Privacy policy
We are delighted that you are interested in our company (hereinafter collectively referred to as “the company,” “we,” or “us”). Data protection is a particularly high priority for the management of Pexcom GmbH. It is generally possible to use the Pexcom GmbH website without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use specific services offered by our company via our website, it may be necessary to process personal data. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, email address, or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (Regulation (EU) 2016/679; hereinafter: “GDPR”) and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to Pexcom GmbH. Through this privacy policy, our company wishes to inform the public about the nature, scope, purpose, duration, and legal basis of the personal data we collect, use, and process (cf. Articles 13 and 14 GDPR). Furthermore, this policy (hereinafter: “Privacy Policy”) informs data subjects about their rights.
As the controller, Pexcom GmbH has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible for the personal data processed via this website. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, for example by telephone.
1. Definitions
The privacy policy of Pexcom GmbH is based on the terminology used by the European legislators and regulators when enacting the GDPR (Art. 4 GDPR). Our privacy policy is intended to be easy to read and understand for the general public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terminology used in advance.
We use the following terms, among others, in our privacy policy:
- a) personal data
“Personal data” (Art. 4 No. 1 GDPR) is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter referred to as “data subject”). A natural person is considered identifiable if they can be identified directly or indirectly, in particular by association with an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier, or one or more special characteristics that express the physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural, or social identity of that natural person. Identifiability may also be given by linking such information or other additional knowledge. The origin, form, or embodiment of the information is irrelevant (photos, video, or audio recordings may also contain personal data). - b) data subject
“Data subject” means any identified or identifiable natural or legal person whose personal data is processed by the controller. - c) processing
“Processing” (Art. 4 No. 2 GDPR) means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means (i.e., technology-based), such as collection (i.e., procurement), recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction, and the change of the purpose or intended use for which the data was originally processed. - d) Restriction of processing
“Restriction of processing” (Art. 4 No. 3 GDPR) is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of restricting its future processing. - e) Profiling
“Profiling” (Art. 4 No. 4 GDPR) is any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of using that personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location, or changes in location of that natural person. - f) pseudonymization
“Pseudonymization” (Art. 4 No. 5 GDPR) is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data is not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person. - g) Controller or person responsible for processing
The “controller” (Art. 4 No. 7 GDPR) or person responsible for processing is the natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body that, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. If the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law. - h) processor
A “processor” (Art. 4 No. 8 GDPR) is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body that processes personal data on behalf of the controller, in particular in accordance with the controller’s instructions. In terms of data protection law, a processor is not a third party. - i) recipient
“Recipient” (Art. 4 No. 9 GDPR) is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body to whom personal data is disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities that may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients. - j) third party
“Third party” (Art. 4 No. 10 GDPR) is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency, or other body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor, and the persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data; this also includes other legal entities belonging to the group. - k) consent
“Consent” (Art. 4 No. 11 GDPR) means any freely given, specific, informed, and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.
2. Name and address of the data controller
The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation, other data protection laws applicable in the Member States of the European Union, and other provisions of a data protection nature (within the meaning of Art. 4 No. 7 GDPR) is:
Pexcom GmbH
Weinstraße 1
67157 Wachenheim an der Weinstraße
Germany
Phone: +49 (0) 89 541 960 502
E-Mail: info@pexcom.org
Website: https://pexcom.org
If you have any questions about data protection, please do not hesitate to contact us by email or phone at any time.
3. Contact option via the website
Due to legal requirements (in accordance with Art. 13 (1) (a) and (b) of the GDPR), the website of Pexcom GmbH contains information that enables quick electronic contact with our company and direct communication with us, which also includes a general address for electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the controller by email or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject is automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted voluntarily by a data subject to the controller is stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. This personal data is not passed on to third parties.
4. Cookies
The websites of Pexcom GmbH use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored on a computer system via an Internet browser.
Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier for the cookie. It consists of a string of characters that allows websites and servers to be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the websites and servers visited to distinguish the individual browser of the person concerned from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.
By using cookies, Pexcom GmbH can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without cookies.
Cookies enable us to optimize the information and offers on our website for the benefit of the user. As already mentioned, cookies enable us to recognize users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, users of a website that uses cookies do not have to re-enter their login details each time they visit the website, as this is done by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie used for a shopping cart in an online shop. The online shop uses a cookie to remember the items that a customer has placed in their virtual shopping cart.
