What is Personal Data?

Who is responsible for data processing?

The responsible party within the meaning of the DPDPA and the GDPR is Synthia Group LLC of 1111b South Governors Avenue Ste 6711 - Dover - Delaware - 19904, Delaware, USA (“Synthia Group”, “we”, “us”, or “our”). If you have any questions or if you wish to exercise your rights, please feel free to email us using info@synthia.group, or use our Contact Form.

  • the data is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract / pre-contractual measures;

  • the data is necessary for the fulfillment of a legal obligation; or

  • the data is necessary to protect the legitimate interests of our company and business.


We process and store your Personal Data only for the period of time required to achieve the respective processing purpose or for as long as a legal retention period exists (in particular commercial and tax law in accordance with Delaware`s Commercial Law and Fiscal Code and others for up to 6 years. The corresponding data is routinely deleted once the purpose has been achieved or the retention period has expired.


Data transfers

In certain cases, it is necessary to transmit the processed Personal Data in the course of data processing. In this respect, there are different recipient bodies and categories of recipients.


  1. Internal

If necessary, we transfer your Personal Data within KonnektVPN. Of course, we comply with the associated legal framework and ensure that your data is processed properly. Access to your Personal Data is only granted to authorized employees who need access to the data due to their job, e.g., to fulfill your order or to contact you in case of queries.

  • in the context of fulfilling your orders, shipping, and delivery,

  • to use marketing services and to advertise our social media channels and merchandise online,

  • to communicate with you,

  • to provide our website and shop, and 

  • to state authorities and institutions as far as this is required or necessary.


We usually do not transfer Personal Data to countries outside the USA. However, if we do, we ensure that the processing of your Personal Data is governed by Processing Agreements that include Standard Contractual Clauses to ensure a high level of data protection.


Links to other websites

Please note that if you use a link from our website to a third-party website, that third party may also set new cookies that are not covered by this policy. In such cases, we recommend that you read the cookie policy on the third-party website itself.


Security of your data

In order to protect the data stored with us in the best possible way against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction, or access by unauthorized persons, we use appropriate technical and organizational security measures. The security levels are continuously reviewed in cooperation with security experts and adapted to new security standards.


Nevertheless, Internet-based data transmissions can always have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. Databases or data sets that include Personal Data may be breached inadvertently or through wrongful intrusion. Upon becoming aware of a data breach, we will notify all affected individuals whose Personal Data may have been compromised as expeditiously as possible after discovering the breach.

Processing of your Personal Data

  1. Log files

As mentioned above, we want to provide you with an optimal user experience in our online shop and with our advertisements, which is tailored to your individual needs. To this end, we work together with various service providers and technology providers and use cookies and tracking methods. 


The following data is collected anonymously for the purpose of demand-oriented design and optimization of this website:


  • Information on the device used (e.g., operating system, browser, screen resolution, language set.

  • Information on pages viewed during the website visit (e.g., category or product detail pages)

  • Information within the ordering process (e.g., order number, delivery, and payment method, shipping and/or billing address)

  • Information on access data (e.g., entry via email newsletters, other websites or online advertising measures).


The scope of the stored and processed data is limited purely to the performance of statistical evaluations. Your IP address is made unrecognizable immediately after receipt, which means it is impossible to assign usage profiles to IP addresses.


The collection of the data is necessary from a technical point of view to continuously optimize the functions and the presentation of our website on different devices, operating systems, and browsers and to make our offer more interesting for you as a user. It is therefore based on the legitimate interest. 


  1. Cookies 

We distinguish between two categories of cookies: 


Essential and Necessary cookies. These cookies are essential or necessary to ensure that a website works properly and is secure so that you can navigate a website and use its features. Without these cookies, certain features of a website would not function, and thus you would not be able to use certain services. 


Optional cookies. These cookies are non-essential for the website to function and require your consent. When it comes to optional cookies, the following distinctions are made:


  • Functional cookies are sometimes called convenience cookies. These cookies allow a website to remember a user's options (including user IDs stored, consents given, or languages selected) and other personalization options you have selected when browsing.


