II. General information on data processing

Data protection is of particular importance to reese-solutions GmbH.

Personal data is all information that relates to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter: „data subject“).

The collection and use of our users‘ personal data is always carried out in accordance with the GDPR and the applicable country-specific data protection regulations. If the processing of personal data is necessary and such processing is not permitted by legal regulations, we always obtain the consent of the person concerned.

A transfer of personal data to third parties does not take place. A transfer will only take place if you have given your express consent (Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. a GDPR); There is a legitimate interest in the disclosure and there is no reason to assume that you have an overriding legitimate interest in not disclosing your data (Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. f GDPR); there is a legal obligation for the transfer (Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. c GDPR); or a transfer is permitted within the framework of the performance of a contract with you (Art. 6 sec. 1 lit. b GDPR).
