For questions of any kind, we offer you the opportunity to contact us via a form provided on the website. In this case, the data marked as mandatory is required in order to be able to assign and answer the request. Further information may be provided voluntarily.
The processing of your personal data may arise on the one hand due to the implementation of pre-contractual measures that precede a contractually regulated business relationship or on the other hand in the fulfillment of obligations arising from a concluded contract with you. This may include, for example, the processing of purchase orders, deliveries or payments, or the preparation and response to quotation requests from individuals, to determine the establishment or terms of a contractual relationship.
In addition, tesa is subject to various legal obligations that may require the processing of your personal data. These legal obligations may arise, for example, from tax law, commercial law, foreign trade law, or sanctions law.
In addition, it may be necessary for the processing of your personal data to protect legitimate interests. The legitimate interests are the conclusion or implementation of contracts and other business relationships with our business partners, suppliers or interested parties for whom you may be acting as a representative or as an employee. Furthermore, legitimate interests are internal administrative purposes ( e.g., for accounting) or to ensure IT security and operation, as well as to conduct compliance investigations, to ensure building and facility security or to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.
In the context of our business relationship, you must provide those personal data that are necessary for the establishment, implementation and termination of a business relationship and for the fulfillment of the associated obligations, which we are required by law to collect or are entitled to collect on the basis of legitimate interests. Without this data, we will generally not be able to contact you and/or enter into a business relationship with you. If you have provided us with data voluntarily, we will indicate this accordingly when collecting the data.
To collaborate with business partners, we use various collaboration tools such as Microsoft 365 (e.g., Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, and OneDrive). If you provide your personal data, such as your name, email address, meeting metadata (e.g., date, duration), as well as any audio, video, or chat content, the aforementioned rules for the processing of your data apply equally.
In our company, automated processes, including artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, are used in various areas. These systems support, for example, product development, information analysis, the optimization of internal processes, and the enhancement of efficiency in interactions with customers and business partners. If, in individual cases, consent or specific labeling is required for such processing beyond the already mentioned data protection bases, this will be carried out in accordance with applicable legal requirements.
Your personal data will always be treated confidentially by us and will only be transmitted to the following recipients:
In some cases, it may be necessary for us to pass on your personal data to other global companies within our group for the above-mentioned purposes. We pass on the data collected as part of the contact form to the company responsible for processing your inquiry. Your personal data may therefore also be processed in countries outside the EU/EEA, insofar as this is necessary to respond.
