Enquiries and communication with us

When you write to us via the contact form or by email, or call us, we process the data you provide: your name, company name, email address, phone number, the content of your message and, where applicable, information about your project and budget.

Purpose: responding to your enquiry, preparing a quotation and discussing cooperation.
Legal basis: taking steps at your request prior to entering into a contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR) and, for general enquiries, our legitimate interest in responding to your message (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
Retention period: for as long as your enquiry and our discussions are ongoing. If no cooperation follows, we will delete the data no later than 2 years after our last communication.

Working with clients

For clients and their contact persons, we process identification and contact details, billing details and data necessary to carry out the order (e.g. a delivery address for printed materials and promotional items).

Purpose: entering into and performing the contract, communication about the order, invoicing and accounting.
Legal basis: performance of a contract (Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR), compliance with legal obligations, in particular accounting and tax obligations (Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR), and our legitimate interest in protecting our rights and claims (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
Retention period: for the duration of our cooperation. We keep accounting and tax documents for the period required by law (usually 10 years). Other data relating to our cooperation is kept for no longer than 4 years after it ends, so that we can establish or defend any legal claims.
