Terms for companies

Terms for companies receiving requests

Last updated: 15 July 2026. Part of the contractual relationship between LINLINE SE and a company listed in the Spa Pool News directory that receives requests.

1. Subject and purpose

LINLINE SE facilitates contact between a supplier company (the “Company”) and requesting parties. The Company receives requesters’ personal data solely for the purpose of preparing and submitting an offer for the specific request to which the data relates.

2. Position of the parties with respect to data

With respect to a passed-on request, the Company acts as an independent controller for the purpose of negotiating the project with the requester. The Company is responsible for its own GDPR compliance (information obligations towards the requester, retention periods, data subject rights). If the Company also processes data for LINLINE SE in some other way, a separate data processing agreement under Art. 28 GDPR will be concluded.

3. Company obligations

The Company undertakes to:

  1. Purpose limitation — use the requester’s data only to make an offer for the given request, not for other campaigns, cross-selling without consent, or any unrelated purpose.
  2. No resale or further disclosure — not sell, rent, or pass on the contact or any of the requester’s data to third parties (except its own processors necessary to prepare the offer, under the same conditions).
  3. Confidentiality — maintain confidentiality regarding the content of the request and the contact details; bind its own employees and collaborators to the same confidentiality.
  4. Minimization and retention limits — retain the data only for as long as necessary to negotiate the project; if no project materializes, delete the data without undue delay, no later than 6 months, unless another legal ground arises.
  5. Respect rights and withdrawal — upon request from the requester or LINLINE SE, stop processing and delete the data without undue delay.
  6. Security — implement reasonable technical and organizational measures and inform LINLINE SE without undue delay (no later than within 24 hours) of any suspected security breach concerning the data received.
  7. No spam — not send the requester unsolicited commercial communications beyond what is needed to respond to the request.
  8. Accurate profile — keep the data in its directory profile current and accurate.

4. Sanctions and termination

Breach of point 3 (in particular reselling the contact, breaching confidentiality, or breaching the purpose limitation) constitutes a material breach and entitles LINLINE SE to immediately suspend the supply of requests, remove the Company from the directory, and claim contractual penalties and damages. The Company is liable to LINLINE SE for harm caused by breaching these Terms, including any supervisory authority sanctions attributable to its failure. The specific amount of the contractual penalty is agreed individually when the Company registers for the request program.
