Competition
When you enter our competition, we process the data you provide (first name, surname, address, email address, telephone number, message via the social network) in-house for the sole purpose of determining and contacting winners, in accordance with Art. 6 (1)(b) of the GDPR.  This includes checking the conditions of entry.

We will store only the winner’s data for ten years, in accordance with the retainment periods specified by German fiscal law (Art. 147 of the German Tax Code, Art. 257 of the German Commercial Code).
