2. Processing of data

2.1 General, deletion

Personal data is any data that makes you identifiable as a person, such as name, address, e-mail addresses and online identifiers.

The personal data of our users is used as follows:

  • the execution of our services
  • the guarantee of technical support

We only transfer the personal data to third parties if this is done on the basis of your consent, if this is necessary for billing purposes (carrying out bank transactions), the delivery of goods (delivery by postal service providers) or otherwise necessary to fulfil our contractual obligations towards you.

Personal data will be deleted as soon as they have fulfilled their purpose and the deletion does not conflict with any retention obligations.

2.2 Informational use of our website

When using the website for information purposes only, i.e. if you do not log in to use the website, register or otherwise provide us with information, we do not collect any personal data, with the exception of the data that your browser transmits to enable you to visit the website.

These are:

  • The IP address
  • The date and time of request
  • Time zone difference
  • Content of the request (specific page)
  • Access status/HTTP status code
  • The quantity of any data transferred
  • The website from which the request comes
  • The browser
  • The operating system and its interface
  • The language and version of the browser software.

We store this data in the form of log files for a limited period of time in order to be able to analyze and rectify any technical problems. The legal basis for this is Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. Due to the nature of the internet, this data is necessarily processed on a range of servers, before your request reaches our web server. Consequently, the collection and use are also possible in "third countries" (e.g. in the USA). Our company has no influence on this process. Apart from these technical constraints, the provider of this website does not transmit any personal data to countries outside the scope of the EU Data Protection Regulation or without an adequate level of data protection.

In addition to the pure informational use of our website, we offer various services that you can use if you are interested. To do so, you usually have to provide further personal data that we use to provide the respective service. If additional voluntary information is possible, it will be marked accordingly. We do not automatically pass on your data to third parties or third countries/third countries. In the following, you will learn more about the individual data processing in the respective context of use.

2.3 Contact by e-mail and contact form

If you contact us by contact form or e-mail, your e-mail address, your name, if applicable, your address and telephone number will be stored in order to answer your questions. The mandatory fields are marked with *.

Please briefly describe your request in the request form. This helps us to quickly assign the right contact person and to process it purposefully. Limit your information to what is necessary and, if possible, refrain from providing personal data.

If you contact us through a form on our website, the content of the form will be forwarded to us by e-mail.

The messages are sent via the web server of the company 1&1 IONOS SE. We have concluded an order processing contract with our partner to be able to guarantee a very high level of data protection here as well.

Data entered as part of a form is cached for a limited time. This is done for the purpose of functional testing and troubleshooting.

Your data will only be processed for correspondence with you and for the purpose for which you have provided us with the data in the context of this communication, e.g., to process your request and post-processing. The data is usually automatically deleted after your request has been finally processed by us and there are no reasons for further storage. (e.g., subsequent product order or other fulfilment of (pre-)contractual measures and purposes).

We use your e-mail address exclusively to answer your (pre-)contractual questions and concerns. The same applies in the event that further exchange of information is subsequently desired or necessary within the framework of the conclusion of the contract. Any other use, in particular for advertising purposes or a transfer to third parties, does not take place, unless you consent to this separately.

Data processing is carried out based on the statutory provisions of Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b of the GDPR. The processing of the data serves the fulfilment of (pre-)contractual purposes.

2.4 Customer surveys

If you are our customer we use your email address to send you surveys about your satisfaction with our products. Our surveys are send by our data processor Survio s.r.o., Hlinky 995/70, 603 00 Brno, Czech Republic. Your personal data is stored within the European Union. We have concluded a data processing agreement with Survio according to Art. 28 GDPR. The legal basis for sending email surveys is our legitimate interest to improve our products and services. You can object to this kind of processing at any time.

2.5 Transfer within the company group

The transmission of personal data within the companies of the Group takes place for internal administrative purposes of central customer service and order processing. This means that a transmission only takes place if you place an order or are in customer contact with us, for example by e-mail. The Group obliges its affiliated companies through internal guidelines to implement technical-organizational measures to ensure the security of processing.

