General Information

Scope

This privacy statement provides users with information on the nature, extent and purpose of the collection and use of their data by the responsible provider.

Data economy

We save personal data, according to the principles of data avoidance and data economy, only as long as it is required or prescribed by law (statutory storage period). If the purpose of the information collected ceases to be relevant or the storage period expires, the data is blocked or deleted.

Your rights

In principle, you have the rights to information, correction, deletion, restriction, data portability, revocation and objection (see European General Data Protection Regulation article 12-23). Exceptions: if the issue relates to the prescribed data storage for business processing or if the data is subject to statutory retention requirements. You have the right to obtain information about the origin, recipient and purpose of your stored personal data free of charge at any time. For this and other questions on the subject of data protection, you can contact us at any time at the address given above. Furthermore, you have the right to lodge a complaint with the responsible supervisory authority.

Changes to our data protection policy

In order to ensure that our data protection policy always complies with the current legal requirements, we reserve the right to make changes at any time. This also applies in the event that the data protection policy has to be adapted due to new or revised activities, for example new services. The new data protection policy takes effect on your next visit.

Specific Information

Website

Every time information about the services offered by PentServ is accessed, company information and current contributions to the subject of information security, information (also referred to as server log files) is automatically collected by us or the webspace provider. Among other information this includes: website name, file, date, data volume, web browser and web browser version, operating system, the domain name of your Internet provider, the referrer URL (the page from which you accessed our offer) and the IP address. Without this information, it would not be technically possible to deliver and display the website content. In this respect, collecting data is absolutely necessary. Furthermore, we use this information for statistical purposes. They help us to optimise our services and technology. We also reserve the right to check the log files in case of suspected illegal use of our services. PentServ does not track its customers over time and across third party websites to provide targeted advertising and therefore does not respond to Do Not Track (DNT) signals. No techniques are used to circumvent the effectiveness of anonymization software.

Google Maps

This site uses the map service Google Maps via an API. The provider is Google Inc, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. To use the functions of Google Maps, it is necessary to store your IP address. This information is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this site has no influence on this data transmission. If Google Maps is activated, Google may use Google Web Fonts for the purpose of uniform display of fonts. When you call up Google Maps, your browser loads the required web fonts into your browser cache in order to display texts and fonts correctly. The use of Google Maps is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online presence and an easy location of the places indicated by us on the website. This represents a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. More information on the handling of user data can be found in Google's privacy policy: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

Google Fonts

On our website and to complement our online offerings, we use the third-party service Google Fonts. We do this on the basis of our legitimate interests (Art 6 para 1 lit f DSGVO), e.g. our interest in the optimization and economic operation of our online offers. This service requires that the IP address of the website visitor is perceived. Without the IP address, the related content could not be sent to their browser. The provider is Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. Their privacy policy can be found here: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/.
