2. Legal Basis for Data Processing

The processing of personal data requires a legal basis, which we outline as follows:

  • If we obtain consent from the data subject for the processing of personal data, Article 6(1)(a) of the EU GDPR serves as the legal basis.
  • If data processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Article 6(1)(b) GDPR applies. This also includes processing required for pre-contractual measures.
  • If processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation, Article 6(1)(c) GDPR applies.
  • If processing is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of our company or a third party, and these interests are not overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR applies. Our legitimate interest lies in the operation of our business as well as the analysis, optimization, and security of our online services.


I. Contact Form

If you contact us via a contact form, the data you provide will be stored by us for the purpose of processing your inquiry and for possible follow-up questions. This data will not be shared with third parties.
If your inquiry is related to a contract or necessary for pre-contractual measures, processing is based on Article 6(1)(b) GDPR. In all other cases, processing is based on your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR). You may revoke your consent at any time by emailing us at: datenschutz@bruening-suntree.de.
Your data will be stored until you request its deletion, revoke your consent, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., once your inquiry has been resolved). Legal retention obligations remain unaffected.

II. Log-Files

For security and statistical reasons, data transmitted by your browser is automatically stored in server log files, as part of our legitimate interest in maintaining and optimizing our website. This includes:

  • Language and version of browser software
  • Operating system and its interface
  • Referrer URL (previous page visited)
  • Hostname of accessing device (IP address)
  • Date and time of server request
  • Time zone difference to GMT
  • Requested content (specific page)
  • Amount of data transferred
  • Access status/HTTP status code

These data are not usually associated with specific individuals. We do not combine this data with other data sources. After statistical evaluation, the data is deleted within 7 days. Data that must be retained for legal evidence will be exempt from deletion until the matter is resolved.

III. Contractual Data Processing

Personal data such as name, address, or e-mail address provided by you will only be used internally for responding to inquiries, processing orders, or providing access to certain information.

IV. Cookies

This website does not use cookies.

V. Data Subject Rights

You have the right to access personal data stored about you. You also have the right to correct incorrect data, block, transfer, or delete your personal data in accordance with legal provisions. Please send an email with the subject “Data Protection” to us for such requests.

You also have the right to lodge a complaint with a data protection supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of your personal data violates legal requirements.

If you have given consent for the processing of your data, you may revoke it at any time. The lawfulness of processing based on consent before its revocation remains unaffected. You may also object to the future processing of your data in accordance with legal requirements — especially to processing for direct marketing purposes.

VI. Retention Period of Personal Data

We store personal data for the duration of applicable legal retention periods. Once these periods expire, the data is routinely deleted, unless further retention is required for contract initiation or fulfillment.

If the data is not deleted because it is still needed for other legally permitted purposes, its processing will be restricted. In such cases, the data will be blocked and not processed for any other purpose. This applies, for example, to data that must be retained for commercial or tax reasons.

VII. Security Information

We are committed to protecting your personal data by taking all technical and organizational measures necessary to comply with data protection regulations. Our website and communication via our website are encrypted using HTTPS.
