OUR POSITION

When we offer our business solutions ("Services") to our customers, we process personal data as a Processor on behalf of our customers, with whom TRAXGO enters into a processor agreement. We also impose the requirements that arise from this on our suppliers via a processing agreement.

We act as Data controller in respect of data that we process for our own purposes, for example in the areas of marketing, HR, legal affairs, statistics, administration and compliance (see below).

Because we process personal data both as Processor and Data controller, this Privacy Policy is aimed at our customers or visitors to our website or social media channels. Read our specific social media policy here.

We process personal data for the following processing purposes and on the following legal basis:

We consider the security of our services and in general our information security to be our legal obligation under Art. 6 (1) (c) of the GDPR and our legitimate interests under Art. 6 (1) (f) of the GDPR. In doing so, we monitor the use of our systems internally to detect violations of internal policies, unauthorised operations in our systems or malicious bots, codes or behaviour.

We conclude contracts with both individuals and other companies whereby we process personal data on staff, personnel or contacts in a B2B context, for the conclusion, performance and administration of the contract (legal basis = contractual performance Art. 6 (1) (b) of the GDPR.

WHO ARE THE RECIPIENTS OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA?

TRAXGO does not share your personal data with third parties, except to third parties in the context of providing its services, and only if this is necessary for technical support or if it is obliged to do so on the basis of a statutory provision or a court ruling. These third parties may only process your personal data on our behalf and with our express written consent and in accordance with the purposes outlined above. We guarantee that all third party processors are carefully selected and committed to safeguarding the security and integrity of your personal data.

When you are looking for a job, we may work with third parties who perform tasks on our behalf, such as checking references, psychometric evaluations and skills testing.

Within TRAXGO, your data is only shared with authorised staff (internal recipients) or a verified/authorised third party. Our employees or internal contractors may have access to your personal data on a strictly necessary basis, which is usually determined and limited by the position, role and department of the employee concerned.

We use subcontractors to assist us in providing services that may process personal data for us. We ensure that the selection of our subcontractors and any processing of personal data by them complies with the GDPR. TRAXGO uses the following categories of subcontractors for the provision of services: hosting or cloud service providers, suppliers of standard software solutions (such as Microsoft, Google).

We aim to have all cloud and servers in the EU. However, some of our subcontractors or the abovementioned recipients of personal data may be located outside the EU or their servers may be located outside the EU. Any transfer of personal data outside the EU is only done by us in strict compliance with the GDPR. We ensure that the external recipients in non-eligible countries have concluded the EU Standard Contractual Clauses (EU SCC) with us or ensure equivalent safeguards.

SECURITY OF YOUR PERSONAL DATA

TRAXGO guarantees a qualitative level of data and data security by taking all necessary and reasonable technical and organisational measures. We aim to evaluate these measures at regular intervals and adjust them if necessary. TRAXGO is ISO 27001 certified.

HOW LONG DO WE RETAIN YOUR PERSONAL DATA?

TRAXGO will retain your personal data for a period that is necessary for the performance of the agreement and as a function of the purposes of the processing, as described above. Because of this legal obligation, but also because of technical and financial aspects of data storage, we actively delete data where it is no longer needed. Retention periods are either provided for in the respective laws, data processing agreements, instructions from our data controllers or are set out by us in our internal policies. If the processing of your personal data is based on consent and you decide to withdraw your consent, we will not process your personal data for the specific purpose.

Your personal data will thus be retained as follows: for the duration of the services in accordance with the purposes described above (active retention period) and, as soon as there is no longer any contact, for a passive retention period of 5 years.

All retention periods in relation to the personal data we process for our customers are determined by our customers. We may retain such personal data only for the duration of our data processing agreement, after which we must return or delete all personal data relating to customer data subjects. However, we may delete personal data even earlier if the customer instructs us to do so, for example, if the customer no longer considers the storage of such data necessary for the specified purpose.
