Data security
PKAM takes appropriate technical and organizational security measures to protect your processed personal data from unauthorized access and misuse.

Despite regular checks, however, complete protection against all risks is not possible.

Collection and processing of personal data
Depending on the occasion and purpose, PKAM processes different personal data. As a rule, PKAM collects the personal data of users directly from the users, but it may also collect it from other sources.

PKAM processes personal data which it receives in the course of its business relations with customers, business partners and third parties and other persons involved or which it collects from its users in the operation of the website. In addition, PKAM withdraws data from publicly accessible sources or receives personal data from third parties, such as authorities or business partners (e.g. providers of background checks).

Purpose of data processing
PKAM uses the personal data collected mainly to enter into contractual relationships with customers, business partners and third parties, to process these, to make legally required notifications, to comply with other legal obligations and to be able to assess risks.

PKAM processes personal data for advertising, marketing purposes and for the implementation of events, as far as persons concerned have not recalled to the use of their data.

Cookies and other technologies when using our website
The web-server of PKAM automatically registers details of visits to the website of PKAM, such as the website from which the visit takes place, standardized information on the end device of the visitor, the IP address, the contents of the website called up, date and duration of the visit.

These data serve to optimize the website and provide information on how the visitor informs himself about PKAM and uses the website. As a rule, the registered data does not allow any conclusion to be drawn about the identity of the visitor. In this respect no personal data is processed.

PKAM uses cookies on its website. Cookies are small files that are stored on the visitor's computer in order to track the corresponding visit to the website and navigation between different pages, and to store settings. With the use of cookies on the website, PKAM can collect statistical data on the frequency and time of visits to individual areas of the website and, based on this information, develop the website further, in particular to make it useful and user-friendly.

PKAM may use third-party components, such as plug-ins, to improve the user experience. These components may also use cookies for similar purposes. Neither these third parties nor PKAM have access to the data collected by the other by means of cookies.

Data transfer and data transmission abroad
As far as permitted, necessary or required by law, PKAM also discloses data to third parties domestic and abroad within the framework of its business activities.

These third parties are service providers of PKAM (e.g. registered agents abroad, banks, insurance companies, consultants), domestic and foreign authorities, supervisory organizations, official bodies and courts, media, social media, industry organizations, associations.

Duration of storage of personal data
PKAM stores personal data for as long as it is necessary for the fulfilment of contractual, national and international legal obligations, for the pursuit of business interests or for the purposes pursued with the processing.

As soon as stored personal data is no longer needed, it is to be deleted as far as possible.

Obligation to provide personal data
In order to enter into and process business relationships and contracts, personal data must be provided to PKAM by customers, business partners and third parties. Likewise, data traffic via the website requires certain data to be exchanged and specified (e.g. IP address).

Without this necessary data, PKAM cannot enter into any business relationship and contract or the user cannot use the website of PKAM.

PKAM does not use automatic decision making to establish and implement business relationships or other contracts.

These rights may be restricted by legal or regulatory provisions (e.g. obligations to retain data). Please note that exercising these rights may result in the termination of the contract or costs.

Data subjects shall have a right of appeal to the competent authority, where applicable under the applicable law.

In cases in which PKAM processes personal data on the basis of consent, this consent can be withdrawn at any time.
