To process and fulfill your contract (custom manufacturing, measurement, and installation), we process and transmit project-relevant data to external partner companies (for on-site measurement) and independent installation teams.
Data transfer to production partners in China: To manufacture our custom-made products, we transmit technical production data (measurements, floor plans, technical drawings, material specifications) to our production partner in China. This data generally does not contain direct customer data (no names, addresses, emails). The allocation is made via internal project numbers (pseudonymization). If, under data protection law, a transfer to a third country still occurs, we ensure an adequate level of data protection through EU Standard Contractual Clauses (SCCs) in accordance with Art. 46 Para. 2 lit. c GDPR.
The legal basis for these transfers is Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR (contract fulfillment).
6) Payment Processing (Stripe & Bank)
We process payments via credit card, SEPA transfer, or integrated payment service providers such as Stripe (Stripe Payments Europe, Ltd., Ireland).

We only store personal data for as long as necessary to fulfill our contractual obligations or as required by statutory retention periods (e.g., 10 years according to HGB/AO for invoicing and accounting documents). Afterwards, the data is routinely deleted. In the case of consent, we delete the data upon your revocation.
