As a provider of a modern and forward-looking CDE project platform, we attach the greatest importance to protecting your data. We only process personal data if this is necessary to provide a service or offer, or if you provide it voluntarily.

We protect your data by means of technical and operational safeguards against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorised persons. Please note the following information on the collection and use of personal data under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR):

Processing of personal data and the nature and purpose of its use

a) Data collection when visiting our website https://ppm-raum.com

When you use our website for information purposes only and when you access our website https://ppm-raum.com , the browser used on your device automatically sends information to our website’s server, so that we only collect data that your browser automatically transmits to our server. This information/data is temporarily stored in a so-called log file. For purely informational use of our website, it is generally not necessary for you to provide any personal data.

The following information/data required to display our website is collected without any action on your part and stored until it is automatically deleted:
• date and time of access,
• name and URL of the retrieved file,
• website from which access is made (referrer URL),
• browser used and, if applicable, your computer’s operating system and the name of your access provider,
• IP address used (if applicable: in anonymised form)

• a device identifier

We process the above data for the following purposes:
• ensuring a smooth connection to the website,
• ensuring convenient use of our website,
• evaluating system security and stability, and
• other administrative purposes.

Processing is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR to safeguard our legitimate interest in the purposes of data collection listed above and in improving the stability and functionality of our website. Under no circumstances do we use the collected data to draw conclusions about you personally. The data is not passed on or used in any other way. However, we reserve the right to check the server log files retrospectively should there be concrete indications of unlawful use.

In addition, we use cookies and analysis services when you visit our website. Further details can be found in sections 4 and 5 of this privacy policy.

b) When using our contact options

Personal data is collected when you contact us by email or via the contact form. A valid email address is required so that we know who the enquiry is from and can respond to it. Further information we collect: first name, surname, phone number, your message. This data is stored and used exclusively for the purpose of responding to your request or for contacting you and the associated technical administration.

Data processing for the purpose of contacting us is carried out in accordance with Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a GDPR on the basis of your voluntarily given consent for specific purposes, in particular:

• for personalised use of the website, personalised offers and optimisation of the web offering

• for sending newsletters with regular offers

• for customer surveys

• to support the use of our services and remote support tools

If you contact us with a view to concluding a contract, the additional legal basis for processing is Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. b GDPR.

Your data will be deleted once your enquiry has been fully processed; this is the case when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the matter in question has been conclusively resolved and provided that no statutory retention obligations prevent deletion. Furthermore, we will delete or anonymise all data 3 months after the contractual purpose no longer applies. However, we may have to continue storing your data until the expiry of the retention obligations and periods laid down by the legislator or supervisory authorities, which may arise, for example, from the German Fiscal Code (usually 10 years).

No fully automated decision-making (including profiling) pursuant to Art. 22 GDPR is used to process the data you provide.

c) Registration of a user account

If you register a user account to use our project communication platform, we process the following data: gender, first name, surname, email address, company name, office abbreviation, street (optional), house number (optional), postcode (optional), city (optional), phone number (optional).

We use this mandatory data to process your request for a new user account and to create the user account. We use the optional data, if you wish, in order to be able to contact you personally.

The data arising when a user account is set up is retained until the user instructs us to delete it.

Processing is carried out on the legal basis of Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. b GDPR for the performance of the usage relationship relating to the user account. A user account cannot be opened without this mandatory data.

Disclosure of data

Under no circumstances will the data you provide be transferred to a third country or an international organisation. Should you, in individual cases, wish the data you provide to be transferred to a third country or an international organisation, we will only do so with your written consent and release from professional confidentiality.

Partner companies and processors

When processing your data in connection with our services and products, we use service providers or transfer this data to companies that support us, for example, with the availability of services or payment processing. The service providers process the data exclusively within the scope of our instructions and have been obliged to comply with the applicable data protection regulations. All processors have been carefully selected and only receive access to your data to the extent and for the period necessary to provide the services, or to the extent to which you have consented to the processing and use of the data.

