The contents and design of the website is © 2003-2018 by André Beer. The download of the PureBasic tools, codes, libraries etc. on this site is allowed without restrictions for your own use - if necessary in the archives by the respective authors included conditions of use must be complied with of course. Copying and later offering of contents of this websites within own products or websites requires the express consent of the operator.

Note: "In accordance with § 5 (1) TDG we are responsible exclusively only for the own contents. For links on strange contents of third suppliers we are only responsible in accordance with § 5 (2) TDG, if we have positive knowledge of an illegal or punishable content and it's technically possible and reasonable, to prevent the use of it. Also we are not obliged, to check the contents of third party offers for their illegality or punishability in periodical distances. As soon as we get informed of the illegal contents of third party websites, we will remove the corresponding link from our site. Furthermore we would like to emphasize, that we have no influence on the design and the contents of the linked websites. Therefore we particularly dissociate ourselves hereby from all contents of all linked sites on the complete website incl. all subsites. This explanation applies for all links offered on the home page and for all contents of the sides to which links or banner leads. If contents of these internet offers should violate existing copyright or the brand law, these will be removed on note as quickly as possible.

At the current status (May 2018), no personal data is collected or stored about the users of this website.
The script used for the visitor counter ("traffic") stores no user data, but temporarily stores only the IP addresses of the last max. 10 visitors to avoid double counting at the visitor counter.

For participants on the "PureArea.net Showcase" by default only a self-assigned user name, a password and a contact email address are stored. Other information such as real name, website, address or used system are optional and non-obligatory.
This data is stored in a secure online database for the duration of the showcase. The legal basis for the processing of this data is your consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 a) GDPR.

In addition, there is no use of cookies, Google Analytics or similar to create user profiles, etc.

Our hosting provider stores usage and access data (e.g. name, URL, date and time of retrieved files, browser type and version, operating system, Internet provider and IP address of the user) to analyze the traffic, troubleshoot and fix errors as needed or to improve available services. These are legitimate interests in an efficient and secure provision of our website in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 f) DSGVO in conjunction with Art. 28 GDPR.

For both software developers I distribute on behalf the related user licenses. For the purpose of registration and (later) unambiguous identification of users for the purpose of providing full versions of the mentioned software products (for PureBasic + SpiderBasic via a protected download account on www.purebasic.com, for PureVisionXP by providing a full version key) your above mentioned customer data will be forwarded to the aforementioned software developers.

Similar to your order, this is done either by email or for PureBasic / SpiderBasic by entering your data in a password-protected registration form (on www.purebasic.com or www.spiderbasic.com). The storage of your personal data and the securing of the necessary data protection are therefore the responsibility of the two companies mentioned above.

For billing purposes (with the software developers mentioned above and the tax office) in connection with newly registered customers and the forwarding of license fees and for the identification of registered users in the event of a later support request (for example, restoration of a download account) I store the following data from your customer data:

This data is stored in a password-protected Excel file on my computers / backup media.

Since the licenses of all mentioned software products are available indefinitely according to the valid license conditions, the use of the respective software product and a possibly provided download account as well as a support request are generally still possible years after the original order.
Against this background, the storage of your customer data is basically unlimited in time.

Apart from the aforementioned software developers, your customer data will not be passed on to other third parties.
In principle, your customer data is only used "passively" to identify registered users - that means because of your active contact (order or support request). There is no active customer approach on my side, unless this was previously expressly agreed (for example, interested in a full version license).

Of course, you have rights in relation to the collection of your data, which we hereby inform you about. If you would like to assert these rights, please send your request by e-mail or by post with a clear identification of your person to the address stated in section 1.

Below is an overview of your rights:

a) Right to information

You have the right to ask us for information about the personal data stored about you.

b) Right to rectification

You have the right to demand that we correct and / or complete the personal data concerning you.

c) Right to be erased ("right to be forgotten")

You have the right to request the deletion of your personal data stored by us.

However, we would like to point out the following: Your personal data is required for licensed software products (PureBasic, SpiderBasic and / or PureVisionXP) to fulfill the contract, ie provision of download access, customer support, etc.
We can only fulfill your request for deletion of all your personal data, if you at the same time declare the replacement and irrevocable waiver of the further use of the respective user-related software license(s).

d) Right to restriction of processing

You have the right to request the restriction of the processing of your personal data.

The data collection and processing on our part is anyway limited to a minimum, so please also note the information under 4 c).

e) Right to information

If you have asserted any of the aforementioned rights to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing, we will forward this correction or deletion or limit processing of the personal data related to you to all recipients (in the case of a license purchased from me, the above-mentioned software companies), unless it proves impossible or disproportionate.

f) Right for data portability

You have the right to get the personal informations provided to us, or that we provide them to a third party in a structured, common and machine-readable format.

g) Right to object

If your personal data is processed based on legitimate interests pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR, you have the right to object to the processing at any time in accordance with Art. 21 GDPR.

h) Withdrawal of consent
