Privacy Policy

Privacy policy according to Art. 13 of Regulation (EU) 2016/679 (GDPR)
We hereby inform you that personal data collected or to be collected by PGUM GmbH as the “Controller,” from the data subject or via third parties, e.g., public databases, company registers, the internet, and other companies, will be processed in accordance with legal requirements and while safeguarding the rights to which you – hereinafter the “data subject” – are entitled. If you are a natural person or a sole proprietorship, the personal data relates directly to your organization. In the case of a corporation or a public or private institution, the corresponding information may relate to natural persons who represent your organization, belong to it, or are connected to it in any way.

1. A) Method of Processing

Processing may include the following operations: collection of data (by telephone, telematically, in writing, from public registers, from lists of legal acts and documents or public or private databases (business information companies), from homepages of public or private institutions, or from other customers or suppliers), recording, organization, storage, and processing in paper form, on magnetic data carriers, automated or telematic data carriers, processing of data collected by third parties, modification, selection, extraction, comparison, use, linking also with data of other persons based on qualitative, quantitative, and temporal criteria used or defined on a case-by-case basis, temporary processing for the purpose of rapid aggregation or transformation of data, making decisions at one’s own discretion (never fully automated), creation of profiles and information letters, communication, erasure, and destruction of data, or the combination of at least two of the aforementioned operations.

Furthermore, the Controller has appointed at least one external processor or internal processing officer. The company’s internal authorized representatives from the purchasing, administration, IT, marketing, sales, etc. departments belong to the functionally relevant business units and must process the data for the purposes stated in this privacy policy.

Processing is monitored by adequate technical and organizational protective measures, including electronic archives protected by authentication certificates, regularly updated access rights that apply exclusively to authorized profiles, firewalls, virus protection, spam protection, backup systems, and data recovery after any incidents, as well as maintenance services.

1. B) Purpose of Processing

The purpose of processing is:

• the fulfillment of pre-contractual requirements (e.g., information on our offers and your orders, credit checks);
  the fulfillment of contractual obligations (e.g., delivery of goods or services, including the associated handover, logistics, and transport tasks) as well as legal obligations (e.g., accounting, tax formalities, administration, and financial accounting, etc.);
  the management of customers and suppliers concerning aspects not listed in point 1) or 2) (internal organization of activities associated with the active and passive delivery of products or services, including credit management and risk control (fraud, insolvency, etc.), handling of disputes, and assignment of credits; management of financial and insurance services fundamental to the management of suppliers and management of electronic means of payment; production management, management of telephone directories, statistical processing);
  direct marketing – this purpose exclusively concerns our customers – i.e., the transmission of business information and advertising or direct offers for goods and services by email, fax, SMS, telephone, or via social networks or market research.

1. C) Legal Basis for Processing

The legal basis for processing is that it is necessary i) for the performance of a contract to which you are a party or to take pre-contractual measures resulting from your request (e.g., request for information or offers) or ii) to comply with a legal obligation to which PGUM GmbH is subject. In any case, it is the legitimate interest of our company to manage the relationship with our customers or suppliers efficiently and expediently through the processing of data and to manage the associated internal and external organizational processes (e.g., management of relationships with any of our own subcontractors, which are fundamental to fulfilling the data subject’s request). Your explicit consent is required exclusively for data processing for direct marketing purposes.

1. D) Disclosure of Data

Subject to the communication of data to third parties due to legal requirements, obligations of another nature resulting from regulations and/or other EU provisions, or based on requests from courts or other third parties who have a recognized right to it based on the mentioned regulations, the data may be communicated to the following categories of third-party recipients:

