Privacy Policy
We are very delighted that you have shown interest in our enterprise. Data protection is of a
particularly high priority for the management of the Autocom Rental&Trading Gmbh. The use of the
Internet pages of the Autocom Rental&Trading Gmbh is possible without any indication of personal
data; however, if a data subject wants to use special enterprise services via our website,
processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary
and there is no statutory basis for such processing, we generally obtain consent from the data
subject.
The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a
data subject shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in
accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to the Autocom
Rental&Trading Gmbh. By means of this data protection declaration, our enterprise would like to
inform the general public of the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and
process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed, by means of this data protection declaration, of
the rights to which they are entitled.
As the controller, the Autocom Rental&Trading Gmbh has implemented numerous technical and
organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through
this website. However, Internet-based data transmissions may in principle have security gaps, so
absolute protection may not be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transfer
personal data to us via alternative means, e.g. by telephone.
1. Definitions
The data protection declaration of the Autocom Rental&Trading Gmbh is based on the terms used by the
European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our data
protection declaration should be legible and understandable for the general public, as well as our

used.
In this data protection declaration, we use, inter alia, the following terms:
a) Personal data
Personal data means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person
(“data subject”). An identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or

number, location data, an online identifier or to one or more factors specific to the
physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that
natural person.
b) Data subject
Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person, whose personal data is

organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use,
disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or
combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
d) Restriction of processing
Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of limiting
their processing in the future.
e) Profiling

personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in
particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person's performance at
work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour,
location or movements.
f) Pseudonymisation
Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data
can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional
information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to
technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to
an identified or identifiable natural person.
g) Controller or controller responsible for the processing
Controller or controller responsible for the processing is the natural or legal person,
public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the
purposes and means of the processing of personal data; where the purposes and means of such
processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific
criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.
h) Processor
Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which
processes personal data on behalf of the controller.
i) Recipient
Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which
the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities
which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular inquiry in accordance with
Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients; the processing of those data
by those public authorities shall be in compliance with the applicable data protection rules
according to the purposes of the processing.
j) Third party
Third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the
data subject, controller, processor and persons who, under the direct authority of the
controller or processor, are authorised to process personal data.
k) Consent

laws applicable in Member states of the European Union and other provisions related to data
protection is:
Autocom Rental&Trading Gmbh

Website: http://binopterus.com/
3. Cookies
The Internet pages of the Autocom Rental&Trading Gmbh use cookies. Cookies are text files that are
stored in a computer system via an Internet browser.
Many Internet sites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID
is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a character string through which Internet pages
and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This
allows visited Internet sites and servers to differentiate the individual browser of the dats
subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be
recognized and identified using the unique cookie ID.
Through the use of cookies, the Autocom Rental&Trading Gmbh can provide the users of this website
with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.
By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimized with the user in
mind. Cookies allow us, as previously mentioned, to recognize our website users. The purpose of this
recognition is to make it easier for users to utilize our website. The website user that uses
cookies, e.g. does not have to enter access data each time the website is accessed, because this is
taken over by the website, and the cookie is thus stored on the user's computer system. Another
example is the cookie of a shopping cart in an online shop. The online store remembers the articles
that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart via a cookie.
The data subject may, at any time, prevent the setting of cookies through our website by means of a
corresponding setting of the Internet browser used, and may thus permanently deny the setting of
cookies. Furthermore, already set cookies may be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or
other software programs. This is possible in all popular Internet browsers. If the data subject
deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website
may be entirely usable.
4. Collection of general data and information
The website of the Autocom Rental&Trading Gmbh collects a series of general data and information when
a data subject or automated system calls up the website. This general data and information are
stored in the server log files. Collected may be (1) the browser types and versions used, (2) the
operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system
reaches our website (so-called referrers), (4) the sub-websites, (5) the date and time of access to
the Internet site, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider
of the accessing system, and (8) any other similar data and information that may be used in the
event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using these general data and information, the Autocom Rental&Trading Gmbh does not draw any
conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is needed to (1) deliver the content of
our website correctly, (2) optimize the content of our website as well as its advertisement, (3)
ensure the long-term viability of our information technology systems and website technology, and (4)
provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in case
of a cyber-attack. Therefore, the Autocom Rental&Trading Gmbh analyzes anonymously collected data
and information statistically, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of
our enterprise, and to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The
anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a
data subject.
