Privacy Statement

We do not require any personal or personally identifiable data from you simply to visit our website. Nevertheless, your internet browser sends data to our web server due to the technical necessity of accessing web pages, some of which is also recorded on the basis of technical necessity (server logs).

This data generally contains the following information:

• Web browser used, including browser version and operating system used
• Type of device you are using (desktop computer/smartphone/tablet/etc.)
• Size and color of your monitor/display

• The IP address assigned to you by your Internet service provider

In accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f EU-GDPR, this data is stored by us for reasons of technical security, to defend against cyber attacks on our servers and to protect your personal data and that of other visitors. By shortening the IP addresses after seven calendar days at the latest, this data is then automatically anonymized by our backend and stored indefinitely for statistical evaluation. A personal reference based on this data can then no longer be established.

Furthermore, you will be given the opportunity to transmit personal data to us both via our website and via other communication channels. In some cases, this data collection is also required by law and the legal storage obligations are clearly defined. We would like to inform you about the use of your data and the legal basis in the following articles.

The basis for the extended collection of your personal data is the currently applicable legal provisions. For all cases in which we are not legally obliged to collect your personal data and store it for clearly defined periods of time, we will request your personal consent.

• the data is required in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b EU GDPR for the fulfillment of a contract / pre-contractual measures,

The personal data we collect about you will be treated confidentially. In our company, we only grant access to your personal data to authorized persons and contractually authorized service providers.

We will only pass on your data to third parties within the framework of the statutory provisions or with your corresponding consent, unless we are obliged to do so on the basis of mandatory legal provisions.

You will find various contact forms on our website that you can use to contact us electronically. If you use these forms for data transfer, you thereby grant us permission to contact you using the contact details you have provided and to process/answer your concerns, questions and requests. When designing those forms, we will only request and process the personal data from you that we absolutely need to contact you and process your concerns and requests in the interests of data economy and data avoidance. For technical necessity and for legal protection, we will also process your IP address when collecting this data. If these forms contain other fields that can be filled in on a voluntary basis, by sending the forms you give us permission to process this data too and to store it within the statutory time limits.

If, while entering your data in the forms provided by us for this purpose, you decide not to send the form to us after all, the data you have entered up to that point will not be processed any further. There is also no server side tracking of this abandonment (conversiontracking, bounces) for statistical evaluation.

Legal ­basis Art. 6 para. 1 lit. ff EU-GDPR

We use cookies on our website at pslzme.com. Cookies are text files with a low data volume that are generated when you visit our website and stored locally on your end device. We need these cookies to improve the user friendliness of our website, to store your preferences, such as your language selection, and to increase the security of our website. Cookies are automatically generated by our server when you visit our website and saved locally on your data storage by your browser. Your browser can then access these as required and change their content.

We primarily use so-called session cookies on our website, which are normally automatically deleted by your browser after your visit as soon as their period of validity - usually six months - is exceeded. However, you can also delete these cookies yourself at any time. This can be done either via the security settings of your browser or manually by deleting these files from the corresponding folders in your file system.

Internet browsers are normally set to automatically accept cookies after the installation process. You can of course change this preselection at any time, restrict the use of cookies or switch them off completely.

Please note, however, that if you delete our cookies or reject their use by means of our cookie banner, you will no longer be able to visit our internet pages to their full extent and only with restrictions on user friendliness.

We take the security of your personal data very seriously and therefore only use security mechanisms of the highest quality when operating our web and mail servers. Our security measures are developed by security experts according to the current state of the art, reviewed at regular intervals and adapted to new standards and trends.

The exchange of your personal data to and from our web server and to and from our mail servers is encrypted to protect against data loss and data theft. For our web and mail server, we have opted for a TLS certificate with PKCS #1 SHA-256 and RSA encryption algorithm at domain level, which can be classified as secure. You can check this certificate and its validity at any time via your web browser. An automatic check is carried out by most web browsers each time a page is called up and successful encryption is usually indicated by a green closed padlock in the URL bar. We use this TLS encryption both in the front end (visitor display) and in the back end (administration interface) of our web server in order to prevent data loss and data theft during the administration and content maintenance of our website.

Alternatively, of course, you always have the option of not exchanging data with us in digital form and choosing analog communication channels (e.g. sending data and information by post).

We store your personal data without your individual consent exclusively for the period required to achieve the respective processing purpose or as stipulated by statutory retention periods. Your personal data will only be transferred to third parties if this is required by law or if this is necessary to fulfill your request or order within the scope of the respective processing purpose. If an exchange of data should be necessary within the scope of these requirements, this exchange will always take place in compliance with the legal requirements and obligations with the highest possible level of security and taking into account the principle of data minimization and data avoidance only with the data actually required for the processing procedure.