• Banks and credit institutions for the purpose of payment processing;
• Insurance companies: debt collection companies, factoring companies, leasing companies, insurance and credit underwriting companies, credit unions (exclusively for the purpose of securing credit and better safeguarding our rights in the respective business relationship);
• Business information companies;
• Consultants;
• Professionals and professional offices (lawyers, auditors, supervisory boards, members of supervisory bodies according to Legislative Decree 231/2001, etc.);
• Auditors;
• Members of supervisory bodies according to Legislative Decree 231/2001 (if present);
• Persons who provide maintenance services or IT support for our database systems or IT services;
• Freight forwarders, transport companies, and courier services;
  other suppliers or subcontractors (when it concerns data of customers or suppliers) or customers (when it concerns data of suppliers or subcontractors); other companies, institutions, or natural persons who perform functionally relevant activities, support activities, or such activities that are fundamental for the execution of the contract concluded with you or the services requested by you (e.g., enveloping and mail sorting companies);
  public bodies.
  The Controller has appointed all categories of third-party recipients to whom it transfers the data as external processors, unless they themselves become independent controllers within the meaning of the applicable legislation.

1. E) Transfer of Data Abroad

If announced in advance by the services offered, the Controller could use “Microsoft Azure” cloud services. This would mean the transfer of data abroad.

With regard to such transfer(s), the Controller informs as follows:

The “Microsoft Azure” cloud solution is based on an adequacy decision by the Article 29 Working Party, which confirms equivalence with the security standards approved by the EU Commission.

1. F) Mandatory and Optional Consent and Consequences of Not Granting Authorization

Your consent is not required for the direct processing of data for the purposes listed under letter B) points 1 to 3. For data processing for the purposes named under letter B) point 4 (direct marketing), the data subject can refuse their consent without restriction. However, failure to provide consent makes it impossible to process the data due to the limited purposes. You can revoke any consent given to us at any later time by an informal communication to our company by sending an email to the address listed below.

1. G) Duration of Data Storage

Normally, the data is processed for the entire duration of the contract concluded with the data subject and subsequently stored only as long as our legal requirements necessitate (10 years). To the extent that personal data is processed for the purpose of IT security (e.g., log registrations for transactions or decisions made online on our website), it is stored as long as necessary so that the corresponding security checks can be carried out and their results documented (usually one year after collection). Should disputes arise with the data subject or third parties, the data will be processed for the strictly necessary period so that the exercise of PGUM GmbH’s rights is fully protected.

1. H) The Controller

The controller for the processing of your personal data is PGUM GmbH, with its registered office in Italy, Via Vecchia 18/C, 39040 Ora (BZ).

1. I) Rights

With regard to the processing of personal data, you can exercise the rights listed below by sending our company an informal email to the address mentioned above:

• the processing is unlawful (e.g., if the data subject has not received the legally prescribed privacy policy) and the data subject refuses the erasure of the personal data (if they prefer that it be kept by us in paper form in our files or IT archives) and instead demands the restriction of the use of the personal data;
• our company no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but the data subject needs it to assert, exercise, or defend legal claims;
  the data subject has objected to processing for the purpose of direct marketing, as long as it has not yet been determined whether our company’s legitimate grounds outweigh those of the data subject;
  To receive information from our company upon request about the third-party recipients to whom the personal data is transferred;
• To revoke consent to data processing at any time that was previously granted for one or more specific purposes for one’s own personal data, which, however, does not affect the lawfulness of the processing based on the consent granted before the revocation;

PGUM GmbH

PRIVACY POLICY FOR OUR WEBSITE
1. Purpose and principles of data processing: In order to comply with the obligations from Articles 13-14 of the EU General Data Protection Regulation 679/2016 (GDPR), it is set out here in what way the website www.i-vertix.com processes personal data of users who visit the website and how they interact with the web services accessible telematically via the website.

We hereby inform you that www.i-vertix.com uses your personal data to manage access to the portal and the associated services as well as technical procedures. In this way, all actions necessary and useful for the constant improvement of services can be carried out and, in the case of criminal offenses committed against the website or offenses directed against it, it can be determined who is liable. Other specific purposes with regard to individual data processing operations may be determined by additional information letters for the various services included in the portal.

Visiting the website may involve the processing of data of identified or identifiable persons. The personal data provided by website visitors, i.e., users, is processed by the information recipient to enable processing of the requests received.

