Disclosure of personal data
As a globally active company, Pematech GmbH has a global Internet presence. Information that you provide via one of our Websites might therefore be transferred to a server in this country or in another country. Your privacy is protected globally, since all of our Websites are subject to the data protection provisions described here. We process your data globally within Pematech GmbH in order to handle your inquiries and orders and to allow us to constantly further improve our services and products.
If necessary, information will also be passed on from Pematech GmbH to our business partners, service providers, third parties and subcontractors.

When passing on personal data to third parties, we restrict this to the information required to render the services in question. The relevant third-party provider is allowed to use this personal data only in order to render the required service. Your personal data will not be passed on, sold or otherwise made available to third parties for marketing purposes without your express consent. Pematech might be forced to disclose your data and associated information if requested to do so by the courts or authorities. We also reserve the right to use your data to assert or defend legal claims.

Pematech GmbH takes all necessary technical and organizational security measures in order to protect your personal data from loss and misuse. This means that your data is saved in a secure operating environment that is not publicly accessible.
