1. Objective and responsible body
This Privacy Policy clarifies the nature, scope and purpose of the processing (including collection, processing, use and consent) of personal information contained in our online offering and the related websites, features and content (collectively referred to as “online offer” or “Website”). The privacy policy applies regardless of the domains, systems, platforms, and devices (such as desktop or mobile) on which the online offering is being run. Provider of the online offer and responsible for the data protection law is STTech GmbH, owner: Gereon Hinz, Floriansmühlstraße 8, 80939 München (hereinafter referred to as “provider”, “we” or “us”). For the contact possibilities we refer to our imprint. The term “user” includes all customers and visitors of our online offer. The terms used, such as “Users” are to be understood gender-neutral.
2. Basic information on data processing
We only process users’ personal data in compliance with the relevant data protection regulations in accordance with the requirements of data minimization and purpose limitation (see Processing Principles: EU GDPR Article 5). This means that the data of the users are processed only in the presence of a legal permit or obligation, for the fulfillment of contractual obligations (which are necessary, for example, for the provision of the services offered) or in the presence of your consent. We take organizational, contractual and technical security measures in accordance with the state of the art to ensure that the provisions of the data protection laws are complied with and in order to protect the data processed by us against accidental or intentional manipulation, loss, destruction or against access by unauthorized persons. Insofar as data transmission to third parties is necessary for the fulfillment of legal requirements, the fulfillment of the services to be provided within the framework of contractual obligations or on the basis of your explicit consent, we always ensure that this is done safely and in accordance with data protection regulations and in accordance with EU GDPR Article 5.
3. Processing of personal data
The personal data are, in addition to the use expressly mentioned in this privacy policy, processed for the following purposes on the basis of statutory requirements, to fulfill the contract or your express consent: – The provision, execution, maintenance, optimization and security of our services, services and user services; – Ensuring effective customer service and technical support. Insofar as data transmission to third parties is necessary for the fulfillment of legal requirements, the fulfillment of the services to be provided within the framework of contractual obligations or on the basis of your express consent, we always ensure that this is done safely and in accordance with data protection regulations in accordance with EU GDPR Article 5. When contacting us (via e-mail), the details of the user are stored for the purpose of processing the request as well as in the event that follow-up questions arise. Personal data will be deleted if they have fulfilled their purpose and deletion does not conflict with any retention requirements.
4. Collection of access data
We collect data about every access to the server where this service is located (so-called server log files). The access data includes name of the retrieved web page, file, date and time of retrieval, amount of data transferred, message about successful retrieval, browser type and version, the user’s operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page), IP address and the requesting provider. We use the log data without linking it to the specific person of a user or other profiling according to the statutory provisions only for statistical evaluations for the purpose of operation, security and optimization of our online offer. However, we reserve the right to retrospectively check the log data if, on the basis of concrete evidence, the legitimate suspicion of unlawful use exists.
5. Cookies & reach measurement
Cookies are information transmitted from our web server or third-party web servers to users’ web browsers and are stored there for later retrieval. The use of cookies in the context of pseudonymous range measurement is described in this privacy policy. The usage of this online offer is also possible with the exclusion of cookies. If users do not want cookies stored on their computer, they are asked to disable the option in their browser’s system settings. Saved cookies can be deleted in the system settings of the browser. The exclusion of cookies can lead to functional restrictions of this online offer.
6. Google Analytics
We use Google Analytics, a web analytics service provided by Google Ireland Ltd. (“Google”). Google uses cookies. The information generated by the cookie about the use of the online offer by the users are usually transmitted to a Google server in the USA and stored there. Google will use this information on our behalf to evaluate the use of our online offering by users, to compile reports on the activities within this online offering and to provide us with other services related to the use of this online offer and internet usage. In this case, pseudonymous usage profiles of the users can be created from the processed data. We only use Google Analytics with activated IP anonymization. This means that the IP address of users will be shortened by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases the full IP address will be sent to a Google server in the US and shortened there. The IP address submitted by the user’s browser will not be merged with other data provided by Google. Users can prevent the storage of cookies by setting their browser software accordingly; users may also prevent data collection by Google of data which is generated by the cookie and related to their use of the online offer as well as the processing of such data by Google by downloading and installing the browser plug-in available under the following link: tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. For more information about Google’s use of data, settings and opt-out options, please visit Google’s websites: www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/partners (“Google’s use of your data when you use websites or our partners’ apps “), www.google.com/policies/technologies/ads (” Use of data for promotional purposes “), www.google.com/settings/ads (” Managing information provided by Google used to show you ads “) and www.google.com/ads/preferences (” Determine which ads Google shows you “).
7. Integration of services and content of third parties
It may occur that contents or services of third-party providers, such as maps or fonts from other websites, are included in our online offer. The inclusion of content from third-party providers always requires that third-party providers perceive the IP address of the users, since they could not send the content to the users’ browser without the IP address. The IP address is therefore required for the presentation of this content. Furthermore, providers of third-party content can set their own cookies and process users’ data for their own purposes. In the process, user profiles can be created from the processed data. We do our best to use this content in a data-saving and data-avoiding manner as far as possible and select reliable third-party providers with regard to data security. The following presentation provides an overview of third-party providers as well as their contents and links to their privacy statements, with further details on the processing of data and partly revocation possibilities (so-called opt-out): – External fonts from Google, Inc., www.google.com/fonts (“Google Fonts”). The integration of Google fonts is done by a server call on Google (usually in the US). Privacy Policy: www.google.com/policies/privacy/, opt-out: www.google.com/settings/ads/. – Maps of the “Google Maps” service provided by the third-party Google Ireland Ltd., Gordon House, 4 Barrow St,Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland. Privacy Policy: www.google.com/policies/privacy/, opt-out: www.google.com/settings/ads/. – Third-party Google Ireland Ltd.’s YouTube Platforms, Gordon House, 4 Barrow St,Dublin, D04 E5W5, Ireland. Privacy Policy: www.google.com/policies/privacy/, opt-out: www.google.com/settings/ads/.
8. User rights and deletion
Users have the right, upon request, to receive information free of charge about the personal data that we have stored about them. In addition, users have the right to correct inaccurate data, revoke consent, block the processing and delete their personal information if justifiable and to file a complaint with the responsible regulatory authority in the event of unlawful processing. The data stored with us are deleted as soon as they are no longer necessary for their purpose and the deletion does not conflict with any statutory storage requirements.
9. Changes to the privacy policy
We reserve the right to change the privacy policy in order to adapt it to changed legal situations, or to changes in the service and data processing. However, this only applies to declarations of data processing. If users’ consent is required or elements of the privacy policy contain provisions of the contractual relationship with the users, the changes will only be made with the consent of the users. Users are requested to inform themselves regularly about the content of the privacy policy.
