Data Protection

1 Definitions

The data protection declaration of Adaptavist Germany GmbH is based on the terms used by the European regulations and regulator in the enactment of the General Data Protection Regulation directive (GDPR). Our data protection declaration should be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. In order to guarantee this, we would like to explain the terms used in advance.

We use the following terms in this data protection declaration, among others:

Personal data: Personal data is any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter "data subject"). A natural person shall be regarded as identifiable if, directly or indirectly, in particular by attribution to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier or one or more specific characteristics, the expression of the physical, physiological, genetic, psychological, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person can be identified.

Data subject: A data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the data controller

Processing: Processing means any operation or set of operations which is carried out with or without the aid of automated means relating to personal data, such as collection, recording, organisation, sorting, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, comparison or integration, qualification, deletion or destruction.

Limitation of processing: Limitation of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the intention of limiting future processing.

Profiling: Profiling is any automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of such personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects relating to work performance, financial situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, conduct, or whereabouts or movement of that natural person.

Pseudonymisation: Pseudonymisation means the processing of personal data in such a way that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures ensuring that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

Data controller: The data controller is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body who alone, or jointly with others, decides on the purposes and means of the processing of personal data. Where the purposes and means of such processing are laid down by Union law or by the law of the Member States, the person or persons responsible may be designated in accordance with Union law or the law of the Member States, as the case may be.

Processor: A processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the data controller.

Recipient: A natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body to whom personal data are disclosed, whether or not a third party. However, authorities which may receive personal data in the context of a specific investigation mandate under Union law or the law of the Member States shall not be considered as recipients

Third party: Any natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, the data controller, the processor and the persons authorised to process the personal data under the direct responsibility of the data controller or processor.

Consent: Consent shall mean any voluntary, informed and unambiguous expression by the data subject of his or her will in the particular case, in the form of a statement or other unequivocal confirmatory act, indicating that he or she consents to the processing of his or her personal data.

 

2 Modification and updating of the data protection declaration

2.1 We ask you to inform yourself regularly about the content of our data protection declaration. We will adapt the data protection declaration as soon as changes in the data processing we carry out make this necessary.

2.2 In the event of such a change, we will notify you at least six weeks before it takes effect. You are generally entitled to a right of revocation with regard to the consent you have given.

2.3 Please note that (if you do not exercise your right of withdrawal) the current version of the data protection declaration is the valid one.

 

3 Relevant legal basis

3.1 In accordance with Art. 13 GDPR we inform you about the legal basis of our data processing. If the legal basis is not mentioned in the data protection declaration, the following applies: The legal basis for obtaining consent is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a and Art. 7 GDPR, the legal basis for processing in order to fulfil our services and carry out contractual measures as well as answer inquiries is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b GDPR, the legal basis for processing in order to fulfil our legal obligations is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR, and the legal basis for processing in order to safeguard our legitimate interests is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR.

3.2 In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person necessitate the processing of personal data, Art. 6 para. 1 lit. d GDPR serves as the legal basis.

4 Categories of data processed

4.1 We collect, store, use, transmit or delete the following personal data:

• Basic data (for example, names, addresses)
• Contact data (e.g. email addresses, telephone numbers)
• Contract data (for example, contract purpose, duration, customer category).
• Usage data (e.g. websites visited, interests in content, access times)
• Meta/communication data (e.g. device information, IP addresses)

4.2 In principle, no special categories of data pursuant to Article 9 paragraph 1 GDPR will be processed unless they are supplied by the customer or user etc. for processing.

 

5 In principle, no special categories of data pursuant to Article 9 paragraph 1 GDPR will be processed unless they are supplied by the customer or user etc. for processing.

5.1 We will inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or may result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary for a contract to be concluded that a data subject makes personal data available to us which must subsequently be processed by us. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with them. Failure to provide personal data would mean that the contract could not be concluded with the data subject. Before the data subject provides personal data, the data subject must contact our data protection officer. Our data protection officer informs the data subject on a case-by-case basis whether the provision of personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of a contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and what consequences the nonavailability of the personal data would have.