Information about your rights

With regard to the processing of your personal data, we would like to inform you of your rights as a data subject:

• Right of access pursuant to Art. 15 GDPR: in particular, you have the right to request information about your personal data processed by us, the purposes of processing, the category of personal data, the categories of recipients to whom your data has been or will be disclosed, the planned storage period, the existence of a right to rectification, erasure, restriction of processing or objection to processing, the existence of a right to lodge a complaint, the origin of your data if it was not collected by us, and the existence of automated decision-making including profiling and, where applicable, meaningful information about its details;

• Right to rectification pursuant to Art. 16 GDPR: you have the right to immediate rectification of incorrect and/or completion of your personal data stored by us;

• Right to erasure pursuant to Art. 17 GDPR: you have the right to request the erasure of your personal data stored by us if the conditions of Art. 17 (1) GDPR are met, unless processing is necessary for exercising the right of freedom of expression and information, for compliance with a legal obligation, for reasons of public interest or for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims;

• Right to restriction of processing pursuant to Art. 18 GDPR: you have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data if you dispute the accuracy of the data, the processing is unlawful but you object to its erasure, and we no longer need the data but you require it for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims, or if you have objected to the processing;

• Right to notification pursuant to Art. 19 GDPR: if you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against the controller, the controller is obliged to notify all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you has been disclosed of this rectification or erasure of data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves disproportionate effort. You have the right to be informed about these recipients.

• Right to withdraw consent pursuant to Art. 7 (3) GDPR: you have the right to withdraw consent you have given to us at any time. As a result, we may no longer continue the data processing based on this consent in the future. In the event of withdrawal, we will delete the data concerned without delay, unless further processing can be based on a legal basis for processing without consent. The withdrawal of consent does not affect the lawfulness of processing carried out on the basis of the consent up to the time of withdrawal, and

• Right to lodge a complaint pursuant to Art. 77 GDPR: if you believe that the processing of personal data concerning you violates the GDPR, you have the right – without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy – to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority. As a rule, you can contact the supervisory authority of your usual place of residence or workplace.

Right to object

If your personal data is processed on the basis of legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. f GDPR, you have the right under Art. 21 GDPR to object to the processing of your personal data, provided there are grounds arising from your particular situation or the objection is directed against direct marketing. In the latter case, you have a general right to object, which we will implement without you having to specify a particular situation.

If you wish to exercise your right of withdrawal or objection, simply send an email to datenschutz@ppm-raum.de.

Duration of processing

The duration of the processing of personal data is determined by the respective statutory retention period (e.g. retention periods under commercial, tax and professional law).

Expected periods of our retention obligations and our legitimate interests: ·
• Compliance with retention periods under commercial, tax and professional law. The periods for retention or documentation specified there range from two to ten years.
• Preservation of evidence within the framework of the statute of limitations. Under Sections 195 et seq. of the German Civil Code (BGB), these limitation periods can be up to 30 years, with the regular limitation period being three years.

After the period has expired, the corresponding data is routinely deleted unless it is still required for the performance or initiation of a contract and/or we no longer have a legitimate interest in continuing to store it.

Data security

During your visit to our website, we use the widespread SSL (Secure Socket Layer) procedure in conjunction with the highest level of encryption supported by your browser. As a rule, this is 256-bit encryption. If your browser does not support 256-bit encryption, we use 128-bit v3 technology instead. You can tell whether an individual page of our website is transmitted in encrypted form by the closed key or padlock symbol in your browser’s status bar.

In addition, we use appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or complete loss, destruction or unauthorised access by third parties.

Competent supervisory authority

If you are dissatisfied with our handling or processing, you have the right to contact the following supervisory authority:

Bayerisches Landesamt für Datenschutzaufsicht (Bavarian Data Protection Authority)
Promenade 27 (Schloss)
91522 Ansbach, Germany

Further information

We amend this privacy policy from time to time. The rapid development of the internet makes it necessary to adapt our privacy policy from time to time. You will be informed about any changes here. This is necessary so that it always complies with current legal requirements and covers all our offerings. Your statutory rights to information, rectification, blocking, erasure and objection remain unaffected by such a change. This privacy policy is currently valid and was last updated in September 2025. In case of doubt, the German version shall prevail.
