Notes on Data Security


The protection of your personal data and privacy is important to us 

That is why we want to explain to you in the following what PM-International is doing to do justice to you and us in this regard. We would like to explain what personal data we collect, how we use it, and how we protect your data. Also, learn to whom we will disclose this information and how you can change your data.

Personal user profiles

While you order, PM-International gathers personal information from you. In this context, PM-International stores your information safely in your profile. This means you do not have to enter your personal data again with every order. The information includes, in particular, your name, date of birth, address, and invoice information. The information you provide here is exclusively used to simplify your order process for administrative purposes and in-house analyses.

Therefore, please be certain when you register that all information you enter will be made available with your express consent.

Cookies

PM-International makes every effort to improve the possible uses of its Website. Therefore, PM-International uses, as do many other Websites, so-called cookies. These cookies are part of the browser software and save information about your use of the PM-International website on your computer's hard disk. So, PM-International is in a position to recognize the computer you use to access the PM-International Website.

Of course, it is possible to use the PM-International Website without cookies. However, using cookies makes the Website significantly more user-friendly.

In most cases, browsers automatically accept cookies. However, you can change the settings of your browser so that it does not allow the use of cookies at all or only with your consent. Of course, you can delete these cookies from your hard disk at any time.

To determine user behavior on PM-International's website, we examine how a customer reaches our Website. This information is collected through the use of cookies. This collection registers no data specific to persons (data that can be traced back to your identity). This anonymous method does not make it possible to relate the user’s behavior back to a specific person.

What does PM-International use your data for?

PM-International uses your information for the following:

for the execution of your purchases, transactions, or other orders.

And for the following, as long as PM-International has received your consent:
using the information stored in your user profile to offer you the possibility of individual services and optimal use of our website.

We will use this information to provide you with individual offers and information that interests you personally. Of course, you also have the opportunity to tell us that you do not want (or no longer want) to be sent such offers and/or information. We will, of course, respect that.

Data security 

The SSL (Secure Socket Layer) security software that PM-International uses is currently one of the best available technologies.

When paying for a relevant service, you can choose different payment options. Each variant encrypts your payment details for delivery. So you can be sure that your data cannot be read by a third party. This transfer is even far more secure than passing on your personal data on the phone.

So far, more than 10,000 customers have purchased online from PM-International in Germany. So you need not worry about your security when using PM-International's site. The technology PM-International uses does everything possible to protect your data.

For PM-International, security does not just have to do with the protection of your data for the method of payment you have chosen. PM-International will make every effort to ensure that your purchase documents, goods, or other documents reach you at the exact time we transmit them.

How is data about you and your use collected by PM-International?

Data is collected from you to carry out the services you choose on several occasions. This is especially true if:

- You made a purchase, which is if you buy something. Data is collected here either from the website, by phone, or by e-mail.

- You tell us your opinion.

Does PM-International pass on your personal information to third parties? 

PM-International passes your data on to its Team Partners, bound by law to secrecy (but no credit card or bank information) for their information. These Team Partners are obliged not just by law but also by contract with PM-International to protect all data. They use your data exclusively for the purpose of sales control.

PM-International, as a matter of principle, does not pass your personal data to other third parties outside of PM-International. PM-International will only do this if it is necessary to carry out your payment transaction, your purchase, or another order, for example as part of order processing, customer data is transmitted to the systems of third parties to transact payments (with banks, credit card reservation or bookings). In other cases, only where PM-International is legally obliged to do so.

When delivering data to third parties to process your orders, purchases, or other requests countries outside the European Union can be involved, where some not comparable data protection provisions apply. Therefore, personal and transactional data are transferred in accordance with the EU standard contractual clauses of the EU-Commission.
