II. General Information on Data Processing

SCOPE OF PROCESSING OF PERSONAL DATA

We generally only process the personal data of our users to the extent necessary for the provision of a functional website and our content and services. Personal data primarily comprises all data that allows for your personal identification.

Basic legal basis for processing personal data
When processing personal data that is necessary for the fulfillment of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Article 6(1)(b) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary for the performance of pre-contractual measures.

As far as the processing of personal data is necessary for the fulfillment of a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Article 6(1)(c) of the GDPR serves as the legal basis.

The processing is lawful if it is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party, provided that the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject, which require the protection of personal data, do not prevail, in accordance with Article 6(1)(f) of the GDPR.

To the extent that we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing operations, Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

GENERAL DATA DELETION AND GENERAL STORAGE DURATION

Once the purpose of storage ceases to apply, the personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked. Furthermore, storage is permissible and possible if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws, or other provisions to which the controller is subject. Blocking or deletion of the data will also occur when a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned norms expires, unless there is a necessity for further storage of the data for the conclusion or fulfillment of a contract.

If no specific storage duration is indicated below, the aforementioned principles regarding storage shall apply.

III. Website and Log File Provision

Description and scope of data processing
Upon each access to our website, even if you do not otherwise transmit information, data and information from the calling computer system will be automatically collected. The following data, which is necessary for the technical operation of our website, will be collected:

The data is stored in our system in log files. This data is not stored together with other personal data of the user.

The operating system of the calling computer/device
Information about the browser version of the calling computer/device
the user's Internet service provider
Transferred data volume
Date and time of access
Websites from which the user arrives at our website (URL)
Websites accessed by the user through our website
the sub-pages accessed via an access system on our website,
the type of device and browser used, e.g., “iPhone 8 & Safari,”,
the IP address of the calling computer/device
LEGAL BASIS FOR DATA PROCESSING
The legal basis for the temporary storage of data and log files is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

PURPOSE OF DATA PROCESSING

The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the delivery of the website to the user's computer. For this purpose, the user's IP address must be stored for the duration of the session. Storage in log files is done to ensure the functionality of the website. Additionally, we use the data to optimize the website and ensure the security of our information technology systems. The data is not analyzed for marketing purposes in this context.

Our legitimate interest in data processing according to Art. 6 (1) (f) GDPR is also based on these purposes. Further interests include the stable and functional operation of this website as well as the achievement of objectives for the protection of the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data.

Storage Duration

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of data collection for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session is ended.

If the data is stored in log files, this will happen after seven days at the latest. Storage beyond this period is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users will be deleted or anonymized so that the calling client can no longer be identified.

Objection and Rectification Procedure

The collection of data for website provision and its storage in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, the user has no right to object.

IV. Use of Cookies

Description AND SCOPE OF DATA PROCESSING

Our website uses cookies. Cookies are small text files that are stored on the user's computer system (end device) via their browser. When a user accesses a website, a cookie can be stored on the user's operating system. This cookie contains a characteristic string of characters (cookie ID) which allows websites and servers to be associated with the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the websites and servers visited to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other internet browsers containing different cookies. Thus, the cookie allows for the unique identification of the browser upon (re)visiting the website. We use cookies to make our website more user-friendly and to enable certain functions.

On the one hand, we use so-called session cookies, which are automatically deleted by your browser immediately after you leave our website. On the other hand, for web analytics purposes, we also use persistent cookies, which enable us to recognize your browser on your next visit, for example, to remember information you provided during your last visit for your subsequent visit to our website.

The cookies store and transmit the following data, among others:

Location data, login information, IP addresses

As far as we use cookies that enable an analysis of user browsing behavior, the following data may also be transmitted: entered search terms, frequency of page views, and use of website functions.

We also work with (advertising) partners who help us optimize and make our online services more interesting for you. For this purpose, cookies from partner companies will also be stored on your hard drive when you visit our website (third-party cookies).

To the extent that we work with such advertising partners, you will be informed below about the use of such cookies and the scope of the information collected.

This website uses “Borlabs Cookie” to store cookie consents. Individual settings can be adjusted at any time via cookie settings.

LEGAL BASIS FOR DATA PROCESSING

In the case of processing personal data through cookies implemented by us, the processing takes place in accordance with Art. 6 (1)(b) GDPR for the performance of the contract, or in accordance with Art. 6 (1)(f) GDPR for the safeguarding of our legitimate interests in ensuring the best possible website functionality and a customer-friendly and effective design of the site visit.

PURPOSE OF DATA PROCESSING

The purpose of using technically necessary cookies is to make it easier for users to use websites. Some functions of our website cannot be offered without the use of cookies, as they require the browser to be recognized again even after a page change.

User data collected through technically necessary cookies is not used to create user profiles. The use of analysis cookies serves to improve the quality of our website and its content. Through analysis cookies, we learn how our website is used and can thus continuously optimize our offering. We can also identify errors.

Our legitimate interest in processing personal data also lies in these purposes according to Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR.

Objection and Rectification Procedure

Since cookies are stored on the user's computer and transmitted to our site by them, you as the user have full control over the use of cookies. You can disable or restrict the transmission of cookies by changing the settings in your internet browser.

