Privacy policy

We are very delighted that you have visited our website. Data protection is particularly important to us. It is generally possible to use our website without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to make use of special services 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, e-mail address or telephone number of a data subject, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in accordance with the applicable country-specific data protection regulations. By means of this privacy policy, we would like to inform you and the public about the type, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights by means of this privacy policy.

As the controller, Possehl Secure GmbH has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures (TOM) to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through 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. 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 is:

Possehl Secure GmbH

Person responsible: Michael Gentzen

Eiler Str. 3N

D-51107 Cologne

Germany

Phone: (0) 221/466 195-20

E-mail: info@possehl-secure.de

Website: www.possehl-secure.de

2. Contact details of the data protection officer

Any data subject can contact our data protection officer directly at any time with any questions or suggestions regarding data protection. The data protection officer of the controller is:

BullProtect, a brand of NetBull GmbH

Person responsible: Jeremias Vaillant

www.bullprotect.de

You can contact our data protection officer by post at our above address with the addition “Data Protection Officer” or by email at: datenschutz@possehl-secure.de

3. Collection of general data and information

Our 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.

For example, the following can be recorded

(1) 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 which 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 used for security purposes in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

When using this general data and information, no conclusions are drawn about the data subject.

Rather, this information is required in order to

(1) deliver and display 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) to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyber attack.

This anonymously collected data and information is therefore evaluated by the controller both statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security at our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimum level of protection for the personal data processed by us. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

4. Legal basis of the processing

Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for 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, when processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations that are necessary for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If we are 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 para. 1 lit. c) GDPR. In rare cases, it may be necessary to process personal data in order 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 would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d) GDPR. Finally, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases are based on this legal basis if the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of us 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 respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR). Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1)(f) GDPR, our legitimate interest is to carry out our business in favor of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.

5. Duration for which the personal data is stored

The criterion for the duration of the 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 contract fulfillment or contract initiation or the deletion does not conflict with any other legal or statutory requirements.

6. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data

The controller shall process and store the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as far as this is granted by the European legislator or other legislators in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject to.

If the storage purpose no longer applies or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data is routinely blocked or erased in accordance with the statutory provisions.

7. Legal or contractual regulations for the provision of personal data

We inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may also result from contractual or pre-contractual regulations (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary for a contract to be concluded for a data subject to provide us with personal data that must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if we conclude a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact one of our employees. Our employee will inform the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the 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 would be if the personal data were not provided.

8. Registration on our website / use of input masks and forms

The data subject has the possibility to register on the website of the controller by providing personal data or by entering personal data in input masks. This may be necessary, for example, to subscribe to a newsletter, to make contact via a contact form, to register for participation in events or other similar registration options. Which personal data is transmitted to the controller is determined by the respective input mask used for registration. The personal data entered by the data subject is collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller and for its own purposes. The controller may arrange for the data to be passed on to one or more processors, such as a parcel service provider, who will also use the personal data exclusively for internal use attributable to the controller.

When you contact us (e.g. via the contact form), personal data is collected. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of responding to your request and the associated technical administration. The legal basis for the processing of the data is our legitimate interest in responding to your request in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. If the purpose of your contact is to conclude a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR. Your data will be deleted after final processing of your request; this is the case if it can be inferred that the matter in question has been conclusively clarified and provided that there are no statutory or legal retention obligations to prevent deletion.

By registering on the controller's website, the IP address assigned by the data subject's Internet service provider (ISP), the date and time of registration are also stored. This data is stored against the background that this is the only way to prevent misuse of our services and, if necessary, to make it possible to investigate criminal offenses that have been committed. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary to safeguard the controller. This data will not be passed on to third parties unless there is a statutory or legal obligation to pass it on or it serves the purpose of criminal prosecution.

The registration of the data subject with the voluntary provision of personal data serves the controller to offer the data subject content or services which, due to the nature of the matter, can only be offered to registered users or those who explicitly request this. These persons are free to change the personal data provided at any time or to have it completely deleted from the controller's database.

