3. general information on data processing

3.1 Scope of the processing of personal data

As a matter of principle, we process personal data of our users only to the extent that this is necessary for the provision of a functional website as well as our content and services. The processing of personal data of our users is regularly carried out only with the consent of the user. An exception applies in those cases where it is not possible to obtain prior consent for factual reasons and the processing of the data is required by legal regulations.

3.2 Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing operations of personal data, Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. a DSGVO serves as the legal basis.

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

Insofar as processing of personal data is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. c DSGVO serves as the legal basis.

In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person make processing of personal data necessary, Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. d DSGVO serves as the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary to protect a legitimate interest of our company or a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the first-mentioned interest, Art. 6 (1) p. 1 lit. f DSGVO serves as the legal basis for the processing.

3.3 Data deletion and storage period

The personal data of the data subject will be deleted or blocked as soon as the purpose of storage ceases to apply. Storage may take place beyond this if this has been provided for by the European or national legislator in Union regulations, laws or other provisions to which the controller is subject. Data will also be blocked or deleted if a storage period prescribed by the aforementioned standards expires, unless there is a need for further storage of the data for the conclusion or performance of a contract.

4. Rights of the person concerned

Werden personenbezogene Daten von Ihnen verarbeitet, sind Sie Betroffener i.S.d. DSGVO und es stehen Ihnen folgende Rechte gegenüber dem Verantwortlichen zu:

If your personal data is processed, you are a data subject within the meaning of the GDPR and have the following rights vis-à-vis the controller:

4.1 Right of access

You may request confirmation from the controller as to whether personal data concerning you are being processed by him.

If such processing is taking place, you may request information from the controller about the following:

The purposes for which the personal data are processed;
the categories of personal data which are processed;
the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been or will be disclosed;
the planned duration of the storage of the personal data concerning you or, if concrete information on this is not possible, criteria for determining the storage period;
the existence of a right to rectification or erasure of the personal data concerning you, a right to restriction of processing by the controller or a right to object to such processing;
the existence of a right of appeal to a supervisory authority;
any available information on the origin of the data, if the personal data are not collected from the data subject;
the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, pursuant to Article 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR and, at least in these cases - meaningful information about the logic involved and the scope and intended effects of such processing for the data subject.
You have the right to request information about whether the personal data concerning you are transferred to a third country or to an international organization. In this context, you may request to be informed about the appropriate safeguards pursuant to Art. 46 DSGVO in connection with the transfer.

4.2 Right to rectification

You have a right to rectification and/or completion vis-à-vis the controller if the personal data processed concerning you are inaccurate or incomplete. The controller shall carry out the rectification without undue delay.

4.3 Right to restriction of processing.

Under the following conditions, you may request the restriction of the processing of personal data concerning you:

if you contest the accuracy of the personal data concerning you for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data;
the processing is unlawful and you object to the erasure of the personal data and request instead the restriction of the use of the personal data;
the controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of processing, but you need them for the establishment, exercise or defense of legal claims; or
if you have objected to the processing pursuant to Article 21 (1) DSGVO and it is not yet clear whether the legitimate grounds of the controller outweigh your grounds.
If the processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted, such data may - apart from being stored - only be processed with your consent or for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims or for the protection of the rights of another natural or legal person or for reasons of important public interest of the Union or a Member State.

If the restriction of processing has been restricted in accordance with the above conditions, you will be informed by the controller before the restriction is lifted.

4.4 Right to deletion

a) Obligation to delete

You may request the controller to erase the personal data concerning you without undue delay, and the controller is obliged to erase such data without undue delay, if one of the following reasons applies:

The personal data concerning you are no longer necessary for the purposes for which they were collected or otherwise processed.
You revoke your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. a or Art. 9 (2) lit. a DSGVO and there is no other legal basis for the processing.
You object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) DSGVO and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or you object to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (2) DSGVO.
The personal data concerning you has been processed unlawfully.
The erasure of the personal data concerning you is necessary for compliance with a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.
The personal data concerning you has been collected in relation to information society services offered pursuant to Article 8(1) of the GDPR.

