Privacy Policy for WhatsApp
For communication with our customers and other third parties, we use the instant messaging service WhatsApp, among others. The provider is WhatsApp Ireland Limited, 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.
Communication takes place via end-to-end encryption (peer-to-peer), which prevents WhatsApp or other third parties from gaining access to the communication content. However, WhatsApp receives access to metadata that arises during the communication process (e.g. sender, recipient and time). We would also like to point out that WhatsApp says it shares its users' personal data with its US-based parent company Facebook. Further details on data processing can be found in WhatsApp's data protection policy at: https://www.whatsapp.com/legal/#privacy-policy.
The use of WhatsApp is based on our legitimate interest in communicating with customers, interested parties and other business and contractual partners as quickly and effectively as possible (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR). If consent has been requested, data processing will be carried out exclusively on the basis of consent; this can be revoked at any time with effect for the future.
The communication content exchanged between and on WhatsApp will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to storage or the purpose for storing the data no longer applies (e.g. after your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions - in particular retention periods - remain unaffected.
