We, Compeso GmbH, are responsible for the collection, processing, and storage of your personal data. You can find detailed information about our company at any time in our legal notice.
The careful handling of your personal data is our highest priority. We comply with all applicable legal requirements when processing your data, including the german General Data Protection Regulation (Datenschutz-Grundverordnung DSGVO) and the corresponding national provisions.
This privacy policy applies to all websites operated under our domains (compeso.com, comtrada.de) that are accessible to the public.
As we aim to provide you with a comprehensive overview of how personal data is processed within our company, you will find below a summary of all our services through which we collect and process personal data.
If specific or additional terms apply to individual services, or if we require your consent, we will inform you separately before you use the respective service.
Furthermore, we implement a variety of security measures to protect your personal data. For example, the transmission of data between your web browser and our servers is generally encrypted. In addition, we maintain a wide range of technical and organizational measures to ensure the ongoing protection of your data.

2. Why We Process Your Data

You can generally use our website without disclosing your identity. If you choose to register for one of our personalized services or contact us, we will ask you for your name and other personal information. Providing this (additional) data is entirely voluntary. Data that we require in order to provide our services is clearly marked as mandatory.
The collection and processing of your personal data takes place for the following purposes based on the following legal grounds:

Contract initiation pursuant to Article 6(1)(a) and (b) of the german DSGVO
Contract processing pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) of the german DSGVO

3. Data We Collect

We collect different categories of personal data from you. Personal data refers to any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person; a natural person is considered identifiable if they can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name. Examples of personal data include information such as your name, address, phone number, and date of birth (if provided).
Statistical information that cannot be directly or indirectly linked to you — such as the popularity of individual pages on our website or the number of users on a page — does not constitute personal data.
There are data collected directly and indirectly. In both cases, data is collected only to the extent necessary; the data is processed exclusively for the purposes outlined in Section 2.
Whether you choose to provide us with data that may optimize your use of our services but is not strictly necessary is entirely up to you. Corresponding data fields are marked as ‘optional.’
The directly collected data includes:

Salutation, title and name, for example, to personalize your contact request
Email address and, if applicable, a password you have chosen, for example, to contact us via our contact form
Adressdaten, bspw. zum Zwecke Angebotsübersendung in gedruckter Form
Data that you actively and consciously provide to us when using our services, for example, information about the cash register system you use
Additional data that you voluntarily provide to us, for example, data fields marked as ‘optional’ that you have filled out

In addition, data about you is indirectly collected when you use our services:

Technical connection data, for example, the webpage of our website you accessed
Your IP address, truncated by the last three digits
Date and time when the website was accessed
Device used
Data collected through website tracking

Minors: Our website is not intended for minors, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from minors. If individuals under the age of 16 provide personal data to us, this is only permitted if a parent or guardian has given consent or has agreed to the minor’s consent.
According to Article 8(2) of the german DSGVO, we must be provided with the contact details of the parent or guardian to verify their consent. These data, along with the minor’s data, will then be processed in accordance with this privacy policy.
If we become aware that a minor under the age of 16 has sent us personal data without the consent of a parent or guardian or without such consent being granted, we will delete the data immediately.

4. Who has access to your data and to whom we transfer your data

a) Access

Access to your personal data stored with us is limited to our employees and the service providers we commission, who need to handle this personal data in accordance with their responsibilities. If third parties gain access to your data, we have either obtained your permission or there is a legal basis for this.
We also use service providers to deliver services and process your data (including hosting and video delivery). Where special conditions apply to these services, we have outlined them below under the respective service.
These service providers process the data exclusively on our instructions and are obligated to comply with applicable data protection regulations. All processors have been carefully selected and are granted access to your data only to the extent and for the duration necessary to provide the services, or to the extent you have consented to the processing and use of your data.

b) Data sharing within the corporate group

Data sharing within the corporate group to which we belong takes place exclusively within the EU/EEA and serves internal administrative purposes only.
By corporate group, we mean affiliated companies as defined in Article 4(19) of the german DSGVO.

c) Transfer to third countries and legal basis

Some of the service providers we use have servers located in the United States and other countries outside the European Union. Companies in these countries are subject to data protection laws that generally do not offer the same level of protection for personal data as is provided within the EU member states.
If your data is processed in a country that does not have an adequate level of data protection comparable to that of the European Union, we ensure, through contractual agreements or other recognized instruments, that your personal data is adequately protected.
We will explicitly inform you of this within the context of the individual services.
Where personal data is transferred to third countries, this transfer is based on the EU Standard Contractual Clauses 2010 pursuant to Article 46(2)(c) of the german DSGVO in conjunction with the European Commission’s Decision of 05.02.2010 (2010/87/EU), or on your consent pursuant to Article 49(1)(a) of the german DSGVO.

d) Transfer to law enforcement and criminal investigation authorities

In exceptional cases, we transfer personal data to law enforcement and criminal investigation authorities. This is done based on corresponding legal obligations, such as those arising from the Code of Criminal Procedure, the Fiscal Code, the Money Laundering Act, or state police laws.

5. Data retention periods

We store personal data in accordance with legal requirements or your consent. To determine the specific retention period, we consider the following criteria:

Legal retention obligations, for example according to the Fiscal Code (german AO) and the german Commercial Code (HGB)
Existence of consent, for example your approval or its withdrawal
Contractual retention obligations
Existence of a contractual relationship, for example, the date of your last activity if there is no continuing obligation
Elimination of the purpose for data collection and storage
Technological and forensic requirements, for example, for the prevention and investigation of attacks

6. Your Rights

You are entitled to a range of legal rights, which we would like to inform you about below. In addition, our Data Protection Officer is available to assist you with any questions regarding the personal data we collect and process about you. You can reach them at: datenschutz@compeso.com.

At your request, we will also transfer the data directly to a recipient of your choosing.
Furthermore, under Articles 16 to 18 of the german DSGVO, you have the right to request the rectification, restriction (blocking), or erasure of your personal data if the data has been processed incorrectly, if there are grounds for restricting further processing, if the processing has become unlawful for various reasons, or if its continued storage is otherwise legally impermissible.
Please note that your right to erasure may be limited by statutory retention obligations.
If our data processing is based solely on our legitimate interests pursuant to Article 6(1)(f) of the german DSGVO, you may object to such processing at any time in accordance with Article 21(1) of the german DSGVO. In that case, we will cease processing your data unless we can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds that override your interests, rights, and freedoms, or if the processing serves the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims.
If you have given us consent to process your personal data, you have the right to withdraw that consent at any time with future effect pursuant to Article 7(3) of the german DSGVO.
Finally, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority if you believe that the processing of your personal data violates the European General Data Protection Regulation or any other national or international data protection laws.

If personal data are processed for the purpose of direct marketing, data subjects have the right to object to such processing at any time with effect for the future (Article 21(2) of the german DSGVO). Where the processing is based on the consent of the data subject pursuant to Article 6(1)(a), Article 9(2)(a) of the german DSGVO, or on a contract with the data subject pursuant to Article 6(1)(b) of the german DSGVO, and the processing is carried out by automated means, data subjects may request, under Article 20(1) of the german DSGVO, to receive their personal data in a structured, commonly used, and machine-readable format, or to have that data transmitted directly to a third party designated by the data subject. As a rule, data subjects have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning them or similarly significantly affects them (Article 22(1) of the german DSGVO).