Depending on the type of browser used, the options for managing cookie settings vary. A description can usually be found in the help menu of each browser, explaining how to change your cookie settings. Below is a compilation of links to individual browsers:

Internet Explorer: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-vista/Block-or-allow-cookies

Firefox: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/cookies-allow-and-disable

Chrome: http://support.google.com/chrome/bin/answer.py?hl=de&hlrm=en&answer=95647

Safari: https://support.apple.com/kb/ph21411?locale=en_US

Opera: http://help.opera.com/Windows/10.20/en/cookies.html

Even already saved cookies can be deleted at any time. This can also happen automatically. If cookies are deactivated for our website, it may no longer be possible to use all of the website's functions to their full extent.

The transmission of any „Flash cookies“ cannot be blocked through browser settings, but can be prevented by changing the Flash Player settings.

Partially, our partner companies also offer so-called browser add-ons, which you can save on your computer system. These allow you to object to our partner companies' respective cookies and disable tracking by them. If the computer system you use is later deleted, formatted, or reinstalled, the browser add-on must be reinstalled.

V. Newsletter

Description AND SCOPE OF DATA PROCESSING

Our website offers the option to subscribe to a free newsletter. Registration is done via the so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that we will only send you an email newsletter after you have expressly confirmed to us that you consent to receiving newsletters. To do this, we will send you a confirmation email after you register, asking you to confirm by clicking on a corresponding link in the email that you wish to receive newsletters in the future („Double-Opt-In“).

When you sign up for the newsletter, your email address, as well as your salutation, first name, and last name, will be requested as mandatory information. Your first and last name are collected solely to address you personally.

Additionally, the following further data will be collected upon registration:

IP address of the calling computer
Date and time of registration
There is no transfer of data to third parties in connection with data processing for sending newsletters. The data is used exclusively for sending the newsletter.

LEGAL BASIS FOR DATA PROCESSING

The legal basis for processing the data after the user subscribes to the newsletter, provided the user has given consent, is Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR.

The legal basis for sending the newsletter as a result of your use of services is § 7 para. 3 of the Unfair Competition Act (UWG).

PURPOSE OF DATA PROCESSING

The user's email address is collected to deliver the newsletter.

The collection of other personal data during the registration process is intended to prevent misuse of the services or the email address used.

Storage Duration

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected. The user's email address will therefore be stored as long as the newsletter subscription is active.

The other personal data collected during the registration process are generally deleted after a period of seven days.

Objection and Rectification Procedure

The newsletter subscription can be canceled by the affected user at any time with effect for the future. For this purpose, a corresponding link can be found in every newsletter, or you can send a message to the person responsible mentioned above. This will only incur transmission costs at the basic rates.

This also allows for the withdrawal of consent for the storage of personal data collected during the registration process.

After successfully unsubscribing, your email address will be immediately removed from our newsletter distribution list, unless you have expressly consented to further use of your data or we reserve the right to use your data beyond that, which is legally permissible and which we will inform you about in this statement. In the latter case, your email address will be blocked for the newsletter.

FORWARDING TO THIRD PARTIES / SENDING NEWSLETTER VIA „MAILCHIMP“

The distribution of our email newsletters is carried out with the help of the technical service provider:

The Rocket Science Group, LLC
675 Ponce de Leon Ave NE
Suite 5000
Atlanta, GA 30308 USA

The data you provide when signing up for the newsletter will be shared with this service provider.

Mailchimp uses the information we provide to send newsletters and for statistical analysis of the newsletters on our behalf. For the analysis, the sent emails include so-called “web beacons” or “tracking pixels,” which are so-called „one-pixel image files“ (small graphics) stored on our website. This allows us to determine whether a newsletter message has been opened and which links have been clicked, if any. Technical information is also collected (e.g., time of retrieval, IP address, browser type, and operating system).

The data is collected exclusively in a pseudonymized manner and will not be linked to your other personal data, thereby excluding direct personal identification. It serves exclusively for the statistical analysis of our newsletter campaigns. The results of these analyses can be used to tailor future newsletters even more precisely to the interests of the recipients.

Mailchimp's privacy policy can be found here:
http://eepurl.com/c97Tcr

LEGAL BASIS

The legal basis for the transfer and processing of your data by Mailchimp is consent pursuant to Art. 6(1)(a) of the GDPR.

VI. Contacting Us/Email Contact/Salesforce

We use the Salesforce ticketing system, a customer service platform, to process inquiries from contacts and customers via email or through our website.

Salesforce.com Germany GmbH
Erika Mann Street 31
80636 Munich
Germany

When you send us a contact request by sending us an email or by filling out the form on our website, we create a „ticket“ for your request using Salesforce. This ticket is comparable to a virtual folder in which all processing of your request by our customer support is recorded and stored on Salesforce's servers. This also includes all communication with you regarding your request to us.

For more information on data processing by Zendesk, please see Zendesk's Privacy Policy at

https://www.salesforce.com/company/privacy

Legal basis
The legal basis is Art. 6(1)(b) GDPR. The processing of your data is necessary for the performance of our contract or for pre-contractual measures, to ensure the most optimized and effective response and handling of our customers' inquiries.