5. Registration on our website
The data subject has the possibility to register on the website of the controller with the indication
of personal data. Which personal data are transmitted to the controller is determined by the
respective input mask used for the registration. The personal data entered by the data subject are
collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller, and for his own purposes. The
controller may request transfer to one or more processors (e.g. a parcel service) that also uses
personal data for an internal purpose which is attributable to the controller.
By registering on the website of the controller, the IP address—assigned by the Internet service
provider (ISP) and used by the data subject—date, and time of the registration are also stored. The
storage of this data takes place against the background that this is the only way to prevent the
misuse of our services, and, if necessary, to make it possible to investigate committed offenses.
Insofar, the storage of this data is necessary to secure the controller. This data is not passed on
to third parties unless there is a statutory obligation to pass on the data, or if the transfer
serves the aim of criminal prosecution.
The registration of the data subject, with the voluntary indication of personal data, is intended to
enable the controller to offer the data subject contents or services that may only be offered to
registered users due to the nature of the matter in question. Registered persons are free to change
the personal data specified during the registration at any time, or to have them completely deleted
from the data stock of the controller.
The data controller shall, at any time, provide information upon request to each data subject as to
what personal data are stored about the data subject. In addition, the data controller shall correct
or erase personal data at the request or indication of the data subject, insofar as there are no
statutory storage obligations. The entirety of the controller’s employees are available to the data
subject in this respect as contact persons.
6. Subscription to our newsletters
On the website of the Autocom Rental&Trading Gmbh, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to
our enterprise's newsletter. The input mask used for this purpose determines what personal data are
transmitted, as well as when the newsletter is ordered from the controller.
The Autocom Rental&Trading Gmbh informs its customers and business partners regularly by means of a
newsletter about enterprise offers. The enterprise's newsletter may only be received by the data
subject if (1) the data subject has a valid e-mail address and (2) the data subject registers for
the newsletter shipping. A confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address registered by a
data subject for the first time for newsletter shipping, for legal reasons, in the double opt-in
procedure. This confirmation e-mail is used to prove whether the owner of the e-mail address as the
data subject is authorized to receive the newsletter.
During the registration for the newsletter, we also store the IP address of the computer system
assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) and used by the data subject at the time of the
registration, as well as the date and time of the registration. The collection of this data is
necessary in order to understand the (possible) misuse of the e-mail address of a data subject at a
later date, and it therefore serves the aim of the legal protection of the controller.
The personal data collected as part of a registration for the newsletter will only be used to send
our newsletter. In addition, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by e-mail, as long as
this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a registration in question, as this
could be the case in the event of modifications to the newsletter offer, or in the event of a change
in technical circumstances. There will be no transfer of personal data collected by the newsletter
service to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter may be terminated by the data subject
at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data, which the data subject has given for
shipping the newsletter, may be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revocation of consent, a
corresponding link is found in each newsletter. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the
newsletter at any time directly on the website of the controller, or to communicate this to the
controller in a different way.
7. Newsletter-Tracking
The newsletter of the Autocom Rental&Trading Gmbh contains so-called tracking pixels. A tracking
pixel is a miniature graphic embedded in such e-mails, which are sent in HTML format to enable log
file recording and analysis. This allows a statistical analysis of the success or failure of online
marketing campaigns. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, the Autocom Rental&Trading Gmbh may see
if and when an e-mail was opened by a data subject, and which links in the e-mail were called up by
data subjects.