The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting in the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software programs. This is possible in all common Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.
5. Collection of general data and information
The Pexcom GmbH website collects a range of general data and information each time the website is accessed by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The following may be recorded: (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrer), (4) the sub-websites that are accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an Internet Protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) other similar data and information that serves to avert danger in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using this general data and information, Pexcom GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is required in order to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website and the advertising for it, (3) ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyberattack. This anonymously collected data and information is therefore evaluated by Pexcom GmbH on the one hand statistically and on the other hand with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data in the server log files is stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.
6. Legal basis for processing
Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for our company for processing operations in which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of other services or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 para. I lit. b GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation that requires the processing of personal data, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured on our premises and their name, age, health insurance details, or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital, or other third party. In this case, the processing would be based on Art. 6(1)(d) GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. This legal basis applies to processing operations that are not covered by any of the above legal bases if the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights, and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this regard, the legislator took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47, sentence 2 of the GDPR).
7. Legitimate interests in processing pursued by the controller or a third party
If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is the performance of our business activities for the benefit of all our employees and our shareholders.
8. Routine deletion and blocking of personal data
The controller processes and stores personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the storage purpose or if this has been provided for by the European legislator or another legislator in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject. If the purpose of storage no longer applies or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.
9. Duration for which personal data is stored
The criterion for the duration of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of the period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, provided that it is no longer required for the performance or initiation of a contract or that there is no other legal basis for its storage. However, storage may continue beyond the specified period in the event of an (imminent) legal dispute with you or other legal proceedings, or if storage is required by legal regulations to which we, as the controller, are subject.
10. data security
We use appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction, or unauthorized access by third parties, taking into account the current state of the art, implementation costs, and the nature, scope, context, and purpose of processing, as well as the existing risks of a data breach (including its likelihood and impact) for the data subject. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments. We will be happy to provide you with further information on request.
11. Cooperation with processors
As with many companies, we also use external domestic and foreign service providers to conduct our business transactions. These service providers only act in accordance with our instructions and are contractually obliged to comply with data protection regulations in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR. If we pass on your personal data to our subsidiaries or if they pass it on to us, this is done on the basis of existing data processing agreements.
12. Requirements for the transfer of personal data to third countries
Within the scope of our business relationships, your personal data may be passed on or disclosed to third-party companies. These may also be located outside the European Economic Area (EEA), i.e., in third countries. Such processing is carried out exclusively for the purpose of fulfilling contractual and business obligations and maintaining your business relationship with us (legal basis: Art. 6 (1) (b) or (f) in conjunction with Art. 44 ff. GDPR).
The European Commission certifies that some third countries have data protection standards comparable to those of the EEA through so-called adequacy decisions (a list of these countries and a copy of the adequacy decisions can be found here: https://ec.europa.eu/info/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection/adequacy-decisions_en). In other third countries to which personal data may be transferred, however, there may not be a consistently high level of data protection due to a lack of legal provisions. Where this is the case, we ensure that data protection is adequately guaranteed. This is possible through binding corporate rules, standard contractual clauses of the European Commission for the protection of personal data in accordance with Art. 46 (1) and (2) (c) GDPR (the standard contractual clauses of 2021 are available at https://eurlex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/? uri=CELEX%3A32021D0915&locale-en), certificates, or recognized codes of conduct.
13. Existence of automated decision-making
As a responsible company, we refrain from automated decision-making or profiling.
14. Legal or contractual requirements for the provision of personal data; necessity for the conclusion of a contract; obligation of the data subject to provide personal data; possible consequences of failure to provide data
We would like to inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or may also result from contractual provisions (e.g., information about the contractual partner). In some cases, it may be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data in order to conclude a contract, which we must then process. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with them. Failure to provide personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before providing personal data, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will explain to the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data, and what the consequences of not providing the personal data would be.
