Regate S.A.
Regate S.A. Privacy Policy
This privacy policy has been compiled to better serve those who are concerned with how their ‘Personally
Identifiable Information’ (PII) is being used online. PII, as described in Greek and European privacy law
after the GDPR taking effect on the 25th of May 2018, is information that can be used on its own or with
other information to identify, contact, or locate a single person, or to identify an individual in context.
Please read our privacy policy carefully to get a clear understanding of how we collect, use, protect or
otherwise handle your Personal Data in accordance with our website.
- Important information
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a
data subject shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in
accordance with the Greek and European data protection regulations applicable to REGATE SA. By
means of this data protection declaration, our enterprise would like to inform the general public of the
nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects
are informed, by means of this data protection declaration, of the rights to which they are entitled.
The use of the Internet pages of REGATE SA is possible without any indication of personal data; however,
if a data subject wants to use special enterprise services via our website or our software, 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 data subject.
As the controller, REGATE SA has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to
ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However, Internetbased data transmissions may in principle have security gaps, so absolute protection may not be
guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transfer personal data to us via alternative
means, e.g. by telephone. - Definitions
The data protection declaration of REGATE SA is based on the terms used by the European legislator for
the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our data protection declaration should
be legible and understandable for the general public, as well as our customers and business partners. To
ensure this, we would like to first explain the terminology used.
In this data protection declaration, we use, inter alia, the following terms:
a) Personal data
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (“data
subject”). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by
reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or
to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social
identity of that natural person.
b) Data subject
Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person, whose personal data is processed by the
controller responsible for the processing.
c) Processing
Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of
personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation,
structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission,
dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
d) Restriction of processing
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting their processing
in the future.
e) Profiling
Profiling means any form of manual or automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of
personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or
predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health,
personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.
f) Pseudonymisation
Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no
longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such
additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure
that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.
g) Controller or controller responsible for the processing
Controller or controller responsible for the processing is the natural or legal person, public authority,
agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the
processing of personal data; where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union
or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union
or Member State law.
h) Processor
Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal
data on behalf of the controller.
i) Recipient
Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the personal data
are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data
in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be
regarded as recipients; the processing of those data by those public authorities shall be in compliance
with the applicable data protection rules according to the purposes of the processing.
j) Third party
Third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject,
controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are
authorised to process personal data.
k) Consent
Consent of the data subject is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data
subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement
to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.
l) Anonymisation
Anonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer
are available, since techniques are used to be overwritten with dummy data. - Name and Address of the controller

applicable in Member states of the European Union and other provisions related to data protection is:
REGATE SA
MESOGEION AVENUE 419

Email: [email protected]
Websites: Domain regate.gr and all subdomains, Domain regate.mobi and all subdomains,
www.regate-effective.com, www.field-service.gr, www.mobile-sales.gr and all alias websites - Cookies
The Internet pages of REGATE SA use cookies. Cookies are text files that are stored in a computer
system via an Internet browser.
Many Internet sites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is
a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a character string through which Internet pages and servers
can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This allows visited
Internet sites and servers to differentiate the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet
browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified using
the unique cookie ID.
Through the use of cookies, REGATE SA can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly
services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.
By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized with the user in mind.
Cookies allow us, as previously mentioned, to recognize our website users. The purpose of this
recognition is to make it easier for users to utilize our website. The website user that uses cookies, e.g.
does not have to enter access data each time the website is accessed, because this is taken over by the
website, and the cookie is thus stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie of
a shopping cart in an online shop. The online store remembers the articles that a customer has placed in
the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.
The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies through our website by means of a
corresponding setting of the Internet browser used, and may thus permanently deny the setting of cookies.
