A scope of this Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy is valid for the English-language pages of the website www.wpgeocontroller.com, hereinafter referred to as “this website”.

Definitions

The EU General Data Protection Regulation (EU GDPR) defines some terms in article 4, without which the regulation is difficult to understand. To make it as easy as possible for the reader, this privacy policy is based on the terms of the EU GDPR and I present the main terms from article 4 GDPR below.

For the purposes of the EU General Data Protection Regulation:

‘personal data’means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (‘data subject’); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person;
‘processing’means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organization, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction;
‘restriction of processing’means the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing in the future;
‘profiling’means any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyze or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behavior, location or movements;
‘pseudonymisation’means the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organizational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person;
‘filing system’means any structured set of personal data which are accessible according to specific criteria, whether centralized, decentralized or dispersed on a functional or geographical basis;
‘controller’means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data; where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law;
‘processor’means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller;
‘recipient’means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients; the processing of those data by those public authorities shall be in compliance with the applicable data protection rules according to the purposes of the processing;
‘third party’means a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorized to process personal data;
‘consent’of the data subject means any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her;
‘personal data breach’means a breach of security leading to the accidental or unlawful destruction, loss, alteration, unauthorized disclosure of, or access to, personal data transmitted, stored or otherwise processed.

The EU-GDPR defines further terms beyond these 12, but they are not relevant to this privacy policy.

Data Retention

We generally store information about you, for as long as we need the information, for the purposes which we collect and use it, and we are not legally required to continue to keep it. For example, we retain personal information we collect from you, when we have an ongoing legitimate business need to do so (to provide you with a service you have requested or to comply with applicable legal, tax, or accounting requirements).

This includes your name, email address and billing address.

We will also store comments or reviews, if you choose to leave them.

Access

If you are a registered user, you may access certain information associated with your Account by logging into our Services or emailing us at info@wpgeocontroller.com. If you terminate your Account, any public activity on your Account prior to the deletion may remain stored on our servers and may remain accessible to the public.

To protect your privacy and security, we may also take reasonable steps to verify your identity, before updating or removing your information. The information you provide us may be archived or stored periodically, according to the backup processes conducted in the ordinary course of business, for disaster recovery purposes. Your ability to access and correct your information may be temporarily limited where access and correction could: inhibit Geo Controllers’ ability to comply with a legal obligation; inhibit Geo Controllers’ ability to investigate, make or defend legal claims; result in disclosure of personal information about a third party; or result in breach of a contract or disclosure of trade secrets or other proprietary business information belonging to Geo Controller or a third party.

When we have no ongoing legitimate business needs to process your personal information, we will either delete or anonymize it or, if this is not possible (for example, because your personal information has been stored in backup archives), we will securely store your personal information and isolate it from any further processing until deletion is possible.

Why Do We Retain Personal Data?

We retain Personal Data to fulfill our legal or regulatory obligations and for our business purposes. We may retain your Personal Data for longer periods of time, otherwise required by law, if it is in our legitimate business interest and it is not prohibited by law. If your Account is closed, we may take steps to mask your Personal Data and other information, but we reserve our ability to retain and access the data for as long as it is required to comply with applicable laws. We will continue to use and disclose such Personal Data in accordance with this Privacy Statement.

Legal basis for processing personal information

Our legal basis for collecting and using the personal information described above will depend on the personal information concerned and the specific context in which we collect it.

However, we will normally collect personal information from you only (a) where we need the personal information to perform a contract with you; (b) where the processing is in our legitimate interest and not overridden by your rights; or (c) where we have your consent to do so. We have a legitimate interest in operating our Services and communicating with you as necessary to provide these Services, for example, when responding to your inquiry, improving our platform, undertaking marketing, or for the purposes of detecting or preventing illegal activities.

In some cases, we may also have a legal obligation to collect personal information from you or may otherwise need the personal information to protect your vital interests or those of another person.

If we ask you to provide personal information to comply with a legal requirement or to perform a contract with you, we will make this clear at a relevant time and advise you whether, the provision of your personal information is mandatory or not (as well as of the possible consequences if you do not provide your personal information).

We respond to all requests we receive from individuals wishing to exercise their data protection rights in accordance with applicable data protection laws.

