Data transfer to third countries

Data transfer to third coutnries

In some cases, we transfer personal data to a third country outside the EU. In each case, we have ensured an appropriate level of data protection.

In the case of Google Analytics (USA), an adequate level of data protection follows from the corresponding participation in the Privacy Shield agreement (Art. 45 (1) DSGVO).

Cookies

We use cookies on our websites. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your terminal device and can be read. A distinction is made between session cookies, which are deleted as soon as you close your browser, and permanent cookies, which are stored beyond the individual session. Cookies can contain data that make it possible to recognize the device used. In some cases, however, cookies only contain information about certain settings that cannot be related to a specific person. We use session cookies and permanent cookies on our websites. The processing is based on Art. 6 para. 1 p.1 lit. f DSGVO and in the interest of optimizing or enabling user guidance and adapting the presentation of our websites.

You can set your browser to inform you about the placement of cookies. This makes the use of cookies transparent for you. You can also delete cookies at any time via the appropriate browser setting and prevent the setting of new cookies. Please note that our web pages may then not be displayed optimally and some functions may no longer be technically available.

Twitter company page

We operate an official Twitter page under the URL https://twitter.com/actipros on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. f DSGVO. We do not collect, store or process any personal data of our users on this page at any time. Furthermore, no other data processing is carried out or initiated by us. The data you enter on our Twitter page, such as comments, videos or images, are not used or processed by us for any other purpose at any time.

Twitter uses so-called web tracking methods on this page. Please be aware of this: it cannot be ruled out that Twitter uses your profile data, for example to evaluate your habits, personal relationships, preferences, etc.. We have no influence on the processing of your data by Twitter.

Data security

In order to protect your data from unwanted access as comprehensively as possible, we take technical and organizational measures. We use an encryption procedure on our pages. Your data is transferred from your computer to our server and vice versa via the Internet using TLS encryption. You can recognize this by the fact that the lock symbol in the status bar of your browser is closed and the address line begins with https://.

Registration funtion

Users can optionally create a user account. As part of the registration process, users are provided with the required mandatory information. The data entered as part of the registration process is used for the purposes of using the service.

As part of the use of our registration and login functions and the use of the user account, we store the IP address and the time of the respective user action. The storage is based on our legitimate interests as well as to protect against misuse and other unauthorized use. In principle, this data is not passed on to third parties unless it is necessary for the pursuit of our claims or there is a legal obligation to do so pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c DSGVO. The IP addresses are anonymized or deleted after 7 days at the latest.

Your rights as a user

When processing your personal data, the DSGVO grants you as a website user certain rights:

2. Right to rectification and erasure (Art. 16 and 17 DSGVO):
You have the right to request without undue delay the rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning you and, where applicable, the completion of incomplete personal data.

You also have the right to request that personal data concerning you be deleted without undue delay, provided that one of the reasons listed in detail in Art. 17 DSGVO applies, e.g. if the data is no longer required for the purposes pursued.

3. Right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 DSGVO):
You have the right to request the restriction of processing if one of the conditions listed in Art. 18 DSGVO applies, e.g. if you have objected to the processing for the duration of any review.
