Business directory: company details (company name, legal form, company number, sector, date of incorporation, address, website, e-mail, telephone, fax). These details come from publicly accessible sources (company websites, public registers and directories) or directly from the business. Where they contain personal data (e.g. the name of a sole trader), we process them on the basis of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR (legitimate interest in operating a business directory).
Data verification and order: the company data entered via your personal link, the date and time, IP address and browser identifier of the submission, as well as your consent to the Terms and Conditions and Payment terms. The legal basis is Article 6(1)(b) GDPR (contract) and Article 6(1)(c) GDPR (record-keeping obligations).
Server logs: when the pages are accessed, our hosting service processes technically necessary data (IP address, time, page accessed, browser). This data is deleted after no more than 14 days (Article 6(1)(f) GDPR).
3. E-mails for data verification
We contact businesses to have the data held on them checked and completed. The e-mail addresses come from publicly accessible sources. You may object to receiving further e-mails at any time: eintrag@companypages.eu.
4. Cookies and third-party services
This website does not use advertising or analytics cookies and does not embed any third-party services (fonts, maps, tracking). The pages are hosted on servers in the European Union.
5. Recipients
We pass on data only where this is necessary for the performance of the contract (e.g. hosting providers in the EU, tax advisers) or where we are legally obliged to do so.
6. Retention period
We store directory entries for the duration of the entry and delete them on request. We retain order and invoice data in accordance with the retention periods under commercial and tax law (up to ten years).
7. Your rights
You have the right of access (Article 15 GDPR), rectification (Article 16), erasure (Article 17), restriction of processing (Article 18), data portability (Article 20) and objection (Article 21 GDPR).
