Collection and use of data for system-internal & statistical purposes

Your internet browser automatically transmits data to our web server when accessing our website, for technical reasons. These include, but are not limited to, the date and time of access, URL (address) of the referring website, retrieved files, amount of data sent, browser type and version, operating system and your IP address. This data is stored separately from other data that you enter during the use of our offer. It is not possible for us to assign this data to a specific person. The data does not contain any information that allows conclusions to be drawn about individuals. They are collected and used solely for statistical purposes and for analysis purposes, such as improving the offer, and subsequently deleted.

Collection and use of personal data

Personal data (eg name, e-mail address) will only be collected and used by us if you enter this data in an input field or by e-mail for the purpose of requesting us or using a service or offer and send us or you have expressly consented to the collection and use of this data. These entries are voluntary for you. Your personal data will be used exclusively for specific purposes (for example for order and contract processing or for the provision and maintenance of your customer account).

Newsletter and e-mail advertising

As far as the possibility exists to register on our website for a newsletter, we use your e-mail address for own advertising purposes, until you unsubscribe from the newsletter. The deregistration is possible at any time free of charge and informally.

Moreover, you have the right to revoke the further receipt of advertising by e-mail (newsletter delivery) at any time by revocation. From the revocation you will receive no more advertising by e-mail from us.

Comments function in the blog on the website

The Widas ID GmbH offers users the possibility to leave individual comments on individual blog contributions on a blog, which is on the website of the controller. A blog is a web-based, publicly-accessible portal, through which one or more people called bloggers or web-bloggers may post articles or write down thoughts in so-called blogposts. Blogposts may usually be commented by third parties.

If a data subject leaves a comment on the blog published on this website, the comments made by the data subject are also stored and published, as well as information on the date of the commentary and on the user’s (pseudonym) chosen by the data subject. In addition, the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) to the data subject is also logged. This storage of the IP address takes place for security reasons, and in case the data subject violates the rights of third parties, or posts illegal content through a given comment. The storage of these personal data is, therefore, in the own interest of the data controller, so that he can exculpate in the event of an infringement. This collected personal data will not be passed to third parties, unless such a transfer is required by law or serves the aim of the defense of the data controller.

Routine erasure and blocking of personal data

The data controller shall process and store the personal data of the data subject only for the period necessary to achieve the purpose of storage, or as far as this is granted by the European legislator or other legislators in laws or regulations to which the controller is subject to.

If the storage purpose is not applicable, or if a storage period prescribed by the European legislator or another competent legislator expires, the personal data are routinely blocked or erased in accordance with legal requirements.

Inventory data

If a contractual relationship between you and us is to be established, structured or changed, we will collect and use your personal data insofar it is necessary to achieve these purposes.
By order of the competent authorities, we may disclose information about such data (inventory data) in individual cases, if it is required for the purposes of criminal prosecution, to avert danger, to fulfill the legal duties of the constitutional protection authorities or the Military Counter-Intelligence Service or to enforce intellectual property rights.

Usage data

We collect and use personal data from you to the extent necessary to enable or account for the use of our website (usage data). This includes in particular features for your identification and information on the beginning and end as well as the extent of use of our offer.

For the purposes of advertising, market research and the demand-oriented design of our web-based offer, we are allowed to create usage profiles when using pseudonyms. You have the right to object to this use of your data at any time. We are not allowed to and will never merge user profiles with data about an individual using a pseudonym.

Passing on personal data to third parties

Your personal data will only be passed on to third parties or transmitted in any other way if this is necessary for processing the contract or for billing purposes or if you have given your prior consent.

Anonymity

The use of the services offered is – as far as technically possible and reasonable – also permitted without providing such data or by entering anonymous data or a pseudonym.

Right of revocation

You have the right to revoke your consent to the collection and use of personal data with effect for the future at any time.

Right to information

You have the right to request information free of charge about the data stored on you personally or your pseudonym. Upon your request, the information can also be provided electronically.Furthermore, the European directives and regulations grant the data subject access to the following information:

  • the purposes of the processing;
  • the categories of personal data concerned;
  • the recipients or categories of recipients to whom the personal data have been or will be disclosed, in particular recipients in third countries or international organisations;
  • where possible, the envisaged period for which the personal data will be stored, or, if not possible, the criteria used to determine that period;
  • the existence of the right to request from the controller rectification or erasure of personal data, or restriction of processing of personal data concerning the data subject, or to object to such processing;
  • the existence of the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority;
  • where the personal data are not collected from the data subject, any available information as to their source;
  • the existence of automated decision-making, including profiling, referred to in Article 22(1) and (4) of the GDPR and, at least in those cases, meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject.

Correction, blocking and deletion of data

You shall have the right granted by the European legislator to request the correction, blocking or deletion of personal data relating to you free of charge. The deletion of the stored personal data takes place if you revoke your consent to the storage, if your knowledge is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of the purpose pursued with the storage or if your storage is or becomes inadmissible for other legal reasons.

Cookies & other techniques

Right of restriction of processing

Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller restriction of processing where one of the following applies:

  • The accuracy of the personal data is contested by the data subject, for a period enabling the controller to verify the accuracy of the personal data.
  • The processing is unlawful and the data subject opposes the erasure of the personal data and requests instead the restriction of their use instead.
  • The controller no longer needs the personal data for the purposes of the processing, but they are required by the data subject for the establishment, exercise or defence of legal claims.
  • The data subject has objected to processing pursuant to Article 21(1) of the GDPR pending the verification whether the legitimate grounds of the controller override those of the data subject.

