2.1. Purposes of the Processing/Legal Basis
We treat all personal data that we receive from you by e-mail, telephone or mail confidentially. We use your data solely for the limited purpose of processing your inquiry. The legal basis for the processing is Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. Our legitimate interest arises from the interest in responding to your inquiries so that customer satisfaction is ensured and promoted.
When you send us personal data by contacting us for purposes of initiating or performing an existing contractual relationship, Article 6(1)(b) GDPR is the legal basis for data processing.
2.2. Recipients/Categories of Recipients
As a rule, we do not transfer the data to third parties outside of Schwarz Corporate Affairs GmbH & Co. KG. In exceptional cases, we will have a processor process the data on our behalf. Such processors are carefully selected and bound by contract in accordance with Article 28 GDPR.
Where necessary to process your inquiry, we transfer your data to companies of Schwarz Group, such as Schwarz Corporate Solutions KG and SUPERMARKET LA COCOȘ S.A.

You are under no statutory or contractual obligation to provide personal data to us. However, if you do not provide us with the data required to process your request, we will not be able to process or respond to it.
2.4. Storage Time/Criteria for Determining Storage Time
We delete or securely anonymize all information we receive from you when you make inquiries no later than 90 days after the final response is sent to you. The information is retained for 90 days in case you contact us again after receiving a response from us on the same matter and we need to refer to our previous correspondence. Based on experience, we generally do not receive any questions concerning our responses after 90 days. If you assert your rights as a data subject, your personal data will be stored for three years after the final response in order to document the fact that we provided you with comprehensive information and that the legal requirements have been met.