Furthermore, already set cookies may be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software
programs. This is possible in all popular Internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of
cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be entirely usable. - Collection of general data and information
The websites of REGATE SA collect a series of general data and information when a data subject or
automated system calls up the website. This general data and information are stored in the server log
files. Collected may be (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the operating system used by the
accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called
referrers), (4) the sub-websites, (5) the date and time of access to the Internet site, (6) an Internet protocol
address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system, and (8) any other similar
data and information that may be used in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using these general data and information, REGATE SA does not draw any conclusions about the
data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of our website correctly, (2)
optimize the content of our website as well as its advertisement, (3) ensure the long-term viability of our
information technology systems and website technology, and (4) provide law enforcement authorities with
the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case of a cyber-attack. Therefore, REGATE SA
analyses anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of increasing the data
protection and data security of our enterprise, and to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal
data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data
provided by a data subject.
REGATE SA collects information for legal entities as well as for individuals that relate to those legal
entities. The personal data collected for those individuals may include: - Company/Work Address
- Name
- Work Title
- Mobile Phone and Landline
- Email Addresses
- History of communications
- Location of Company/Work
Please note that items (1), (2), (3), (4) and (5) are collected through direct communication with the
individual (subject) via telephone interview or by person-to-person meetings with our staff on which
business cards are typically exchanged. - Subscription to our newsletters
On the website of REGATE SA, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to one of our enterprise’s
newsletters (myMobility News, Partner Newsletter). The input mask used for this purpose determines
what personal data are transmitted, as well as when the newsletter is ordered from the controller.
REGATE SA informs its customers and business partners regularly by means of a newsletter about
enterprise offers, new and other information. The enterprise’s newsletter may only be received by the
data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid e-mail address and (2) the data subject registers for the
newsletter delivery.
During the registration for the newsletter, we also store the IP address of the computer system assigned
by the Internet service provider (ISP) and used by the data subject at the time of the registration, as well
as the date and time of the registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to understand the
(possible) misuse of the e-mail address of a data subject at a later date, and it therefore serves the aim
of the legal protection of the controller.
The personal data collected as part of a registration for the newsletter will only be used to send our
newsletter. In addition, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by e-mail, as long as this is
necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a registration in question, as this could be the
case in the event of modifications to the newsletter offer, or in the event of a change in technical
circumstances. There will be no transfer of personal data collected by the newsletter service to third
parties. The subscription to our newsletter may be terminated by the data subject at any time. The consent
to the storage of personal data, which the data subject has given for shipping the newsletter, may be
revoked at any time. For the purpose of revocation of consent, a corresponding link is found in each
newsletter. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly from the newsletter
unsubscribe form, or to communicate this to the controller in a different way. - Newsletter-Tracking
The newsletter of REGATE SA contains so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic
embedded in such e-mails, which are sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and analysis. This
allows a statistical analysis of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Based on the
embedded tracking pixel, REGATE SA may see if and when an e-mail was opened by a data subject, and
which links in the e-mail were called up by data subjects.
Such personal data collected in the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and analysed
by the controller in order to optimize the shipping of the newsletter, as well as to adapt the content of
future newsletters even better to the interests of the data subject. These personal data will not be passed
on to third parties. Data subjects are at any time entitled to revoke the respective separate declaration of
consent issued by means of the double-opt-in procedure. After a revocation, these personal data will be
deleted by the controller. REGATE SA automatically regards a withdrawal from the receipt of the
newsletter as a revocation.
Regate uses Mailchimp for all Newsletter tracking activities. Please refer to their Privacy Policy. - Contact possibility via the website
The website of REGATE SA contains information that enables a quick electronic contact to our enterprise,
as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic
mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the controller by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal
data transmitted by the data subject are automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a
voluntary basis by a data subject to the data controller are stored for the purpose of processing or
contacting the data subject. There is no transfer of this personal data to third parties. - Routine erasure and blocking of personal data
The data controller shall process and store the personal data of the data subject 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. - Rights of the data subject
a) Right of confirmation
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller the
confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning him or her are being processed. If a data
subject wishes to avail himself of this right of confirmation, he or she may, at any time, contact any
employee of the controller.
b) Right of access
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller free
information about his or her personal data stored at any time and a copy of this information. Furthermore,
the European directives and regulations grant the data subject access to the following information:

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, he or she may, at any time, contact any
employee of the controller.
