Privacy Policy

As any website, the website of The Progspace is by default collecting some of your data while you are visiting our page. Data protection is of a high priority for us. The use of the Internet pages of The Progspace is possible without any indication of personal data; however, for some actions on our site, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no statutory basis for such processing, we generally obtain consent from the user.

We are determined to collect and process your personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) at any time, and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to The Progspace, which is based in Germany. In this data protection declaration, we will explain the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, we will tell you about the rights to which you are entitled.

We have implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However, Internet-based data transmissions may in principle have security gaps, so we can not guarantee absolute protection. For this reason, every user (“data subject”) is free to contact us via alternative means, e.g. by telephone or mail to the address provided below.

This helps us to provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting. You can prevent the setting of cookies by our website by means of a setting of your Internet browser used, and thus permanently deny the setting of cookies. Of course, already set cookies can be deleted from within your browser’s settings as well. If you deactivate the setting of cookies, not all functions of our website may be entirely usable.

4. Collection of general data and information

The Progspace or our webhost siteground.com collect a series of general data and information when a user opens the website, like your IP address, your computer’s operating system, browser type, date and time ofyour visit. This data is collected by us/our webhost on the base of our legitimate interests to ensure an efficient and secure delivery of our website’s content (Art. 6 (1) lit. f GDPR). This data is only stored for a few hours and used by our webhost for creating pseudonymized usage statistics.

You can contact The Progspace electronically, that is by e-mail or the contact form. If you send us a message by e-mail or via the contact form, the personal data you transmit is automatically stored for the purpose of answering your request (Art. 6(1) lit. b). Of course you can enter any name you like – but if you want us to reply to your message we need at least a valid e-mail address. We won’t send your data to anyone else (so called “third parties”).

6. Comments function

We have to store your IP address for security reasons though, and in case a comment violates the rights of third parties, or contains illegal content. We won’t give the sotred data to any thord parties, except if it is required by law. We store the IP address for any comment for 7 days, after which it will be deleted automatically.

7. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data

Generally, we store user data only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as far as this is granted by the European legislator or other legislators in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject to.

If the storage purpose is not applicable, or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data are routinely blocked or erased in accordance with legal requirements.

8. Rights of the user/data subject

  • All users have the right to know if we store or process any of its personal data according to Art. 15 GDPR.
  • Also, you have the right to know which of your personal data we store and require rectification if needed, according to Art. 16 GDPR.

  • According to Art. 77 GDPR, you may also lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority.

For any of the aforementioned reasons you may contact us and we will process your request in due time.

9. Legal basis for the processing

Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, when processing operations necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service, the processing is based on Article 6(1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations which are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries concerning our services.
Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our website or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the user which require protection of personal data.

10. Period for which the personal data will be stored

The criteria used to determine the period of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiration of that period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, as long as it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of a contract.

11. Google Analytics
