DVS TECHNOLOGY GROUP c/o DVS TECHNOLOGY AG processes and stores personal data of business partners (e.g., prospects, customers, suppliers) in the course of its business activities. In doing so, we also store your contact details, which you have provided to us, in our systems to enable further contact with you. Below you will find information about the individual purposes of processing.

3.1. Processing of personal data of potential customers

If you are interested in our services or products and contact us in writing or by telephone, we process your personal data in order to respond to your inquiry and, if desired, to send you informational material. In preparation for establishing a business relationship, we also create a customer record for you in our system DVS Connect. DVS Connect enables us to specifically track the business processes related to you.

The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR.

We conduct customer satisfaction surveys with our existing customers, invite you to events and trade fairs, send you customer magazines, and record the progress of the customer relationship in our CRM system. In order to establish a direct connection to the goods and services we provide, we list your employer and therefore also you as an existing customer in our DVS Connect system. We have a legitimate interest in continuously improving and strengthening our customer relationship by, among other things, specifically tracking the business processes related to you.

The legal basis is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

We list you as an existing customer insofar as you have concluded a contract with us. Your contact details are processed in order to electronically send you information (e.g., in the form of a newsletter) about new products.

You can object to the processing of your personal data for this purpose at any time. Simply send your objection to the contact options mentioned in Section 1.

The legal basis is our legitimate interest pursuant to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.