b) Information to third parties

If the controller has made the personal data concerning you public and is obliged to erase it pursuant to Article 17(1) of the GDPR, it shall take reasonable steps, including technical measures, having regard to the available technology and the cost of implementation, to inform data controllers which process the personal data that you, as the data subject, have requested that they erase all links to or copies or replications of such personal data.

c) Exceptions

The right to erasure does not exist to the extent that the processing is necessary

For the exercise of the right to freedom of expression and information.
for compliance with a legal obligation which requires processing under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject, or for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller;
for reasons of public interest in the area of public health pursuant to Art. 9(2)(h) and (i) and Art. 9(3) DSGVO;
for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or statistical purposes pursuant to Article 89(1) DSGVO, insofar as the right referred to in section a) is likely to render impossible or seriously prejudice the achievement of the purposes of such processing; or
for the assertion, exercise or defense of legal claims.
4.5 Right to information

If you have asserted the right to rectification, erasure or restriction of processing against the controller, the controller is obliged to inform all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed of this rectification or erasure of the data or restriction of processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.

You have the right against the controller to be informed about these recipients.

4.6 Right to data portability

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to the controller in a structured, common and machine-readable format. You also have the right to transfer this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data was provided, provided that

the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a DSGVO or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a DSGVO or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b DSGVO and
the processing is carried out with the help of automated procedures.
In exercising this right, you also have the right to have the personal data concerning you transferred directly from one controller to another controller, insofar as this is technically feasible. Freedoms and rights of other persons must not be affected by this.

The right to data portability does not apply to processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

4.7 Right to object

You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is carried out on the basis of Article 6 (1) sentence 1 lit. e or f DSGVO; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

The controller shall no longer process the personal data concerning you unless it can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending legal claims.
If the personal data concerning you is processed for the purposes of direct marketing, you have the right to object at any time to processing of the personal data concerning you for the purposes of such marketing; this also applies to profiling, insofar as it is related to such direct marketing.
If you object to the processing for direct marketing purposes, the personal data concerning you will no longer be processed for these purposes.

You have the possibility, in connection with the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC, to exercise your right to object by means of automated procedures using technical specifications.

4.8 Right to revoke your declaration of consent under data protection law

You have the right to revoke your declaration of consent under data protection law at any time. The revocation of the consent does not affect the lawfulness of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.

4.9 Automated decision in individual cases including profiling.

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing - including profiling - which produces legal effects vis-à-vis you or similarly significantly affects you. This does not apply if the decision

is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the controller,
is permitted by legal provisions of the Union or the Member States to which the controller is subject and these legal provisions contain appropriate measures to protect your rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests, or
is carried out with your explicit consent.
However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Article 9(1) of the GDPR, unless Article 9(2)(a) or (b) of the GDPR applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect the rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests.

With regard to the cases referred to in 1. and 3. above, the controller shall take reasonable steps to safeguard the rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision.

4.10. Right to complain to a supervisory authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your residence, place of work or the place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data concerning you infringes the GDPR.

The supervisory authority to which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant of the status and outcome of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Article 78 GDPR.

Use of Google Tag Manager

1. scope of the processing of personal data

We use the Google Tag Manager (https://www.google.com/intl/de/tagmanager/) of Google Ireland Ltd, Gordon House, Barrow Street, D04 E5W5, Dublin, Ireland (hereinafter referred to as: Google). With the Google Tag Manager, tags of Google's services and of third-party providers can be managed and bundled and embedded on an online presence. Tags are small code elements on an online presence that are used, among other things, to measure visitor numbers and behavior, to record the impact of online advertising and social channels, to use remarketing and targeting, and to test and optimize online presences. When a user visits the online presence, the current tag configuration is sent to the user's browser. It contains instructions on which tags to trigger. Google Tag Manager takes care of triggering other tags, which in turn may collect data. Information on this can be found in the passages on the use of the corresponding services in this privacy policy. Google Tag Manager does not access this data.
Further information on Google Tag Manager can be found at www.google.com/intl/de/tagmanager/faq.html and in Google's privacy policy: policies.google.com/privacy.

