General information on data processing

This privacy notice applies to the users of our website (“users”) as well as to our customers, suppliers and other business partners or our contacts at our customers, suppliers and other business partners (“contacts”) in their role as so-called data subjects (of data processing).

1. Scope of processing personal data

We only collect and use personal data of our users as well as our contacts insofar as this is necessary to provide a functional website as well as for the provision, distribution and marketing of our contents and services.

In principle, users or contacts are not obliged to provide us with their personal data. However, the use of certain services or areas of the website may require the provision of personal data, e.g. registration, contacting us or entering into a contract with us. Mandatory data are generally marked accordingly. If you do not wish to provide us with the mandatory data, you will unfortunately not be able to use the corresponding service or we may not be able to enter into or continue the corresponding contract with you or your company.

2. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data.

During the processing of personal data required for the performance of a contract to which the data subject is a party, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures.

Insofar as the processing of personal data is required to fulfil a legal obligation to which our company is subject, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR serves as the legal basis.

In the event that the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Article 6(1)(d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If processing is necessary to safeguard 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 interests just referred to, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing. Legitimate interests is the typically applicable legal basis when processing data of contacts with whom we personally have not entered into a direct contract (but only with the company for which our contacts work).

3. Data erasure and storage period

The personal data of the data subject will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required for the purpose for which they were collected. However, the data is stored for a longer period of time as far as the further storage of the data is required by the European or national legislator in EU regulations, laws or other provisions to which the data controller is subject, for example, because a certain retention period is obligatory. In this case, the data will be deleted as soon as the relevant retention obligation(s) has (have) been fulfilled. Until then, however, the data will continue to be stored solely for the purpose of fulfilling the legal obligation and the data will be blocked for processing beyond this.

Provision of the website and creation of log files

1. Description and scope of data processing

Every time you visit our website, our system automatically collects data and information from the computer system of the calling computer.

The following data is collected:

(1) Information about the browser type and version used

(2) The user’s operating system

(3) the Internet service provider of the user

(4) The IP address of the user

(5) Date and time of access

(6) Websites from which the user’s system reaches our website

(7) Websites accessed by the user’s system via our website

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

2. Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the temporary storage of the data and, if applicable, the log files is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

3. Purpose of data processing

The temporary storage of the IP address by the system is necessary to enable the website to be delivered to the user’s computer. For this, the user’s IP address must remain stored for the duration of the session. If the data is stored in log files, this is done to ensure the functionality of the website. In addition, the data enables us to optimize the website and to ensure the security of our information technology systems. No evaluation of the data for marketing purposes takes place in this context. Our legitimate interest in data processing pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR also lies in these purposes.

4. Duration of storage

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer needed to achieve the purposes set out above for which it was collected. In the case of the collection of data for the provision of the website, this is the case when the respective session has ended. If the data is stored in log files, this is generally the case after seven days at the latest. Further storage for the purpose of investigating malfunctions is possible. In this case, the IP addresses of the users are deleted or alienated so that an assignment of the calling client is no longer possible. Further storage for the purpose of clarifying security incidents is also possible; in such cases, the data will be deleted as soon as the clarification or any legal dispute has been completed.

5. Objection and removal possibility

The collection of data for the provision of the website and the storage of data in log files is absolutely necessary for the operation of the website. Consequently, there is no possibility of objection on the part of the user – beyond the case of the legal right to object (see section “Rights of the data subject”).

This website uses the remarketing function of Google LLC (“Google”). This function is used to present users of the website with interest-based advertisements as part of the Google advertising network. For this purpose, the browser of the website user stores so-called “cookies” (see section “Use of cookies”) that allow to recognize users when they visit websites that belong to the Google advertising network. On these pages, the user can then be presented with advertisements that relate to content that the user has previously accessed on websites that use Google’s remarketing function. Our legitimate interest in data processing also lies in these purposes. According to its own information, Google collects personal data during this process. The legal basis for the use of Google Remarketing is Art. 5 para. ePrivacy Directive in conjunction with Section 15 para. 3 TMG or Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f. GDPR.

Mandatory information: First name, last name, company, street, postal code, city, telephone, e-mail.
Voluntary information: Title, function, address of the homepage.

In the course of the registration process, the user’s consent to the processing of this data is obtained.

2. Legal basis for processing

The legal basis for the processing of data is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR if the user has given his consent. If the registration serves the fulfilment of a contract to which the user is a party, or the implementation of pre-contractual measures, the additional legal basis for the processing of the data is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. b GDPR.

3. Purpose of data processing

Registration is necessary for the provision of certain contents and services on our website, unless it serves the conclusion of a contract with the user. In addition, the user must register in order to fulfil a contract with the user or to carry out pre-contractual measures.