2.6 Data protection for applications and during the application process

We collect and process the personal data of applicants for the purpose of processing the application process. Processing may also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant submits corresponding application documents electronically, for example by e-mail. If we conclude an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data will be stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If no employment contract is concluded with the applicant, the application documents will be deleted six months after notification of the rejection decision, provided that deletion does not conflict with any other legitimate interests of the controller. Other legitimate interest in this sense is, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

2.7 Use of winIDEA and winIDEA Community Edition

Our products winIDEA and winIDEA Community Edition are free of charge, downloadable without registration and valid indefinitely. Depending on the product, usage scenario or used functions, licensing may exceptionally be necessary, which necessarily goes hand in hand with the processing of personal data (surname, first name, contact details, company).

Such data processing takes place based on the statutory provisions of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. b of the GDPR. The processing of the data serves exclusively the fulfillment of (pre-)contractual purposes in connection with the license management in order to prevent illegal use of software.

2.8 Download Link

For some of our downloads, a personalized download link must be requested to be able to provide you with the documents and software. The e-mail address will only be used to send the personalized download link as part of our (pre-)contractual measures. Any other use, in particular for advertising purposes or a transfer to third parties, does not take place, unless you consent to this separately.

The Download Link are sent via the web server of the company 1&1 IONOS SE. We have concluded an order processing contract with our partner to be able to guarantee a very high level of data protection here as well. Data processing is carried out based on the statutory provisions of Article 6(1)(f) GDPR. b of the GDPR. The processing of the data serves exclusively the fulfillment of (pre-)contractual purposes and will be deleted 1 year after delivery of the link.

2.9 Integration of YouTube videos

Videos from the external video platform YouTube are integrated into our website. By default, only images without a direct link to YouTube are embedded, which do not establish an automated connection to YouTube's servers. This means that the operator does not receive any data from the user when accessing the websites.

Only when you start the video with pressing the button "Play Video", the necessary data (including the Internet address of the current page and your IP address) is transmitted to the operator with your consent. Only in this case the necessary session cookie is set, which will be deleted immediately when you leave the page.

YouTube is an offer of YouTube LLC, 901 Cherry Ave., San Bruno, CA 94066, USA, a subsidiary of Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheater Parkway, Mountainview, California 94043, USA. Further information on the purpose and scope of data processing (also outside the European Union and outside the USA) as well as information on setting options to protect your privacy can be found in the data protection declaration: policies.google.com/privacy.

2.10 Support Portal

Our Support portal offers helpdesk services, which are used to send support requests to us and to track the process of and communicate about existing support requests.

Creating An Account

To use the Support portal, you will first need to create a user account using your work email address, surname, first name, company details and time zone. You will need to confirm the registration to prove that you have access to the provided email address.

Legal Basis For Your Personal Data

Your email address and the contact information which you provide contain personal data. The legal basis for the processing of your data is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. b) GDPR.

Data Storage

We are using Google Cloud platform Germany, Europe, for hosting services. Further information on Google Data processing and security terms can be found here: https://cloud.google.com/terms/data-processing-terms?skip_cache=true. All containers are encrypted and not disclosed to Google or any other 3rd party by any means. We ensure the security by regular audits and tests executed by the company’s Information Security Management System (see certificate). We may only process and transfer personal data within the TASKING Group (https://www.isystem.com/contact.html).

Deleting Your Account

Registered accounts can be deleted at any time. For more information, please refer to the User Manual. You are also automatically removed from any support cases, participating as a “watcher”. The historical data of posted support requests are immediately anonymized.

Watchers

“Watchers” are an effective method for following the progress of a support case (comparable with a cc in an email). The “watcher” may be invited by authorized users by adding the email address to participate as an unregistered user. In this case, the “watcher” will receive notifications about the ticket progress but will not be able to participate in the conversation until registering with the necessary information described above. If these email notifications should no longer be received, one can unsubscribe by using the “unsubscribe” link provided in each email, which will remove the email address from the list of “watchers” on the given ticket and emails, related to this topic, will no longer be received. The personal data (e-mail address) is deleted immediately.

