WebPros Privacy Policy
v.6 – Updated July 11th, 2024
This WebPros Privacy Policy is deemed to demonstrate that our visitors’, partners’ and customers’ (collectively “you” or “your”) privacy is one of WebPros’ cardinal objectives, especially when using any WebPros services or accessing this website. It sets forth the manner and legal commitments which WebPros agrees to maintain in collecting, processing and (where applicable) disclosing information about users of this website.
By using the WebPros website, our products and/or services (collectively referred to as “Offerings”) you agree to the practices described in this Privacy Policy.
Collection of Information
WebPros gathers information in most of its interactions with you, whether directly or indirectly. Although some of the information may be considered as “Personal Data”, most of the gathered information is not Personal Data. Personal Data is defined as information that can be used on its own or with other information to identify, contact, or locate a single person, or to identify an individual in context.
WebPros has taken extensive safety and operational precautions, including administrative, physical and technical safeguards to protect personal information. Furthermore, WebPros deploys commercially reasonable safeguards across the company databases to prevent unauthorized access, disclosure or loss of personal information.
Where information is provided to WebPros for the purpose of the establishment or maintenance of a contractual relationship, WebPros processes your data on the basis of Article 6 I b) GDPR. In all other cases, your data is processed on basis of and in accordance to your explicit consent as required by Article 6 I a) GDPR or a legitimate interest on basis of Article 6 I f) GDPR.
Information received from you directly
WebPros collects and stores information during the registration of products, the creation of online profiles, the application via our Offerings and any contact for support or other matters (e.g. contact or comment forms, telephone contact). Examples of information transmitted by you:
Name, address, phone number, email address
IP addresses
Billing and other purchasing and shipping information;
Records of transactions, including purchases, inquiries and service requests;
Authentication data such as username and password to verify access.
Application Data, CVs, profiles, pictures (additional Job Applicant Data Policy in place)
WebPros does not collect or process any credit card data during purchases. Any credit card purchase is made through a reliable and secure, external online payment processor (third-party controller), with the result that WebPros is never furnished with your sensitive credit card information.
In order to provide its Offerings or fulfill its contractual obligations to you, WebPros may be required to forward data which may include some of your personal information to third parties. In order to follow the requirements of data minimization, the data so transferred is reduced to the necessary minimum. Those suppliers or subcontractors are required to adhere to a data processing agreement with WebPros under which they are committed to process data solely in accordance with the applicable laws (including the GDPR and other national privacy laws) and in accordance to WebPros instructions. This processing includes a required screening of your provided data against international export and economic sanctions lists by WebPros. A negative (no match) screening result is a mandatory requirement for WebPros to communicate with, deal with, do business with or provide any form of services to you. The WebPros “Export and Sanctions Compliance Policy” applies, accordingly.
WebPros has an extensive data protection policy in place across its organization, which every WebPros employee or contractor must adhere to at all times. Such data protection policy sets forth the mandatory way, information is expected to be handled within WebPros and describes the necessary internal processes and the required level of confidentiality to be maintained in order to be compliant with national and international data protection laws (like e.g. GDPR).
WebPros strives to comply with the concept of data minimization (“privacy by default”) by only collecting as much information as needed for the intended and approved purpose. Only information which is relevant to such purpose and which has been provided to WebPros in free and informed manner by you as the data subject will be processed by WebPros for as long as needed for the purpose. Thereafter, any Personal Data is subject to defined deletion routines as defined in WebPros’ record of processing activities, created and maintained in accordance to Article 30 of the GDPR.
Information Collected Automatically
WebPros may automatically collect and store information about how users utilize the WebPros Offerings. This may include anonymized IP addresses of website visitors, browser type and other information such as search terms, which helps us to improve our Offerings to provide you with the best possible services and user experience. Any so collected data which may be considered as Personal Data is subject to immediate anonymization upon its collection with the result that the automatically collected data will not allow WebPros or any other party to identify you.
Data Protection for Minors
The WebPros Offerings as well as its contents, services and offers are not directed at children or minors. Accordingly, WebPros does not want and does not assume that any information collected on WebPros Offerings or any forum will be personal data pertaining to children or minors. Any data which is identified as belonging to a child or minor is subject to immediate deletion.
Is my data secure at WebPros?
WebPros has implemented appropriate technical and organizational measures related to the respective processing purpose in order to protect the Personal Data provided by you against abuse and loss. Personal Data and other information about you is stored in a secure operating environment that is not accessible to the public.
Any data transmission performed by WebPros is encrypted during transmission via SSL.
In addition, each of WebPros’ employees is contractually bound by comprehensive confidentiality and non-disclosure terms and is further required to abide by the WebPros data protection policy at all times.