All requests regarding the Rights of the data subject should be addressed at [email protected].
d) Right to erasure (Right to be forgotten)
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller the
erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay, and the controller shall have the
obligation to erase personal data without undue delay where one of the following grounds applies, as long
as the processing is not necessary:
• The personal data are no longer necessary in relation to the purposes for which they were
collected or otherwise processed.
• The data subject withdraws consent to which the processing is based according to point (a) of
Article 6(1) of the GDPR, or point (a) of Article 9(2) of the GDPR, and where there is no other
legal ground for the processing.
• The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR and there are

• The personal data have been unlawfully processed.
• The personal data must be erased for compliance with a legal obligation in Union or Member
State law to which the controller is subject.
• The personal data have been collected in relation to the offer of information society services
referred to in Article 8(1) of the GDPR.
If one of the aforementioned reasons applies, and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal
data stored by REGATE SA, he or she may, at any time, contact any employee of the controller. An
employee of REGATE SA shall promptly ensure that the erasure request is complied with immediately.
Where the controller has made personal data public and is obliged pursuant to Article 17(1) to erase the
personal data, the controller, taking account of available technology and the cost of implementation, shall
take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform other controllers processing the personal
data that the data subject has requested erasure by such controllers of any links to, or copy or replication
of, those personal data, as far as processing is not required. An employee of REGATE SA will arrange
the necessary measures in individual cases.
All requests regarding the Rights of the data subject should be addressed at [email protected].
e) Right of restriction of processing
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller
restriction of processing where one of the following applies: - The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the
controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data. - The processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and
requests instead the restriction of their use instead. - The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they
are required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims. - The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR pending the
verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.
If one of the aforementioned conditions is met, and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of the
processing of personal data stored by REGATE SA, he or she may at any time contact any employee of
the controller. The employee of REGATE SA will arrange the restriction of the processing.
All requests regarding the Rights of the data subject should be addressed at [email protected].
f) Right to data portability
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator, to receive the personal data
concerning him or her, which was provided to a controller, in a structured, commonly used and machinereadable format. He or she shall have the right to transmit those data to another controller without
hindrance from the controller to which the personal data have been provided, as long as the processing
is based on consent pursuant to point (a) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR or point (a) of Article 9(2) of the
GDPR, or on a contract pursuant to point (b) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR, and the processing is carried
out by automated means, as long as the processing is not necessary for the performance of a task carried
out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.
Furthermore, in exercising his or her right to data portability pursuant to Article 20(1) of the GDPR, the
data subject shall have the right to have personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another,

to his or her particular situation, at any time, to processing of personal data concerning him or her, which
is based on point (e) or (f) of Article 6(1) of the GDPR. This also applies to profiling based on these
provisions.
REGATE SA shall no longer process the personal data in the event of the objection, unless we can
demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override the interests, rights and
freedoms of the data subject, or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
If REGATE SA processes personal data for direct marketing purposes, the data subject shall have the
right to object at any time to processing of personal data concerning him or her for such marketing. This
applies to profiling to the extent that it is related to such direct marketing. If the data subject objects to
REGATE SA to the processing for direct marketing purposes, REGATE SA will no longer process the
personal data for these purposes.
In addition, the data subject has the right, on grounds relating to his or her particular situation, to object
to processing of personal data concerning him or her by REGATE SA for scientific or historical research
purposes, or for statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) of the GDPR, unless the processing is
necessary for the performance of a task carried out for reasons of public interest.
In order to exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact any employee of REGATE SA. In
addition, the data subject is free in the context of the use of information society services, and
notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to use his or her right to object by automated means using
technical specifications.
All requests regarding the Rights of the data subject should be addressed at [email protected].
h) Automated individual decision-making, including profiling
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator not to be subject to a decision
based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him
or her, or similarly significantly affects him or her, as long as the decision (1) is not is necessary for
entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and a data controller, or (2) is
not authorised by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which also lays down
suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is
not based on the data subject’s explicit consent.
If the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject
and a data controller, or (2) it is based on the data subject’s explicit consent, REGATE SA shall implement
suitable measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, at least
the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and
contest the decision.
If the data subject wishes to exercise the rights concerning automated individual decision-making, he or
she may, at any time, contact any employee of REGATE SA.