Such personal data collected in the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and
analyzed by the controller in order to optimize the shipping of the newsletter, as well as to adapt
the content of future newsletters even better to the interests of the data subject. These personal
data will not be passed on to third parties. Data subjects are at any time entitled to revoke the
respective separate declaration of consent issued by means of the double-opt-in procedure. After a
revocation, these personal data will be deleted by the controller. The Autocom Rental&Trading Gmbh
automatically regards a withdrawal from the receipt of the newsletter as a revocation.
8. Contact possibility via the website
The website of the Autocom Rental&Trading Gmbh contains information that enables a quick electronic
contact to our enterprise, as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general
address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the controller
by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject are automatically
stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the data controller
are stored for the purpose of processing or contacting the data subject. There is no transfer of
this personal data to third parties.
9. Routine erasure and blocking of personal data
The data controller shall process and store the personal data of the data subject only for the period
necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as far as this is granted by the European legislator
or other legislators in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject to.
If the storage purpose is not applicable, or if a storage period prescribed by the European
legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data are routinely blocked or
erased in accordance with legal requirements.
10. Rights of the data subject
a) Right of confirmation
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the

time, contact any employee of the controller. An employee of Autocom Rental&Trading Gmbh
shall promptly ensure that the erasure request is complied with immediately.
Where the controller has made personal data public and is obliged pursuant to Article 17(1)
to erase the personal data, the controller, taking account of available technology and the
cost of implementation, shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, to inform
other controllers processing the personal data that the data subject has requested erasure

11. Data protection provisions about the application and use of Facebook
On this website, the controller has integrated components of the enterprise Facebook. Facebook is a
social network.
A social network is a place for social meetings on the Internet, an online community, which usually
allows users to communicate with each other and interact in a virtual space. A social network may
serve as a platform for the exchange of opinions and experiences, or enable the Internet community
to provide personal or business-related information. Facebook allows social network users to include
the creation of private profiles, upload photos, and network through friend requests.
The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, United
States. If a person lives outside of the United States or Canada, the controller is the Facebook
Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.
With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet website, which is operated by the
controller and into which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-ins) was integrated, the web browser
on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted to download
display of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook through the Facebook component. An
overview of all the Facebook Plug-ins may be accessed under
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/. During the course of this technical procedure,
Facebook is made aware of what specific sub-site of our website was visited by the data subject.
If the data subject is logged in at the same time on Facebook, Facebook detects with every call-up to
our website by the data subject—and for the entire duration of their stay on our Internet site—which
specific sub-site of our Internet page was visited by the data subject. This information is
collected through the Facebook component and associated with the respective Facebook account of the
data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Facebook buttons integrated into our website,
e.g. the "Like" button, or if the data subject submits a comment, then Facebook matches this
information with the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores the personal
data.
Facebook always receives, through the Facebook component, information about a visit to our website by
the data subject, whenever the data subject is logged in at the same time on Facebook during the
time of the call-up to our website. This occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the
Facebook component or not. If such a transmission of information to Facebook is not desirable for
the data subject, then he or she may prevent this by logging off from their Facebook account before
a call-up to our website is made.
The data protection guideline published by Facebook, which is available at
https://facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information about the collection, processing and use
of personal data by Facebook. In addition, it is explained there what setting options Facebook
offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. In addition, different configuration options are
made available to allow the elimination of data transmission to Facebook. These applications may be
used by the data subject to eliminate a data transmission to Facebook.
12. Data protection provisions about the application and use of Google Analytics (with anonymization
function)
On this website, the controller has integrated the component of Google Analytics (with the anonymizer
function). Google Analytics is a web analytics service. Web analytics is the collection, gathering,
and analysis of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects,
inter alia, data about the website from which a person has come (the so-called referrer), which
sub-pages were visited, or how often and for what duration a sub-page was viewed. Web analytics are
mainly used for the optimization of a website and in order to carry out a cost-benefit analysis of
Internet advertising.
The operator of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View,
CA 94043-1351, United States.
For the web analytics through Google Analytics the controller uses the application "_gat.
_anonymizeIp". By means of this application the IP address of the Internet connection of the data
subject is abridged by Google and anonymised when accessing our websites from a Member State of the
European Union or another Contracting State to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.
