Purpose and legal basis of data processing
When you use this website, various personal data is collected. 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.
We would like to point out that data transmission over the Internet (e.g. when communicating by e-mail) may be subject to security vulnerabilities. It is not possible to completely protect data from access by third parties. Your data is collected when you provide it to us. This may be data that you enter in a contact form, for example.
Other data is automatically collected by our IT systems when you visit the website. This is primarily technical data (e.g., Internet browser, operating system, or time of page view). This data is collected automatically as soon as you enter our website.
Some of the data is collected to ensure that the website functions correctly. Other data may be used to analyze your user behavior.
Analysis tools and third-party tools
When you visit our website, your surfing behavior may be statistically evaluated. This is mainly done using cookies and so-called analysis programs. The analysis of your surfing behavior is usually anonymous;
the surfing behavior cannot be traced back to you. You can object to this analysis or prevent it by not using certain tools. For details, please refer to our privacy policy under the heading “Third-party modules and analysis tools.”
Processing based on legitimate interest
We process data on the basis of legitimate interest pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) GDPR for the purpose of ensuring the system security of the website and improving the website in terms of structure and content.
PCW GmbH will respond to requests from third parties to protect the legitimate interests of a third party if the third party demonstrates the existence of a legitimate interest and confirms that no interests of the data subject worthy of protection prevent this transfer.
Recipients of the data
Recipients of the data
The processed data is made available to recipients exclusively for specific purposes in accordance with the principle of minimization:
• Employees of PCW GmbH who are responsible for implementing the provision of the website.
• IT service providers for the operation, maintenance, and servicing of the website.
Processing of data in a third country
Data processing takes place exclusively in the member states of the European Union. There are no plans to transfer data to third countries. See also the section “Third-party modules and analysis tools.”
Duration of data storage
Log data from website use is stored on our server for a maximum of 90 days. See also the section “Third-party modules and analysis tools.”
Rights of the data subject
Every data subject has inalienable rights under
• Article 15 Right of access to data processing
• Article 16 Right to rectification of data
• Article 17 Right to erasure (“right to be forgotten”)
• Article 18 Right to restriction of processing
• Article 20 Right to data portability
• Article 21 Right to object

These rights can generally be exercised in writing, directly to the controller or by contacting the data protection officer.
Revocation of consent
Consent given for the processing of data may be revoked at any time with effect for the future. This does not affect the lawfulness of data processing until the revocation is received.
Right to lodge a complaint
Every data subject has the right to lodge a complaint regarding data processing with the data protection officer at PCW GmbH. The data protection officer must maintain confidentiality regarding the identity of the complainant vis-à-vis PCW GmbH.
In the event of violations of data protection law, the person concerned has the right to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority. The competent supervisory authority for data protection issues is the state data protection officer of the federal state in which our company is based.

Necessity of data processing
The provision of personal data is only necessary for the conclusion of a contract or the initiation of a contract. If data is not clearly marked as voluntary and processing is not based on consent, PCW GmbH will not be able to provide the intended service if data processing is refused.
All data marked as voluntary can be left blank without affecting the fulfillment of the contract.
There is no automated decision-making, including profiling.
Processing for another purpose
Further processing for another purpose beyond the fulfillment of the contract is carried out exclusively to comply with statutory storage and retention obligations.
SSL or TLS encryption
This site uses SSL or TLS encryption for security reasons and to protect the transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries that you send to us as the site operator. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the fact that the address line of the browser changes from “https://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.
When SSL or TLS encryption is activated, the data you transmit to us cannot be read by third parties.
Cookies
Some of the Internet pages use so-called cookies. Cookies do not harm your computer and do not contain viruses. Cookies serve to make our offer more user-friendly, effective, and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and saved by your browser.
Most of the cookies we use are so-called “session cookies.” They are automatically deleted at the end of your visit. Other cookies remain stored on your device until you delete them. These cookies enable us to recognize your browser the next time you visit. You can set your browser so that you are informed about the setting of cookies and only allow cookies in individual cases, exclude the acceptance of cookies for certain cases or in general, and activate the
automatic deletion of cookies when you close your browser. If you deactivate cookies, the functionality of this website may be restricted.
Cookies that are necessary for the electronic communication process or for the provision of certain functions requested by you (e.g., shopping cart function) are stored on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing cookies for the technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. Insofar as other cookies (e.g., cookies for analyzing your surfing behavior) are stored, these are dealt with separately in this privacy policy.

Server log files
Automatically transmitted to us by your browser. These are:
Contact form
If you send us inquiries via the contact form, your details from the inquiry form, including the contact details you provided there, will be stored by us for the purpose of processing the inquiry and in case of follow-up questions. We will not pass on this data without your consent. The data entered in the contact form is therefore processed exclusively on the basis of your consent (Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR). You can revoke this consent at any time. To do so, simply send us an informal email. The legality of the data processing operations carried out until the revocation remains unaffected by the revocation. The data you enter in the contact form will remain with us until you request us to delete it, revoke your consent to its storage, or the purpose for data storage no longer applies (e.g., after
your request has been processed). Mandatory legal provisions—in particular retention periods—remain unaffected.