All requests regarding the Rights of the data subject should be addressed at [email protected].
i) Right to withdraw data protection consent
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to withdraw his or her consent
to processing of his or her personal data at any time.
If the data subject wishes to exercise the right to withdraw the consent, he or she may, at any time, contact
any employee of REGATE SA.
All requests regarding the Rights of the data subject should be addressed at [email protected]. - Data protection for applications and the application procedures
The data controller shall collect and process the personal data of applicants for the purpose of the
processing of the application procedure. The processing may also be carried out electronically. This is
the case, in particular, if an applicant submits corresponding application documents by e-mail or by means
of a web form on the website to the controller. If the data controller concludes an employment contract
with an applicant, the submitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment
relationship in compliance with legal requirements. If no employment contract is concluded with the
applicant by the controller, the application documents shall be automatically erased two months after
notification of the refusal decision, provided that no other legitimate interests of the controller are opposed
to the erasure. Other legitimate interest in this relation is, e.g. a burden of proof in a procedure under the
General Equal Treatment Act (AGG). - Data protection provisions about the application and use of Facebook
On this website, the controller has integrated components of the Social Network namely Facebook.
A social network is a place for social meetings on the Internet, an online community, which usually allows
users to communicate with each other and interact in a virtual space. A social network may serve as a
platform for the exchange of opinions and experiences, or enable the Internet community to provide
personal or business-related information. Each Social Media Network allows its users to include the
creation of private profiles, upload photos, and network through friend requests.
With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet website, which is operated by the controller
and into which a Facebook component (typically plug-in) was integrated, the web browser on the
information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted to download display of the
corresponding Facebook component. An overview of all the Facebook Plug-ins may be accessed at the
Facebook website. During the course of this technical procedure, Facebook is made aware of what
specific sub-site of our website was visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is logged in at the same time on Facebook, this detects with every call-up to our website
by the data subject—and for the entire duration of their stay on our Internet site—which specific sub-site
of our Internet page was visited by the data subject. This information is collected through the Facebook
component and associated with the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject
clicks on one of the Facebook buttons integrated into our website, e.g. the “Like” button, or if the data
subject submits a comment, then Facebook matches this information with the personal Facebook user
account of the data subject and stores the personal data.
The data protection guideline published Facebook used by Regate SA, can be found the Facebook
website, and we advise you to read it carefully, before connecting, partnering or in any other way
integrating your profile with our company profile in Facebook. - Google Analytics and Advertising
13.1 Data protection provisions about the application and use of Google Analytics (with anonymization
function)
On all Regate Websites, the controller has integrated the component of Google Analytics (with the
anonymizer function). Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection,
gathering, and analysis of data about the behaviour of visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects,
inter alia, data about the website from which a person has come (the so-called referrer), which sub-pages
were visited, or how often and for what duration a sub-page was viewed. Web analytics are mainly used
for the optimization of a website and in order to carry out a cost-benefit analysis of Internet advertising.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyse the traffic on our website. Google uses the
collected data and information, inter alia, to evaluate the use of our website and to provide online reports,
which show the activities on our websites, and to provide other services concerning the use of our Internet
site for us.
Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. The definition
of cookies is explained above. With the setting of the cookie, Google is enabled to analyse the use of our
website. With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet site, which is operated by the
controller and into which a Google Analytics component was integrated, the Internet browser on the
information technology system of the data subject will automatically submit data through the Google
Analytics component for the purpose of online advertising and the settlement of commissions to Google.
During the course of this technical procedure, the enterprise Google gains knowledge of personal
information, such as the IP address of the data subject, which serves Google, inter alia, to understand
the origin of visitors and clicks, and subsequently create commission settlements.
The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the access time, the location from which the
access was made, and the frequency of visits of our website by the data subject. With each visit to our
Internet site, such personal data, including the IP address of the Internet access used by the data subject,
will be transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored by Google
in the United States of America. Google may pass these personal data collected through the technical
procedure to third parties.
