delete the data arising in this context once storage is no longer necessary, unless statutory retention obligations exist or periods of limitation must be observed.</p>
<p>In case of consumer inquiries through our internal consumer management tool the personal data will be usually deleted after one year, if no other legal retention periods apply. As an exception, the data will be kept longer if the data is necessary for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.</p>
<p>Call recordings are stored for a maximum of 90 days.</p>
<p>You can object to these processes according to the requirements under <a href="#section4">4</a>.</p>
<p><u>Legal basis:</u><br/>Art. 6 (1) a GDPR in conjunction with Art. 9 (2) a GDPR (consent: telephone recording)</p>
<p>Art. 6 (1) b GDPR in conjunction with Art. 9 (2) f GDPR (when processing in the context of a contract or a situation similar to a contract)</p>
<p>Art. 6 (1) c GDPR (when processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation)</p>
<p>Art. 6 (1) f GDPR in conjunction with Art. 9 (2) f GDPR (when processing according to the legitimate interest described above)</p>

<h2>4. Objection or Withdrawal of your consent to the Processing of Personal Data</h2>
<p>If you have given your consent (Art. 6 (1) a GDPR) to the processing of your data, you can withdraw your consent at any time. Such a withdrawal influences the permissibility of processing your personal data after you have given it to us.</p>
<p><strong>If we base the processing of your personal data on the weighing of interests (Art. 6 (1) f GDPR), you may object to the processing. This is the case if processing is not necessary in particular to fulfil a contract with you, which is described by us in the description of the functions / services. When exercising such objection, we ask you to explain the reasons why we should not process your personal data as we have done. In the event of your justified objection, we will examine the situation and either stop or adjust data processing or point out to you our compelling reasons worthy of protection, on the basis of which we will continue processing. </strong></p>
<p><strong>Of course, you can object to the processing of your personal data for purposes of advertising and data analysis at any time. You can inform us about your objection under the above-mentioned contact details for the controller.</strong></p>
