WABIO is committed to protecting your personal data. We apply the same principles to website visitors, customers and partners as we do to our own employees.

5. Third-party services

Hosting. Our website is hosted by WordPress, Germany. They process data on our behalf under a data processing agreement.

6. Who we share data with

We share personal data only when needed. This includes service providers who process data on our behalf (such as hosting and IT support), professional advisers, and authorities where the law requires it. We check all service providers before working with them. We bind them by contract to protect your data.

7. Transfers outside the EU

Some of our service providers or group companies may be located outside the European Economic Area. When data is transferred, we use the safeguards the GDPR requires. These include EU Standard Contractual Clauses or an EU adequacy decision.

8. How we protect your data

We use technical and organisational measures to protect personal data against unauthorised access, loss or misuse. These include encrypted data transfer, role-based access, and regular reviews of who can access what. Only staff who need data for their work can access it. If a breach poses a risk to you, we will notify the supervisory authority within 72 hours. Where required, we will also inform you directly.

9. Your rights

Under the GDPR you have the right to:

  • access the personal data we hold about you
  • have inaccurate data corrected
  • have your data deleted
  • restrict how we use your data
  • receive your data in a portable format
  • object to processing based on our legitimate interests
  • withdraw your consent at any time, without affecting earlier processing
  • opt out of marketing communications at any time

To use any of these rights, email [info@wabio.de]. We will reply within one month.
