Our processing of personal data is based on the following principles:
5. OUR DATA PROCESSING ACTIVITIES
This section applies to contracts concluded in the course of our business, i.e., contracts that we enter into with our customers or subcontractors, collaborators, and suppliers. This clause does not cover employment contracts and other employment relationships.
Concerning the contracts covered by this point, personal data processing may take place where our contracting partner is a sole proprietor, which necessarily involves processing personal data. In such a case, all data relating to, connected to or in connection with the contract which comes to our knowledge concerning our partner shall be considered as personal data of our partner.
If our contracting partner is a company (legal person), personal data are processed essentially concerning the contact person acting on behalf of the partner or designated by the partner.
Who is the Data Controller?
If we act as consortium members for a project, the consortium agreement will also cover the data processing issues. In general, personal data relating to the conclusion and performance of contracts related to consortium activities are treated as Joint Data Controllers with the consortium members. Indeed, the operation of the consortium, the performance of its tasks and the settlement of accounts are all objectives that require close cooperation and joint decision-making between the consortium members.
Also, as a Joint Data Controller, we maintain a HubSpot CRM system (hereinafter: CRM) together with the members of the QTICS Group, in which we also record contractual contact details and data relating to contracts.
What is the purpose of data processing?
If our contracting partner is a sole proprietor, the purpose of the personal data processing is the establishment, registration and performance of the contract. The purposes of processing in the context of the performance of the contract also include the settlement of any warranty and guarantee claims and other disputes.
If the contract is subject to an obligation to issue an invoice and our contracting partner is a sole proprietor, the data relating to the invoice issued on the basis of the contract are considered personal data, and the purpose of the data processing is to fulfil our statutory accounting obligations (issuing invoices, keeping invoices).
If our contracting partner is a company or other organisation, the purpose of processing personal data of the person acting on its behalf or of the contact person is the smooth establishment, performance, or termination of the contract.
Which personal data do we process for the above purposes?
For a sole proprietor:
For legal person contacts:
Confirmation of performance
On what legal basis and for how long do we process this personal data?
In the case of a contract with a sole proprietor, we need their personal and contact data in order to conclude and perform the contract. The legal basis for processing these data is the performance of the contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR.
In addition to the above, in the case of a sole proprietor, certain personal data are processed based on the following legal obligation (Article 6(1)(c) GDPR):
In the case of a non-self-employed person, we process the contact data in our legitimate interest for the smooth performance of the contract pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR during the limitation period for the performance of the contract and the related claims.
Given that the contracts and the related accounting documents, as well as the necessary contact data, form a logical unit for the existence and smooth performance of the contract, they share a legal fate in terms of their retention. The retention period is eight (8) years from the termination of the contract. After the expiry of the retention period (8+1 years), the documents will be deleted from all active records of our Company and will no longer be accessible to staff carrying out operational tasks. The deletion does not apply to data stored through a backup procedure created during a commonly accepted backup process.
Will data be transferred?
Data may be disclosed to the competent authority in order to fulfil a statutory obligation to provide information or in response to a request from a public authority. Data will be transferred to the accountant under a data processing contract.

Our Company has a company profile on various social media platforms:
The operator of the social media platform essentially decides the operating principles of social media platforms and the functions available. However, as a user, our Company is given the opportunity (to a limited extent) to customise certain functions, thus, both our Company and the respective social media platform are involved in the data processing. Consequently, the company/organisation operating the social media platform and our Company are considered Joint Controllers in relation to data processing on the platform. However, we have no control over the decisions of the company/entity operating the social media platform, and we do not have any information about their data processing activities beyond what is provided in their privacy policy, and therefore we exclude our liability in this regard.
Before using a social media platform, please always read the privacy policy of the social media platform in question so that you, as a user, can also take advantage of the personalised privacy settings provided by the social media platform.
The operation of our social media pages is in the legitimate interest of our Company. It is in our legitimate interest to promote our Company on these platforms as well, to be accessible, and to enable people interested in our services and job opportunities to contact us and obtain information through these platforms.
On social networking sites, we may learn personal information, such as profile pictures, names, etc., about users who have joined our sites in accordance with the site's rules and the user's preferences. Users can also rate (like), vote, share and comment on our posts. Comments and postings will be moderated, and if we believe that they are illegal or infringe on the rights and interests of our Company or others, we have the right to remove them.
Considering that joining our social media platforms is entirely voluntary, the legal basis for processing will be your consent (Article 6(1)(a) GDPR).
With the deletion of the profile of the social networking site or our Company, the data processing on the social networking site will also disappear. It will also cease to be processed if your followers are "tracked" on our social media platform.
We have placed simple links to Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram on our website. In such cases, data will only be transferred to these social media operators when you click on the relevant icon (e.g., the "f" icon in the case of Facebook). When you click on that icon, you will be taken to our corporate interface on the social platform to which the link relates, where you can read our posts, write comments, and send us messages.
Will data be transferred?
There will be no data transfer to third-party companies within this scope of data processing.