2. purpose of the data processing

The purpose of the processing of personal data is the collected and clear management and efficient integration of third-party services.

3. legal basis for the processing of personal data

The legal basis for the processing of the users' personal data is basically the consent of the user according to Art. 6 para. 1 p.1 lit. a DSGVO.

Use of plugins via external service providers

1. description and scope of data processing

We integrate certain plugins on our website via external service providers in the form of content delivery networks. When they call up our website, a connection is established to the servers of the providers we use to retrieve content and store it in the cache of the user's browser. As a result, personal data may be stored and analyzed in server log files, especially device and browser information (in particular, the IP address and operating system). We use the following services:

SC-Networks Ltd.
2. purpose of data processing

The use of the functions of these services serves the delivery and acceleration of online applications and content.

3. legal basis for data processing

The collection of this data is based on Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f DSGVO. The website operator has a legitimate interest in the technically error-free presentation and optimization of its website.

4. duration of storage

Your personal information will be stored for as long as necessary to fulfill the purposes described in this privacy policy or as required by law.

Terms of use for whitepapers

We process personal data (title, surname, first name, e-mail address) from you for the purpose of sending you our whitepaper. The legal basis for this is consent in accordance with Art. 6 (1) a and Art. 7 DS-GVO.

Use of YouTube

Content (such as videos) from the YouTube platform may also be embedded on our website. This service is operated by YouTube, a subsidiary of Google. Google Ireland Limited, Gordon House, Barrow Street Dublin 4, Ireland is responsible for data processing in the European area. When you visit a part of our website that is equipped with YouTube content, a connection is established to the servers of YouTube or Google, as a result of which they receive your IP address. In the process, the fact that you have visited our website is also communicated when you play the YouTube videos. If you are logged into your YouTube account at the same time, this information can also be directly assigned to your personal profile. You can prevent this by logging out of your YouTube account beforehand. For details on data protection at YouTube and Google, in particular on the type, scope and purpose of data processing, please refer to Google's privacy policy at: https://policies.google.com/privacy

YouTube also statistically evaluates the views of the videos and provides us with reports on these evaluations, which, however, only contain general information on the views, such as the total number of views. In this respect, we do not receive any more detailed information about the individual users. We embed the videos in such a way that no cookies are set by YouTube when you access the videos on our website. We therefore assume that in the context of the evaluations of the video views of YouTube no more precise evaluation of individual users can be made. YouTube also evaluates the data automatically and independently, without us being able to deactivate or influence this or gain a closer insight into the analyses.

We use YouTube content to improve the user experience when using our website. We have integrated the YouTube content in such a way that a data transfer only takes place when you click on the video and reload or release the external content. The basis for the integration of YouTube content is therefore Art. 6 para. 1 p. 1 lit. a) DSGVO. You can freely revoke your consent at any time with effect for the future by disabling the reloading of external content again by deactivating the checkbox.

In connection with the above-mentioned functions, YouTube may also transmit the data processed in the process to servers outside the EU, in particular in the USA, insofar as this is necessary to provide these services. The transfer of data in the USA may therefore give rise to additional risks, for example, it may be more difficult to enforce the rights of the data subject to this data.

Therefore, we have concluded the EU standard data protection clauses with YouTube and Google, respectively, and these clauses also stipulate the implementation of appropriate protective measures, which, depending on the need for protection of the data, may also include their encryption and are improved in accordance with the legal and technical conditions for appropriate protection of the data. Insofar as a transfer of data to the USA or another third country takes place, such a third country transfer is based on your consent pursuant to Art. 49 (1) sentence 1 lit. a) DSGVO, which you grant via the consent in the Consent Manager.

For more information on the purpose and scope of data collection and its processing by YouTube, please refer to Google's privacy policy at: https://www.youtube.com/intl/ALL_de/howyoutubeworks/user-settings/privacy/. There you will also find further information on your rights and setting options for protecting your privacy.
