For contract initiation, contract fulfilment and termination of contractual relationships (Art. 6 para. 1 b GDPR):

Planning, execution and administration of the (contractual) business relationship between project urban 2|3 and the business partner, e.g. to process the ordering of products and services, to collect payments, for accounting, invoicing / billing and debt collection purposes and to carry out deliveries, maintenance activities or repairs;

Due to legal regulations (Art. 6 para. 1 c GDPR):

Compliance with
o legal requirements (e.g. retention obligations under tax and commercial law),
o existing obligations to carry out compliance screenings (to prevent white-collar crime or money laundering) and
o project urban 2|3 guidelines and industry standards; and

Settlement of legal disputes, enforcement of existing contracts and for the assertion, exercise and defence of legal claims;

On the basis of a legitimate interest (Art. 6 para. 1 f GDPR):

Maintaining and protecting the security of our products and services and our websites, preventing and detecting security risks, fraudulent behaviour or other criminal or malicious acts.

For the aforementioned purposes, project urban 2|3 may process the following categories of personal data:

Payment data, such as information required to process payment transactions or prevent fraud, including credit card information and card verification numbers;

Information collected from publicly available sources, information databases or credit reference agencies; and

Where required as part of compliance screenings: information on relevant legal proceedings and other legal disputes involving business partners.

If the aforementioned personal data is not provided or if project urban 2|3 is unable to collect it, it may not be possible to fulfil the individual purposes described.

2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data
The processing of personal data is necessary to fulfil the purposes stated in section III. 1, including the implementation of the (contractual) business relationship with the business partner. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b) and lit. f) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (hereinafter “GDPR”) or, if consent has been expressly granted, Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a) GDPR.

3. Data deletion and storage period
If no explicit storage period is specified at the time of collection (e.g. as part of a declaration of consent), your personal data will be deleted if it is no longer required to fulfil the purpose of storage, unless its temporary further processing is necessary, in particular for the following purposes:

Fulfilment of retention periods under commercial and tax law, e.g. according to the German Commercial Code or Fiscal Code. The periods specified there are 2 to 10 years.

Preservation of evidence within the framework of the statute of limitations (e.g. §§ 195ff. BGB).

4. Recipients of the data
Within our company, those departments that require your data to fulfil our contractual and legal obligations or the above-mentioned purposes will have access to it. Service providers and vicarious agents employed by us may also receive data for this purpose.

project urban 2|3 may transfer personal data to courts, supervisory authorities or law firms if there is a legal obligation to do so in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. c) GDPR or if it is necessary for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f) GDPR and there is no reason to assume that our business partners have an overriding interest worthy of protection in not disclosing the data.
project urban 2|3 works together with service providers (so-called processors), such as service providers for IT maintenance services. These service providers only act on the instructions of project urban 2|3 and are contractually obliged to comply with the applicable data protection requirements. To this end, we conclude corresponding written order processing contracts with these service providers.

5. Data transfer to third countries
project urban 2|3 may transfer personal data to other group companies (EDAG Group) for the above-mentioned purposes, but only if and insofar as this is necessary to fulfil the above-mentioned purposes.

If we transfer personal data to service providers or group companies outside the European Economic Area (EEA), the transfer will only take place if the third country has been confirmed by the EU Commission to have an adequate level of data protection or if other appropriate data protection guarantees (e.g. binding internal data protection regulations or EU standard contractual clauses) are in place.

6. Revocability of given declarations of consent
If our contact person has given consent to process their personal data, the contact person has the right to revoke the consent given at any time with effect for the future, i.e. the revocation does not affect the legality of the processing carried out before the revocation on the basis of the consent. After revocation, project urban 2|3 may only continue to process the personal data to the extent that project urban 2|3 can base the processing on another legal basis.

7. Right to revoke the declaration of consent under data protection law
You have the right to revoke your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The withdrawal of consent does not affect
the lawfulness of processing based on consent before its withdrawal.