Navigation Data

The IT systems and software procedures underlying the function of this website come into possession of some personal data through their normal workflows, the transmission of which is associated with the use of internet communication protocols.

This is not information collected to assign it to identified data subjects. Rather, due to its nature, it would be possible to identify users through processing and linking with data in the possession of third parties. This category of data includes IP addresses and domain names of the computer used by the user to visit the website, addresses of the corresponding resources according to the URI scheme (Uniform Resource Identifier), time of the query, method with which the query goes to the server, size of the response file, numerical key that provides information about the status of the server response (successful, error, etc.), and other parameters of the operating system and the user’s computer environment. This data is used solely to obtain anonymized statistical information on website usage. In this way, the technical functionality of the website is guaranteed, smooth operation is checked, and maintenance of the corresponding database is ensured. In these cases, it is not possible to identify the users concerned via the navigation data. These are deleted immediately after anonymized processing.

Navigation data can also be used to determine who is responsible in the event of any criminal offenses committed against the homepage or via the website.

Data Provided by the User

This type of data includes:

addresses provided optionally and voluntarily by the user on the website (e.g., email address, subject of the email, company name, first name, and last name, etc.);
personal data provided by the user with which they can use the services available on the homepage or participate in activities offered via the website;
personal data provided by the user that goes beyond requesting news or information material;
personal data provided by the user concerning the sending of applications (CV, etc.).
Processing includes the recording of data (e.g., collection of the sender’s email address, which is required to answer their requests) and, if applicable, other personal data entered and other actions.

Data processing takes place with or without electronic means and is based on the principles of correctness, lawfulness, and transparency, so that the confidentiality and rights of the data subject are maintained at all times in accordance with the provisions of the applicable regulation.

The purpose of processing is to fulfill any requests from the user for the sending of information material (reports, newsletters, mailing lists, answering questions, notifications, documents and orders, other documentation, etc.) or to provide the user with the service they desire. The data is only communicated to third parties if this is necessary to meet the corresponding requests or to fulfill the obligations incumbent on the website operator according to the applicable regulations.

After termination of any contractual relationship entered into between the operator and the data subject, the personal data is also processed to fulfill the legal obligations associated with or resulting from the termination of the contractual relationship.

In these cases, consent to data processing is given on a voluntary basis. However, if the user does not give their consent, the website operator may not be able to fulfill the request addressed to them by the user or provide the desired services.

2. If explicit consent is given (referring to the corresponding online form or the paper version), the data collected by us will furthermore be used for commercial and advertising purposes, for marketing measures, the sending of advertising material, and for carrying out market studies using any means of communication (mail, email, telephone, SMS, MMS, social networks, etc.). Such consent is always voluntary. If this is not present, it does not mean that the user cannot use any desired services, but it merely means that the website operator may not use the data for these specific purposes.
3. Data processing persons: The collected data is processed by appropriately authorized employees of PGUM GmbH, to whom it must be known within the scope of their activities (e.g., sales department, marketing department, administration, call center, employees for technical maintenance of the company’s IT system, etc.).

In accordance with the applicable standards, the data may also be communicated to factoring companies, debt collection companies, credit insurance companies, providers of business information, and sales companies for the exercise of the activities incumbent on them (e.g., order processing, contract activation, after-sales support). The same applies to transport companies, credit institutions for processing incoming and outgoing payments, as well as third parties commissioned with the execution of activities associated with processing or conducive to it (including debt collection companies, credit insurance companies, lawyers and law firms, tax consultants, auditors, statutory auditors and auditing firms, members of the supervisory body according to Legislative Decree 231/2001, supervisory boards, or third parties commissioned with carrying out maintenance measures on the IT system or on the electronic archives connected to the website). Only in the event that processing is carried out for purposes of direct marketing, profiling, or customer loyalty, the data – after prior granting of consent (cf. the special section of this privacy policy) – can also be transmitted to advertising companies, web marketing firms, consultants, and specialists to whom PGUM GmbH has transferred functional activities in the implementation of such purposes. In accordance with legal obligations, the data is also transmitted to authorities and public administrations. Said third parties will then process the data as external processors or independent controllers.