Examples of unavoidable data transfer to third parties:

• State authorities and institutions (such as the tax office)
• External data protection officers (generally only with a contractually secured data protection clause)
• External quality management officers (generally only with a contractually secured data protection clause)
• External environmental management officers (generally only with a contractually secured data protection clause)
• Companies that carry out credit checks
• Banks, savings banks and credit institutions
• Shipping service providers, suppliers, payment services
• Other business units in the group of companies
• Service providers within the scope of order processing (generally only with a contractually secured data protection clause)
• Internal and external specialist departments

We only use local analysis tools to ensure the greatest possible protection of your personal data (Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU GDPR). We do not share your data with external service providers for statistical analysis. We currently use the Matomo on-premise solution installed locally on our web server with anonymized IP addresses (1-bit anonymization). You can deactivate this tracking manually at any time using the following option or generally set your browser to prevent automatic tracking ("Do Not Track" option).

You have the option of preventing the actions you take here from being analyzed and linked. This will protect your privacy, but will also prevent the owner from learning from your actions and improving usability for you and other users.

To protect your personal data, we have deliberately refrained from using other external, mostly cloud-based tracking tools such as those offered by Google Ireland Limited or other well-known providers. Your personal data is not transferred outside our company or even outside the EU.

Our website uses plugins from the YouTube site operated by Google. The operator of the pages is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave, San Bruno, CA 94066, USA on the basis of your consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU-GDPR. We use the no-cookie domain provided by Google for this purpose. When you visit one of our pages equipped with a YouTube plugin, a connection to the YouTube servers is established. This tells the YouTube server which of our pages you have visited. If you are logged into your YouTube account, you enable YouTube to assign your surfing behavior directly to your personal profile, even with the no-cookie variant we use. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account. Further information on the handling of user data can be found in YouTube's privacy policy at (https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy).

To protect personal data, we do not use the tracking tool Google Analytics, a web analysis service of Google LLC ("Google").

Google is certified under the Privacy Shield Agreement and thus offers a guarantee of compliance with European data protection law (https://www.privacyshield.gov/participant?id=a2zt000000001L5AAI&status=Active).

Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate the access to our videos by the users, to compile reports on the activities within this online offer and to provide us with further services associated with the use of this online offer and the use of the Internet, insofar as this is possible through the data-reduced use of the no-cookie integration used by us. Pseudonymous user profiles can be created from the processed data.

There is no data comparison with the Matomo analysis program used by us as an on-premise solution exclusively on our own servers and using anonymized IP addresses. Further information on this can be found in the "User profiles / web tracking procedures" section of this privacy policy.

The IP address transmitted by the user's browser will not be merged with other Google data. Users can prevent the storage of cookies by setting their browser software accordingly; users can also prevent the collection of data generated by the cookie and related to their use of the online offer to Google and the processing of this data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plugin available at the following link: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout.

You can find further information on data use by Google, setting and objection options on the Google websites: www.google.com/intl/de/policies/privacy/partners ("Data use by Google when you use our partners' websites or apps"), www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads ("Data use for advertising purposes"), www.google.de/settings/ads ("Manage information that Google uses to show you advertising").

In order to protect your personal data as effectively as possible, we do not use any form of social network plug-ins on our website. We do not exchange your data with external service providers for statistical analysis. If you would like to follow our social media accounts, you will find simple links to these external accounts at the bottom of all our pages. After clicking on these links, our user­profile will usually open directly in the respective network and you are then free to follow it via your own account in the same network. Of course, we welcome any contact and any networking with you outside of our own website in the social networks. However, the use of these networks is subject to the respective underlying and published terms of use and data protection declarations of the operators.

If our website contains links to the websites of other companies, e-mail addresses or telephone numbers, these are marked as such. You can also check each link before clicking on it by positioning the pointer of your mouse (desktop­computer/laptop) or your finger or stylus (mobile devices/touchscreen/touchpad) over the link or by holding the link longer instead of clicking on it (hover behavior).

We would like to point out that we have no influence on the content of linked external websites and cannot assume any guarantee or liability for this content. The provider and operator of these linked pages is responsible for their content and data security. All external sites linked to our website were checked and evaluated by us for possible legal violations, illegal content and data security within the scope of our possibilities before linking. These links are only added to our website after a positive evaluation. However, we cannot reasonably be expected to permanently monitor and check the content of the linked pages. However, we remove such external links as soon as we become aware of legal violations and breaches of data protection law. If you become aware of any such infringements, please send this information to privacy@alexanderdort.com.

This website does not use any external font libraries (fonts) for the greatest possible protection of your personal data. All the fonts we use are installed on the server. There is no exchange with web font providers such as Google, Adobe, etc. or external servers.

Based on the statutory requirements, you have the right to free information about the use and content of the personal data we have stored about you. Furthermore, you have the right to rectification, restriction of data collection and data processing and erasure of your data, provided that this does not conflict with any statutory retention periods.

Based on the current legal situation, you also have the right to a general objection to data processing, the right to data portability or to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority for data protection.

You can of course revoke any consent you have given us to process your data at any time without giving reasons for the future after you have asserted this right.

If we process your data to protect legitimate interests, you can object to this processing at any time for personal reasons. Unless there are demonstrably compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, the processing is required by law or the processing serves the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims, we will then no longer process your data in the future after receipt of the objection and completion of the review of the legal claim.