The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze the traffic on our website. Google uses
the collected data and information, inter alia, to evaluate the use of our website and to provide
online reports, which show the activities on our websites, and to provide other services concerning
the use of our Internet site for us.
Google Analytics places a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. The
definition of cookies is explained above. With the setting of the cookie, Google is enabled to
analyze the use of our website. With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet
site, which is operated by the controller and into which a Google Analytics component was
integrated, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject will
automatically submit data through the Google Analytics component for the purpose of online
advertising and the settlement of commissions to Google. During the course of this technical
procedure, the enterprise Google gains knowledge of personal information, such as the IP address of
the data subject, which serves Google, inter alia, to understand the origin of visitors and clicks,
and subsequently create commission settlements.
The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the access time, the location from which
the access was made, and the frequency of visits of our website by the data subject. With each visit
to our Internet site, such personal data, including the IP address of the Internet access used by
the data subject, will be transmitted to Google in the United States of America. These personal data
are stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass these personal data collected
through the technical procedure to third parties.
The data subject may, as stated above, prevent the setting of cookies through our website at any time
by means of a corresponding adjustment of the web browser used and thus permanently deny the setting
of cookies. Such an adjustment to the Internet browser used would also prevent Google Analytics from
setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, cookies
already in use by Google Analytics may be deleted at any time via a web browser or other software
programs.
In addition, the data subject has the possibility of objecting to a collection of data that are
generated by Google Analytics, which is related to the use of this website, as well as the
processing of this data by Google and the chance to preclude any such. For this purpose, the data
subject must download a browser add-on under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout and
install it. This browser add-on tells Google Analytics through a JavaScript, that any data and
information about the visits of Internet pages may not be transmitted to Google Analytics. The
installation of the browser add-ons is considered an objection by Google. If the information
technology system of the data subject is later deleted, formatted, or newly installed, then the data
subject must reinstall the browser add-ons to disable Google Analytics. If the browser add-on was
uninstalled by the data subject or any other person who is attributable to their sphere of
competence, or is disabled, it is possible to execute the reinstallation or reactivation of the
browser add-ons.
Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under
https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/ and under
http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/us.html. Google Analytics is further explained under the
following Link https://www.google.com/analytics/.
13. Data protection provisions about the application and use of Google+
On this website, the controller has integrated the Google+ button as a component. Google+ is a
so-called social network. A social network is a social meeting place on the Internet, an online
community, which usually allows users to communicate with each other and interact in a virtual
space. A social network may serve as a platform for the exchange of opinions and experiences, or
enable the Internet community to provide personal or business-related information. Google+ allows
users of the social network to include the creation of private profiles, upload photos and network
through friend requests.
The operating company of Google+ is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA
94043-1351, UNITED STATES.
With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller
and on which a Google+ button has been integrated, the Internet browser on the information
technology system of the data subject automatically downloads a display of the corresponding Google+
button of Google through the respective Google+ button component. During the course of this
technical procedure, Google is made aware of what specific sub-page of our website was visited by
the data subject. More detailed information about Google+ is available under
https://developers.google.com/+/.
If the data subject is logged in at the same time to Google+, Google recognizes with each call-up to
our website by the data subject and for the entire duration of his or her stay on our Internet site,
which specific sub-pages of our Internet page were visited by the data subject. This information is
collected through the Google+ button and Google matches this with the respective Google+ account
associated with the data subject.
If the data subject clicks on the Google+ button integrated on our website and thus gives a Google+ 1
recommendation, then Google assigns this information to the personal Google+ user account of the
data subject and stores the personal data. Google stores the Google+ 1 recommendation of the data
subject, making it publicly available in accordance with the terms and conditions accepted by the
data subject in this regard. Subsequently, a Google+ 1 recommendation given by the data subject on
this website together with other personal data, such as the Google+ account name used by the data
subject and the stored photo, is stored and processed on other Google services, such as
search-engine results of the Google search engine, the Google account of the data subject or in
other places, e.g. on Internet pages, or in relation to advertisements. Google is also able to link
the visit to this website with other personal data stored on Google. Google further records this
personal information with the purpose of improving or optimizing the various Google services.
