3. The data are processed for the purpose of performing the contract with you or the company for whom you work or for implementing pre-contractual measures; the lawful basis is provided by Art. 6 para. 1 b) GDPR and Art. 13 para. 2 a) FADP. The additional lawful basis for credit reports is provided by Art. 6 para. 1 f) GDPR and Art. 13 para. 1 FADP. Our legitimate interest lies in our need to obtain information about the creditworthiness and ability to make payments of individual business partners in order to minimise our risks and manage our receivables. To do this, we need to make use of renowned information agencies and registers; this interest is not overridden by the interests of the data subject. Should you or the company for whom you work have no pre-contractual or contractual relationship with the Bell Food Group, the data are processed for the purpose of establishing and maintaining communication with you and processing your request. In this case, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 f) GDPR and Art. 13 para. 1 FADP. The Bell Food Group's legitimate interest lies in the fact that we take your request seriously and wish to process it. As you have a request and are in contact with us, communication is also in your interests and you do not have any overriding conflicting interests.
In this context, we also use your data to cultivate social contacts, and in particular to inform you about or invite you to events, congratulate you on your birthday or send you festive season and celebratory greetings. The lawful basis for this is provided by Art. 6 para. 1 f) GDPR and Art. 13 para. 1 FADP. The Bell Food Group's legitimate interest lies in the fact that social contact is important to us and we take pains to ensure that you wish to engage in such social contact. If you should inform us that you do not wish to engage in social contact, we will naturally stop using your data for this purpose.
We also process the data, for example, to send you information by post about our products, offers, services and new products as well as those of other companies belonging to the Bell Food Group if you or the company for whom you work has acquired or considered acquiring products or services from a member of the Bell Food Group. The lawful basis for this is provided by Art. 6 para. 1 f) GDPR and Art. 13 para. 1 FADP. It is our legitimate (corporate) interest to remain in contact with potential and future business partners in order to potentially discuss a contractual relationship concerning the purchase and sale of goods and services offered by the Bell Food Group in future. This is not overridden by your interests as contact with you in this case was established in the context of your work and it is also in your interests to build up a network that may be used in future to generate contracts.
Finally, the Bell Food Group processes the data for the purpose of asserting its rights in or out of court or to defend itself against third-party claims in or out of court. The lawful basis for this is provided by Art. 6 para. 1 b) and Art. 6 para. 1 f) GDPR and Art. 13 para. 1 FADP. Our legitimate interest lies in our need to defend our legal position and to provide proof to uphold our legal position. You do not have any overriding interest in protecting your rights and freedoms.
4. Third parties have access to the data. The recipients of the data are
a. Companies of the Bell Food Group,
b. Processors appointed by us (e.g. marketing and hosting agencies, IT companies)
c. Other third parties that qualify as independent controllers under the GDPR (e.g. banks, postal service providers, tax consultants, auditors, lawyers)
d. Government offices and courts to the extent that we are obliged to disclose data to them or need to do so in order to protect our rights and defend ourselves against claims.

6. The duration for which the Bell Food Group will process data is determined in each case by the Bell Food Group's deletion policy, taking account of the purpose of the processing as well as the provisions of national law (in particular limitation periods and statutory archiving periods). We will be happy to provide you with more details about specific types of data. Please address your query to the person with whom you are in contact.
7. You have the following rights with regard to the processing of the data: under the circumstances prescribed by law, you have the right to request information about your personal data that are processed by us as well as the right to request us to correct, delete or limit the processing of your data. You also have the right to object to the processing of your data as well as the right to data portability. If you have at any time given or will in future give your consent to the processing of your data, you have the right to revoke this consent.
You may appeal to a supervisory authority at any time if you believe that we are processing personal data in contravention of the applicable data protection legislation.
8. In some cases, the processing of specific data may be stipulated by law, e.g. the identification of persons in relation to anti-money laundering provisions, compliance with boycotts and sanctions and the documentation of business relationships and their notification to government offices (e.g. financial authorities and customs services).
9. The Bell Food Group does not apply any automated decision processes or profiling.
10. We sometimes receive the data from third parties, most often in the context of our cooperation with all members of the Bell Food Group. If you are already in contact with another company of the Bell Food Group, it is possible that this company has captured your data in a central database and that other members of the Bell Food Group are also using this data.
If you in your capacity as a natural person are our direct customer or supplier, it may be that we obtain credit, debt collection, insolvency or other information about your legal or financial situation from a third party.
If you are employed by a company, it may be that we have received your contact data from one of your colleagues who identified you as a suitable person to contact regarding a matter requiring clarification.
