We use the service “Cloudflare.” Provider: Cloudflare Inc., 101 Townsend St., San Francisco, CA 94107, USA (hereinafter “Cloudflare”).
Cloudflare provides a globally distributed Content Delivery Network with DNS. Technically, information transfer between your browser and our website is routed through Cloudflare’s network.

Cloudflare may also use cookies or other technologies to recognize internet users, but solely for the purpose described here.
The use of Cloudflare is based on our legitimate interest in providing our web offering as reliably and securely as possible (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
Data transfer to the USA is based on the EU Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses. Details: https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/.
Further information on security and data protection at Cloudflare: https://www.cloudflare.com/privacypolicy/.
The company is certified under the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (DPF).

Every company certified under the DPF commits to complying with these data protection standards.

We have concluded a Data Processing Agreement (DPA / AVV) for the use of the above service. This is a contract required under data protection law, ensuring that personal data of our website visitors is processed only according to our instructions and in compliance with the GDPR.
The operators of these pages take the protection of your personal data very seriously. We treat your personal data confidentially and in accordance with statutory data protection regulations and this Privacy Policy.
When you use this website, various personal data is collected. Personal data is data by which you can be personally identified. This Privacy Policy explains what data we collect and what we use it for. It also explains how and for what purpose this occurs.
Please note that data transmission over the internet (e.g., communication by email) may have security vulnerabilities. Complete protection of data against access by third parties is not possible.
The responsible party for data processing on this website is:
Alexander Da Silva Sebuh
Kirchmeierstr. 20
93051 Regensburg
Phone: to follow
Email: info@psmda.de
The responsible party is the natural or legal person who alone or jointly with others determines the purposes and means of processing personal data (e.g., names, email addresses, etc.).
Unless a more specific storage period has been stated in this Privacy Policy, your personal data will remain with us until the purpose for data processing no longer applies. If you assert a legitimate request for deletion or revoke your consent to data processing, your data will be deleted unless we have other legally permissible reasons for storing your personal data (e.g., tax or commercial retention periods); in the latter case, deletion takes place once those reasons no longer apply.
If you have consented to data processing, we process your personal data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR or Art. 9(2)(a) GDPR if special categories of data under Art. 9(1) GDPR are processed. In the case of explicit consent to transfer personal data to third countries, processing is also based on Art. 49(1)(a) GDPR. If you have consented to storage of cookies or access to information on your end device (e.g., via device fingerprinting), processing is also based on Section 25(1) TDDDG. Consent may be revoked at any time. If your data is required for contract performance or pre-contractual measures, we process your data on the basis of Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. We also process your data if required to fulfill a legal obligation based on Art. 6(1)(c) GDPR. Data processing may also be based on our legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR. Information on the relevant legal basis in each individual case is provided in the following sections of this Privacy Policy.
Among other things, we use tools from companies based in third countries that are not secure under data protection law, as well as US tools whose providers are not certified under the EU-US Data Privacy Framework (DPF). If these tools are active, your personal data may be transferred to and processed in these countries. Please note that no data protection level comparable to that in the EU can be guaranteed in data protection-unsafe third countries.
Please note that the USA is generally considered a safe third country with a data protection level comparable to that in the EU. Data transfer to the USA is therefore permissible if the recipient is certified under the “EU-US Data Privacy Framework” (DPF) or provides suitable additional safeguards. Information on transfers to third countries, including data recipients, can be found in this Privacy Policy.
As part of our business operations, we work with various external parties. In some cases, transmission of personal data to these external parties is necessary. We only disclose personal data to external parties if this is required as part of contract fulfillment, if we are legally obligated to do so (e.g., disclosure to tax authorities), if we have a legitimate interest under Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR in the disclosure, or if another legal basis permits data transfer. When using processors, we disclose personal data of our customers only on the basis of a valid data processing agreement. In the case of joint processing, a joint processing agreement is concluded.
Many data processing operations are only possible with your explicit consent. You may revoke consent already given at any time. The legality of data processing carried out before revocation remains unaffected by revocation.
IF DATA PROCESSING IS BASED ON ART. 6(1)(E) OR (F) GDPR, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT AT ANY TIME TO OBJECT, ON GROUNDS RELATING TO YOUR PARTICULAR SITUATION, TO PROCESSING OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING BASED ON THOSE PROVISIONS. THE RELEVANT LEGAL BASIS FOR PROCESSING CAN BE FOUND IN THIS PRIVACY POLICY. IF YOU OBJECT, WE WILL NO LONGER PROCESS YOUR AFFECTED PERSONAL DATA UNLESS WE CAN DEMONSTRATE COMPELLING LEGITIMATE GROUNDS FOR PROCESSING THAT OVERRIDE YOUR INTERESTS, RIGHTS, AND FREEDOMS, OR PROCESSING SERVES THE ESTABLISHMENT, EXERCISE, OR DEFENSE OF LEGAL CLAIMS (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21(1) GDPR).
IF YOUR PERSONAL DATA IS PROCESSED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES, YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO OBJECT AT ANY TIME TO PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA CONCERNING YOU FOR THE PURPOSE OF SUCH MARKETING; THIS ALSO APPLIES TO PROFILING INSOFAR AS IT IS RELATED TO SUCH DIRECT MARKETING. IF YOU OBJECT, YOUR PERSONAL DATA WILL THEREAFTER NO LONGER BE USED FOR DIRECT MARKETING PURPOSES (OBJECTION UNDER ART. 21(2) GDPR).
In the event of violations of the GDPR, data subjects have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, particularly in the Member State of their habitual residence, place of work, or place of the alleged violation. The right to lodge a complaint exists without prejudice to other administrative or judicial remedies.
You have the right to receive data that we process automatically on the basis of your consent or in fulfillment of a contract, either to yourself or to a third party, in a commonly used, machine-readable format. If you request direct transfer of data to another controller, this will only be done to the extent technically feasible.
Within the framework of applicable legal provisions, you have the right at any time to free information about your stored personal data, its origin and recipients, and the purpose of data processing, and, where applicable, a right to correction or deletion of this data. You may contact us at any time for this and other questions about personal data.
You have the right to request restriction of processing of your personal data. You may contact us at any time for this purpose. The right to restriction of processing applies in the following cases:
If you have restricted processing of your personal data, such data—apart from storage—may be processed only with your consent or for the establishment, exercise, or defense of legal claims, or for protection of the rights of another natural or legal person, or for important public interest reasons of the European Union or a Member State.
For security reasons and to protect transmission of confidential content, such as orders or inquiries you send to us as the website operator, this site uses SSL or TLS encryption. You can recognize an encrypted connection by the browser address line changing from “http://” to “https://” and by the lock symbol in your browser line.

The website operator has a legitimate interest in storing necessary cookies for technically error-free and optimized provision of its services. If consent to store cookies and comparable recognition technologies has been requested, processing is carried out exclusively on the basis of this consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR and Section 25(1) TDDDG); consent may be revoked at any time.