Through the Google+ button, Google receives information that the data subject visited our website, if
the data subject at the time of the call-up to our website is logged in to Google+. This occurs
regardless of whether the data subject clicks or doesn’t click on the Google+ button.
If the data subject does not wish to transmit personal data to Google, he or she may prevent such
transmission by logging out of his Google+ account before calling up our website.
Further information and the data protection provisions of Google may be retrieved under
https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/. More references from Google about the Google+ 1
button may be obtained under https://developers.google.com/+/web/buttons-policy.
14. Data protection provisions about the application and use of YouTube
On this website, the controller has integrated components of YouTube. YouTube is an Internet video
portal that enables video publishers to set video clips and other users free of charge, which also
provides free viewing, review and commenting on them. YouTube allows you to publish all kinds of
videos, so you can access both full movies and TV broadcasts, as well as music videos, trailers, and
videos made by users via the Internet portal.
The operating company of YouTube is YouTube, LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, UNITED
STATES. The YouTube, LLC is a subsidiary of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA
94043-1351, UNITED STATES.
With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet site, which is operated by the
controller and on which a YouTube component (YouTube video) was integrated, the Internet browser on
the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted to download a
display of the corresponding YouTube component. Further information about YouTube may be obtained
under https://www.youtube.com/yt/about/en/. During the course of this technical procedure, YouTube
and Google gain knowledge of what specific sub-page of our website was visited by the data
subject.
If the data subject is logged in on YouTube, YouTube recognizes with each call-up to a sub-page that
contains a YouTube video, which specific sub-page of our Internet site was visited by the data
subject. This information is collected by YouTube and Google and assigned to the respective YouTube
account of the data subject.
YouTube and Google will receive information through the YouTube component that the data subject has
visited our website, if the data subject at the time of the call to our website is logged in on
YouTube; this occurs regardless of whether the person clicks on a YouTube video or not. If such a
transmission of this information to YouTube and Google is not desirable for the data subject, the
delivery may be prevented if the data subject logs off from their own YouTube account before a
call-up to our website is made.
YouTube's data protection provisions, available at https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/,
provide information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by YouTube and
Google.
15. Legal basis for the processing
Art. 6(1) lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent
for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the
performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, when
processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service, the
processing is based on Article 6(1) lit. b GDPR. The same applies to such processing operations
which are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries
concerning our products or services. Is our company subject to a legal obligation by which
processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfillment of tax obligations, the
processing is based on Art. 6(1) lit. c GDPR.
In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of
the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor
were injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information
would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be
based on Art. 6(1) lit. d GDPR.
Finally, processing operations could be based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used
for processing operations which are not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if
processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a
third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and
freedoms of the data subject which require protection of personal data. Such processing operations
are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the European
legislator. He considered that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a
client of the controller (Recital 47 Sentence 2 GDPR).
16. The legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party
Where the processing of personal data is based on Article 6(1) lit. f GDPR our legitimate interest is
to carry out our business in favor of the well-being of all our employees and the shareholders.
17. Period for which the personal data will be stored
The criteria used to determine the period of storage of personal data is the respective statutory
retention period. After expiration of that period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, as
long as it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of a
contract.
18. Provision of personal data as statutory or contractual requirement; Requirement necessary to
enter into a contract; Obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible
consequences of failure to provide such data
We clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or
can also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner).
Sometimes it may be necessary to conclude a contract that the data subject provides us with personal
data, which must subsequently be processed by us. The data subject is, for example, obliged to
provide us with personal data when our company signs a contract with him or her. The non-provision
of the personal data would have the consequence that the contract with the data subject could not be
concluded.
Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact any employee.
The employee clarifies to the data subject whether the provision of the personal data is required by
law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation
to provide the personal data and the consequences of non-provision of the personal data.
19. Existence of automated decision-making
As a responsible company, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.