If you are a resident of the EEA, you have the following data protection rights:

If you wish to access, correct, update, or request deletion of your personal information, you can do so at any time by emailing us at info@wpgeocontroller.com;
In addition, you can object to the processing of your personal information, ask us to restrict the processing of your personal information, or request portability of your personal information. Again, you can exercise these rights by emailing us at info@wpgeocontroller.com;
You have the right to opt-out of marketing communications we send you at any time. You can exercise this right by clicking on the “unsubscribe” or “opt-out” link in the marketing emails we send you. To opt-out of other forms of marketing, please email us at info@wpgeocontroller.com;
Similarly, if we have collected and processed your personal information with your consent, then you can withdraw your consent at any time. Withdrawing your consent will not affect the lawfulness of any processing we conducted prior to your withdrawal, nor will it affect the processing of your personal information conducted in reliance on lawful processing grounds other than consent;
You have the right to complain to a data protection authority about our collection and use of your personal information. For more information, please contact your local data protection authority.

External Technical Support Services

Technical support services are needed because website operators cannot program everything themselves these days. Thus external services are used to enrich websites or even make them possible.

The lawfulness of processing (i.e. the integration of the following technical support services) results from Art. 6, par. 1, lit. (f) GDPR and the legitimate interest pursued by the website operator (controller) to provide a rich, appealing, functional and secure web site.

Advertising Partners

The controller (website operator) has entered into some partnerships that enable earning an income by placing advertising on the pages of this website. The following affiliate partners are integrating program codes into the pages of this website so that your web browser also communicates directly with affiliates – regardless of whether you click on an ad link.

The lawfulness of the processing (i.e. the involvement of advertising partners) results from Art. 6, par. 1 lit. (f) GDPR and the legitimate interest of the website operator (controller) to refinance the costs of this website and to earn an income from his work. Without the income from advertising, this website could not be made available to the general public, free of charge.

On this website, the controller has integrated Google AdSense. Google AdSense is an online service which allows the placement of advertisement on third party sites. Google AdSense is based on an algorithm that selects advertisements displayed on third party sites to match with the content of the respective third party site.

The operating company of Google AdSense component is:

Alphabet Inc.,

1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

The purpose of Google AdSense component is the integration of advertisements on this website. Google AdSense places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. The definition of cookies is explained above. With the setting of the cookie, Alphabet Inc. is enabled to analyze the use of this website. With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet site, which is operated by the controller and into which a Google AdSense component is integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject, will automatically submit data through the Google AdSense component for the purpose of online advertising and the settlement of commissions to Alphabet Inc. During the course of this technical procedure, the enterprise Alphabet Inc. gains knowledge of Personal Data, such as the IP address of the data subject, which serves Alphabet Inc., inter alia, to understand the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently create commission settlements.

The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through this website at any time by means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Such an adjustment to the Internet browser would also prevent Alphabet Inc. from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. Additionally, cookies already in use by Alphabet Inc. may be deleted at any time via the web browser.

Furthermore, Google AdSense also uses so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in web pages to enable a log file recording and log file analysis through which a statistical analysis may be performed. Based on the embedded tracking pixels, Alphabet Inc. is able to determine if and when a website was opened by a data subject, and which links were clicked on by the data subject. Tracking pixels serves, inter alia, to analyze the flow of visitors on a website.

Through Google AdSense, personal data and information – this also includes the IP address, and is necessary for the collection and accounting of the displayed advertisements — is transmitted to Alphabet Inc. in the United States of America. These personal data will be stored and processed in the United States of America. The Alphabet Inc. may disclose the collected personal data through this technical procedure to third parties.

Google AdSense is also able to perform an interest-based targeting of the Internet user (personalized advertising, profiling), which is implemented by generating individual user profiles. In its AdSense settings, the controller has turned off personalized advertising for European Economic Area (EEA) users for this website. As a data subject, you will not receive personalized advertising within this website, but advertisement based on the content of this website.

Google AdSense is further explained under the following link https://www.google.de/intl/en/adsense/start/. Also read Google’s privacy policy: https://www.google.com/policies/privacy/ and change your settings for personalized advertising on Google: https://adssettings.google.com/authenticated.