ReCAPTCHA This website uses reCAPTCHA v2 to determine whether a human being or a computer is entering a certain input on web forms. reCAPTCHA v2 is a service of Google and used on the following landing pages of the Support Portal only:

  • Register as a new User
  • Forgot Password

The legal basis for the usage and data processing is Art. 6 para. 1 lit. f GDPR. We have a legitimate interest in this data processing to ensure the security of the two landing pages and to protect them from automated inputs (attacks). Every time you visit one of these two landing pages (that uses reCAPTCHA v2), a direct connection is established between your browser and a Google server in the United States. The information that you have visited this site with your IP address is transmitted directly from your browser to the Google server and stored there. Google uses the following data to determine whether you are a human being or a computer:

  • IP address of the terminal device used.
  • Address of the website you are visiting and where the captcha is embedded.
  • Date and duration of the visit.
  • Identification data of the browser and operating system type used.
  • Google Account, if you are logged in at Google.
  • Mouse movements on the reCAPTCHA surfaces and tasks where you have to identify images.

The service is subject to the different privacy policies of Google Inc. For further information on the privacy policies of Google Inc. please visit https://policies.google.com/privacy?hl=en. (By using one of these two pages mentioned above, you agree to the collection, processing and usage of the data collected about you by Google in the manner and for the purposes described above.)

3. Cookies

This website uses so-called cookies. Cookies serve to make our offer more user-friendly, effective and secure. Cookies are small text files that are stored on your computer and stored by your browser.

This website uses cookies to the following extent:

  • Transient cookies (temporary use)
  • Persistent cookies (temporary use),

Transient cookies are automatically deleted when you close the browser. These include, in particular, session cookies. These store a so-called session ID, with which various requests from your browser can be assigned to the joint session. This allows your computer to be recognized when you return to the website. The session cookies are deleted when you log out or close the browser.

Persistent cookies are automatically deleted after a specified period of time, which may vary depending on the cookie. You can delete the cookies at any time in the security settings of your browser.

This stored information is stored separately from any further data provided by us. In particular, the data of the cookies are not linked to your other data.

You can deactivate the storage of cookies in your browser or delete stored cookies, but this may lead to limited functionality, delays or unusability of certain parts of the website. Detailed information on the specific use of cookies can be found in our Cookie Policy and settings for these cookies can be adjusted here.

4. Use of Matomo

This website uses the privacy-friendly open-source web analysis service Matomo as an alternative to Google Analytics. We use the service exclusively for statistical purposes with the aim of optimizing our Internet offer. The analysis required for this is carried out on the basis of a so-called log file analysis. Matomo does not collect its data itself but uses the database of the web server. By default, each web server (Apache, nginx, lighttpd, IIS) writes a log file in which various information about a visit (see also above under 2.2.)
To be filed:

  • The domain that is being accessed.
  • The IP address of the requesting computer.
  • Date and time of access.
  • What kind of HTTP request it is.
  • The called URL.
  • The HTTP status code.
  • Website from which access is made (referrer URL).
  • Browser used and, if applicable, the operating system of your computer (user agent).

The Log File analysis differs from the tracking in particular by the fact that no cookies must be used. Instead, only code sequences are implemented on our website without your personal data being stored. Also, the software is only operated on our own servers. The statistical results generated in this way with the help of Matomo enable us to carry out a purely anonymous analysis of the use of our website. It is not possible to draw conclusions about a specific person, as IP addresses, among other things, are anonymized immediately before they are stored. For this purpose, our web server shortens each requesting IP address before it is stored in the log file without the possibility of returning this process. The IP address transmitted by your browser will also not be merged with other data collected by us.

Due to all these measures, Matomo cannot create user profiles from the data that is read from the log file due to a lack of identification features that make a clear assignment possible.

Further information on the privacy settings of the Matomo software can be found under the following link: https://matomo.org/docs/privacy/ .

Under https://matomo.org/docs/log-analytics-tool-how-to/ you can find out more about log file analysis.

The legal basis for the use of Matomo is the legitimate interest in the analysis to improve the experience on our website in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit.f) GDPR.  

5. Social Media

We use the following social media platforms for company presentation and communication. For this purpose, our website contains simple (and non-embedded!) links to LinkedIn and YouTube. The links to the websites of the social media platforms can be recognized by the respective company logo. When you click on the symbols, no data is processed, but you are redirected to the company appearance of us on the respective social media platform. Only then will data be processed from the respective provider in its own responsibility. Information on the processing of your personal data when using the provider's website can be found here or in the information on data protection of the respective provider. The following linked data protection information and opt-out options are expressly referred to. We have no influence on the fact that the providers of the social media platforms comply with the data protection regulations.