Objection and Rectification Procedure

If users do not agree to data collection on and data storage in the external system of Salesforce, we offer them the option of submitting service requests by phone, fax, or mail as an alternative contact method.

We will delete the data as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected. This is usually the case when the respective communication with you has ended. Communication is considered ended when the circumstances indicate that your request has been finally clarified.

You can also object to the processing at any time, either to us or to Salesforce.

If statutory retention periods conflict with deletion, data will be deleted immediately after the statutory retention period expires; until then, your data will be blocked.

VII. Registration/Login with Channel Piot Solutions

Description AND SCOPE OF DATA PROCESSING

Users can register with us by providing personal data during the sign-up process. During registration, the data is entered into a form, transmitted to us, and stored by us. The data is only shared with third parties in the cases described in this Privacy Policy. The following data is collected during the registration process:

First and last name
Company
Email address

LEGAL BASIS FOR DATA PROCESSING

To the extent that the provision of your data serves the fulfillment of a contract concluded with us, Article 6(1)(b) GDPR is an additional legal basis for processing the data.

PURPOSE OF DATA PROCESSING

To the extent that data is collected for the processing of the service contract concluded with us, this is done to uniquely identify you as a customer, for the proper processing of the contract with you, and for the processing of any existing liability and warranty claims.

Storage Duration

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer required for the purpose for which it was collected. This is the case for data collected during the registration process if the registration on our website is permanently cancelled or modified, unless the data is still required for the performance of the contract concluded with us. Even after the contract has been concluded, it may be necessary to store the contractual partner's personal data in order to comply with contractual or legal obligations.

Objection and amendment possibility
As a user, you can cancel your registration at any time. You can change the data stored about you at any time by modifying this data in our login area.

If the data is necessary for the performance of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, early deletion of the data is only possible to the extent that no contractual or legal obligations preclude such deletion, such as retention periods under tax and commercial law. In this case, the data will be blocked and deleted after the retention periods have expired.

VIII. Google Analytics (Universal)

This website uses the „Google Analytics“ service, which is provided by

Google LLC
1600 Amphitheatre Parkway, Mountain View
CA 94043
USA

is offered, for the analysis of website usage by users.

The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Ireland Limited, which transmits data to the USA.

During your website visit, the following data, among others, will be recorded:

Pages viewed
Achieving „website goals“ (e.g., contact inquiries and newsletter sign-ups)
Your behavior on the pages (e.g., clicks, scrolling behavior, and time spent)
Your approximate location (country and city)
Your IP address (anonymized so that it cannot be uniquely identified)
Technical information such as browser, internet service provider, device, and screen resolution
Source of your visit (i.e., which website or advertising medium led you to us)
The service also uses „cookies“ - text files that are stored on your device. The information collected by the cookies is usually sent to a Google server in the USA and stored there. IP anonymization is used on this website. Users' IP addresses will be truncated within the member states of the EU and the European Economic Area. This truncation eliminates the personal reference of your IP address.

As part of the Data Processing Agreement that website operators have entered into with Google, Google uses the collected information to compile an evaluation of website usage and website activity and to provide services related to internet usage.

You have the option to prevent the storage of cookies on your device by adjusting your browser settings accordingly. It is not guaranteed that you will be able to access all functions of this website without restrictions if your browser does not allow cookies.

You can also use a browser plugin to prevent the information collected by cookies (including your IP address) from being sent to Google and used by Google. The following link will take you to the plugin: https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

Here you can find more information about Google's data usage: https://support.google.com/analytics/answer/6004245?hl=de

LEGAL BASIS

The legal basis for the use of Google Analytics and the associated data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a) GDPR, i.e., the user's consent.

You may withdraw your consent at any time using the cookie consent management tool.

OPTIONS FOR OBJECTING AND REMOVAL / DEACTIVATION OF GOOGLE ANALYTICS

You may revoke your consent at any time with future effect by adjusting your browser settings to prevent cookies from being stored; however, please note that in this case, you may not be able to use all features of this website to their full extent.

You can prevent cookies from being stored by adjusting your browser settings accordingly; however, please note that in this case, you may not be able to use all the features of this website to their full extent.

You also have the option to object to the collection of usage data via Google Analytics.

Google provides a so-called deactivation add-on, which you can access via the following link

http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=de

can install.

The browser add-on for disabling Google Analytics gives you control over what data about visited websites is collected by Google Analytics. The add-on informs Google Analytics' JavaScript (ga.js) that no data or information about your website visit should be transmitted to Google Analytics. Google interprets the installation of the browser add-on as an objection. If the computer system you are using is later deleted, reformatted, or reinstalled, the browser add-on must be reinstalled to disable Google Analytics. You also have the option to disable tracking directly without an add-on.

Please note that if you clear your browser data (cache) or visit our website in incognito mode, you will need to repeat the tracking deactivation process.

Google AdWords customers are shown the total number of users who clicked on an ad and were directed to a website with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any personally identifiable information. If you do not wish to participate in tracking, you can block this by disabling the Google Conversion Tracking cookie via your internet browser under user settings.