The data will not be disseminated.

4. The logic and nature of the processing organization are closely linked to the respective purposes listed above. The processing operations take place electronically, telematically, or in paper form. During processing, the data is subject to security measures activated by PGUM GmbH to protect it against unauthorized access or inadmissible processing. For example, electronically managed personal data can only be viewed with the corresponding access to the various data processing or data entry programs and by entering a mandatory personal password. This is available exclusively to authorized personnel of PGUM GmbH, who must also adhere to certain usage restrictions.

The company’s authorized representatives from administration, human resources, IT maintenance, marketing department, etc. belong to the functionally relevant business units and must process the data for the purposes stated in this privacy policy.

PGUM GmbH has also appointed all groups of external employees to whom the company must communicate the data for the aforementioned purposes as processors (even if these externals do not immediately become independent controllers due to the independent management incumbent on them within the framework of processing). A current list of processors can be requested at the request of the data subject.

5. Personal data is generally processed for the entire term of the contract with the data subject and subsequently only as long as is necessary to fulfill legal requirements (10 years). After termination of any contractual relationship entered into between the operator and the data subject, the personal data is also processed to fulfill all obligations associated with the termination of the contractual relationship. The data is stored only as long as the legal obligations, the respective tasks, or the aforementioned purposes provide for and to prove fulfillment of the same to the control authorities (usually up to 10 years after the end of the contract). They are then destroyed. Certain data (e.g., first and last name, company name, VAT identification number, tax number, email address, telephone, mobile and fax number, certified email address (PEC), business address, names of internal contact persons or contact persons, etc.) are also stored beyond the ten-year period mentioned above, for as long as it is useful for the legitimate interest of the processor in relation to rationalization in the selection of business contacts with users, customers, or suppliers. Conversely, personal data processed for reasons of IT security (e.g., log registrations) is stored as long as is necessary for the implementation of the corresponding security checks and the evaluation of results – normally a maximum of one year from the time of collection. Should extrajudicial or judicial disputes arise with the data subject or third parties, the data will be processed for the strictly necessary period so that the rights of the controller are fully protected.

Further information on the storage duration of data collected through cookies can be found in the “Cookie Policy” section.

6. The legal basis for processing is, depending on the individual case, Article 6(b) of EU Regulation 679/2016, GDPR (the data subject has explicitly and after being informed given their consent to processing for a specific purpose and has not subsequently revoked it), Article 6(b) of the GDPR (processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party or to take pre-contractual measures at the request of the data subject, e.g., requests for information or offers), Article 6(c) of the GDPR (processing is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which the controller is subject), or Article 6(f) of the GDPR (processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller 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). It is primarily in the legitimate interest of the controller i) to be able to process the data in order to manage relationships with its own users, customers, or suppliers effectively and efficiently and to carry out the corresponding internal operational organizational and administrative processes and ii) in the case of processing for profiling, direct marketing, and customer loyalty purposes, to promote its own products or services with online and offline measures for the customer target group. The legitimate interest of third parties, on the other hand, is to receive personal data from the controller and to process it for the purpose of checking the proper fulfillment of legal and contractual obligations towards the data subject and third parties (e.g., checking compliance with tax obligations by public authorities, checking legal obligations by the supervisory board or auditors, etc.) or to receive data from the controller and process the personal data themselves and thus meet the controller’s demand for support in carrying out activities towards the data subjects.
7. Cookie Policy

With the regulation of May 8, 2014, and its final entry into force on June 2, 2015, the Data Protection Authority implemented European Regulation 2009/136/EC, which requires website operators to provide appropriate information about the cookie policy of the homepage used by visitors.

These guidelines can be updated at any time if the applicable regulation changes or if there are changes to the configuration and type of cookies used. We therefore recommend checking the cookie policy regularly so that you are informed about subsequent adjustments.

The website may possibly be linked to other homepages that in turn have their own privacy policies. These may differ from those underlying the SEO positioning of our website and therefore do not include liability for these homepages.

