As a user of our website, this privacy policy provides you with all necessary information about how, to what extent, and for what purpose we or third-party providers collect and use your data. The collection and use of your data strictly adhere to the provisions of the Federal Data Protection Act (BDSG) and the Telemedia Act (TMG). We are particularly committed to the confidentiality of your personal data and therefore operate strictly within the limits set by legal requirements. The collection of personal data is on a voluntary basis, whenever possible. We only share this data with third parties with your explicit consent. For particularly sensitive data, such as in payment transactions or regarding your inquiries to us, we ensure high security by using SSL encryption. However, we do not want to miss the opportunity to point out the general dangers of internet use over which we have no influence. Especially in email traffic, your data is not secure without further precautions and may be intercepted by third parties.

You can request information at any time, free of charge, about the personal data we have stored about you, as well as the origin, recipient, and purpose of data collection and processing. You also have the right to request the correction, blocking, or deletion of your data. This excludes data that must be retained due to legal regulations or is required for proper business transactions. To ensure that data can be blocked at any time, data is kept in a blocking file for control purposes. If data is not subject to a legal archiving obligation, we will delete your data upon your request. If the archiving obligation applies, we will block your data. For all questions and concerns regarding the correction, blocking, or deletion of personal data, please contact our data protection officer using the contact details in this privacy policy or the address provided in the imprint.

The "google+1" (Google Plus) plugin is integrated into the COMSYS website. This is provided and operated by Google Inc. It can be recognized by the button with the "+1" symbol. When visiting the COMSYS website that provides such a plugin, the browser usually establishes a direct connection with Google's servers in the USA, whereby the content of the plugin is transmitted to the browser of the affected person and integrated by it into the displayed website. This transmits the information that the affected person has visited the COMSYS website to Google. If you are logged into your personal Google Plus or Google account while visiting our website, Google can assign the website visit to this account. By interacting with plugins, e.g., by clicking the button or leaving a comment, this corresponding information is transmitted directly to Google and stored there. If you wish to prevent such data transmission, you must log out of your Google Plus or Google account before visiting our website. We have no influence on the scope and content of the data that Google collects with the button. We assume that the IP address of the affected person is also recorded and transmitted. Affected persons can obtain information about the purpose, scope, and use of data collection by Google Inc. in their privacy policy.
