Relevant Legal Bases

Relevant legal bases under the GDPR: Below you will find an overview of the legal bases of the GDPR on which we process personal data. Please note that in addition to the provisions of the GDPR, national data protection regulations may apply in your or our country of residence or establishment. Should more specific legal bases be applicable in individual cases, we will inform you of these in the Privacy Policy.

  • Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR) – The data subject has given consent to the processing of their personal data for one or more specific purposes.
  • Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR) – Processing is necessary for the purposes of the legitimate interests pursued by the controller or by a third party, except where such interests are overridden by the interests or fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject.

National data protection regulations in Germany: In addition to the data protection regulations of the GDPR, national data protection regulations apply in Germany. These include in particular the Act on Protection against Misuse of Personal Data in Data Processing (Federal Data Protection Act – BDSG). The BDSG contains in particular special provisions on the right of access, the right to erasure, the right to object, the processing of special categories of personal data, processing for other purposes and transmission, as well as automated individual decision-making, including profiling. Furthermore, the data protection laws of the individual German federal states may apply.

Note on the applicability of the GDPR and the Swiss FADP: These privacy notices serve both to provide information pursuant to the Swiss Federal Act on Data Protection (FADP) and pursuant to the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). For this reason, please note that the terms of the GDPR are used for reasons of broader spatial applicability and comprehensibility. In particular, instead of the terms used in the Swiss FADP such as "processing" of "personal data", "overriding interest" and "particularly sensitive personal data", the GDPR terms "processing" of "personal data", "legitimate interest" and "special categories of data" are used. However, the legal meaning of the terms continues to be determined in accordance with the Swiss FADP where the Swiss FADP applies.

Security Measures

We implement appropriate technical and organisational measures in accordance with the legal requirements, taking into account the state of the art, the costs of implementation and the nature, scope, context and purposes of processing, as well as the varying likelihood and severity of the risk to the rights and freedoms of natural persons, in order to ensure a level of security appropriate to the risk.

The measures include, in particular, safeguarding the confidentiality, integrity and availability of data by controlling physical and electronic access to the data, as well as access to, input of, disclosure of, assurance of availability of and segregation of the data. We have also established procedures to ensure the exercise of data subjects' rights, deletion of data and responses to data threats. Furthermore, we take the protection of personal data into account during the development or selection of hardware, software and processes, in accordance with the principle of data protection by design and by default.

Securing online connections via TLS/SSL encryption technology (HTTPS): To protect user data transmitted via our online services from unauthorised access, we use TLS/SSL encryption technology. Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) are the cornerstones of secure data transmission on the internet. These technologies encrypt the information transmitted between the website or app and the user's browser (or between two servers), thereby protecting the data from unauthorised access. TLS, as the more advanced and secure version of SSL, ensures that all data transmissions meet the highest security standards. When a website is secured by an SSL/TLS certificate, this is indicated by the display of HTTPS in the URL, serving as an indicator to users that their data is being transmitted securely and in encrypted form.

Transmission of Personal Data

In the course of processing personal data, it may be transmitted to or disclosed to other parties, companies, legally independent organisational units or persons. Recipients of this data may include, for example, service providers commissioned with IT tasks, or providers of services and content embedded in a website. In such cases, we comply with the legal requirements and in particular conclude appropriate contracts or agreements serving to protect your data with the recipients of your data.

International Data Transfers

Data processing in third countries: If we transfer data to a third country (i.e. outside the European Union (EU) or the European Economic Area (EEA)), or if this occurs in the context of using third-party services or the disclosure or transfer of data to other persons, entities or companies, this is always done in accordance with the legal requirements.

For data transfers to the USA, we rely primarily on the Data Privacy Framework (DPF), which was recognised as a safe legal framework by an adequacy decision of the EU Commission on 10 July 2023. In addition, we have concluded standard contractual clauses with the respective providers, which comply with the requirements of the EU Commission and establish contractual obligations to protect your data.

This dual safeguard ensures comprehensive protection of your data: the DPF forms the primary protection layer, while the standard contractual clauses serve as an additional safeguard. Should changes occur within the DPF framework, the standard contractual clauses will serve as a reliable fallback. This ensures that your data remains adequately protected even in the event of political or legal changes.

For individual service providers, we inform you whether they are certified under the DPF and whether standard contractual clauses are in place. Further information on the DPF and a list of certified companies can be found on the website of the US Department of Commerce at https://www.dataprivacyframework.gov/.

For data transfers to other third countries, corresponding safeguards apply, in particular standard contractual clauses, explicit consent or legally required transfers. Information on third-country transfers and applicable adequacy decisions can be obtained from the EU Commission's information service: https://commission.europa.eu/law/law-topic/data-protection/international-dimension-data-protection_en.

General Information on Data Storage and Deletion

We delete personal data that we process in accordance with the statutory provisions as soon as the underlying consents are revoked or no further legal grounds for processing exist. This applies to cases where the original processing purpose ceases to apply or the data is no longer needed. Exceptions to this rule apply where statutory obligations or special interests require a longer retention or archiving of the data.

