We have concluded a data processing agreement (DPA) for the use of the above-mentioned service. This is a contract required by data protection law, ensuring that it processes the personal data of our website visitors only according to our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.
The operators of this website take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and this privacy policy.
When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data by which you can be personally identified. This privacy policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this is done.
Please note that data transmission over the internet (e.g., communication by email) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data from access by third parties is not possible.
The controller responsible for data processing on this website is:
Alexander Da Silva Sebö
Kirchmeierstr. 20
93051 Regensburg
Phone: to follow
Email: info@psmda.de
The controller is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others decides on the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).
Unless a more specific storage period is stated in this privacy policy, your personal data remains with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., retention periods under tax or commercial law); in the latter case, deletion takes place after those reasons no longer apply.
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR if special categories of data under Art. 9(1) GDPR are processed. In the case of explicit consent to transfer personal data to third countries, processing is also based on Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your end device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), processing is additionally based on Section 25(1) TDDDG. Consent may be revoked at any time. If your data is required for contract performance or pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. We also process your data if this is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation on the basis of Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Data processing may also be based on our legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. The relevant legal basis in each individual case is explained in the following sections of this privacy policy.
Among other things, we use tools from companies based in third countries that are not considered safe under data protection law, and US tools whose providers are not certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these countries. Please note that in data protection-unsafe third countries, a level of data protection comparable to the EU cannot be guaranteed.
Please note that the USA is generally considered a safe third country with a level of data protection comparable to the EU. Data transfer to the USA is therefore permissible if the recipient has certification under the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (DPF) or has suitable additional safeguards. Information on transfers to third countries, including data recipients, can be found in this privacy policy.
As part of our business activities, we work with various external parties. In some cases, it is necessary to transfer personal data to these external parties. We only pass personal data to external parties if this is necessary for contract fulfillment, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g., transfer of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR, or if another legal basis permits data transfer. When using processors, we pass on personal data of our customers only on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may revoke consent already given at any time. The lawfulness of data processing carried out before revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.
IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THOSE PROVISIONS. THE RESPECTIVE LEGAL BASIS ON WHICH PROCESSING IS BASED CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, OR PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21(1) GDPR).
IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO THE PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL THEREAFTER NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21(2) GDPR).
In the event of GDPR violations, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged infringement. The right to lodge a complaint is without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, in a common, machine-readable format, and to have it handed over to yourself or a third party. If you request direct transfer of the data to another controller, this will only be done where technically feasible.
Within the framework of applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipient, and the purpose of data processing and, if applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data. You can contact us at any time regarding this and other questions on personal data.
You have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data. You can contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing exists in the following cases:
If you have restricted processing of your personal data, this data may – apart from storage – only be processed with your consent, or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or for protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for reasons of important public interest of the European Union or a Member State.
