Privacy
statement.

Name and address of the 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 with a data protection character is:

How we handle personal data.

We are pleased that you are interested in our company. Data protection has high priority for the management of GlobalCom PR Network GmbH. In principle, the use of our website is possible without providing any personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use specific services we offer through this website, processing of personal data may become necessary. If such processing has no statutory basis, we will generally request the data subject’s consent.

The processing of personal data — for example, name, address, email address or telephone number — is always carried out in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and in accordance with the country-specific data protection rules that apply to GlobalCom PR Network GmbH. With this privacy statement, we wish to inform the public about the nature, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process, and to inform data subjects of the rights to which they are entitled.

As the controller, GlobalCom PR Network GmbH has implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure the most complete protection possible of personal data processed via this website. Internet-based data transmissions can, however, have security gaps in principle, so 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.

Definitions.

This privacy statement uses the terminology of the European legislator in the GDPR. To make our notice easy to read and understand, we explain the key terms in advance.

General data and information collected.

Each time the website is accessed by a data subject or by an automated system, our website collects a series of general data and information. This data is stored in the server’s log files. Collected may be:

• the browser types and versions used,
• the operating system used by the accessing system,
• the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrer),
• the sub-pages accessed via an accessing system on our website,
• the date and time of access to the website,
• an Internet Protocol (IP) address,
• the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and
• other similar data and information used to defend against attacks on our information technology systems.

When using these general data and information, GlobalCom PR Network GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2) optimise the content of our website and the advertising for it, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for prosecution in case of a cyber-attack.

This anonymously collected data and information is therefore evaluated statistically with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company, and ultimately ensuring an optimum level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files is stored separately from any personal data provided by a data subject.

Routine deletion and blocking.

The controller processes and stores the personal data of the data subject only for the period required 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.

If the storage purpose ceases to apply, 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 statutory provisions.

Your rights as a data subject.

To exercise any of the rights below, please contact us at info@gcpr.net. We will respond without undue delay.

Third-party components and services.

Where this website integrates components or services from third parties, the operators listed below may collect and process data when those components are loaded. You can prevent most of these transmissions by logging out of the relevant service before visiting our website, or by configuring your browser accordingly.

Legal basis for processing.

Art. 6 (1) (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 you are party — as is the case, for example, with processing operations necessary for the delivery of services or the provision of any other consideration — the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR. The same applies to processing operations necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of enquiries about our services.

Where processing is required to comply with a legal obligation to which our company is subject — for example, the fulfilment of tax obligations — the processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (c) GDPR.

In rare cases, processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person; in such cases, processing is based on Art. 6 (1) (d) GDPR.

Finally, processing operations may be based on Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR. This legal basis covers processing operations not covered by the above — where processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject.

Duration of storage.

The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of that period, the data is routinely erased, provided it is no longer required for the performance or initiation of a contract.

Provision of personal data.

We clarify that the provision of personal data is in part required by law (for example, by tax regulations) or may also result from contractual arrangements (for example, information about the contract partner). Sometimes it may be necessary, for the conclusion of a contract, that a data subject provides us with personal data, which we must subsequently process.

Failure to provide personal data may have the consequence that a contract with the data subject cannot be concluded. Before personal data is provided, the data subject can contact any of our employees, who will clarify on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of the data is required by law or by contract or is necessary for the conclusion of a contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the data and what the consequences would be of not providing it.

Automated decision-making.

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