The controller shall provide any data subject at any time upon request with information about what personal data is stored about the data subject. Furthermore, the controller shall rectify or erase personal data at the request or indication of the data subject, insofar as this does not conflict with any statutory or legal retention obligations. All of the controller's employees are available to the data subject as contact persons in this context.

9. Recipients or categories of recipients

Depending on the purpose for which the personal data is collected, we transmit this data to the following recipients or categories of recipients, for example, or they are directly involved in the processing of the personal data:

· Provider

· IT service provider

· Other recipients depending on the tools used

10. Transfer to third countries

Depending on the purpose for which the personal data is collected, it is transferred to third countries as follows

· Google Recaptcha

· Google Fonts

11. Existence of automated decision-making

As a responsible company, we do not use automated decision-making or profiling.

12. Data protection for applications and in the application process

The controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of handling the application process. Processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits the relevant application documents to the controller by electronic means, for example by e-mail or via a web form on the website. If the controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If the controller does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents will be automatically deleted no later than six months after notification of the rejection decision, unless deletion conflicts with any other legitimate interests of the controller pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) GDPR. Other legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

13. Definitions

This data protection declaration is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.

d) Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies and insofar as the processing is not necessary:

The personal data have been collected or otherwise processed for such purposes for which they are no longer necessary.

If one of the aforementioned reasons applies, and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by us, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller. Our employee will ensure that the request for erasure is complied with immediately.

If we have made the personal data public and are obliged to erase the personal data in accordance with Art. 17 para. 1 GDPR, we shall take appropriate measures, including technical measures, taking into account the available technology and the implementation costs, to inform other data controllers who process the published personal data, that the data subject has requested the erasure of all links to this personal data or of copies or replications of this personal data from these other data controllers, insofar as the processing is not necessary. Our employee will take the necessary steps in individual cases.

e) Right to restriction of processing

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator of directives and regulations to require the controller to restrict the 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 and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests the restriction of their use instead.
The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.
The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.

If one of the aforementioned conditions is met, and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of the processing of personal data stored by us, he or she may at any time contact any employee of the controller. The employee will arrange for the processing to be restricted.

f) Right to data portability

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right, granted by the European legislator, to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which he or she has provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format.

Furthermore, in exercising his or her right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20 (1) GDPR, the data subject shall have the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and when doing so does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others. In order to assert the right to data portability, the data subject may at any time contact any employee of us using the contact details provided above.

g) Right to object

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to object, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her which is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

In the event of an objection, we will no longer process the personal data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and freedoms of the data subject or for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims.

If we process personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her for such marketing. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is associated with such direct advertising. If the data subject objects to us to the processing for direct marketing purposes, we will no longer process the personal data for these purposes.

In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, to object to processing of personal data concerning him or her by us for scientific or historical research purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) of the GDPR, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.

To exercise the right to object, the data subject can contact one of our employees directly. The data subject is also free, in the context of the use of information society services, and notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to exercise his or her right to object by automated means using technical specifications.

h) Automated decisions in individual cases including profiling

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator of directives and regulations not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her or similarly significantly affects him or her, provided that the decision

(1) is not necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller, or

(2) is authorized 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 made with the express consent of the data subject.

If the decision

(1) is necessary for entering into, or performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or

(2) is made with the express consent of the data subject,

we shall implement suitable measures to safeguard the data subject's rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision.

If the data subject wishes to exercise the rights concerning automated individual decision-making, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller.

i) Right to withdraw consent under data protection law

15. Cookies

Our website uses cookies. Cookies are text files that are placed and stored on an information technology system (e.g. computer, notebook, smartphone, tablet) 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 of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters that can be used to assign websites and servers 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 data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.

Through the use of cookies, we can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.

By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized for the benefit of the user. As already mentioned, cookies enable us to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to check the cookie banner every time they visit the website and make a selection here or, for example, re-enter their access data on the website because this is taken over by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping basket in an online store. The online store can use a cookie to remember the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of 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.

16. Content consent tool

In order to be able to obtain the aforementioned cookies and your consent to them and also for any third-party connections (see following section), we use a cookie consent tool, which is also known as “cookie banner” or (more correctly) “consent banner”.