The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by
means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of
cookies. Such an adjustment to the Internet browser used would also prevent Google Analytics from
setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, cookies already in
use by Google Analytics may be deleted at any time via a web browser or other software programs.
In addition, the data subject has the possibility of objecting to a collection of data that are generated by
Google Analytics, which is related to the use of this website, as well as the processing of this data by
Google and the chance to preclude any such. For this purpose, the data subject must download the
Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on (typically but not exclusively found under the link
https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout), and install it. This browser add-on tells Google Analytics
through a JavaScript, that any data and information about the visits of Internet pages may not be
transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-ons is considered an objection by
Google. If the information technology system of the data subject is later deleted, formatted, or newly
installed, then the data subject must reinstall the browser add-ons to disable Google Analytics. If the
browser add-on was uninstalled by the data subject or any other person who is attributable to their sphere
of competence, or is disabled, it is possible to execute the reinstallation or reactivation of the browser
add-ons.
Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google are found on Google’s
websites, and the data subject should address them.
13.2 Data protection provisions about the application and use of Google Remarketing
On all Regate Websites, the controller has integrated Google Remarketing services. Google Remarketing
is a feature of Google Ads, which allows an enterprise to display advertising to Internet users who have
previously resided on the enterprise’s Internet site. The integration of Google Remarketing therefore
allows an enterprise to create user-based advertising and thus shows relevant advertisements to
interested Internet users.
The operating company of the Google Remarketing services is the Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy,
Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, United States.
The purpose of Google Remarketing is the insertion of interest-relevant advertising. Google Remarketing
allows us to display ads on the Google network or on other websites, which are based on individual needs
and matched to the interests of Internet users.
Google Remarketing sets a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. The
definition of cookies is explained above. With the setting of the cookie, Google enables a recognition of
the visitor of our website if he calls up consecutive web pages, which are also a member of the Google
advertising network. With each call-up to an Internet site on which the service has been integrated by
Google Remarketing, the web browser of the data subject identifies automatically with Google. During the
course of this technical procedure, Google receives personal information, such as the IP address or the
surfing behaviour of the user, which Google uses, inter alia, for the insertion of interest relevant
advertising.
The cookie is used to store personal information, e.g. the Internet pages visited by the data subject. Each
time we visit our Internet pages, personal data, including the IP address of the Internet access used by
the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are stored
by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass these personal data collected through the
technical procedure to third parties.
The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time by
means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of
cookies. Such an adjustment to the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a
cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, cookies already in use by
Google may be deleted at any time via a web browser or other software programs.
In addition, the data subject has the possibility of objecting to the interest-based advertising by Google.
For this purpose, the data subject must call up the link to www.google.de/settings/ads and make the
desired settings on each Internet browser used by the data subject.
Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google are found on Google’s
websites, and the data subject should address them. - Data protection provisions about the application and use of Google+
On this website, the controller has integrated the Google+ button as a component. Google+ is a so-called
social network. A social network is a social meeting place on the Internet, an online community, which
usually allows users to communicate with each other and interact in a virtual space. A social network may
serve as a platform for the exchange of opinions and experiences, or enable the Internet community to
provide personal or business-related information. Google+ allows users of the social network to include
the creation of private profiles, upload photos and network through friend requests.
The operating company of Google+ is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-
1351, UNITED STATES.
With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and
on which a Google+ button has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology
system of the data subject automatically downloads a display of the corresponding Google+ button of
Google through the respective Google+ button component. During the course of this technical procedure,
Google is made aware of what specific sub-page of our website was visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is logged in at the same time to Google+, Google recognizes with each call-up to our
website by the data subject and for the entire duration of his or her stay on our Internet site, which specific
sub-pages of our Internet page were visited by the data subject. This information is collected through the
Google+ button and Google matches this with the respective Google+ account associated with the data
subject.
If the data subject clicks on the Google+ button integrated on our website and thus gives a Google+ 1
recommendation, then Google assigns this information to the personal Google+ user account of the data
subject and stores the personal data. Google stores the Google+ 1 recommendation of the data subject,
making it publicly available in accordance with the terms and conditions accepted by the data subject in
this regard. Subsequently, a Google+ 1 recommendation given by the data subject on this website
together with other personal data, such as the Google+ account name used by the data subject and the
stored photo, is stored and processed on other Google services, such as search-engine results of the
Google search engine, the Google account of the data subject or in other places, e.g. on Internet pages,
or in relation to advertisements. Google is also able to link the visit to this website with other personal
data stored on Google. Google further records this personal information with the purpose of improving or
optimizing the various Google services.
