ASTRAS Supplier Profile

We make the ASTRAS supplier portal (“ASTRAS”) available to you. ASTRAS is a software from Allocation Network GmbH (Arabellastraße 17, 81925 Munich, Germany). We have carefully searched out and commissioned this supplier pursuant to Art. 28 GDPR. For this, we have entered into an additional processing agreement which specifies the object and duration of the processing, the type and purpose of the processing, the type of personal data, the categories of data subjects and the duties and rights of the controller (pursuant to Art. 28 (3) GDPR).

The following personal data may be processed in the context of the use of ASTRA by WAGO:

• Historic data regarding the business relation between yourself and us and companies connected with us
• Advertising and sales data, including information specific to target groups
• Data within the scope of ongoing contact maintenance or business acquisition; e.g., data regarding conversations that occurred, including date, time and purpose

We use your data for the following purposes:

We collect, save, process and use your personal data when, to the extent that and for as long as required for the potential initiation, justification, transaction or termination of a contractual relationship. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR.

Beyond this, personal data are collected, saved, processed and used only if a legal provision mandates or permits it or you have given your consent. We will inform you of the applicable legal provisions at a separate location.

Within the scope of the initiation of business relationships and within the limits of what is legally permissible, we are entitled to check the supplier‘s risk of payment default, for the purpose of deciding about the justification, transaction or termination of a sales contract.

In this regard, probability values for the customer‘s future actions are collected and processed. Supplier address data and credit data from credit agencies are also used in calculating these probability data.

For this check, it is possible that services from credit agencies or other thirds are claimed; to serve this purpose, data from you is conveyed to them or requested by them.

Data are collected, processed and used for this purpose on the basis of Art. 6 (1) (b) and (c) GDPR.

Within this legal context, we are also entitled to convey the supplier data to thirds, if and to the extent that such is necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures and fulfillment of this contract (e.g., for dispatch, invoicing or customer maintenance) per Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR or fulfilling a legal obligation in the sense of Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR is required. In required cases – to the extent that is legally permissible – we will forward this data to thirds; e.g., debt collection agencies; under some circumstances, also for the purpose of debt collection in accord with Art. 6 (1) (b) and/or (f) GDPR.
