How is personal data processed?

Personal data is processed through the collection, storage, use, transfer or deletion of data.
Processing may be carried out by companies, organizations or individuals pursuing specific purposes, such as the performance of contracts, marketing, customer care or the analysis of business processes.
Processing must always be carried out in accordance with the applicable data protection laws and regulations.

Data protection and GDPR

The processing of personal data is subject to strict data protection regulations, in particular the European Union's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR).
This regulation governs the collection, storage and processing of personal data and guarantees the rights of data subjects, such as the right to access, rectify, erase and restrict the processing of their data.
Companies must ensure that they meet all the requirements of the GDPR in order to guarantee the protection of their customers' personal data.

How does CCM19 support data protection in relation to personal data?

CCM19 supports data protection through a comprehensive solution specifically designed to meet the requirements of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). CCM19's main tool is the GDPR-compliant cookie banner, which can be integrated into websites to ensure that personal data is processed lawfully.
The CCM19 cookie banner offers several important functions:

• Transparency and information:
  The banner informs website visitors about which cookies and tracking technologies are used and for what purposes this data is processed. This transparency is crucial to enable users to give their informed consent.
• Consent management:
  CCM19's cookie banner stores users' consent decisions and allows website operators to track and manage these consents. This is important in order to fulfill the legal obligation to provide evidence.
• User-friendliness:
  The banner can be easily adapted to the design and requirements of the website without compromising the user experience. CCM19 ensures that the banner is both visually appealing and functional to maximize the user experience.
