Privacy Policy

DATA PROTECTION POLICY AIM OF THE DATA PROTECTION POLICY Cyborg is fully committed to complying with applicable data protection laws, as we believe that ensuring data protection is the basis of trustworthy business relationships. We are always working to stay compliant - encouraging audits, certifications, and providing industry-standard contractual protections. This Data Protection Policy ensures the level of data protection prescribed by the European Union Data Protection Regulations and provides one of the necessary framework conditions for cross-border data transmission. This Data Protection Policy applies to all companies of Cyborg, affiliated companies, and their employees and is based on globally accepted, basic principles of data protection. The latest version of the Data Protection Policy can be accessed with the data privacy information on Cyborg’s website at: cyborg-it.de

PRINCIPLES OF PERSONAL DATA PROCESSING We collect and use (process) certain types of information (Personal Data) that relate to the people (Data Subjects) we interact with to carry out our business. We are confident that when processing personal data, individual rights must be protected, which means that all personal data must be collected and processed in a legal and fair manner. Therefore, we presume and agree that Personal Data shall be:

Principles of Personal Data Processing

Personal data shall be:

  1. Processed lawfully, fairly, and in a transparent manner in relation to the data subject ('lawfulness, fairness, and transparency');
  2. Collected for specified, explicit, and legitimate purposes and not further processed in a manner that is incompatible with those purposes ('purpose limitation');
  3. Adequate, relevant, and limited to what is necessary in relation to the purposes for which they are processed ('data minimisation');
  4. Accurate and, where necessary, kept up to date; every reasonable step must be taken to ensure that personal data that are inaccurate, having regard to the purposes for which they are processed, are erased or rectified without delay ('accuracy');
  5. Kept in a form which permits identification of data subjects for no longer than is necessary for the purposes for which the personal data are processed ('storage limitation');
  6. Processed in a manner that ensures appropriate security of the personal data, including protection against unauthorized or unlawful processing and against accidental loss, destruction, or damage, using appropriate technical or organizational measures ('integrity and confidentiality').

Lawfulness of Processing

To make processing compliant, we ensure it has at least one legitimate reason for processing (collecting, using, managing, or disclosing) personal data. According to Article 6(1) of EU Regulation No 2016/679 (General Data Protection Regulation or GDPR), such reasons could be:

  1. The data subject has given consent to the processing of their personal data for one or more specific purposes;
  2. Processing is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party or in order to take steps at the request of the data subject prior to entering into a contract;
  3. Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller 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, in particular where the data subject is a child.

How Do We Keep Personal Data Safe
