1. Type, scope and purpose of the collection, processing and use of personal data
You can visit our website and inform yourself without having to provide personal information. No personal data that could lead to your identification is collected during your visit to our website – in principle, you remain anonymous. The data that is transferred from your internet browser or end device when you load a new page – such as the date, the length of your visit, your truncated IP address or the name of your internet service provider –  is used by us without any personal reference.

We collect personal data that you willingly provide when visiting our website, for example when you fill in a request to move. Which personal data we collect and process is described below: Processing of personal data in the use of services on the website/ pre-contractual relationship

The services available on our website include our relocation services. In using this service, we ask you to provide the addresses to and from which you are relocating and the date of the move. We also ask for your name, your telephone number and your email address. We use the data provided by you in the context of creating an offer and/or initiating a contract. We send an offer for your enquiry to the phone number and/or email address provided by you. If you decide to take up the offer, we will use the data provided on the type and content of the relocation for the processing of your booking/order.

If you decide not to take up the offer, your personal data will be retained for a maximum of six months and then deleted. We retain your data for longer than this only if you have expressly consented. The basis for the use of your data is the fulfilment of pre-contractual measures in accordance with Art. 6 paragraph 1(b) GDPR.

Processing of personal data in the case of booking/ordering relocation services
When you book/order relocation services from us, we require your name, the addresses to and from which you are relocating, your email address, and your telephone number.

We require this data in order to provide the service for which you have made a booking/placed an order, as well as to contact you in accordance with Art. 6 paragraph 1(b) GDPR. We send confirmation of your booking/order to the phone number and/or email address provided by you. After successful payment, we retain your personal data for the purposes of fulfilling our statutory obligations, e.g. accounting duties and those duties that we have towards you as the customer.
If you have decided to accept our offer and have relocated with us, we save your personal data after completion only in accordance with trade and tax provisions, unless you have provided your express consent for retention of the data beyond completion of the relocation services. In addition, we process your personal data in order to be able to meet our obligations in the event of a complaint. We base our retention periods on the statutory limitation periods. Thereafter, we delete your personal data.

We may engage subcontractors for the execution of your booking/order. We require evidence from them regarding their approval and qualification to conduct their business, such as a business licence, transport licence, licences pursuant to road haulage legislation (GüKG), liability insurance. We retain these documents for the duration of the collaboration, beyond this only in accordance with the statutory retention obligations.If we engage service providers for the execution of your booking/order (e.g. subcontractors), these service providers will receive from us only the data that they require to execute the order. In such cases, the service provider is liable for his own protection of your personal data in accordance with his own data privacy policy.

For the retention periods of your data, we are guided by the tax and commercial-law provisions. After expiry of these retention periods, we delete your data.
