Privacy Policy

Thank you for your interest in our website for CommercialiseIt and our services and offerings. As you can imagine and understand, your Confidentiality and Data Protection is of a particularly high priority for us.

The use of these internet pages is possible without providing us with any personal data; however, if you want to use the special and unique CommercialiseIt enterprise services via our website, the processing of personal data will more than likely become necessary. If processing of personal data is necessary and there is no statutory basis for such processing, we generally obtain consent from you, the data subject; (and if we can, for legal reasons, from now on in refer to you in the following text as “the data subject” it would be greatly appreciated, thank you).

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject shall and will always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with any of the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to CommercialiseIt.

By means of this data protection declaration, we would like to inform you, as well as any of the general public, of the nature, scope, and purpose of personal data we collect, its use and process. Furthermore, the data subjects are now informed, by means of this data protection declaration, of the rights to which you and they are entitled.

As the controller of CommercialiseIt, there are numerous implemented technical and organizational measures to ensure that the most complete protection of personal data as it is processed via this website. However, in the world we currently live in, we all need to be aware that in spite of all the best measures taken by us, Internet-based data transmissions may in principle have security gaps; which means that an absolute protection may not be able to be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transfer personal data to us via alternative means, e.g. by phone, email, etc., it is and always will be a free choice to do so or do otherwise.

The Language Used on this Website

So as to make it clear to you, all meanings on this website have been taken from the Oxford Dictionary of English or as are commonly understood by ‘living men and women’; and they are not to be confused with any general ‘legalese’ or any other language to describe things. Trust this makes sense to you.

All character layout, whether capitalised, lower case or a combination of both are to be accepted by you and not to be taken in any other way or meaning. Our position on this website and any communication that we use is that of a ‘living man or woman’ standing under God’s law, also known as the creator’s law, and or natural law, or common law etc., and operating outside the jurisdiction of statutory rules or any man-made legislation.

Which means this…. When we are referring to us, it is as “we the people”; we are speaking of those who do not work for any state department, or the crown, or operate under a licence; and as such we do not require permission from another man or woman to run our life peacefully. Because of this, and as said before, if you require the meaning or definition of any word or sentence that we use here, this can also be obtained by viewing the Oxford Dictionary for its definition.  And thank you for understanding this.

Further information about YouTube may be obtained under https://www.youtube.com/yt/about/en/. During the course of this technical procedure, YouTube and Google gain knowledge of what specific sub-page of our website was visited by the data subject. If data subject is logged in on YouTube, YouTube recognizes with each call-up to a sub-page that contains a YouTube video, which specific sub-page of our Internet site was visited by the data subject. This information is collected by YouTube and Google; assigned to respective YouTube account of the data subject.

YouTube and Google will receive information through the YouTube component that the data subject has visited our website, if the data subject at the time of the call to our website is logged in on YouTube; this occurs regardless of whether the person clicks on a YouTube video or not. If such transmission of this information to YouTube and Google is not desirable for the data subject, delivery may be prevented if the data subject logs off from their own YouTube account before a call-up to our website is made. All of the current YouTube's data protection provisions are available at  https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/, and it is their responsibility to provide information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by YouTube and Google.

17. Payment Method: Data protection provisions to use PayPal as a payment processor

On this website, the controller has or may have integrated components of PayPal. PayPal is an online payment service provider. Payments are processed via so-called PayPal accounts, which represent virtual private or business accounts. PayPal is also able to process virtual payments through credit cards when a user does not have a PayPal account. A PayPal account is managed via an e-mail address, which is why there are no classic account numbers. PayPal makes it possible to trigger online payments to third parties or to receive payments. PayPal also accepts trustee functions and offers buyer protection services.

If the data subject chooses "PayPal" as the payment option in the online shop during the ordering process, we automatically transmit the data of the data subject to PayPal. By selecting this payment option, the data subject agrees to the transfer of personal data required for payment processing. The personal data transmitted to PayPal is usually first name, last name, address, email address, IP address, telephone number, mobile phone number, or other data necessary for payment processing. The processing of the purchase contract also requires such personal data, which are in connection with the respective order.

Transmission of the data is aimed at payment processing and fraud prevention. The controller will transfer personal data to PayPal, in particular, if a legitimate interest in the transmission is given. Personal data exchanged between PayPal and the controller for the processing of the data will be transmitted by PayPal to economic credit agencies. This transmission is intended for identity and creditworthiness checks. PayPal will, if necessary, pass on personal data to affiliates and service providers or subcontractors to the extent that this is necessary to fulfil contractual obligations or for data to be processed in the order. The data subject has the possibility to revoke consent for the handling of personal data at any time from PayPal. A revocation shall not have any effect on personal data which must be processed, used or transmitted in accordance with (contractual) payment processing. The applicable data protection provisions of PayPal may be retrieved under https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full.

18. Legal basis for the processing

This serves as legal basis for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is party, as is the case, for example, when processing operations are necessary for the supply of goods or to provide any other service, the processing is based on this. The same applies to such processing operations which are necessary for carrying out pre-contractual measures, for example in the case of inquiries concerning our products or services. Is our business subject to a legal obligation by which processing of personal data is required, such as for the fulfilment of tax obligations, the processing is based this. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or of another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our business and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information would have to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third party. Then the processing would be based on this and the processing operations could also be based this. This legal basis is used for processing operations which are not covered by any of the abovementioned legal grounds, if processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our business 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. Such processing operations are particularly permissible because they have been specifically mentioned by the Australian legislator.

19. The legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party

Where the processing of personal data is our legitimate interest is to carry out our business in favour of the well-being of all our employees and the shareholders.

20. Period for which the personal data will be stored

The criteria used to determine the period of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiration of that period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, as long as it is no longer necessary for the fulfilment of the contract or the initiation of a contract.

21. Provision of personal data as statutory or contractual requirement;

Requirement necessary to enter into a contract; Obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of failure to provide such data. We clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary to conclude a contract that the data subject provides us with personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with personal data when our business signs a contract with him or her. The non-provision of the personal data would have consequence that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact any employee. The employee clarifies to the data subject whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and the consequences of non-provision of the personal data.

22. Existence of automated decision-making

As a responsible business, we do not use automatic decision-making or profiling.