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer needed to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. In the case of a registration without a contract, this is the case for the data collected during the registration process if the registration on our website is cancelled or changed. In the case of the conclusion of a contract or for the implementation of pre-contractual measures, this is the case if the data is no longer required for the implementation of the contract. Even after conclusion of the contract, it may still be necessary to store personal data of the contractual partner in order to fulfil contractual or legal obligations.

5. Objection and removal possibility

As a user, you have the possibility to cancel the registration at any time. You can change the data stored about you at any time. If the data is required to fulfil a contract or to carry out pre-contractual measures, premature deletion of the data is only possible insofar as there are no contractual or statutory obligations to the contrary.

Contact form and e-mail contact

At the time the message is sent, the user’s IP address and the date and time of registration are also stored.

Your consent may be obtained for the processing of the data within the scope of the sending process and reference is made to this Data Protection Declaration.

Alternatively, you can contact us via the e-mail address provided. In this case, the user’s personal data sent with the e-mail will be stored.

In this context, the data will not be passed on to third parties. The data is used exclusively for processing the conversation.

2. Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for the processing of data is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR if the user has given his consent.

The legal basis for the processing of data transmitted in the course of sending an e-mail or collected within the framework of a contact form without consent is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

3. Purpose of data processing

The processing of the personal data from the input mask serves us only for managing the establishment of contact. In the event of contact by e-mail, this also constitutes the necessary legitimate interest in the processing of the data. The other personal data processed during the sending process serves to prevent misuse of the contact form and to guarantee the security of our information technology systems.

4. Duration of storage

The data will be deleted as soon as it is no longer needed to achieve the purpose of the survey. For the personal data from the input mask of the contact form and data that is sent by e-mail, this is the case when the respective conversation with the user has come to an end. The conversation is terminated when it can be inferred from the circumstances that the facts in question have been finally clarified.

The user has the possibility to revoke his consent to the processing of personal data at any time with effect for the future. If the user contacts us by e-mail, he can object to the storage of his personal data at any time. In such a case, the conversation cannot be continued.

The objection takes place via a written declaration to our postal address stated at the beginning or a declaration in text form to our mail address stated at the beginning.

In this case, all personal data stored in the course of contacting us will be deleted unless contractual or legal obligations prevent a deletion.

Customer and contact data management

1. Description and scope of data processing

In order to manage the data of clients and our contact persons (this term also includes the data of contact persons at potential clients) in our group of companies (the Insight Software group of companies) as effectively as possible, we use a so-called Client Relationship Management System (“CRM System”) within the group. This system stores the master data of our customers as well as important information about the customers and our contact persons. For contact persons, we typically record the name, job title and professional contact information (e.g. business e-mail address and/or telephone number) as well as information on the consent status regarding our newsletter).

The data stored in the CRM system can also be accessed by employees of other companies in the Insight Software group of companies. However, this access is limited to what is administratively necessary.

2. Legal basis for data processing

The legal basis for processing data in the course of the described customer and contact data management is Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR.

3. Purpose of the data processing

The processing of personal data in the course of customer and contact data management serves to effectively shape our relationships with our customers, suppliers and other business partners as a central component of our business activities. We have a legitimate interest in designing and managing our customer relationships or communication as well as the communication with our suppliers and other business partners in the best possible way. To this end, it is particularly important to involve other companies in our group of companies to the extent necessary for internal administrative purposes.

4. Duration of storage

Data is deleted as soon as it is no longer required to achieve the purpose for which it was collected. With regard to customer data management, this is usually the case when the relationship with the customer or the initiation of a business relationship has ended. In this case, the data will be deleted after the expiry of any relevant limitation periods (generally 3 years after the end of the relationship/the initiation of the same, starting with the end of the year in which the relationship/the initiation ended). However, this does not apply if contractual or legal obligations require a longer storage.

5. Objection and removal possibility

You have the possibility to object to the processing of your personal data on the basis of the legal basis Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR for personal reasons. If the data processed in the CRM system is related to direct marketing, you have the right to object to this at any time without giving reasons.

The objection takes place via a written declaration to our postal address stated at the beginning or a declaration in text form to our mail address stated at the beginning.

Recipients of your personal data

We make your data available to certain partners, other trustworthy companies or persons in connection with the data processing described. This, of course, takes place exclusively in accordance with applicable law.

In particular, we reserve the right to use service providers as so-called data processors for the processing of data, who may only process personal data in accordance with our instructions.

Transfer of data to countries outside the European Economic Area
We also share personal data with recipients located in countries outside the European Economic Area (“EEA”).

(3) the data controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but you need it to assert, exercise or defend legal claims, or

(4) if you have filed an objection to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR and it has not yet been determined whether the legitimate reasons of the data controller outweigh your reasons.

