Effective Date: October 23, 2026 • Platform: gteglobal.de
Understanding GDPR at GTE Global
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) is an European law designed to protect your company's privacy rights. At GTE Global, we enforce strict data minimization: we only collect essential business contacts and IP security logs to protect your account, ensuring your commercial data is fully encrypted and never sold.
1. Information We Collect & Legal Basis
We limit our data collection strictly to what is necessary for managing your B2B account, delivering wholesale services, and maintaining system security under European data protection standards (GDPR):
- Account & Business Data: We collect your Full Name, Business Email Address, and Phone/WhatsApp Number. (Legal Basis: Performance of a Contract - Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR)
- Security & System Logs (IP Addresses): We log Internet Protocol (IP) addresses and device timestamps specifically during critical security actions—such as password modifications and account credential resets—to prevent unauthorized access. (Legal Basis: Legitimate Interest - Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR)
2. Third-Party Infrastructure & Supabase
To provide a secure and reliable backend architecture, GTE Global utilizes Supabase (Supabase, Inc.) for user authentication, secure session management, and database storage.
Supabase acts as a compliant Data Processor under GDPR regulations. Your personal information (names, emails, phone numbers, and security event logs) is fully encrypted both in transit and at rest within secure EU data center infrastructure.
3. Cookies & Tracking Preferences
We use essential session cookies to keep you securely authenticated and remember your cookie preference selections. Optional analytics or marketing cookies remain strictly disabled unless you explicitly grant consent.
You can modify or withdraw your cookie preferences at any time by clicking "Cookie Settings" in the website footer.
4. Your Rights Under GDPR
Under the General Data Protection Regulation, you hold absolute rights regarding your personal information, including the right to access, rectify, or request the full deletion ("Right to be Forgotten") of your account and associated security logs.