  • Analysis and performance cookies are used to monitor and improve the function and service of a website. Those can track down problems when using a website, facilitate online surveys, record visitor numbers, and provide analytics metrics. 


  • Advertising cookies or targeting cookies. They are used to deliver customized advertising to the user. This can be very convenient, but also very irritating.


The DPDPA and the EU`s Privacy and Electronic Communications Directive (“PECD”), require us to ask for your consent when using specific cookies (in particular any cookie that is not strictly necessary for the operation of the website, for example, Functional cookies, Analysis and performance cookies and Advertising cookies or targeting cookies “Optional cookies”). 


Further and as the DPDPA and the GDPR also require a legal basis for the use of personal data in relation to cookies, the use of cookies would then be your consent as well as our legitimate interest. 


We only use optional cookies with your prior consent. If you are visiting our website for the first time, a banner will appear on our website asking for your consent to use optional cookies. If you consent to this, we will store a cookie on your computer and the banner will not be displayed again for the lifetime of the cookie. Thereafter, or if you actively delete this cookie beforehand, the banner will be displayed again the next time you visit our website in order to obtain your consent again.


Of course, you can also use our website entirely without cookies. You can configure the use of cookies in your browser settings by following the relevant link Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Flash cookies, Microsoft Internet Explorer and Edge, Opera, Safari at any time or deactivate them completely. However, this may lead to restrictions in the functions or user-friendliness of our offer. 


  1. Pixel Cookies and Tags

We use so-called Pixel Cookies and Tags (“Pixel Cookies”). A Pixel Cookie is an advertising tool and typically consists of a JavaScript code snippet that allows us to understand and track visitors' activity on our website. For this purpose, Pixel Cookies collect and process information about visitors of our website and the device used (so-called event data).


Event data collected through Pixel Cookies is used for targeting our advertisements and improving ad delivery and personalized advertising. For this purpose, the event data collected on our website by means of Pixel Cookies is transmitted to the relevant operator of the Pixel Cookie and in part, also stored on your device. However, this only happens with your consent, and we and the relevant operator of the Pixel Cookie are considered joint controllers. Nonetheless, for the subsequent processing of the transmitted Event Data, the relevant operator of the Pixel Cookie is the sole controller.


For more information about how the relevant operator of the Pixel Cookie processes personal data, including the legal basis on which they rely on and how you can exercise your rights against, please refer to the following Privacy Policies: Facebook, X (formerly Twitter) and YouTube, Google.

We process and store the Personal Data provided in the contact enquiry solely for the purpose of processing and responding to your enquiry and contacting you. If you contact us, we will process the data you provide to respond to you and answer your questions and requests. In doing so, the principle of data economy and data avoidance is observed in that you only have to provide the data that we absolutely need from you in order to contact you. These are usually your first and last name, your email address, the topic selection and the message field itself. In addition, your IP address is processed out of technical necessity and for legal protection. The legal basis for processing is our legitimate interest, the provision or initiation of a contractual service and your consent.

We keep a temporary log of connection data for troubleshooting purposes, which includes a randomly generated userId and is securely deleted every few hours. This randomly generated userId cannot be linked to you. We have deliberately and consistently chosen not to log all other data in order to limit our legal liability.  We do, however, log the Connection status, bandwidth consumption so that we can bill you properly and maintain a high quality of service. All usage data is anonymised and not linked to your real, public IP address. We do NOT log your VPN sessions, browsing behavior, the websites you visit, or any other activity related to your VPN connection. In addition, we NEVER store VPN connection logs and timestamps that associate your incoming and outgoing IP address or session duration.

You may give us your consent in a number of ways including by selecting a box on a form where we seek your permission to send you marketing information, or sometimes your consent is implied from your interactions or contractual relationship with us. Where your consent is implied, it is on the basis that you would have a reasonable expectation of receiving a marketing communication based on your interactions or contractual relationship with us.
