2.1 With the author’s given consent: Article 6 Paragraph 1 a of the GDPR
When you have given us your consent to process particular personal data, then this permission forms the legal basis for the processing of this data.
In the following cases, we process your personal data on the basis of the consent given by you:
2.2 For the performance of a contract: Article 6 Paragraph 1 b GDPR
We will use your personal data for the performance of the publishing contract as well as the precontractual communication. This includes, in particular, the reproduction, distribution, and marketing of your work in accordance with the contract, as well as the use of your institutional and residential addresses and short CV, as released by you for publication, in book previews, in book databases such as Bowker, Nielsen BookData, etc.

For the fulfillment of our contractual and legal obligations, we will disclose your personal data at different institutions as well as to external service providers:
Countries outside of the European Union (and the European Economic Area, EEA) manage the protection of personal data differently to countries inside the EU. We use service providers in countries outside of the EU for processing your data and/or transfer data to companies inside the Hogrefe Group who are located outside the EU. Currently, no decision has been made by the EU Commission that these third countries generally offer an adequate level of protection.
As a result, we have taken measures to ensure that your data is processed in third countries as it would be in the EU. We include the standard data protection clauses provided by the Commission of the European Union in contracts with service providers and Hogrefe Group companies in third countries. These clauses provide appropriate guaranties for the protection of your data with service providers in third countries.
We remain the point of contact with regards your rights to the protection of your personal data, also in third countries.
We save your personal data as long as is required for the fulfillment of our legal and contractual duties.
Should the storage of data for the fulfillment of our legal and contractual duties no longer be necessary, then your data will be deleted, unless further processing is required for the following purposes:
Every data subject has the right of access according to Article 15 of the GDPR, the right to rectification of the data (Article 16 of the GDPR), the right to erasure of the data (Article 17 of the GDPR), the right to restriction of the data processing (Article 18 of the GDPR), the right to object to the processing of data (Article 21 of the GDPR), as well as the right to data portability (Article 20 of the GDPR) and the right to lodge a complaint with the responsible supervisory authority (Article 77 of the GDPR).