If the processing of personal data concerning you has been restricted, such data may only be processed – apart from being stored – with your consent or for the purpose of asserting, exercising or defending rights or protecting the rights of another natural or legal person or on grounds of an important public interest of the Union or a Member State.

If processing has been restricted according to the above conditions, you will be informed by the data controller before the restriction is lifted.

4. The right to deletion

a) Duty to delete

You may request the data controller to delete the personal data relating to you without delay and the controller is obliged to delete this data without delay if one of the following reasons applies:

(1) the personal data concerning you is no longer needed for the purposes for which it was collected or otherwise processed;

(2) You revoke your consent on which the processing was based pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR, and there is no other legal basis for the processing;

(3) You file an objection to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 para. 1 GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate reasons for the processing or you file an objection to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 para. 2 GDPR;

(4) the personal data concerning you is being processed unlawfully;

(5) The deletion of personal data relating to you is necessary to fulfil a legal obligation under Union law or the law of the Member States to which the data controller is subject;

(6) the personal data concerning you is collected in terms of information society services offered pursuant to Art. 8 para. 1 GDPR.

b) Information to third parties

If the data controller has made the personal data concerning you public and is obliged to delete it pursuant to Art. 17 para. 1 GDPR, he shall take appropriate emergency measures, including technical measures, taking into account the available technology and implementation costs, to inform data processors who process personal data that you as the data subject have requested the deletion of all links to this personal data or of copies or applications of this personal data.

c) Exceptions

The right to deletion does not exist insofar as the processing is necessary

(1) to exercise freedom of expression and information;

(2) for the performance of a legal obligation required for processing under the law of the Union or of the Member States to which the controller is subject or for the performance of a task in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority conferred to the controller;

(3) for reasons of public interest in the field of public health pursuant to Art. 9 para. 2 lit. h and i and Art. 9 para. 3 GDPR;

(4) for archiving purposes in the public interest, scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89 para. 1 GDPR, insofar as the law referred to under a) is likely to render impossible or seriously impair the attainment of the objectives of such processing, or

(5) for asserting, exercising or defending legal claims.

5. The right to information

If you have exercised your right to have the data controller correct, delete or limit the processing, he/she is obliged to inform all recipients to whom the personal data concerning you have been disclosed of this correction or deletion of the data or restriction on processing, unless this proves impossible or involves a disproportionate effort.

The data controller shall have the right to be informed of such recipients.

6. The right to data transferability

You have the right to receive the personal data concerning you that you have provided to the data controller in a structured, common and machine-readable format. In addition, you have the right to pass this data on to another person in charge without obstruction by the person in charge to whom the personal data was provided, provided that

(1) processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. a GDPR or Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a GDPR or a contract pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 sentence lit. b GDPR and

(2) processing is carried out by means of automated methods.

The freedoms and rights of other persons must not be affected by this. In exercising this right, you also have the right to request that the personal data concerning you be transferred directly from one data controller to another data controller, if this is technically feasible.

The right to transferability shall not apply to the processing of personal data necessary for the performance of a task in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority conferred on the controller.

7. Rights to object

You have the right to object at any time, for reasons arising from your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you on the basis of Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. e or f GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on these provisions.

The data controller no longer processes the personal data relating to you, unless he can prove compelling grounds for processing that outweigh your interests, rights and freedoms or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

If the personal data concerning you is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of the personal data concerning you for the purpose of such advertising. This also applies to profiling insofar as it is connected with such direct advertising.

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

8 Right to revoke the Data Protection Declaration of Consent

You have the right to revoke your Data Protection Declaration of Consent at any time. The withdrawal of consent shall not affect the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until its withdrawal.

9. Automated decision in individual cases including profiling

You have the right not to be subject to a decision based exclusively on automated processing – including profiling – that has legal effect against you or significantly impairs you in a similar manner. This does not apply if the decision

(1) is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between you and the data controller,

(2) has been made due to legislation of the Union or of the Member States to which the data controller is subject that is admissible and that legislation contains appropriate measures to safeguard your rights, freedoms and legitimate interests; or

(3) has been made with your express consent.

However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data pursuant to Art. 9 para. 1 GDPR, unless Art. 9 para. 2 lit. a or g GDPR applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests.

With regard to the cases mentioned in (1) and (3), the data controller takes appropriate measures to protect the rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person by the data controller, to state his own position and to challenge the decision.

10. Right of appeal to a supervisory authority

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right of appeal to a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State where you are staying, working or suspected of infringing, if you believe that the processing of personal data concerning you is contrary to the GDPR. The supervisory authority to which the complaint has been lodged shall inform the complainant of the status and results of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Article 78 GDPR.