What are cookies and how are they used?

Cookies are short sequences of information (text files) relating to the user’s activities on the web and which are stored on their device (computer, smartphone, or tablet) when they first visit a website. Later, during a further visit by the same user, they are then transmitted again to these same websites. This allows the page to automatically recognize the user after their first visit (or other users using the same device) and improve their user experience.

Cookies function entirely independently of the web browser the user uses and can be allowed or not allowed by the user themselves.

To ensure optimal navigation on our homepage at all times, our website offers optimal performance with allowed cookies. By default, almost all web browsers are set to accept cookies automatically.

These can be the following types of cookies:

HTTP cookies, if these are managed directly by the website operator;
third-party cookies, if the cookies are created on the website visited by the user and are managed by external controllers.
Third-party cookies are the direct and exclusive responsibility of the administrator; the website operator itself merely assumes the role of a technical intermediary with regard to their installation.

Cookies used by us and their purpose
The following cookies are used by the website or can be used in combined form:

Persistent cookies or permanent cookies: These cookies are stored and remain on the device even after leaving the website and closing the browser, until they have expired or are manually removed by the user. Persistent cookies improve functionality for the website visitor (for example, by storing passwords), but can also be used for advertising purposes in some cases.
Session cookies (or temporary cookies): These are cookies whose duration is limited only to the respective visit and which are deleted by closing the browser and corresponding termination of the session. Normally, they offer the user personalized services and full use of the website functions. In this way, it is not necessary to resort to other IT procedures that might impair the privacy of users while browsing.

Technical-functional cookies, for example for transmitting session data, are required to enable safe and efficient navigation on the website. Such cookies ensure that it is not necessary to resort to other IT procedures that might impair the privacy of users while browsing.
For the use of technical cookies, the law only provides for an obligation to inform the data subject, as is also done with this information, but not the use of special banners on the website.

For all non-technical cookies, on the other hand, the applicable regulation stipulates that their storage is dependent on prior consent, which can be given in simplified form according to the regulation of the Data Protection Authority of May 8, 2014, namely by displaying a banner visible to the user when they first visit the website. This banner is intended to prompt the website user to take an action (based on scrolling or further browsing on the same website) with which they implicitly give their consent or are otherwise redirected to the detailed cookie policy (i.e., to these provisions), where they can express the required personal consent or rejection. This granted or non-granted consent cannot be formulated by the user in relation to individual installed cookies, but with regard to broader cookie categories or specific manufacturers or intermediaries with whom the website has business relationships.

Analytical cookies (also “Analytics”): These can be both temporary and permanent cookies with which statistical information on access (e.g., geographical origin of the user, device used, age, etc.) and in general on user behavior on the website can be collected and analyzed in aggregated or disaggregated form. In this way, it is possible to improve the user experience and the content provided.
Technical cookies can only assimilate these analytical cookies if they are realized and used directly by the website itself (i.e., without the involvement of third parties). The website uses, for example, log files (records, for example, the sequence of transactions while they are being carried out) and protocol files (they include IP addresses, browser type, operating system used on the user device, internet service provider (ISP), date, time, entry and exit pages, number of clicks, but also pages visited on the website and homepages of third parties from which the user originally comes). All this serves to analyze the behavioral tendencies of users as well as to manage and optimize the website. The information collected in this way has no person-specific significance, as the data is collected and analyzed in anonymized form.

However, if the analytical cookies are executed or used by third parties (i.e., not by the website operator itself), technical cookies cannot assimilate them, and they are subject to other legal provisions.

Profiling cookies (or advertising cookies): These are always persistent cookies used to obtain aggregated or non-aggregated information that helps assess use of the website and the actions performed by the visitor (choices made when viewing different pages, specific products and/or services). These cookies are used by the Data Controller to place targeted commercial advertising for products and services based on the user’s previous actions (instead of generic advertising that would be identical for every user).
List of cookies on this website

These preliminary notes do not mean that this website currently uses all the cookie categories listed above. Please refer to the following list for the cookies actually used by PGUM GmbH.