 

6 Security precautions

6.1 We take appropriate technical and organisational measures in accordance with Art. 32 GDPR, taking into account the current state of the art, the implementation costs and the nature, extent, circumstances and purposes of the processing as well as the different probability of occurrence and severity of the risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, to ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk; these measures include in particular safeguarding the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data by controlling the physical access to the data as well as the access to, inputting, passing on, safeguarding the availability and separation of the data concerning them. In addition, we have established procedures to ensure that data subjects' rights are exercised, that data is deleted and that we react to data threats. Furthermore, we take the protection of personal data into account as early as the development or selection of hardware, software and processes, in accordance with the principle of data protection through technology design and through data protection-friendly default settings (Art. 25 GDPR).

6.2 The security measures include in particular the encrypted transmission of data between your browser and our server.

 

7 Cooperation with contract processors and third parties

7.1 Insofar as we disclose data to other persons and companies (contract processors or third parties) within the scope of our processing, transfer them to them or otherwise grant them access to the data, this shall only take place on the basis of legal permission (e.g. if a transfer of the data to third parties, such as payment service providers, pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR is necessary for the performance of the contract), if you have consented to this, if a legal obligation provides for this or on the basis of our legitimate interests (e.g. when using agents, web hosts, etc.).

7.2 If we commission third parties with the processing of data on the basis of a so-called "order processing contract", this is done on the basis of Art. 28 GDPR.

 

8 Transfers to third countries

8.1 If we process data in a third country (i.e. outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA)) or if this is done in the context of the use of third-party services or disclosure or transfer of data to third parties, this will only occur if it is done to fulfil our (pre)contractual obligations, on the basis of your consent, a legal obligation or on the basis of our legitimate interests. Subject to legal or contractual permissions, we process or allow the data to be processed in a third country only if the special requirements of Art. 44 ff. of GDPR are met. This means that the processing takes place, for example, on the basis of special guarantees, such as the officially recognised determination of a data protection level corresponding to the EU (e.g. for the USA through the "Privacy Shield") or the observance of officially recognised special contractual obligations (so-called "standard contractual clauses").

 

9 Data collection

9.1 The website of Adaptavist Germany GmbH collects certain general data and information each time the website is accessed by a data subject or an automated system. This general data and information are stored in the log files of the server. This includes browser types and versions used, the operating system used by the accessing system, the website from which an accessing system accesses our website (the so-called referrer), the child websites which are accessed via an accessing system, the date and time of access to the website, an Internet protocol address (IP address), the Internet service provider of the accessing system and other similar data and information which serve to avert dangers in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.

9.2 When using this general data and information, we do not draw any conclusions about the data subject. This information is required to correctly deliver the content of our website, to optimize the content and advertising of our website, to ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for law enforcement in the event of a cyber-attack. This anonymously collected data and information is therefore evaluated by us both statistically and with the aim of increasing data protection and data security in our company in order to ultimately ensure an optimum level of protection for the personal data processed by us. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by the data subject.

 

10 Provisioning of contractual services

10.1 We process basic data (e.g., names and addresses as well as contact data of users), contract data (e.g., services used, names of contact persons, payment information) for the purpose of fulfilling our contractual obligations and services pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit b. GDPR. The entries marked as mandatory in online forms are required for the conclusion of the contract.

10.2 Users can optionally create a user account on servicedesk.veniture.net for finding out the current status of requests, or for viewing previous requests. Within the framework of registration, the required mandatory information will be communicated to the users. The user accounts are not public and cannot be indexed by search engines. If users have terminated their user account, their user account-associated data will be deleted, subject to its retention for commercial or tax reasons pursuant to Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. It is the responsibility of the user to secure their data before the end of the contract in the event of termination. We are entitled to irretrievably delete all user data stored during the term of the contract.

10.3 Within the scope of registration and renewed registrations as well as use of our online services, we store the IP address and the time of the respective user action. The storage is based on our legitimate interests, as well as the user's protection against misuse and other unauthorized use. This data will not be passed on to third parties unless it is necessary to pursue our claims or there is a legal obligation to do so pursuant to Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. c GDPR.

10.4 We process usage data (e.g., the websites visited on our website, interest in our products) and content data (e.g., entries in the contact form or user profile) for advertising purposes in a user profile in order to display, for example, product information based on the services the user has previously used.

10.5 The deletion takes place after expiration of legal warranty and comparable obligations, the necessity of data retention is reviewed every three years; in the case of legal archiving obligations, the deletion takes place after their expiration (end of commercial (6 years) and tax (10 years) retention obligation); information in the customer account remain until its deletion.

