Privacy Policy

We are pleased about your interest in our company. The protection of personal data has a particularly high priority for the management of PeakSoft GmbH. In principle, the use of the Internet pages of PeakSoft GmbH is possible without any indication of personal data. However, if a data subject wishes to use special services of our company via our website, processing of personal data may become necessary. If processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

1. Definitions

  • Data subject: any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data are processed by the controller.
  • Processing: any operation performed on personal data (collection, recording, organization, storage, adaptation, retrieval, use, disclosure, erasure, etc.).
  • Restriction of processing: marking stored personal data with the aim of limiting their future processing.
  • Profiling: any form of automated processing of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects.
  • Pseudonymization: processing in such a manner that personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without additional information kept separately.
  • Controller: the natural or legal person which determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.
  • Processor: a natural or legal person which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
  • Recipient: a natural or legal person to whom the personal data are disclosed.
  • Third party: a natural or legal person other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who are authorized to process personal data under the direct authority of the controller or processor.
  • Consent: any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by a statement or by a clear affirmative action.

2. Name and Address of the Controller

3. General Data and Information Collection

The website of PeakSoft GmbH collects a series of general data and information when a data subject or automated system calls up the website. This general data and information are stored in the server log files and may include the browser types and versions used, the operating system used, the website from which an accessing system reaches our website, the date and time of access, an Internet protocol address (IP address), and other similar data and information used in the event of attacks on our IT systems.

4. Cookies

The Internet pages of PeakSoft GmbH use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. Through the use of cookies, PeakSoft GmbH can provide users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting. Data subjects can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies.

5. Contact Possibility via the Website

The website of PeakSoft GmbH contains information that enables a quick electronic contact to our enterprise, as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of electronic mail (email address). If a data subject contacts the controller by email or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject are automatically stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject.

6. Routine Erasure and Blocking of Personal Data

The controller shall process and store the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as far as this is granted by the European legislator or other legislators in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.

7. Rights of the Data Subject

  • Right of confirmation
  • Right of access
  • Right to rectification
  • Right to erasure (Right to be forgotten)
  • Right of restriction of processing
  • Right to data portability
  • Right to object
  • Right to withdraw consent

8. Web Hosting and Analytics

Our hosting provider may collect usage data for the purpose of technical provision and security (“server log files”). Where applicable, analytics services provided by 1&1 IONOS (1&1 Internet SE) may be used. Details can be found in the provider’s privacy notices. Data subjects can delete cookies at any time via their browser settings.

9. Processing of Applicant Data

The controller collects and processes personal data of applicants for the purpose of processing the application procedure. If an employment contract is concluded with an applicant, the data transmitted will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with legal requirements. If no employment contract is concluded, the application documents will be automatically deleted two months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the controller are opposed to the deletion.

10. Legal Basis for Processing

Insofar as we obtain consent from the data subject for processing operations, Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis. For processing necessary for the performance of a contract, Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR applies; for compliance with a legal obligation, Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR; to protect vital interests, Art. 6(1)(d) GDPR; and for processing based on legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR applies.

11. Legitimate Interests Pursued by the Controller

The legitimate interest is the conduct of our business for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.

12. Duration of Storage

The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of that period, the corresponding data are routinely deleted, provided that they are no longer necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of a contract.

13. Provision of Personal Data and Contractual Necessity

The provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g., tax regulations) or can also result from contractual provisions (e.g., information on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary to conclude a contract that the data subject provides us with personal data which must subsequently be processed by us. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract could not be concluded.

14. Automated Decision-Making

As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.
