Transfer of data

Your data is in good hands. We promise you that: We will not sell your personal data to third parties, nor lease it to other companies for advertising purposes.

We only share your personal information with third parties if:

  • you have given us explicit consent to do so in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR
  • to the extent permitted by law and in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR necessary for the settlement of contractual relationships with you, your personal data will be passed on to third parties. This includes credit institutions, postal and courier services and logistics companies.
  • External service companies process data on our behalf as a processor. Your data is subject to the same privacy standards as ours.

SSL Encryption

Personal data on this website are transmitted only in an encrypted form, using the TLS encryption method (Transport Layer Security, also known as SSL, Secure Sockets Layer). The TLS v1.2 method used is at this time one of the safest ways to encrypt data. Connox.de uses a 256-bit encryption pursuant to AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) and thus meets the highest security standards. The issuer of the SSL certificate is digicert, and the method used for the key exchange is DHE_RSA (2048 Bit).

Through the application of the SSL encryption, your data will be mutated so that a third party could not reconstruct it before it is transmitted to the Connox-server. This encryption procedure also ensures that your data will be sent exclusively to the server from which it was requested. Once the data is received by the Connox server, it is verified in regards to completeness and immutability.

If you use the Internet Explorer as your browser, you can identify the encrypted data transmission by the yellow lock icon in the address bar of your browser.

Personal data

Pursuant to Art. 4 No. 1 GDPR, 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 indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification 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;
Personal data is therefore any data that is personally available to you, e.g. name, address, e-mail address, phone number or IP address.
