1. PayAgri respects your privacy

Protecting your privacy when processing personal data and the security of all business data is an important concern to which we pay attention in our business processes. Any personal data collected by our online presences during your visit is processed confidentially and in strict accordance with legal provisions. Data privacy and information security are an integral part of our corporate policy.

3.2 · Processing principles
Personal data is all information which refers to an identified or identifiable natural person, for example, names, addresses, telephone numbers or e-mail addresses, which are an expression of the identity of a person.
We process personal data only when there is a legal basis for doing so or you have granted us your consent in this regard, e.g., within the scope of registration.

We and the service providers contracted by us process your personal data for the following processing purposes:
3.3.1 · Provision of this online presence

3.3.2 · Responding to user inquiries within the scope of a contact form
Legal basis: An overriding legitimate interest on our part in marketing as well as in the improvement of our products and services, provided that this occurs in accordance with data protection requirements and the requirements of competition law and/or contract performance or consent

Legal basis: A legitimate interest on our part in asserting and defending our rights.
3.4 · Log files
Whenever you use the Internet, specific information is automatically transmitted by your Internet browser and may be stored by us in so-called “log files”.
We store the log files for a brief period to detect disruptions and for security reasons (e.g., clarification of attempted attacks) and delete them afterwards. Log files which must be kept longer for evidentiary purposes are exempt from deletion until final clarification of the respective incident and can be transmitted to investigative authorities on a case-by-case basis.
Log files are also used (without or without complete IP address) for purposes of analysis; in this regard, see the section "Web analysis" (see No. 5).
In particular, the following information is stored in the log files:
 IP address (internet protocol address) of the terminal device from which the online presence is being accessed;
 Internet address of the website from which the online presence was accessed (so-called origin or referrer URL);
 Name of the service provider via which the online presence is accessed;
 Date, time, and duration of retrieval;
 Quantity of data transferred;
 Operating system and information about the Internet browser used, including installed add-ons (e.g., for the Flash player);
 http status code (e.g., "inquiry successful” or ”requested file not found”).
3.5 · Transmission of data Name of the files and/or information retrieved;
3.5.1 · Transmission of data to other responsible parties
As a rule, we transmit your personal data to other responsible parties only insofar as this is necessary for performance of the contract, if we or the third party have an overriding legitimate interest in transmitting the data or you have consented to this. Details regarding the legal basis may be found in the section “Purposes of processing and legal basis” (see No. 3.3). Third parties may also be other PayAgri group companies. If data is transmitted to third parties on the basis of an overriding legitimate interest, this is explained in this privacy policy.
In addition, data may be transmitted to other responsible parties insofar as we are obligated to do so on account of legal regulations or an enforceable administrative or judicial order.
3.5.2 · Transmission of data to service providers
We use external service providers for tasks such as marketing services, programming, data hosting, and hotline services. We have chosen these service providers carefully and supervise them on a regular basis, especially their careful handling and safeguarding of the data stored at these service providers. We bind all service providers to confidentiality and compliance with the legal regulations. Service providers may also be other PayAgri group companies.
3.6 · Duration of storage; retention periods
As a rule, we store your data as long as this is necessary to provide our online presence and the associated off-line services or as long as we have a legitimate interest in continued storage (e.g., we may still have a legitimate interest in postal marketing even after fulfillment of a contract). In all other cases, we delete your personal data with the exception of data that we must continue to store in order to fulfill legal obligations (e.g., we are obligated to retain contracts and invoices for a specific period because of mandatory storage periods defined in tax law and commercial law).

5. Web analysis

We require statistical information about the usage of our online presence in order to make it more user-friendly, carry out audience measurements, and pursue market research.
For this purpose, we use the web analysis tools described in this section.
The usage profiles generated by these tools with the help of analysis/statistics cookies or through analysis of the log files are not merged with personal data. The tools either make no use whatsoever of user IP addresses or abbreviate them immediately after they are collected.
The vendors of the tools process data only as processors according to our instructions and not for their own purposes.
In the following, you will find information about the respective vendor and how you can object to the collection and processing of data by the tool for each tool.
In connection with tools that use opt-out cookies, it should be noted that the opt-out function is device- or browser-related and, as a rule, applies only for the terminal device and/or browser being used at the moment.
If you use multiple terminal devices or browsers, you must set an opt-out on every single terminal device and in every browser used.
In addition, you can also prevent the generation of usage profiles altogether by generally disabling the use of cookies; in this regard, see the section “Deactivation and deletion of cookies“ (see No. 4.2).

6. Social plugins

We use so-called “social plugins” from various social networks in our online presence; these are described individually in this section.
When the plugins are used, your Internet browser connects directly to the servers of the respective social network. In this manner, the respective vendor is notified that your Internet browser has accessed the corresponding page of our online presence, even if you do not have an account with the vendor or are not currently logged into the vendor. In the process, log files (including the IP address) are transmitted from your Internet browser directly to a server of the respective vendor and may be stored there. The provider and/or its servers may be located outside of the India (e.g., in the USA).
The plugins constitute independent extensions of the providers of the social networks. Thus we have no influence on the scope of the data collected and stored via the plugins by the providers of the social networks.
For information about the purpose and scope of collection, the subsequent processing and use of the data by the social network, and your rights in this regard and settings options for protecting your privacy, please consult the privacy policy of the respective social network.
If you do not want the providers of the social networks to receive and perhaps store and/or use data about this online presence, then you should not use the respective plugins.

7. External links

Our online services may contain links to third-party websites that are operated by providers not connected to us. When you click these links, we have no influence on the collection, processing, and use of the personal data possibly transmitted to the third party (such as the IP address or the URL of the site on which the link is located), as the actions of third parties are by nature beyond our control. We do not assume any responsibility for the processing of such personal data by third parties.

8. Security

Our associates and the companies providing services on our behalf are obliged to uphold confidentiality and to comply with all applicable data protection laws. We take all necessary technical and organizational measures to ensure an appropriate level of security and to protect any data of yours that we process from the risk of unintentional or unlawful destruction, manipulation, loss, change, or unauthorized disclosure or access. Our security measures are constantly being improved in line with technological developments.
