Your data are processed for the distribution and sale of our goods and services, for procurement and logistics purposes and for customer and supplier administration and analysis. The data are processed in particular in the case of initial business contacts and for the performance of contracts with you, for example in the following cases:

  • setting up and administering a customer or supplier account

The legal bases for these transfers are Article 6 (1) (b) and Article 6 (1) (f) General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Data may be transferred on the basis of Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR only if this is necessary to safeguard the legitimate interests of BayWa AG or third parties and this does not override the interests or basic rights and freedoms of the data subject, who requires his or her personal data to be protected. The exchange of data with SCHUFA also serves to comply with legal duties to implement credit-worthiness checks on customers (§§ 505 (a) and 506 German Civil Code). SCHUFA processes the data received and uses it for the purpose of creating a profile (scoring), in order to provide to its contractual partners in the European Economic Area and in Switzerland and in other third countries (insofar as an adequacy decision from the European Commission exists on this country) information inter alia for the assessment of the credit-worthiness of natural persons.

The purpose of this is to facilitate work flow management and to identify financial credit risks. The data in the credit rating database are accessed only insofar as there exists a legitimate interest for the respective group member company.

 

6. Who receives my data?

If we use a service provider within the meaning of commissioned data processing, we nonetheless remain responsible for the protection of your data. All our processors are bound by contract to treat your data in confidence and to process them only in the context of the service to be provided. The processors commissioned by us receive your data, if the latter need the data to perform their respective service. These processors are, for example, IT service providers, whom we need for the operation and security of our IT system, as well as advertising and directory publishers for our own advertising campaigns.

Your data are processed in a customer database, to which both the companies listed above and the companies affiliated to the BayWa Group have access. This customer database improves the data quality of existing customer data (cleaning-up of doublets, identification of customers who have moved or are deceased, corrections of address) and enables us to enrich the data from public sources. The data are made available to the BayWa Group member companies, which participate in the customer database (participating companies) and may be used or personalised direct marketing campaigns (e.g. newsletters), for targeted online marketing and personalised online shop design.

These customer databases are intended to provide participating companies, which serve the same customers, with information on these customers extending over the entire organisation. The object of this procedure is always to provide the customer with the most up-to-date and relevant information. This processing of customer interests represents profiling within the meaning of Article 4 GDPR; we do not practise automated individual decision-making. Customer data are stored separately and in relation to each company whereby BayWa AG functions as the service provider for the individual participating companies.

A summary of the BayWa AG Group member companies is available on the following link:  https://www.baywa.com/konzern/im_profil/konzerngesellschaften/

If a bid is submitted or a sale processed through manufacturer portals, data provided by you are processed directly in the manufacturer's portal.

Where a legal obligation exists and in the event of prosecution, government agencies and the Courts, as well as external auditors may be the recipients of your data.

Moreover, your data may also be transferred to insurance companies, banks, credit agencies and service providers for the purpose of negotiating and performing a contract

 

7. For how long are my data stored?

We process your data until the termination of the business relationship or until the expiry of the applicable guarantee, warranty, statute of limitations and legal retention periods (for example as provided in the German Commercial Code or Tax Code); moreover, we retain data until the termination of any legal disputes, in which the data are needed as evidence.

As a rule in the case of video surveillance the image data are erased after 7 days.
