- a valid e-mail address,

The data processing is carried out in response to your request and is necessary according to Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. b GDPR for the aforementioned purposes for the appropriate processing of the contract and for the mutual fulfillment of obligations arising from the contract.
The personal data collected by us for the processing of the contract will be stored until the expiry of the statutory limitation period (3 years after the end of the calendar year in which the contract was terminated, sec. 195 German Civil Code (“Bürgerliches Gesetzbuch, “BGB”)) and thereafter deleted, unless we are required pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 S. 1 lit. c GDPR to store data for a longer period due to tax and commercial law retention and documentation obligations (from German Tax and Commercial Law obligations) or you have consented to storage beyond this period in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 S. 1 lit. a GDPR.

In addition, there may be intra-group data transfers due to commissioned processing in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. In the event of data transfer abroad, this will take place within the EU or the European Economic Area or in a country that has an adequate level of data protection according to the decision of the EU Commission. In the case of data transfers to imc group companies based in other countries, imc guarantees that the imc group companies importing the data are obliged to comply with an appropriate level of data protection. This applies in particular to data transfers to the USA, which are carried out on the basis of current standard contractual clauses and additional security measures.

Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.
