General Information on the Legal Bases for Data Processing on this Website

If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data based on Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 (2) lit. a GDPR, provided that special categories of data according to Art. 9 (1) GDPR are processed. In the case of explicit consent to the transfer of personal data to third countries, data processing also takes place based on Art. 49 (1) lit. a GDPR. If you have consented to the storage of cookies or access to information on your end device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), data processing also takes place based on Art. 25 (1) TTDSG. Consent can be revoked at any time. If your data is required for contract fulfillment or for carrying out pre-contractual measures, we process your data based on Art. 6 (1) lit. b GDPR. Furthermore, we process your data, if required for the fulfillment of a legal obligation, based on Art. 6 (1) lit. c GDPR. Data processing may also take place based on our legitimate interest according to Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR. Information on the respective legal bases applicable in individual cases will be provided in the following paragraphs of this privacy policy.

Recipients of Personal Data

In the course of our business activities, we collaborate with various external entities. In some cases, the transmission of personal data to these external entities is necessary. We only transfer personal data to external entities if this is required for contract fulfillment, if we are legally obliged to do so (e.g., disclosure of data to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest in the transfer according to Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR, or if another legal basis permits the data transfer. When using processors, we only transfer our customers' personal data based on a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.

Data Retention Period

Unless a more specific storage period has been mentioned within this privacy policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing ceases to apply. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke consent for data processing, your data will be deleted, provided we have no other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial retention periods); in the latter case, deletion will occur after these reasons cease to exist.

Security of Personal Data

We attach great importance to the security of all personal data related to the app or its use. We have implemented security measures to prevent loss, misuse, and alteration of the data we store. Our security measures and privacy policy are regularly reviewed and, if necessary, updated and improved when appropriate. Only authorized employees have access to personal data. While we cannot assure or guarantee that loss, misuse, or alteration of user data will ever occur, we use all reasonable measures to prevent it.

We have taken additional, extensive precautions regarding the app and its use. Regardless, you should be aware that, despite any security measures, the exchange of information over the internet can never be completely secured. We cannot guarantee the security of data transmitted via the app while it is being transferred over the internet. Any such transmissions are at your own risk. We recommend responsible and cautious use of the internet and careful handling of personal data.

SSL or TLS Encryption

For security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries you send to us as the site operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the browser's address bar changing from http:// to https:// and by the lock symbol in your browser bar.

When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.

Access, Rectification, and Erasure

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 recipients, and the purpose of data processing, and, if applicable, a right to rectification or erasure of this data. For this and further questions on the topic of personal data, you can contact us at any time.

Right to Restriction of Processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the 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 dispute the accuracy of your personal data stored by us, we usually need time to verify this. For the duration of the review, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.
• If the processing of your personal data occurred/occurs unlawfully, you can request the restriction of data processing instead of deletion.
• If we no longer need your personal data, but you require it for the exercise, defense, or assertion of legal claims, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data instead of deletion.
• If you have lodged an objection pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR, a balancing of your interests and ours must be carried out. As long as it has not yet been determined whose interests prevail, you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

If you have restricted the processing of your personal data, these data - apart from their storage - may only be processed with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims or for the 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.

Right to Data Portability

You have the right to have data that we process automatically based on your consent or in fulfillment of a contract handed over to yourself or to a third party in a common, machine-readable format. If you request the direct transfer of data to another controller, this will only be done insofar as it is technically feasible.

Revocation of Your Consent to Data Processing

Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You can revoke consent already given at any time. The legality of the data processing carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation.

Right to Object to Data Collection in Special Cases and to Direct Marketing (Art. 21 GDPR)

IF DATA PROCESSING IS CARRIED OUT BASED ON ART. 6 (1) LIT. E OR F GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO THE PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THESE 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 THE PROCESSING WHICH OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS OR THE PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 (1) GDPR). IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, 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 SUBSEQUENTLY NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION PURSUANT TO ART. 21 (2) GDPR).

Right to Lodge a Complaint with the Competent Supervisory Authority

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, their place of work, or the place of the alleged infringement. The right to complain exists without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedies.

Information about Stored Data / Contact

You can object to the future use of personal data at any time and request a partial or complete blocking of the data. Depending on the type of request, personal data will be corrected, restricted, deleted, or information concerning it will be transmitted. No specific regulations need to be observed. You can reach us by email at support@politpro.eu.

After revoking permission for use or requesting the deletion of personal data, we will delete the personal data within a reasonable period, unless legal obligations prevent this request. In such a case, the collection and use of the data will not be continued.
