There is no requirement to provide your real name; pseudonymous use is possible. We use the so-called double-opt-in procedure for registration, i.e. your registration is only completed if you have previously confirmed your registration via a confirmation email sent to you for this purpose by clicking on the link contained therein. If your confirmation is not received within [24 hours], your registration will be automatically deleted from our database. The specification of the aforementioned data is mandatory; you can voluntarily provide all other information when using our portal.

If you post in public groups, this will be visible to all registered members of the portal.

We also take appropriate technical and organisational security measures to protect your data against accidental or intentional manipulation, partial or total loss, destruction or against unauthorised access by third parties. Our security measures are continuously improved in line with technological developments.

§ 8 Change to the privacy policy

We reserve the right to update this privacy policy from time to time, in particular, to reflect changing legislation or case law. We, therefore, recommend that you visit this website regularly so that you are aware of the protection and processing of your data.

§ 9 General

We at SAFEROAD also take corporate privacy seriously. 

 The relevant legal provisions require that personal data be processed in a manner that ensures the rights of data subjects to the confidentiality and integrity of their data. According to these regulations, it is forbidden to process personal data unlawfully or without authorisation or to intentionally or unintentionally violate the security of the processing in such a way as to destroy, to lose, to change, or to disclose or allow access to unauthorised parties.

For this reason, our employees have been obliged to maintain secrecy and, in particular, to comply with the data protection provisions for confidentiality pursuant to Art. 5 (1) (f), Art. 32 (4) of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).

 Employees are therefore prohibited from processing, using or making personal data accessible to third parties without authorisation. If external service providers are commissioned by SAFEROAD to process personal data for the first time, they will be contractually obliged to comply with the requirements of Art. 28 GDPR.
