3. Collection and Use of Your Data

PEAC is committed to protecting the privacy of all website visitors. When you use our web services, our servers temporarily store the connection data of the requesting computer by default for system security.

For the purely informational use of our website, it is generally not necessary for you to provide personal data. Rather, in this case, we only collect and use the data that your internet browser automatically transmits to us, such as:

  • the browser settings,
  • the operating system used,
  • the last page you visited,
  • the amount of data transferred and the access status (file transferred, file not found, etc.),

We collect and use this data during an informational visit exclusively in non-personal form. It is done to enable the use of the internet pages you have accessed for statistical purposes and to improve our internet presence.

PEAC only stores the IP address for the duration of your visit; no personal evaluation takes place.

Additional personal information is not collected unless you provide this information voluntarily, e.g. in the context of an enquiry for financing, vendor partnership, making an appointment or applying for a job (see Section 4.).