15. Rights of the data subject
- a) Right to confirmation
Every data subject has the right granted by European directives and regulations to request confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data concerning them is being processed. If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of confirmation, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time. - b) Recht auf Auskunft
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by European directives and regulations, to obtain from the controller, at any time and free of charge, information about the personal data stored about them and a copy of this information. Furthermore, European directives and regulations grant the data subject the right to obtain the following information: - the purposes of the processing
- the categories of personal data that are being processed
- the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organizations
- if possible, the planned duration for which the personal data will be stored or, if this is not possible, the criteria for determining this duration
- the existence of a right to rectify or erase personal data concerning them or to restrict processing by the controller or a right to object to such processing
- the existence of a right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority
- if the personal data are not collected from the data subject: All available information about the origin of the data
- The existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, pursuant to Article 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR and, at least in these cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject.
Furthermore, the data subject has the right to obtain information about whether personal data has been transferred to a third country or to an international organization. If this is the case, the data subject also has the right to obtain information about the appropriate safeguards in connection with the transfer.
If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to information, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.
c) Right to rectification
Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by European directives and regulations to request the immediate correction of inaccurate personal data concerning them. Furthermore, the person concerned has the right to request the completion of incomplete personal data, taking into account the purposes of the processing, including by means of a supplementary statement.
If a data subject wishes to exercise this right of rectification, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.
d) Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by European directives and regulations to request that the controller delete personal data concerning them without delay, provided that one of the following reasons applies and insofar as the processing is not necessary:
The personal data has been collected or otherwise processed for purposes for which it is no longer necessary.
The data subject revokes their consent on which the processing was based in accordance with Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR or Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(2) GDPR.
The personal data has been processed unlawfully.
The deletion of the personal data is necessary to comply with a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject.
The personal data was collected in relation to information society services offered in accordance with Art. 8 (1) GDPR.
If one of the above reasons applies and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by Pexcom GmbH, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time. The employee of Pexcom GmbH will ensure that the erasure request is complied with immediately.
If the personal data has been made public by Pexcom GmbH and our company is obliged to delete the personal data as the controller pursuant to Art. 17 (1) GDPR, Pexcom GmbH shall take appropriate measures, including technical measures, taking into account the available technology and implementation costs, to inform other controllers who process the published personal data that the data subject has requested these other data controllers to delete all links to this personal data or copies or replications of this personal data, unless processing is necessary. The employee of Pexcom GmbH will take the necessary steps in each individual case.
e) Right to restriction of processing
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by European directives and regulations, to request that the controller restrict processing if one of the following conditions is met:
The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
The processing is unlawful, the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of use instead.
The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but the data subject needs it for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
The data subject has objected to the processing pursuant to Art. 21(1) GDPR and it is not yet clear whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.
If one of the above conditions is met and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored by Pexcom GmbH, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time. The Pexcom GmbH employee will arrange for the restriction of processing.
f) Recht auf Datenübertragbarkeit
Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to receive the personal data concerning them, which they have provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format. They also have the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data was provided, provided that the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR and the processing is carried out using automated means, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
Furthermore, when exercising their right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20 (1) GDPR, the data subject has the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.
To assert their right to data portability, the data subject may contact an employee of Pexcom GmbH at any time.
g) Right to object
Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to object at any time, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning them which is carried out on the basis of Article 6(1)(e) or (f) of the GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.
In the event of an objection, Pexcom GmbH will no longer process the personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing that override the interests, rights, and freedoms of the data subject, or the processing serves to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims.
If Pexcom GmbH processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject has the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data for such marketing purposes. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to Pexcom GmbH processing their data for direct marketing purposes, Pexcom GmbH will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.
In addition, the data subject has the right to object, on grounds relating to their particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning them carried out by Pexcom GmbH for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes in accordance with Article 89(1) of the GDPR, unless such processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest.
To exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact any employee of Pexcom GmbH or another employee directly. The data subject is also free to exercise their right to object in relation to the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.
h) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling
Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by European directives and regulations not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affects them, unless the decision (1) is not necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is based on the data subject’s explicit consent.
If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into or performing a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is made with the explicit consent of the data subject, Pexcom GmbH shall take appropriate measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and legitimate interests of the data subject, including at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express their point of view and to contest the decision.
If the data subject wishes to exercise their rights in relation to automated decisions, they may contact an employee of the controller at any time.
i) Right to withdraw consent under data protection law
Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by European directives and regulations, to revoke their consent to the processing of personal data at any time.
If the person concerned wishes to exercise their right to revoke their consent, they can contact an employee of the controller at any time.