 

11 Cookies and right to object to direct advertising

11.1 We use temporary and permanent cookies, i.e. small files that are stored on users' devices (for an explanation of the term and function, see last section of this data protection declaration). In some cases, cookies serve security purposes or are necessary for the operation of our online service (e.g. for the presentation of the website) or to save the user decision when confirming the cookie banner. In addition, we or our technology partners use cookies for range measurement and marketing purposes, about which users are informed in the course of the data protection declaration.

11.2 A general objection to the use of cookies for online marketing purposes can be raised for a large number of services, especially in the case of tracking, via the US website http://www.aboutads.info/choices/ or the EU website http://www.youronlinechoices.com/ . Furthermore, storage of cookies can be prevented by disabling them in the browser settings. Please note that in this case not all functionality provided by this online service can be used.

 

12 Contact possibilities via the website

12.1 Due to legal regulations, the website of Adaptavist Germany GmbH contains information that enables quick electronic contact to our company as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (email address). If a data subject contacts the data controller by email or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject shall be automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted voluntarily by a data subject to the data controller are stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject.

12.2 The data of the user can be stored in our Customer Relationship Management System or comparable inquiry organization.

12.3 We will delete the requests if they are no longer necessary. We check the necessity every two years; inquiries from customers who have a customer account are stored permanently and refer to the customer account details (9.2) for deletion. In the case of statutory archiving obligations, deletion takes place after their expiration (end of commercial (6 years) and tax (10 years) retention obligation).

 

13 Comments and contributions

13.1 If users leave comments or other contributions, their IP addresses will be deleted on the basis of our legitimate interests within the meaning of Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f. of the German Data Protection Act. GDPR stored for 7 days.

13.2 This is done for our security, if someone leaves illegal contents (insults, forbidden political propaganda, etc.) in comments and contributions. In this case, we ourselves can be prosecuted for the comment or contribution and are therefore interested in the author's identity.

 

14 Use of data when registering for the email newsletter

14.1 On the website of Adaptavist Germany GmbH, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to the newsletter of our company. The personal data transferred to the person responsible for processing when ordering the newsletter is determined by the input field used for this purpose.

14.2 Adaptavist Germany GmbH informs its customers and business partners in regular intervals about offers of the company by means of a newsletter. The newsletter of our company can only be received by the data subject if

• the data subject has a valid email address, and
• the data subject registers to receive the newsletter.

14.3 For legal reasons, a confirmation email in the double opt-in procedure will be sent to the email address entered for the first time by a data subject for the purpose of sending the newsletter. This confirmation email is used to check whether the owner of the email address as the data subject has authorised receipt of the newsletter.

14.4 When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by the Internet Service Provider (ISP) to the computer system used by the data subject at the time of registration as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace the (possible) misuse of the email address of a data subject at a later date and therefore serves to legally safeguard the data controller.

14.5 The personal data collected as part of a newsletter registration will only be used to send our newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers to the newsletter could be informed by email if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or registration in this respect, as might be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or changes to the technical conditions. The personal data collected as part of the newsletter service will not be passed on to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter can be cancelled by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data, which the data subject has given us for the newsletter subscription, can be revoked at any time. For the purpose of revoking your consent, a corresponding link can be found in every newsletter. It is also possible at any time to unsubscribe from the newsletter dispatch directly on the website of the data controller or to inform the data controller of this in any other way.

 

15 Newsletter tracking

15.1 The newsletters of Adaptavist Germany GmbH contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a thumbnail image embedded in emails sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and analysis. This facilitates a statistical evaluation of the success or failure of online marketing campaigns. Using the embedded pixel code, the company can recognize whether and when an email was opened by a data subject and which links in the email were clicked by the data subject.

15.2 Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and evaluated by the data controller in order to optimize the newsletter subscription and to adapt the content of future newsletters even better to the interests of the data subject. This personal data will not be passed on to third parties. Data subjects are entitled at any time to revoke the relevant separate declaration of consent submitted via the double opt-in procedure. After revocation, this personal data will be deleted by the data controller. Unsubscribing from the newsletter indicates to the company automatically as revocation.

• The processing is unlawful, the data subject refuses the deletion of the personal data and instead requests the restriction of the use of the personal data.
