3.3. Purposes of processing Personal Data

LATEXCO shall Process Personal Data for the following purposes:

4. TRANSFER OF DATA TO THIRD PARTIES

4.1. LATEXCO will not sell your Personal Data to third parties and will only share your Personal Data with third parties if (i) this is necessary for the performance of the activities of LATEXCO, (ii) this is necessary in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, legal obligations, or (iii) this is necessary for the performance of the agreement concluded with you.

4.2. LATEXCO could transfer your Personal Data to processors, these being companies LATEXCO commissions to process data within the legally defined parameters, in accordance with Art. 28 GDPR (service providers, contractors). In this case, LATEXCO will still remain responsible for the protection of your Personal Data (i.e. as LATEXCO is the “controller"). LATEXCO has implemented legal, technical and organisational measures, alongside the performance of regular controls, to ensure that processors comply with the provisions of the data protection laws. We commission contractors in the following areas in particular: IT, sales, legal, marketing, finance, consulting, customer service, HR, logistics, ...

LATEXCO will also transfer your Personal Data to its co-operation partners, who deliver services to you under their own responsibility (suppliers, delivery companies). This is the case when you request LATEXCO to deliver services from these partners, or if you consent to the involvement of the partner, or if we engage the partner in a situation in which we are legally permitted to do so, such as the performance of a contract, in accordance with Art. 6 (1 b) GDPR.

4.3. Personal Data is transferred within the LATEXCO Group for internal administrative purposes connected with centralised customer care and order processing. The legal basis for this is Art. 6 (1 f) GDPR. LATEXCO has instituted internal guidelines that obliged its companies to implement the technical/organisational measures for ensuring the security of data processing operations.

4.4. In certain cases LATEXCO has a legal obligation to provide certain data to public agencies if requested.

4.5. LATEXCO keeps its technical and organizational measures to ensure the security of data processing up to date, in particular to protect your Personal Data from risks during the data transfer. These measures are adapted in accordance with (i) the current state of the art, (ii) the need to protect the relevant Personal Data, and (iii) the risks to your rights and freedoms. In general, your data will be processed in the European Union. If, in exceptional cases, your data is also processed in countries outside the European Union (i.e. in "third countries"), this will take place to the extent that you have explicitly agreed or if this is necessary to enable LATEXCO to provide its service to you, or if this is laid down by law (Art. 49 GDPR). Furthermore, your data will be processed in third countries only insofar as certain measures are in place to ensure that a reasonable level of data protection exists there (e.g. adequacy decision taken by the EU Commission or “appropriate safeguards”, Art. 44 et seqq. GDPR).

5. LENGTH OF THE STORAGE

Unless otherwise described in this Privacy Statement, Personal Data will be erased once it has fulfilled its applicable, specified purpose, and there are no retention obligations preventing its erasure. Personal Data is routinely erased following the expiry of the retention period, provided it is not needed for the initiation or fulfilment of a contract, and there is no other existing legal basis for the data processing.

6. SECURITY OF DATA PROCESSING

6.1. LATEXCO maintains up-to-date technical and organisational measures for ensuring the security of the data processing operation, especially in order to protect your Personal Data from risks during data transfer and from becoming known to unauthorised third parties. These measures are modified in accordance with the current state-of-the-art, the need for protecting the Personal Data in question, and the risks to your rights and freedoms.

In addition to securing the systems, LATEXCO also want to ensure that not everyone within LATEXCO has access to your Personal Data. The systems in which Users data is stored are therefore only accessible to a select group of employees for whom it is necessary for them to carry out their work that they have access to.

6.2. LATEXCO does not use automated individual decision-making. If LATEXCO uses these procedures in individual cases, she will inform you of this separately, provided this is prescribed by law.

b) to demand the rectification or augmentation of incorrect or incomplete data (Art. 16 GDPR);

c) to withdraw consent at any time, effective for the future (Art. 7 (3) GDPR);

d) to object to the processing of your Personal Data on grounds relating to your particular situation (Art 21 (1) GDPR);

e) in certain cases, to demand the erasure of data - especially insofar the Personal Data is no longer necessary for the envisaged purpose or if it is processed unlawfully, or if you withdraw your consent in accordance with (c) above, or if you have stated your objection in accordance with (d) above (Art. 17 GDPR);

f) under certain conditions, to demand the restriction to the processing of data, insofar as it is not possible to erase it, or the obligation to erase disputed (Art. 18 GDPR);

g) to data portability, i.e. you are entitled to receive the personal data concerning you, which you provided to us, in a commonly used machine-readable format, such as CSV, and, where relevant, to transmit it to others (Art. 20 GDPR);

7.2. LATEXCO is committed to responding to your request as quickly as possible, within thirty days at the latest.

However, you should keep in mind that LATEXCO may not be obliged to comply with every request for access, correction, deletion or transfer. This is because of our legal obligations, reasons of general interest (preservation, statistical analysis, scientific or historical research), for the institution, exercise or substantiation of a legal claim or the justified exercise of the right to freedom of expression and/or information.

7.3. In the event of a conflict with regard to the processing of your Personal Data, you can contact LATEXCO by sending an e-mail to: info@latexco.com.

You also have the option of submitting a complaint to the national supervisory authority.
