We are exempt from the obligation to appoint a data protection officer due to the size of our company.

2. Purposes of the processing for which the personal data are intended as well as the legal basis for the processing (Art. 13 (1) (c) GDPR)

The corporate purpose of the company is the translating, proofreading and editing of texts in various languages and the provision of related services. The main purpose of collecting, processing and using personal data consists in contract processing. Subsidiary purposes include customer and supplier administration as well as contract initiation.

Personal data are collected, processed and used for the following groups of people, as far as this is necessary for fulfilling the aforementioned purposes:

• Customers: address and contact details, contract data, billing data, payment data, other service information
• Suppliers: address and contact details, contract data, billing data, other service information
• Prospective customers: address and contact details, other service information

Personal data will only be processed if one of the following applies:

• The data subject has given consent to the processing of his or her personal data for one or more specific purposes (Art. 6 (1) GDPR).
• Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract (Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR).
• Processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which we are subject (Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR).

3. Recipients or categories of recipients of personal data (Art. 13 (1) (e) and (f) GDPR)

Personal data are only used internally and are passed on only in accordance with legal provisions:

• to public authorities, if and as required by law.
• to service providers as vicarious agents, insofar as the data are required for fulfilling the purposes stated under 2. above.

Personal data are not transmitted to a third country or to an international organization.

The personal data will be erased on completion of the contract at the data subject’s request.

• Data subjects have the right to revoke their consent for processing pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDRP unless proscribed by law (e.g. tax law) or contractual agreement.

These measures are provided free of charge; all that is required is a simple message to us in text form.

The provision of personal data may be a statutory or contractual requirement, or a requirement necessary to enter into a contract.

Fields of expertise

Our fields of expertise encompass a variety of areas in law, business, engineering and literature.

You profit not only from our many years of professional experience, but also from our diversified specialized knowledge. We collaborate closely with experts from a great variety of fields.

Three partners and qualified translators who, together, complement one another and form a strong team with their diversified skills:  

Dorothee Hecker     Michela Hecker-Douez     Claudia Porger  

In close cooperation with colleagues at home and abroad with whom we have worked for many years and who are dedicated to the same high standards as we, we provide you with high-quality translations in a variety of language combinations and areas of expertise.

We personally handle your requests.

Many administrative offices, courts, universities and even employers demand certified translations of your documents.

As court-authorized translators, we are empowered to certify our translations. These certified translations are accepted by all public authorities.

These documents include civil status documents such as birth certificates, marriage certificates, certificates of inheritance, death certificates, etc., as well as good-conduct certificates, school and university certificates and transcripts, tax assessments, excerpts from the commercial register, powers of attorney, court and notary documents and statements by administrative authorities.

We always work according to the native language principle, i.e. only highly qualified translators translate your texts into their own native languages. This guarantees you a linguistically superb translation.

For quality assurance, our translations go through two editing phases: First, upon completion of a translation, the translator checks his or her own work. During the ensuing editing phase, this translation is then proofread by a second qualified translator. Any corrections are made in close collaboration with the initial translator. This four-eye principle ensures delivery of a translation of outstanding technical and linguistic quality.

Adherence to schedules and reliability are the pillars of our collaboration with you. We also fulfil short-term deadline requests whenever possible. We treat all of your texts with strict confidentiality – as expected of us as judicially authorized qualified translators.

Your project is in safe hands with us: our teams’ many years of experience and professional expertise ensure you effective communications with your business partners and the basis for successfully marketing your products.