Usage of the analysis tool “Google Analytics”

This website uses Google Analytics, a web analysis service provided by Google Inc. (“Google”). Google Analytics uses “cookies”, which are text files that are stored on your computer, to help the website analyze how users use the site. The information generated by the cookie about your use of this website is usually transferred to one of Google’s servers in the United States and stored there. However, if you enable IP anonymization on this website, your IP address will be truncated by Google in member states of the European Union or in other states that are a part of the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only under special circumstances, the full IP address is transferred to a Google server in the United States and truncated there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of the website, to compile reports on website activity and to provide the website operator with further services associated with the use of the website and the Internet. The IP address transmitted by your browser within the scope of Google Analytics will not be merged with other Google data. You may prevent the storage of cookies by configuring your browser accordingly; however, we would like to point out that in this case you may not be able to use the full functionality of this website. You can also prevent Google from collecting the data generated by the cookie and relating to your use of the website (including your IP address) and from processing this data by Google by downloading and installing a browser plugin that is available at http://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout?hl=en.

The data is also used to create anonymized statistics on the user behavior of our users.

Google AdWords Conversion-Tracking

This website uses Google AdWords conversion tracking. The conversion tracking cookie is set when a user clicks on an ad placed by Google. These cookies expire after 30 days and are not used for personal identification. Every Google AdWords customer receives a different cookie. This prevents cookies from being tracked through the websites of AdWords customers. The information gathered from the conversion cookie is used to generate conversion statistics for AdWords customers who have opted for conversion tracking. Customers will see the total number of users who clicked on their ad and were directed to a page tagged with a conversion tracking tag. However, they do not receive any information that personally identifies users. Users who do not wish to participate in tracking can deactivate the Google Conversion Tracking cookie in the browser’s user settings. These users are not included in the conversion tracking statistics.

Microsoft Ads Conversion Tracking

We use the online advertising program “Microsoft Advertising” of Microsoft Corporation (Microsoft Corporation, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, USA; “Microsoft”) and in this context the Microsoft Advertising Conversion Tracking. The data processing serves marketing and advertising purposes and the purpose of measuring the success of the advertising measures (conversion tracking). For this purpose, Microsoft sets a cookie on your terminal device if you have reached our website via a Microsoft Bing ad. In this way, Microsoft and we can recognize that someone has clicked on an ad, been redirected to our website and reached a previously determined target page (“conversion site”). We only learn the total number of users who clicked on a Bing ad and were then redirected to the conversion site. Microsoft collects, processes and uses information via the cookie, from which usage profiles are created using pseudonyms. These usage profiles are used to analyze visitor behavior and are used to display advertisements. No personal information about the identity of the user is processed.

For more information on data protection and the cookies used by Microsoft Advertising, please see: Data Security Policy and Privacy Policy

Data protection provisions about the application and use of Facebook

On this website, the controller has integrated components of the enterprise Facebook. Facebook is a social network.

A social network is a place for social meetings on the Internet, an online community, which usually allows users to communicate with each other and interact in a virtual space. A social network may serve as a platform for the exchange of opinions and experiences, or enable the Internet community to provide personal or business-related information. Facebook allows social network users to include the creation of private profiles, upload photos, and network through friend requests.

The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, United States. If a person lives outside of the United States or Canada, the controller is the Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

With each call-up to one of the individual pages of this Internet website, which is operated by the controller and into which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-ins) was integrated, the web browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted to download display of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook through the Facebook component. An overview of all the Facebook Plug-ins may be accessed under https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/. During the course of this technical procedure, Facebook is made aware of what specific sub-site of our website was visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged in at the same time on Facebook, Facebook detects with every call-up to our website by the data subject—and for the entire duration of their stay on our Internet site—which specific sub-site of our Internet page was visited by the data subject. This information is collected through the Facebook component and associated with the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Facebook buttons integrated into our website, e.g. the “Like” button, or if the data subject submits a comment, then Facebook matches this information with the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores the personal data.

Facebook always receives, through the Facebook component, information about a visit to our website by the data subject, whenever the data subject is logged in at the same time on Facebook during the time of the call-up to our website. This occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If such a transmission of information to Facebook is not desirable for the data subject, then he or she may prevent this by logging off from their Facebook account before a call-up to our website is made.

The data protection guideline published by Facebook, which is available at https://facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by Facebook. In addition, it is explained there what setting options Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. In addition, different configuration options are made available to allow the elimination of data transmission to Facebook. These applications may be used by the data subject to eliminate a data transmission to Facebook.

YouTube’s data protection provisions, available at https://www.google.com/intl/en/policies/privacy/, provide information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by YouTube and Google.

Period for which the personal data will be stored

The criteria used to determine the period of storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiration of that period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted, as long as it is no longer necessary for the fulfillment of the contract or the initiation of a contract.

Provision of personal data as statutory or contractual requirement; Requirement necessary to enter into a contract; Obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of failure to provide such data

We clarify that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also result from contractual provisions (e.g. information on the contractual partner).

Sometimes it may be necessary to conclude a contract that the data subject provides us with personal data, which must subsequently be processed by us. The data subject is, for example, obliged to provide us with personal data when our company signs a contract with him or her. The non-provision of the personal data would have the consequence that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded.

Before personal data is provided by the data subject, the data subject must contact any employee. The employee clarifies to the data subject whether the provision of the personal data is required by law or contract or is necessary for the conclusion of the contract, whether there is an obligation to provide the personal data and the consequences of non-provision of the personal data.

By using this website, you agree to the processing of the data collected about you by Google in the manner and for the purpose described above.
