Privacy policy

Basic

This pri­vacy policy is inten­ded to inform the users of this web­site about the nature, scope, and pur­pose of the col­lec­tion, and use of per­son­al data by the web­site oper­at­or Peer­ox GmbH, rep­res­en­ted by the man­aging dir­ect­ors Andre Schult and Markus Windisch.

The web­site oper­at­or takes your pri­vacy very ser­i­ously and treats your per­son­al data con­fid­en­tially and in an accord­ance with the stat­utory pro­vi­sions. Since new tech­no­lo­gies and the con­stant fur­ther devel­op­ment of this web­site may res­ult in changes to this data pro­tec­tion declar­a­tion, we recom­mend that you read through the data pro­tec­tion declar­a­tion again at reg­u­lar intervals.

Defin­i­tions of the terms used (e.g. “per­son­al data” or “pro­cessing”) can be found in Art. 4 GDPR.

Access data

We, the web­site oper­at­or or page pro­vider, col­lect data about accesses to the web­site based on our legit­im­ate interest (see Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO) and store them as “serv­er log files” on the web­site serv­er. The fol­low­ing data is logged in this way:

  •       Web­sites visited
  •       Time at the moment of access
  •       Amount of data sent in bytes
  •       Source/reference from which the page was reached
  •       Browser used
  •       Oper­at­ing sys­tem used
  •       IP address used (in anonym­ized form – last address part is replaced by a ran­dom value).

The serv­er log files are stored for a max­im­um of six months and then deleted. The data is stored for secur­ity reas­ons, e.g. to be able to cla­ri­fy cases of abuse. If data must be retained for evid­en­tiary reas­ons, it is exempt from dele­tion until the incid­ent has been cla­ri­fied and concluded.

Collection and processing of personal data

The web­site oper­at­or col­lects, uses, and dis­closes your per­son­al data only if this is per­mit­ted by law or if you con­sent to the col­lec­tion of data.

Per­son­al data is any inform­a­tion that can be used to identi­fy you and that can be traced back to you – for example, your name, email address, and tele­phone number.

You can also vis­it this web­site without provid­ing any per­son­al inform­a­tion. How­ever, in order to improve our online offer, we store (without per­son­al ref­er­ence) your access data to this web­site. This access data includes, for example, the file you reques­ted or the name of your Inter­net pro­vider. By anonym­iz­ing the data, it is not pos­sible to draw con­clu­sions about your person.

Handling contact data

If you con­tact us as the web­site oper­at­or via the con­tact options offered, your details will be stored so that we can use them to pro­cess and respond to your inquiry.

This data will not be passed on to third parties without your con­sent. Excluded from this is the pro­cessing and stor­age by the IT ser­vice pro­vider Het­zn­er Online GmbH com­mis­sioned by us.

Dealing with comments and contributions

If you leave a post or com­ment on this web­site, your IP address will be stored. This pro­tects our legit­im­ate interests accord­ing to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO, and our secur­ity as web­site oper­at­or. If your com­ments viol­ate applic­able law, we can be pro­sec­uted for them; there­fore, we have an interest in the iden­tity of the com­ment or post author.

Email contact

As soon as you call up the email address of one of our con­tacts for the pur­pose of con­tact­ing us, you auto­mat­ic­ally leave our web­site. The pro­vi­sion of per­son­al data in the email to the respect­ive con­tact per­son takes place on a vol­un­tary basis.

Use of social media plugins

Due to our legit­im­ate interest in the ana­lys­is, optim­iz­a­tion, and oper­a­tion of our online offer (accord­ing to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f. DSGVO), this web­site uses social plugins.

Rights of the user

As a user, you have the right to request free inform­a­tion about what per­son­al data has been stored about you. You also have the right to rec­ti­fic­a­tion of incor­rect data and to restric­tion of pro­cessing or dele­tion of your per­son­al data. If applic­able, you may also exer­cise your right to data port­ab­il­ity. If you believe that your data has been pro­cessed unlaw­fully, you may lodge a com­plaint with the com­pet­ent super­vis­ory authority.

Deletion of data

Unless your request con­flicts with a leg­al oblig­a­tion to retain data (e.g. data reten­tion), you have a right to have your data deleted. Data stored by us will be deleted if it is no longer required for its inten­ded pur­pose and there are no leg­al reten­tion peri­ods. If dele­tion can­not be car­ried out because the data is required for per­miss­ible leg­al pur­poses, data pro­cessing will be restric­ted. In this case, the data will be blocked and not pro­cessed for oth­er purposes.

Right of objection

Users of this web­site may exer­cise their right to object to the pro­cessing of their per­son­al data at any time.
