2. SCOPE OF THIS POLICY
​
This Privacy Policy explains how we process personal data when you visit our website, contact us, or submit an enquiry through our website. Personal data means information relating to an identified or identifiable individual.
​
3. WEBSITE ACCESS AND TECHNICAL DATA
​
When you access our website, technical information may be processed to deliver the site, maintain security, diagnose errors, and prevent misuse. Depending on the hosting setup, this may include IP address, browser and device information, requested pages, date and time of access, and technical log data.
​
Where processing is necessary for the secure and reliable operation of the website, the legal basis is our legitimate interests under Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, subject to the applicable balancing assessment.
​
4. CONTACT ENQUIRIES AND WEBSITE FORMS
​
If you contact us by email, telephone, or through our website contact form, we process the information you provide to respond to your enquiry and, where appropriate, discuss requested services. Depending on the channel, this may include your name, business email address, company, enquiry category, message, and related correspondence.
​
The legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR where processing is necessary to take steps at your request before entering into a contract or to perform a contract. For other business enquiries, the legal basis may be Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (our legitimate interest in responding to communications and managing business relationships).
​
We do not use your contact form submission to subscribe you to marketing communications unless a separate valid basis applies.
​
5. COOKIES AND SIMILAR TECHNOLOGIES
Our website may use cookies or similar technologies for essential functionality and, if enabled, optional analytics or other features. Where legally required, we obtain consent before storing or accessing non-essential information on your device. You can manage or withdraw consent using the cookie settings mechanism available on the website.
​
For further details, including the actual technologies, providers, purposes and durations, see our Cookie Policy.
​
​
6. ANALYTICS AND THIRD-PARTY SERVICES
If we use analytics, embedded maps, external media, or other third-party services, those services may process personal data when activated or accessed. We will identify the relevant services, purposes, legal bases, recipients, and any necessary consent arrangements in this policy and/or our Cookie Policy.
​
7. RECIPIENTS AND PROCESSORS
​
We may share personal data with service providers that support our website hosting, communications, IT operations, and enquiry management, to the extent necessary for the purposes described above. Where required, processors act under contractual arrangements consistent with Article 28 GDPR. Data may also be disclosed where legally required.
​
8. INTERNATIONAL DATA TRANSFERS
​
Some service providers may process or access personal data outside the European Economic Area. Where such transfers occur, we assess the applicable transfer mechanism and safeguards, such as an adequacy decision or the European Commission's Standard Contractual Clauses, where appropriate.
​
9. RETENTION
We retain personal data only for as long as necessary for the relevant purposes, subject to applicable statutory retention obligations. Retention depends on the category of data and the context of the communication or business relationship.
​
10. YOUR RIGHTS
​
Subject to the conditions set out in the GDPR, you may have the right to:
- request access to your personal data (Article 15);
- request rectification of inaccurate data (Article 16);
- request erasure (Article 17);
- request restriction of processing (Article 18);
- receive certain data in a portable format (Article 20);
- object to processing based on legitimate interests (Article 21); and
- withdraw consent at any time where processing relies on consent (Article 7(3)), without affecting the lawfulness of processing before withdrawal.
You may also lodge a complaint with a competent data protection supervisory authority. For a company established in Bavaria, the Bavarian Data Protection Authority for the Private Sector (BayLDA) may be relevant, subject to confirmation of supervisory competence.
To exercise your rights, contact us at contact@deutsche-china-consult.com.
​
11. OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE DATA
​
You are generally not legally required to provide personal data merely to browse our website. However, if you wish to submit a contact enquiry, we need the information marked as mandatory in the form to process and respond to it.
​
12. AUTOMATED DECISION-MAKING
13. UPDATES TO THIS PRIVACY POLICY

We may update this Privacy Policy when our processing activities, website features, or legal requirements change. The current version will be made available on this page, with its update date indicated above.
