PSI TRANSCOM GMBH

Information on data protection

Welcome to the website of PSI Transcom GmbH, Dircksenstraße 42-44, 10178 Berlin, Germany. PSI Transcom GmbH takes the protection of personal data very seriously. Therefore, we would like to inform you below about which data from your visit is used for which purposes.
1. What is personal data?
Personal data is any information concerning the personal or material circumstances of an identified or identifiable natural person (data subject), such as your real name, age, marital status, address, email address, telephone number, bank details or date of birth.
2. Principle of anonymous processing
Unless otherwise stated in the following sections, no personal data is collected, processed or used when you use our website.
If you wish to view our website, we collect the following data, which is technically necessary for us to display our website to you and to ensure stability and security. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 Para. 1 f GDPR.
When you visit our website, information is transmitted while maintaining your anonymity, such as
IP address
Browser type/version
operating system used
Referrer URL (the previously visited page)
Time of server request.
PSI Transcom GmbH is unable to allocate this data to specific persons. This data is not combined with other data ; the data is also deleted after a statistical evaluation and used exclusively to improve the attractiveness, content and functionality of our websites.
3. Cookies
We use cookies to optimize our website continuously. Cookies are files that the websites you visit transfer to your computer for identification and to facilitate navigation. This means that you do not have to re-enter all the necessary data each time you use the site. It also allows us to tailor our web pages precisely to your needs. If you wish to prevent the use of cookies, you can refuse to accept cookies in your browser. Please refer to your browser manufacturer’s instructions for details of how this works.
When accessing our website, all users of our website are also informed about our use of cookies by means of an information banner and referred to this data protection notice. As a user, you will also be asked to consent to the use of certain cookies that are particularly relevant for personalizing services and for marketing measures. You can revoke consent given by you at any time with effect for the future by unchecking the box next to the processing to which you had consented.
The legal basis for possible processing of personal data using cookies and their storage duration can vary. If you have given us your consent, the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR. If the data processing is carried out on the basis of our overriding legitimate interests, the legal basis is Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. The stated purpose then corresponds to our legitimate interest. The cookies used on this website can be viewed in the cookie settings:
3.1 Google Ads (formerly Google AdWords), remarketing and conversion tracking
We use the Google Ads service. Google Ads is an online advertising program from Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheater Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. The responsible body for users in the EU/EEA and Switzerland is Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.
This means that we place Google Ads ads and also use Google Remarketing and Conversion Tracking as part of this. The ads are displayed on websites in the Google advertising network based on search queries. We also use Ads Remarketing lists for search ads. This allows us to customize search ad campaigns for users who have visited our website before. The services enable us to combine our ads with certain search terms or to display ads to previous visitors in which, for example, services that visitors have viewed on our website are advertised. This means that we can display interest-based advertising to users of our website on other websites within the Google advertising network (as a “Google ad” as part of a Google search or on other websites).
An analysis of online user behavior is necessary for interest-based offers. Google uses cookies to carry out this analysis. When you click on an ad or visit our website, Google sets a cookie on the user’s computer. These cookies have a duration of 90 days. The information collected by means of the respective cookie is used to be able to address the visitor specifically in a later search query. Further information on the cookie technology used can also be found in Google’s notes on website statistics and in the data protection regulations. With the help of this technology, Google and we as a customer receive information that a user has clicked on an ad and been redirected to our web pages. The information obtained in this way is used exclusively for statistical evaluation to optimize the ads. We do not receive any information that can be used to personally identify visitors. Your IP address is transmitted to Google, but because we use Google’s IP masking on this website when using Google Analytics, your IP address is anonymized. The statistics provided to us by Google include the total number of users who clicked on one of our ads and, if applicable, whether they were redirected to a page on our website that had a conversion tag. These statistics help us to understand which search terms were clicked on most often and which ads led to users contacting us via the contact form.
Insofar as data is processed outside the EEA, where there is no level of data protection corresponding to the European standard, we have concluded EU standard contractual clauses with the service provider to establish a secure level of data protection.
You can find more information about data protection in the context of Google Ads at: https://policies.google.com/technologies/ads?hl=de
Data collection and storage only takes place with explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) 1 lit. a GDPR. This consent can be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future.
If you do not want your visit to be included in the user statistics, you can prevent this by, for example, preventing the cookies required for these technologies from being saved via your browser settings.
You can also use the ad settings to select the types of Google ads or to disable interest-based ads on Google. Alternatively, you can disable the use of cookies by third parties by accessing the opt-out tool of the Network Advertising Initiative.
However, we and Google continue to receive statistical information about how many users visited this page and when. If you do not want to be included in these statistics either, you can prevent this by using additional programs for your browser (e.g. the Ghostery add-on).
3.2 Google Analytics
Insofar as you have given your consent, this website uses Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google LLC. The responsible body for users in the EU/EEA and Switzerland is Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland (“Google”).
Scope of processing
Google Analytics uses cookies that enable an analysis of your use of our websites. The information collected by cookies about your use of this website is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there.
Google Analytics 4 has activated the anonymization of IP addresses by default. Due to IP anonymization, your IP address will be truncated by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases will the full IP address be sent to a Google server in the US and shortened there. The IP address provided by Google Analytics as part of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data.
During your visit to our website, your user behavior is recorded in the form of “events”. Events can be:

Purposes of processing
On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your (pseudonymous) use of the website and to compile reports on website activity.