Through the Google+ button, Google receives information that the data subject visited our website, if the
data subject at the time of the call-up to our website is logged in to Google+. This occurs regardless of
whether the data subject clicks or doesn’t click on the Google+ button.
If the data subject does not wish to transmit personal data to Google, he or she may prevent such
transmission by logging out of his Google+ account before calling up our website.
The data protection guideline published Google+ used by Regate SA, can be found the Google+ website,
and we advise you to read it carefully, before connecting, partnering or in any other way integrating your
profile with our company profile in Google+. - Data protection provisions about the application and use of Google Ads
On this website, the controller has integrated Google Ads. Google Ads is a service for Internet advertising
that allows the advertiser to place ads in Google search engine results and the Google advertising
network. Google Ads allows an advertiser to pre-define specific keywords with the help of which an ad on
Google’s search results only then displayed, when the user utilizes the search engine to retrieve a
keyword-relevant search result. In the Google Advertising Network, the ads are distributed on relevant
web pages using an automatic algorithm, taking into account the previously defined keywords.
The operating company of Google Ads is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA
94043-1351, UNITED STATES.
The purpose of Google Ads is the promotion of our website by the inclusion of relevant advertising on the
websites of third parties and in the search engine results of the search engine Google and an insertion of
third-party advertising on our website.
If a data subject reaches our website via a Google ad, a conversion cookie is filed on the information
technology system of the data subject through Google. The definition of cookies is explained above. A
conversion cookie loses its validity after 30 days and is not used to identify the data subject. If the cookie
has not expired, the conversion cookie is used to check whether certain sub-pages, e.g., the shopping
cart from an online shop system, were called up on our website. Through the conversion cookie, both
Google and the controller can understand whether a person who reached a Google Ads ad on our website
generated sales, that is, executed or cancelled a sale of goods.
The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie is used by Google to create
visit statistics for our website. These visit statistics are used in order to determine the total number of
users who have been served through Google Ads advertisements to ascertain the success or failure of
each Google Ads ad and to optimize our Google Ads advertisements in the future. Neither our company
nor other Google Ads advertisers receive information from Google that could identify the data subject.
The conversion cookie stores personal information, e.g. the Internet pages visited by the data subject.
Each time we visit our Internet pages, personal data, including the IP address of the Internet access used
by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data are
stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass these personal data collected through
the technical procedure to third parties.
The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies by our website, as stated above, by
means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently deny the setting of
cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from placing a conversion
cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie set by Google Ads
may be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.
The data subject has a possibility of objecting to the interest-based advertisement of Google.
The data protection guideline published Google Ads used by Regate SA, can be found the Google Ads
website, and we advise you to read it carefully, before connecting, partnering or in any other way
integrating your profile with our company profile in Google Ads. - Data protection provisions about the application and use of LinkedIn
The controller has integrated components of the LinkedIn Corporation on this website. LinkedIn is a webbased social network that enables users with existing business contacts to connect and to make new
business contacts. Over 400 million registered people in more than 200 countries use LinkedIn. Thus,
LinkedIn is currently the largest platform for business contacts and one of the most visited websites in the
world.
The operating company of LinkedIn is LinkedIn Corporation, 2029 Stierlin Court Mountain View, CA
94043, UNITED STATES. For privacy matters outside of the UNITED STATES LinkedIn Ireland, Privacy
Policy Issues, Wilton Plaza, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland, is responsible.