17. deployment and use of other applications, plugins and tools

As you know it from our entire offer: We want to offer you the best possible service. We have therefore integrated various applications, plug-ins and tools (in future: “tools”) on our website. Depending on their function, these can, for example, optimize the loading times of our website, simplify its use, support us in improving our offer or increase security.

The specific details of the tools used are explained below.

Data protection provisions about the application and use of Google reCAPTCHA

We have integrated the Google reCAPTCHA tool from Google Inc. The operating company of Google reCAPTCHA is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA. For the European area, the company Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland, is responsible for all Google services, whereby joint responsibility is to be assumed.

Google reCAPTCHA offers us the opportunity to protect ourselves from spam and thus ensure that we are not flooded with unsolicited information. In contrast to other captcha tools, where you still had to solve puzzles, with Google reCAPTCHA all you have to do is set a hook to confirm that you are not a bot.

Google reCAPTCHA collects personal data from users so that it can determine whether the actions on our website actually originate from a person. Examples of data that are collected include IP addresses, information about the operating system, the screen resolution and cookies that provide information about actions with your mouse and keyboard. We only process personal data for as long as is necessary. As soon as the purpose of the data processing has been fulfilled, the data is blocked and deleted in accordance with the standards of the deletion concept here, unless legal regulations prevent deletion. If a cookie is set for you, it will be automatically deleted after the storage period has expired, unless you have already deleted it yourself before this period expires.

Purposes of the processing

We use this tool to protect ourselves from spam software and bots. Google reCAPTCHA is a good choice here, as we believe it offers excellent user-friendliness for you and at the same time fulfills its function very well.

Legal basis

We require your consent to use the tool, which is the legal basis according to § 25 para. 1 TTDSG and Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) (consent). We obtain this consent through our consent tool described above and document this.

We also have a legitimate interest in optimizing our online service, making it more secure and averting any damage to our company and refer to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) (legitimate interest). Nevertheless, we only use this tool if you have given us your consent to do so.

You can find more information on the handling of user data in Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.

Google's terms of use can be viewed at https://policies.google.com/terms?hl=de&gl=de eingesehen werden.

Possibility to object

In principle, you always have the option to manage the setting, management and deletion of cookies in your browser freely according to your wishes and knowledge. For example, if you do not want this tool to set cookies and collect information about you and possibly your behavior, you can deactivate the general setting of cookies in your browser settings at any time. In individual cases, however, this may mean that various functions (such as shopping baskets) on the websites you visit may no longer work even if you want them to.

Data protection provisions about the application and use of Google Fonts

We have integrated the Google Fonts service on our website. The operating company of Google Fonts is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA. For the European area, the company Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland, is responsible for all Google services, whereby a joint responsibility is to be assumed.

Google Fonts is a directory that Google offers its users over 800 fonts free of charge. When using Google Fonts, no cookies are stored in your browser, but the data is loaded via the Google domains fonts.gstatic.com and fonts.googleapis.com. Since GoogleFonts is loaded from outside, the fonts are transmitted via the Google servers when you visit our website. This involves an exchange of data so that Google receives information such as your IP address, the version of your browser and the name of your browser. We only process personal data for as long as is necessary. As soon as the purpose of the data processing has been fulfilled, the data is blocked and deleted in accordance with the standards of the deletion concept here, unless legal regulations prevent deletion. If a cookie is set for you, it will be automatically deleted after the storage period has expired if you have not already deleted it yourself before this period expires.

Purposes of the processing

The purpose of Google Fonts is to optimize our online service and to ensure that our website can be accessed securely. This is because Google Fonts save us data volume, which has the advantage that our website can be loaded more quickly. In addition, Google Fonts are secure web fonts that also work reliably with common browsers and operating systems.

Legal basis

We also have a legitimate interest in optimizing our online service and refer to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f) (legitimate interest). With the help of the tool, we may also recognize errors on the website and can improve its efficiency. Nevertheless, we only use this tool if you have given us your consent to do so.

You can find more information on the handling of user data in Google's privacy policy: https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=de.
