We are pleased about your visit to our website and would like to explain to you transparently whether and when your personal data is collected and processed.
Privacy policy
As a matter of principle, it is possible to use our website without providing personal data. However, if you want to use special services of our enterprise via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing (e.g. the implementation of a contractual agreement), we ask for your consent.
With this notice, we inform you about which data we collect from you, how we use it and how you can object to the use of data. We are aware of how important it is for you to handle your personal data carefully when using our services.

DB Systel GmbH Jürgen-Ponto-Platz 1 60329 Frankfurt am Main E-mail:What data do we collect and how and why do we process your data?
We collect and process your data exclusively for specific purposes. These may result from technical necessities, contractual requirements or express user requests.
For technical reasons, certain data must be collected and stored when you visit https://feedback-anwenderkommunkation.dbsystel.de, such as the date and duration of the visit, the web pages used, the identification data of the browser and operating system type used and the website from which you are visiting us.Legal basis of data processing
Insofar as we obtain your consent for processing operations involving personal data, this serves as the legal basis in accordance with Article 6 (1) lit. a DSGVO.
Where the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract with you, the contract is the legal basis under Article 6(1) lit. b DSGVO. Article 6 (1) lit. b DSGVO also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of enquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation by which the processing of personal data becomes necessary, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) lit. c DSGVO. In order to continuously improve our offer, we store and analyse usage data from the online area on a pseudonymous basis. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 para. 1 f) DSGVO.Is data passed on?
The provision of the website usually requires the involvement of instruction-dependent processors, such as data centre operators.
External service providers who process data on our behalf are carefully selected by us and strictly bound by contract. The service providers work according to our instructions, which is ensured by strict contractual regulations, by technical and organisational measures and by supplementary controls.
Otherwise, your data will only be transferred if you have given us your express consent to do so or on the basis of a statutory regulation.
A transfer to third countries outside the EU/EEA or to an international organisation does not take place unless there are appropriate guarantees. These include the EU standard contractual clauses and an adequacy decision by the EU Commission.
How long will your data be stored?
We only store your data for as long as it is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected or if this is provided for by law. For example, in the context of a contractual relationship, we store your data at least until the complete termination of the contract. Afterwards, the data is stored for the duration of the statutory retention periods.