With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet site, which is operated by the controller
and on which a LinkedIn component (LinkedIn plug-in) was integrated, the Internet browser on the
information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted to the download of a display
of the corresponding LinkedIn component of LinkedIn. During the course of this technical procedure,
LinkedIn gains knowledge of what specific sub-page of our website was visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is logged in at the same time on LinkedIn, LinkedIn detects with every call-up to our
website by the data subject—and for the entire duration of their stay on our Internet site—which specific
sub-page of our Internet page was visited by the data subject. This information is collected through the
LinkedIn component and associated with the respective LinkedIn account of the data subject. If the data
subject clicks on one of the LinkedIn buttons integrated on our website, then LinkedIn assigns this
information to the personal LinkedIn user account of the data subject and stores the personal data.
LinkedIn receives information via the LinkedIn component that the data subject has visited our website,
provided that the data subject is logged in at LinkedIn at the time of the call-up to our website. This occurs
regardless of whether the person clicks on the LinkedIn button or not. If such a transmission of information
to LinkedIn is not desirable for the data subject, then he or she may prevent this by logging off from their
LinkedIn account before a call-up to our website is made.
LinkedIn provides under the possibility to unsubscribe from e-mail messages, SMS messages and
targeted ads, as well as the ability to manage ad settings. LinkedIn also uses affiliates such as Eire,
Google Analytics, BlueKai, DoubleClick, Nielsen, Comscore, Eloqua, and Lotame. The setting of such
cookies may be denied under LinkedIn cookie policy, and we advise you to read it carefully. - Data protection provisions about the application and use of Twitter
On this website, the controller has integrated components of Twitter. Twitter is a multilingual, publiclyaccessible microblogging service on which users may publish and spread so-called ‘tweets,’ e.g. short
messages, which are limited to 140 characters. These short messages are available for everyone,
including those who are not logged on to Twitter. The tweets are also displayed to so-called followers of
the respective user. Followers are other Twitter users who follow a user’s tweets. Furthermore, Twitter
allows you to address a wide audience via hashtags, links or retweets.
The operating company of Twitter is Twitter, Inc., 1355 Market Street, Suite 900, San Francisco, CA
94103, UNITED STATES.
With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet site, which is operated by the controller
and on which a Twitter component (Twitter button) was integrated, the Internet browser on the information
technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted to download a display of the
corresponding Twitter component of Twitter. During the course of this technical procedure, Twitter gains
knowledge of what specific sub-page of our website was visited by the data subject. The purpose of the
integration of the Twitter component is a retransmission of the contents of this website to allow our users
to introduce this web page to the digital world and increase our visitor numbers.
If the data subject is logged in at the same time on Twitter, Twitter detects with every call-up to our website
by the data subject and for the entire duration of their stay on our Internet site which specific sub-page of
our Internet page was visited by the data subject. This information is collected through the Twitter
component and associated with the respective Twitter account of the data subject. If the data subject
clicks on one of the Twitter buttons integrated on our website, then Twitter assigns this information to the
personal Twitter user account of the data subject and stores the personal data.
Twitter receives information via the Twitter component that the data subject has visited our website,
provided that the data subject is logged in on Twitter at the time of the call-up to our website. This occurs
regardless of whether the person clicks on the Twitter component or not. If such a transmission of
information to Twitter is not desirable for the data subject, then he or she may prevent this by logging off
from their Twitter account before a call-up to our website is made.

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 are
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 precontractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries concerning our products or services. In rare
cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject
or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company
and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a
doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on Art. 6(1) lit. d GDPR. 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 company or by a third party, except where such
interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject which
require protection of personal data. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because they
have been specifically mentioned by the European legislator. He considered that a legitimate interest
could be assumed if the data subject is a client of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR). - The legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party
Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR our legitimate interest is to
carry out our business in favour of the well-being of all our employees and the shareholders. - 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 fulfilment of the contract or the initiation of a contract. - Provision of personal data as statutory or contractual requirement; Requirement necessary to
enter into a contract; Obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible
consequences of failure to provide such data
We clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also
result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be
necessary to conclude a contract that the data subject provides us with personal data, which must
subsequently be processed by us. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with personal
data when our company signs a contract with him or her. The non-provision of the personal data would
have the consequence that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before personal
data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact any employee. The employee clarifies
to the data subject whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary
for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and the
consequences of non-provision of the personal data. - Existence of automated decision-making
As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.
