Data protection by TecAlliance Asia Pacific Limited
Thank you very much for your interest in our company. Data protection has a particularly high priority for the management of TecAlliance Asia Pacific Limited. The use of the TecAlliance Asia Pacific Limited Internet pages is basically possible without entering any personal data. However, if a user wishes to make use of special services of our company via our website, it may be necessary to process personal data. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we obtain the general consent of the person concerned.
The processing of personal data, for example the name, address, e-mail address or telephone number of a person concerned, is always carried out in accordance with the General Data Protection Regulation and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to TecAlliance Asia Pacific Limited. By means of this privacy policy, our company wishes to inform the public about the nature, scope and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, affected persons are informed of their rights by means of this data protection declaration.
TecAlliance Asia Pacific Limited, as the data controller, has implemented numerous technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data processed via this website is protected as completely as possible. Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can in principle have security gaps, so that absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, each person concerned is free to transmit personal data to us by alternative means, such as telephone.

4. Cookies
The TecAlliance SEA website uses cookies. Cookies are text files which are stored on a computer system via an Internet browser.
Many websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a string of characters through which Internet pages and servers can be assigned to the specific Internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the visited Internet pages and servers to distinguish the individual browser of the person concerned from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognized and identified via the unique cookie ID.
By using cookies, TecAlliance Asia Pacific Limited can provide users of this website with user-friendly services that would not be possible without the setting of cookies.
By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimised in the interests of the user. Cookies enable us, as already mentioned, to recognize the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter his access data each time he visits the website because recognition is performed by the website and the cookie stored on the user's computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping cart in the online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping cart with a cookie.
An affected person can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time with the appropriate setting of the Internet browser used; and this permanently prevents the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an Internet browser or other software program. This is possible in all common Internet browsers. If a person deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable under certain conditions.
The legal basis for the processing of personal data using technically necessary cookies is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The legitimate interest in the processing of personal data lies in the purposes described above. The legal basis for the processing of personal data using cookies for analysis purposes is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR if the user has given his consent.
5. Collection of general data and information
The TecAlliance SEA website collects a series of general data and information each time the website is accessed by a person or an automated system. This general data and information are stored in the log files of the server. The (1) browser types and versions used can be recorded, (2) the operating system used by the accessing system, (3) the website from which an accessing system accesses our website (so-called referrer), (4) the sub-sites which are accessed via an accessing system on our website, (5) the date and time of access to the website, (6) an Internet protocol address (IP address), (7) the Internet service provider of the accessing system and (8) other similar data and information used to avert dangers in the event of attacks on our information technology systems. (9) times, download errors, length of visits to certain pages, and page interaction information (such as scrolling, clicks, and mouse-overs).
We may also use device identifiers, cookies, and other technologies on devices, applications, and our website to collect browsing, usage, or other technical information.
When using this general data and information, TecAlliance Asia Pacific Limited does not draw any conclusions about the person concerned. This information is needed (1) to correctly deliver the content of our website, (2) to optimise the content and advertising of our website, (3) to ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and (4) to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for law enforcement in the event of a cyberattack. This anonymously collected data and information is therefore evaluated by TecAlliance Asia Pacific Limited both statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company to ultimately ensure an optimum level of protection for the personal data processed by us.
The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. The legitimate interest lies in the purposes of data processing described above.
The data are deleted as soon as they are no longer required for the purpose of their collection. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended. A storage going beyond this is possible. In this case the IP addresses of the users are deleted or alienated, so that an assignment of the calling client is no longer possible.
The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is mandatory for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility of objection on the part of the user.
6. Subscription to our newsletter
On the TecAlliance SEA website, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our company's newsletter. The personal data that is transferred to the person responsible for processing orders for the newsletter results from the input mask used for this purpose.
TecAlliance Asia Pacific Limited informs its customers and business partners at regular intervals by means of a newsletter about company news, product introduction etc. The newsletter of our company can only be received by the person concerned if (1) the person concerned has a valid e-mail address and (2) the person concerned registers to receive the newsletter.
The personal data collected as part of newsletter registration will only be used to send our newsletter. The personal data collected as part of the newsletter service will not be passed on to third parties.
The legal basis for the processing of data by the user after registration for the newsletter is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR if the user has given his consent.
The subscription to our newsletter can be cancelled by the person concerned. The consent to the storage of personal data, which the person concerned has given us for the newsletter dispatch, can be revoke as long as needed.
The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. The user's e-mail address will therefore be stored as long as the newsletter subscription is active.
7. Possibility of contact via the website
Due to legal regulations, the TecAlliance SEA website contains information that enables rapid electronic contact with our company and direct communication with us. This includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the controller by e-mail, the personal data transmitted by the data subject shall be automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted voluntarily by a data subject to the controller are stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties.
The legal basis for processing the data transmitted in the course of sending an e-mail is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. If the purpose of the e-mail contact is to conclude a contract, the additional legal basis for the processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR. The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. For the personal data from the input mask of the contact form and those sent by e-mail, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has ended. The conversation is terminated when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the relevant facts have been conclusively clarified.
The data subject can revoke his/her consent to the processing of personal data. If he/she contacts us by e-mail, he/she can object to the storage of his/her personal data. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued.
8. Routine deletion and blocking of personal data
The controller shall process and store the personal data of the data subject only for the time necessary to achieve the storage purpose or where provided for by the European regulator or another legislative body in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject.
If the storage purpose no longer applies or if a storage period prescribed by the European regulator or another competent legislature expires, the personal data shall be blocked or deleted routinely and in accordance with the statutory provisions.
9. Rights of the data subject
a) Right to confirmation
Every data subject shall have the right, granted by the European regulator, to obtain from the controller confirmation as to whether personal data relating to the data subject are being processed.

The data subject objects to the processing under Article 21(1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate reasons for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing under Article 21(2) GDPR.