These social media platforms may process personal data outside the EU. In this respect, we refer to the above data protection notices of the social media platforms. The respective social media platforms may be able to create user profiles and store cookies on your computer from your usage behavior and the resulting interests and activities on your part. If you have an account on the respective social media platform and are logged in, your usage behavior can even be stored independently of the device. Your usage profile can be used, for example, to place advertisements that are presumed to be in your interests. If you log out before pressing the link, you can at least partially avoid data processing.

We process the personal data exclusively for communication with you via the social media platform you have chosen and for optimizing our online presence. We make sure that no interests on your part are affected here, which outweigh this legitimate interest on our part (Art. 6 I p. 1 f GDPR). Thus, as you have already given effective consent about the corresponding data processing to the respective provider of the social media platform, the processing of your personal data also takes place on the basis of this consent (Art. 6 I p. 1 a GDPR).

6. Your rights

You have the right to:

a) To request information about the categories of processed data, the processing purposes, any recipients of the data, the planned storage period (Art. 15 GDPR);
b) to request the correction or completion of incorrect or incomplete data (Art. 16 GDPR);
c) to revoke a given consent at any time with effect for the future (Art. 7 para. 3 GDPR);
d) to reject the data processing that is to be carried out on the basis of a legitimate interest for reasonsarising from your particular situation (Article 21(1) GDPR);
e) in certain cases, to request the deletion of data within the framework of Art. 17 GDPR - in particular if the data is no longer required for the intended purpose or is processed unlawfully, or you revoke your consent in accordance with above (c) or have declared an objection in accordance with above (d);
f) to demand the restriction of data under certain conditions, insofar as deletion is not possible or the deletion obligation is disputed (Art. 18 GDPR);
g) on data portability, i.e. You can receive your data that you have provided to us in a commonly used machine-readable format, such as CSV and when necessary, transmit it to others (Art. 20 GDPR).
h) If you have given your consent to the use of data, you can revoke it at any time with effect for the future.

All requests for information, deletion and correction, requests for information, requests for data portability, objections to data processing, etc. should be sent by e-mail to privacy@isystem.com.

If you are of the opinion that the processing of your data violates data protection rights, or your data protection claims have otherwise been violated in any way, you can also contact the responsible data protection supervisory authority, https://www.lda.bayern.de/de/index.html.

7. Indicative time-limit for the deletion and blocking of personal data

Your personal data will only be stored for as long as it is necessary to achieve the storage purpose or if this is ordered or provided for by legal regulations. If the purpose of storage no longer applies or if a storage period prescribed by law expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.

8. Data security (security measures)

In accordance with the legal requirements, considering the state of the art, the implementation costs, scope, circumstances, and purposes of the processing as well as the different probabilities of occurrence and the extent of the threat to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, we take appropriate technical and organizational measures to ensure a level of protection appropriate to the risk.

Measures shall include ensuring the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of data by controlling physical and electronic access to the data, as well as access, input, disclosure, ensuring availability and their separation. Furthermore, we have set up procedures that ensure the exercise of data subject rights, the deletion of data and reactions to the threat to the data. Furthermore, we consider the protection of personal data already during the development or selection of hardware, software, and procedures in accordance with the principle of data protection, through technology design and through data protection-friendly default settings.

Shortening of the IP address: If IP addresses are processed by us or by the service providers and technologies used and the processing of a complete IP address is not required, the IP address will be shortened (also referred to as "IP masking"). The last two digits, or the last part of the IP address after a period, are removed or replaced by placeholders. The shortening of the IP address is intended to prevent or make it much more difficult to identify a person based on their IP address.

SSL encryption (https): To protect your data transmitted via our online offer, we use SSL encryption. You can recognize such encrypted connections by the prefix https:// in the address bar of your browser.

9. Changes to the Privacy Policy

We reserve the right to change the data protection information to adapt it to changed legal situation or changes to our offers. Therefore, please look at the information on a regular basis and inform yourself about the latest information on data processing and contact details before using our services and when contacting us.
