Processing of personal data

Provision of services
We process the personal data of customers and suppliers, or their employees, to the extent necessary for the purpose of concluding commercial contracts. For these purposes, data subjects are required to provide the data within the requested scope, as without such data we cannot provide our services. These data are processed in order to ensure the performance of the contract and related activities. In addition, after completion of the project, the company documents the delivered work and product by taking photographs, which are used for the purpose of handling possible complaints. Photographs of the completed work may also be used for publication in the Gallery on its website.

We also process these data in order to identify and report any misuse. The legal basis in this case is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. In this context, our interest with regard to the processing of personal data is to ensure the proper functioning of our website and the business conducted through our website.
