5.1. WhatsApp Business
You have the option of contacting us via the WhatsApp messaging service provided by WhatsApp Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland. We use the so-called "Business version" of WhatsApp for this purpose.

If you contact us via WhatsApp regarding a specific transaction (for example, an order you have placed), we will store and use the mobile phone number you use with WhatsApp, as well as your first and last name (if provided), in accordance with Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR, to process and respond to your inquiry. Based on the same legal basis, we may ask you via WhatsApp to provide further data (order number, customer number, address, or email address) in order to assign your inquiry to a specific transaction.

If you use our WhatsApp contact for general inquiries (e.g., regarding our range of services, availability, or our website), we store and use the mobile phone number you use on WhatsApp and – if provided – your first and last name in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR on the basis of our legitimate interest in the efficient and timely provision of the requested information.

Your data will only be used to answer your inquiry via WhatsApp. It will not be shared with third parties.

Please note that WhatsApp Business accesses the address book of the mobile device we use for this purpose and automatically transfers phone numbers stored in the address book to a server of its parent company, Meta Platforms Inc., in the USA. For the operation of our WhatsApp Business account, we use a mobile device whose address book contains only the WhatsApp contact data of users who have actually contacted us via WhatsApp.

This ensures that every person whose WhatsApp contact details are stored in our address book has already consented to the transfer of their WhatsApp phone number from the address books of their chat contacts, in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) GDPR, by accepting the WhatsApp Terms of Service upon first using the app on their device. The transfer of data from users who do not use WhatsApp and/or have not contacted us via WhatsApp is therefore excluded.

For information on the purpose and scope of data collection and the further processing and use of data by WhatsApp, as well as your related rights and privacy settings, please refer to WhatsApp's privacy policy: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/?eea=1#privacy-policy

We have concluded a data processing agreement with the provider, which protects the data of our website visitors and prohibits its transfer to third parties.

The processing described above may involve data transfers to servers of Meta Platforms Inc. in the USA.

For data transfers to the USA, the provider has joined the EU-US Data Privacy Framework, which, based on an adequacy decision by the European Commission, ensures compliance with the European level of data protection.

5.2 When you contact us (e.g. via contact form or email), personal data will be processed – exclusively for the purpose of processing and responding to your request and only to the extent necessary.

The legal basis for processing this data is our legitimate interest in responding to your inquiry pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. If your contact is aimed at a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. Your data will be deleted when it is clear from the circumstances that the matter has been resolved and provided that no statutory retention obligations apply.

In accordance with Article 6(1)(b) GDPR, personal data will continue to be collected and processed to the extent necessary if you provide it to us when opening a customer account. You can find out which data is required for account opening in the input fields of the corresponding form on our website.
