Provision of personal data

In connection with the insolvency proceedings , debtors are legally obliged to provide personal data: Debtors are obliged to provide information and cooperation to the court, a court-appointed expert and the (provisional) insolvency administrator from the insolvency application procedure onwards (§§ 4, 5 InsO in conjunction with § 404a ZPO, §§ 22 para. 3, 97 para. 1 InsO). If the debtor does not comply with this, the court can enforce this by means of coercive measures (§§ 22 para. 3, 98 InsO).

 

Legal bases

In the context of insolvency proceedings, the main legal bases are processing on the basis of legal requirements (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) GDPR) or in the public interest (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. e) GDPR) in conjunction with the provisions of the Insolvency Code (InsO).

Insofar as the processing of your data is carried out in connection with the insolvency insurance of tour operators (travel protection fund), Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) GDPR serves as the legal basis, in particular in conjunction with §§ 651r et seq. of the German Civil Code ("BGB"), the Travel Security Fund Act ("RSG") and the Travel Security Fund Ordinance ("RSFV").

Insofar as the processing of your data is necessary to comply with a legal obligation, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If the processing of your data is in connection with the performance of a contract to which you are a party, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also includes the implementation of pre-contractual measures at the request of you as the data subject.

Insofar as we obtain your consent for processing operations, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data.

If the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of you as a data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

 

Duration of personal data retention

We process and store your personal data only for as long as is necessary to fulfil the purpose for which it was collected. After that, we delete or anonymise your personal data, with the exception of data that we must continue to store in order to comply with legal obligations (e.g. we are obliged to retain documents such as business letters, contracts and invoices for a certain period of time due to retention periods under tax and commercial law) or to store them within the framework of the statutory statute of limitations for the assertion, exercise or defence of legal claims.