Cookie name

Session cookie/persistent cookie

Function (technical, analytics, advertising)

The website also uses Google Analytics cookies (cookies from Google Inc., a US third-party provider). Please note that Google Analytics functions do not collect exclusively personal data, but only statistically aggregated information—generally data on the age, preferences and interests of our website visitors—so that use of our website and the actions performed by the visitor can be better assessed and the services offered can be optimally tailored. These cookies are stored on servers that may be located in the U.S.A. or in other countries. Google reserves the right to transfer the information collected with its cookies to third parties where required by law or where such third parties process the data on Google’s behalf.

The “Analytics” function is therefore configured by PGUM GmbH by default so that parts of the user’s/visitor’s IP address are masked. As a result, the IP address data collected in this way is anonymized from the outset and the analytics cookies cannot under any circumstances access the identity of the user/visitor—not even indirectly, for example through further processing procedures. For this reason, PGUM GmbH, as the operator of the website, is not required to comply with the obligations and requirements of the legal provisions on cookies (e.g., notification regarding the processing of cookies to the Data Protection Authority).

Should PGUM GmbH decide in the future to change the configuration of the “Analytics” functions so that the collection of user data derived from the last three digits of the IP address is permitted, the Data Controller must notify the Data Protection Authority in advance of this decision concerning the portal or website, in order to protect the user.

You are hereby informed that Google also assures that it does not use the user’s IP address to create a detailed user profile and therefore does not link it with other data held by Google.

No named profiling cookies are used on this page, i.e., no data based on personal identification.

Our website uses neither remarketing lists nor ads in the display network, i.e., no online ads that are based thematically on the previously shown internet browsing behavior of user groups.

Without prejudice to the general applicability of the above, our website does not use the special advertising features of Google Analytics that enable the activation of additional features not present through standard implementations of Google Analytics and the corresponding cookies.

In addition to the data normally collected by us with the standard implementation of Google Analytics, such advertising features—if present—also allow the collection of traffic data (using Google advertising cookies and anonymized identifiers). Google Analytics advertising features include the following:

Remarketing with Google Analytics
Google Display Network Impression Reporting (if AdWords is used)
Integration with the DoubleClick platform
Google Analytics Demographics and Interests Reporting
More information about usage-based online advertising and some recommendations on possible measures, in particular to disable the display of ads based on online interests, can be found here: http://www.youronlinechoices.eu/de

Social cookies: These are third-party cookies that come directly from the domains of the main social networks and are linked to our website via a link to official pages and buttons for sharing content and links. The use of such buttons and functions involves the exchange of information with the respective websites (e.g., texts, photos, videos, etc.).
The management of information and the conditions for deleting social cookies are therefore governed by the social networks’ websites themselves. Users are advised to consult the following links for the privacy policies of the individual providers:

LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy?trk=uno-reg-guest-home-privacy-policy
Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/policies/cookies/
Twitter: https://help.twitter.com/de/rules-and-policies/twitter-cookies
YouTube: https://www.google.com/policies/technologies/types/
The use of these cookies is fully anonymized. No personal information is collected unless the user expressly wishes to provide it by submitting contact forms or requesting information.

Further information on data protection and the use of social cookies can be viewed directly on the homepages of the respective third-party providers.

How do cookies work and how can they be rejected?

Allowing or rejecting cookies is your right
Browser default settings generally allow the use of cookies, whether they come from our website or from third-party websites. For the website to function smoothly, to use the features and to be able to access the full range of services, we recommend allowing cookies.

Users have the right at any time to change the preset configuration (default setting). To manage how cookies work and the options for restricting or blocking them, it is sufficient for users to change their internet browser settings via the relevant toolbar. Users can choose between unconditionally allowing all cookies (in particular if they browse our pages after their first visit, during which a window was displayed announcing the use of cookies on the homepage, to which they implicitly agreed), indiscriminately and permanently rejecting all cookies, or displaying a banner (notice) whenever a cookie is proposed. In this way, users can decide through an explicit action whether or not to allow the respective cookie.
