Privacy Policy

As the protection of your data is a major matter of concern for us, we want to take the time to inform you about what data we use during your visit and why we use it. If you still have questions on the way we work with your personal data, you can refer to our data protection officer (contact details below).

What is personal data?

The meaning of “personal data” is defined in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). According to the new regulation, personal data includes all information that refers to an identified or identifiable natural person. This can include for example, your rightful name, your address, your telephone number or your date of birth. Even information on how you can use this or other websites may contain personal data.

Providing the website

An access log through our webserver has been fully anonymised. But our system does use certain security plugins from WordPress which protect our website from attack and misuse. Normal, non-damaging website accesses are usually not logged by the plugins. However, as soon as there is the suspicion that our system is subject to an attack, data relating to the visitor’s computer system are automatically logged for forensic purposes and stored in firewall logs. The data stored includes the IP address, the data and time, the browser user agent and the reason for the suspicious activity.

Purpose of the processing
The capturing of logfiles serves to record averted or damaging website attacks, to secure forensic activities and to secure and stabilize our website.

Legal basis
The legal basis for this is Article 6.1(f) GDPR.

Legitimate interests
The purposes mentioned also include the legitimate interests in data processing within the meaning of Article 6.1(f) GDPR.

Data storage – duration
Data is deleted when it is no longer necessary to achieve the purpose for which it was captured. As a rule, this is the case after one month at the latest.

Objection
If data is captured in the extent described, this has become necessary to secure and to operate the website. There is, therefore, no opportunity to raise objection.

Legal basis for collecting and processing personal data

As soon as we have your consent to process personal data, Article 6.1(a) GDPR serves as the legal basis for processing your personal data.

When processing your personal data to perform a contract between you and intersoft consulting services AG, Article 6.1(b) GDPR serves as the legal basis. This also applies to processes required to conduct pre-contractual activities.

When processing personal data to perform a legal obligation to which our companies is subject, Article 6.1(c) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

Article 6.1(f) GDPR provides the legal basis for processing when the processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by our company or by a third party and where such interests are not overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject.

Data storage – duration

Your personal data will be deleted or the processing will be restricted as soon as the data has met the purpose for which it was stored. Storage of the data beyond this may be possible if this is stipulated by European or national legislators in EU directives, laws or other regulations to which the controller is subject. The data will be deleted or its processing will be restricted when a prescribed deadline expires, unless it is necessary to continue storing the data to conclude or perform a contract.

Cookies

Permanent or persistent cookies are used for repeated visits and stored in the user’s browser for a predefined time. First-party cookies are set by the website the user visits. Only this website may read information from cookies. Third-party cookies are set by organizations that are not operators of the website that the user visits. These cookies are used by marketing companies, for example.

  • wp-gdrts-log: Initial provider session cookie for the purpose of identifying the user and preventing double evaluations. The storage period is 12 months.

Legal basis
Article 6.1(f) GDPR provides the legal basis for deploying cookies.

Legitimate interests

Matomo

We use the open source web analysis service Matomo on this website, a service by “InnoCraft Ltd”, a company based in 7 Waterloo Quay PO625 Wellington, New Zealand. InnoCraft is based outside the EU and has appointed a representative in the EU: ePrivacy Holding GmbH, Große Bleichen 21, 20354 Hamburg, Germany (privacy@innocraft.com).

Matomo processes certain user information for a short period of time. To protect the privacy of users, instead of a fingerprint, we use a so-called config_id at Matomo, in order to summarize various actions as ‘visits’ within a short time window of up to 24 hours.
The visitor’s config_id is a randomly set, time-limited hash of a limited set of the visitor’s settings and attributes. The config_id is a character string that is calculated for a visitor based on their operating system, browser, browser plugins, IP address and browser language. The basis for creating the “config_id” is an anonymized IP address of the website visitor.
The data collected using Matomo technology is not transmitted to Matomo but processed exclusively on our server.

Legal basis and right of withdrawal
The legal basis for this data processing is our legitimate interest pursuant to Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR. This consists of the statistical analysis of user behavior for the purpose of optimizing the functionality of the website and for marketing purposes. The interests of the users are sufficiently preserved through anonymization. You have the option to object to the collection of your data at any time.

Social Bookmarks

So-called social bookmarks (e.g. from Facebook, Twitter and Xing) have been integrated on our website. Social bookmarks are internet bookmarks that allow users of such services to collect links and news messages. These are only included on our website as a link to the corresponding services. After clicking on the integrated graphic you will be forwarded to the page of the respective provider, i.e. only then will user information be transferred to the respective provider. For information on the handling of your personal data when using these websites, please refer to the respective data protection regulations of the providers.

GD Star Rating

The users of our website are entitled to rate us. To make this possible, we use the GD Star Rating plug-in on this website. To prevent double ratings, a cookie is placed on the device of the person rating us. In addition to that, we store your IP address as an MD5 hash, which means that we will not be able to recognize your IP address. Therefore, at no time can we trace back the origin of a rating. In the backend we only see the hashed IP address, the date and time of the rating and the rating itself.

Contact

We also collect your personal data when you yourself give your approval to do so – for example when you want us to contact you. Of course, personal data transferred in this manner is solely used for the purpose intended: establishing contact.

These details are provided voluntarily and, in these cases, are initiated by you yourself. Provided the details supplied are details of communication channels (such as email address, phone number), we will use these channels to contact you to deal with your concerns.

Purpose of the processing
The purpose of processing your data in this sense is to deal with and answer your concern.

Legitimate interests
The purpose described also represents the legitimate interest in processing your data.

Legal basis
The legal basis for processing the data you entered to establish contact with us is Article 6.1(f) GDPR.

Data storage – duration
We will delete the data we received from you in establishing contact either as soon as it is no longer required to fulfil the purpose for storing it, as soon as your concern has been dealt with in full and no further communication with you is necessary, or if you wish us to delete the data.

Objection
You can refer to our data protection officer at any time with respect to deleting the data to your query (see below for contact details). However, this might also mean that we cannot fully deal with your concern.

Transferring Data to Third Parties

We generally do not transmit your data to third parties, unless we are legally obliged to do so. Should external service providers come into contact with your personal data, we shall have made use of legal, technical and organisational measures and regular monitoring to ensure that such persons comply with the relevant data protection regulations. Furthermore, these service providers may only use your data in accordance with our mandate.

Your Rights

You have the right to request confirmation as to whether your personal data is being processed by us. If this is the case, we will gladly provide you with information about this personal data and the information listed in Art. 15 GDPR. In addition, you have the right to rectification (Art. 16 GPDR), the right to restriction of processing (Art. 18 GPDR), the right to erasure(Art. 17 GDPR) and the right to data portability (Art. 20 GDPR) under the respective legal conditions.

You have the right to object to the processing under the statutory conditions (Art. 21 GDPR).

Irrespective of these rights and the possibility of asserting another administrative or legal redress, you may at any time exercise your right to complain to a supervisory authority, in particular, in the member state of your residence, your place of work or the location of the alleged infringement if you are of the opinion that the processing of personal data affecting you infringes data protection regulations (Article 77 GDPR).