Alphabet Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA
It cannot be ruled out that US authorities will access the data stored by Google.
Third-country transfer
Insofar as data is processed outside the EU/EEA and there is no level of data protection that meets European standards, we have concluded EU standard contractual clauses with the service provider to ensure an adequate level of data protection. The parent company of Google Ireland, Google LLC, is based in California, USA. A transfer of data to the USA and access by US authorities to the data stored by Google cannot be ruled out. The USA is currently considered a third country from a data protection perspective. You do not have the same rights there as you do within the EU/EEA. You may not have any legal remedies against access by authorities.
Storage duration
The data sent by us and linked to cookies is automatically deleted after 14 months. Data that has reached the end of its retention period is automatically deleted once a month.
Legal basis
The legal basis for this data processing is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) 1 lit. a GDPR.
Revocation
You can revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by accessing the cookie settings (see cookie icon in the bottom right-hand corner) and changing your selection there. The legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until revocation remains unaffected.
Alternatively, you can prevent cookies from being stored by adjusting your browser software accordingly. However, if you configure your browser to reject all cookies, you may experience reduced functionality on this and other websites. You can also prevent the data generated by cookies about your use of the website (incl. your IP address) from being passed to Google, and the processing of these data by Google, by

3.3 Google Maps Plug-In
This site uses the mapping service Google Maps. Google Maps is a mapping service provided by Google LLC, 1600 Amphitheater Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA. The responsible body for users in the EU/EEA and Switzerland is Google Ireland Limited, Google Building Gordon House, 4 Barrow St, Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland.
To use the Google Maps features, information, including the IP address and the address entered as part of the route function, may be transmitted to the provider’s servers. This information is usually transmitted to and stored by Google on servers in the United States. When you visit a website that contains Google Maps, your browser establishes a direct connection with Google’s servers, whereby the map content is sent to your browser and integrated by it. The provider of this site has no influence on this data transfer. According to current knowledge, this includes the following data:
Date and time of the visit to the website in question,
Internet address or URL of the website accessed,
IP address, (start) address entered during route planning.
We use Google Maps to present our online offers in an appealing manner and to make it easier to find the locations we specify on the website. If you do not want Google to process data in connection with this service, you can disable the use of JavaScript in your browser settings. Please note that in this case, the interactive map function of Google Maps cannot be used.
Insofar as data is processed outside the European Economic Area / the EU, where there is no level of data protection corresponding to the European standard, Google uses standard contractual clauses, according to its own information.
For more information about how user data is handled, please refer to Google’s privacy policy: https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.
Data collection and storage only takes place with explicit consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) 1 lit. a GDPR. This consent can be withdrawn at any time with effect for the future.
3.4 Google Forms
This site uses Google Forms in various places. The provider is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View, CA 94043, USA.
To use the functions of Google Forms, it is necessary to store the specified data. This information is usually transferred to a Google server in the USA and stored there. The provider of this site has no influence on this transfer of data.
The use of Google Forms is in the interest of an appealing presentation of our online offer and an easy utilization of the given data. This constitutes a legitimate interest within the meaning of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO.
For more information about how user data is handled, please see Google’s privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy;
4. hCAPTCHA

We use hCAPTCHA from Intuition Machines, Inc, a Delaware US Corporation (“IMI”) to prevent spam.

The legal basis for the use is Article 6 (1) f (lawfulness of processing), because there is a legitimate interest in protecting this website from bots and spam.

hCAPTCHA is a free service that protects websites from spam and abuse. It uses advanced risk analysis techniques to distinguish between humans and bots. With the new API, a significant number of your valid human users will pass the hCAPTCHA challenge without having to solve a CAPTCHA. We use hCAPTCHA to secure forms.

By using hCAPTCHA, data is transferred to Intuition Machines, which Intuition Machines uses to determine whether the visitor is a human or a (spam) bot. You can find out what data is collected by Intuition Machines and what this data is used for at https://www.hcaptcha.com/privacy. You can read the terms of use at https://www.hcaptcha.com/terms.

5. Social Media
5.1 LinkedIn, XING, YouTube
On our website, you will find links to the social media services of LinkedIn and YouTube.
Links to the websites of the social media services can be recognized by the respective company logo. If you follow these links, you will reach the PSI Transcom company page on the respective social media service. When you click on a link to a social media service, a connection is established to the servers of the social media service. This notifies the servers of the social media service that you have visited our website. In addition, further data is transmitted to the provider of the social media service. These are, for example:
Address of the website on which the activated link is located
Date and time of accessing the website or activating the link
Information about the browser and operating system used
IP address
If you are already logged into the corresponding social media service at the time you activate the link, the social media service provider may be able to determine your user name and possibly even your real name from the transmitted data and assign this information to your personal user account with the social media service. You can prevent this information from being associated with your personal user account by logging out of your user account beforehand.
The servers of the social media services LinkedIn and YouTube are located in the United States and other countries outside the European Union. The data may therefore also be processed by the social media service provider in countries outside the European Union. Please note that companies in these countries are subject to data protection laws that generally do not protect personal data to the same extent as in the member states of the European Union.
Please note that we have no influence on the scope, type and purpose of data processing by the social media service provider. For more information on the use of your data by the social media services integrated on our website, please refer to the privacy policy of the respective social media service.
