The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR; our legitimate interest lies in the secure and trouble-free provision of the website.

4. Enquiry form and contact by e-mail or phone

If you contact us via the enquiry form, by e-mail or by phone, we process the data you provide (name, practice or laboratory, e-mail address, phone number, location, subject and message) to handle your enquiry and for any follow-up questions.

When you use the form, we additionally store your IP address and the date and time of submission. This serves as proof of the enquiry and protects against misuse (e.g. automated spam submissions).

The legal basis is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR insofar as your enquiry relates to the performance of a contract or to pre-contractual measures, otherwise Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (legitimate interest in handling enquiries and preventing misuse) and your consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

If you have provided an e-mail address, we will automatically send you an acknowledgement of receipt with a summary of your details to that address.

The data will be deleted as soon as the enquiry has been fully dealt with and no statutory retention obligations (in particular under commercial and tax law) apply.

You have the right at any time to access (Art. 15 GDPR), rectification (Art. 16), erasure (Art. 17), restriction of processing (Art. 18), data portability (Art. 20) and to object to processing based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR (Art. 21). You may withdraw any consent you have given at any time with effect for the future.