In particular, data that must be retained for commercial or tax law reasons, or whose storage is necessary for legal prosecution or to protect the rights of other natural or legal persons, must be archived accordingly.

Our privacy notices contain additional information on the retention and deletion of data that applies specifically to certain processing activities.

Where multiple retention periods or deletion deadlines are specified for a piece of data, the longest period always applies. Data that is no longer retained for its originally intended purpose but for legal or other reasons is processed exclusively for the reasons justifying its retention.

Retention and deletion of data: The following general deadlines apply for retention and archiving under German law:

  • 10 years – Retention period for books and records, annual financial statements, inventories, management reports, opening balance sheets, as well as the operating instructions and other organisational documents required for their understanding (§ 147(1)(1) in conjunction with (3) AO, § 14b(1) UStG, § 257(1)(1) in conjunction with (4) HGB).
  • 8 years – Accounting vouchers, such as invoices and expense receipts (§ 147(1)(4) and (4a) in conjunction with (3)(1) AO and § 257(1)(4) in conjunction with (4) HGB).
  • 6 years – Other business documents: received commercial or business letters, copies of sent commercial or business letters, other documents relevant for taxation purposes, e.g. hourly wage slips, job cost sheets, pricing documents, as well as payroll documents (where not already accounting vouchers) and cash register rolls (§ 147(1)(2), (3), (5) in conjunction with (3) AO, § 257(1)(2) and (3) in conjunction with (4) HGB).
  • 3 years – Data required to take into account potential warranty and damages claims or similar contractual claims and rights, as well as to process related enquiries, based on prior business experience and common industry practice, is stored for the duration of the standard statutory limitation period of three years (§§ 195, 199 BGB).

Period commencing at end of year: Where a period does not expressly begin on a specific date and amounts to at least one year, it automatically starts at the end of the calendar year in which the triggering event occurred. In the case of ongoing contractual relationships in the context of which data is stored, the triggering event is the date on which the termination or other ending of the legal relationship takes effect.

Rights of Data Subjects

Rights of data subjects under the GDPR: As a data subject, you have various rights under the GDPR, arising in particular from Articles 15 to 21 GDPR:

  • Right to object: You have the right to object at any time, on grounds relating to your particular situation, to the processing of personal data concerning you which is based on Art. 6(1)(e) or (f) GDPR; this also applies to profiling based on those provisions. Where personal data concerning you is processed for direct marketing purposes, you have the right to object at any time to the processing of personal data concerning you for the purposes of such marketing; this also applies to profiling insofar as it is related to such direct marketing.
  • Right to withdraw consent: You have the right to withdraw consent at any time.
  • Right of access: You have the right to request confirmation as to whether the data in question is being processed and to obtain information about this data as well as further information and a copy of the data in accordance with the statutory provisions.
  • Right to rectification: In accordance with statutory provisions, you have the right to request the completion of data concerning you or the rectification of inaccurate data concerning you.
  • Right to erasure and restriction of processing: In accordance with statutory provisions, you have the right to demand that data concerning you be erased without delay, or alternatively to demand restriction of processing of the data in accordance with statutory provisions.
  • Right to data portability: You have the right to receive data concerning you that you have provided to us, in a structured, commonly used and machine-readable format, or to request its transmission to another controller, in accordance with statutory provisions.
  • Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority: Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State of your habitual residence, place of work or place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of personal data relating to you infringes the provisions of the GDPR.

Provision of the Online Services and Web Hosting

We process users' data in order to provide them with our online services. For this purpose, we process the user's IP address, which is necessary to transmit the content and functions of our online services to the user's browser or device.

  • Types of data processed: Usage data (e.g. page views and time spent, click paths, intensity and frequency of use, device types and operating systems used, interactions with content and functions); meta, communication and procedural data (e.g. IP addresses, timestamps, identification numbers, persons involved); log data (e.g. log files relating to logins or the retrieval of data or access times); content data (e.g. textual or visual messages and posts and the information relating to them, such as details of authorship or time of creation).
  • Data subjects: Users (e.g. website visitors, users of online services).
  • Purposes of processing and legitimate interests: Provision of our online services and user-friendliness; information technology infrastructure (operation and provision of information systems and technical equipment (computers, servers, etc.)); security measures; provision of contractual services and fulfilment of contractual obligations.
  • Retention and deletion: Deletion in accordance with the information in the section "General Information on Data Storage and Deletion".
  • Legal bases: Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Further information on processing activities, procedures and services:

  • Provision of online services on rented storage space: For the provision of our online services, we use storage space, computing capacity and software that we rent or otherwise obtain from a server provider (also referred to as a "web host"); Legal bases: Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
  • Collection of access data and log files: Access to our online services is logged in the form of so-called "server log files". Server log files may include the address and name of the web pages and files accessed, the date and time of access, the volume of data transferred, notification of successful retrieval, browser type and version, the user's operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page), and as a rule IP addresses and the requesting provider. Server log files may be used for security purposes, e.g. to avoid server overload (especially in the event of abusive attacks, so-called DDoS attacks), and to ensure server load and stability; Legal bases: Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Deletion of data: Log file information is stored for a maximum of 30 days and then deleted or anonymised. Data whose further retention is necessary for evidential purposes is exempt from deletion until the final clarification of the respective incident.
  • Email sending and hosting: The web hosting services we use also include the sending, receiving and storage of emails. For these purposes, the addresses of recipients and senders, as well as further information relating to the sending of emails (e.g. the providers involved) and the contents of the respective emails, are processed. The aforementioned data may also be processed for the purposes of detecting SPAM. Please note that emails on the internet are generally not sent in encrypted form. As a rule, emails are encrypted in transit, but (unless a so-called end-to-end encryption method is used) they are not encrypted on the servers from which they are sent and received. We cannot therefore accept any responsibility for the transmission path of emails between the sender and receipt on our server; Legal bases: Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).
  • 1&1 IONOS: Services in the field of providing information technology infrastructure and related services (e.g. storage space and/or computing capacity); Service provider: 1&1 IONOS SE, Elgendorfer Str. 57, 56410 Montabaur, Germany; Legal bases: Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR); Website: https://www.ionos.de; Privacy policy: https://www.ionos.de/terms-gtc/terms-privacy; Data processing agreement: Available via IONOS help centre.
  • WordPress.com: Hosting and software for the creation, provision and operation of websites, blogs and other online services; Service provider: Aut O'Mattic A8C Ireland Ltd., Grand Canal Dock, 25 Herbert Pl, Dublin, D02 AY86, Ireland; Legal bases: Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR); Website: https://wordpress.com; Privacy policy: https://automattic.com/privacy/; Data processing agreement: https://wordpress.com/support/data-processing-agreements/; Basis for third-country transfers: Data Privacy Framework (DPF), standard contractual clauses (provided by the service provider).

Use of Cookies

The term "cookies" refers to functions that store and retrieve information on users' devices. Cookies can also be used for various purposes, such as ensuring the functionality, security and convenience of online services, as well as for the analysis of visitor flows. We use cookies in accordance with statutory provisions. Where required, we obtain users' prior consent. Where consent is not necessary, we rely on our legitimate interests. This applies where storing and retrieving information is essential to provide content and functions that have been expressly requested. This includes, for example, storing settings and ensuring the functionality and security of our online services. Consent can be withdrawn at any time. We provide clear information about the scope of cookies used.

Notes on legal bases under data protection law: Whether we process personal data using cookies depends on consent. Where consent exists, it serves as the legal basis. Without consent, we rely on our legitimate interests as described above and in the context of the respective services and procedures.

Storage duration: The following types of cookies are distinguished with regard to storage duration:

  • Temporary cookies (also: session cookies): Temporary cookies are deleted at the latest after a user has left an online service and closed their device (e.g. browser or mobile application).
  • Permanent cookies: Permanent cookies remain stored even after the device is closed. For example, the login status can be saved and preferred content displayed directly when the user visits a website again. Likewise, user data collected by means of cookies can be used for reach measurement. Unless we provide users with explicit information about the type and storage duration of cookies (e.g. when obtaining consent), users should assume that these are permanent and that the storage duration may be up to two years.

General information on withdrawal and objection (opt-out): Users may withdraw the consents they have given at any time and also object to processing in accordance with statutory provisions, including via the privacy settings of their browser.

  • Types of data processed: Meta, communication and procedural data (e.g. IP addresses, timestamps, identification numbers, persons involved).
  • Data subjects: Users (e.g. website visitors, users of online services).
  • Legal bases: Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR). Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).

Further information on processing activities, procedures and services:

  • Processing of cookie data on the basis of consent: We use a consent management solution through which users' consent to the use of cookies or to the procedures and providers mentioned in the consent management solution is obtained. This procedure serves to obtain, log, manage and revoke consents, in particular with regard to the use of cookies and comparable technologies used for storing, reading and processing information on users' devices. As part of this procedure, users' consents for the use of cookies and the associated processing of information, including the specific processing activities and providers mentioned in the consent management procedure, are obtained. Users also have the option to manage and revoke their consents. Consent declarations are stored to avoid repeated requests and to be able to demonstrate consent in accordance with the legal requirements. Storage takes place server-side and/or in a cookie (so-called opt-in cookie) or by means of comparable technologies, in order to be able to assign consent to a specific user or their device. Unless specific information about providers of consent management services is available, the following general information applies: the consent is stored for up to two years. A pseudonymous user identifier is created and stored together with the time of consent, the scope of consent (e.g. categories of cookies and/or service providers concerned) and information about the browser, system and device used; Legal bases: Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR).
  • Complianz: Storage and management of consents (agreement to cookies and data processing), logging of user decisions, display of data protection and cookie notices, enabling users to withdraw or adjust their consents; Service provider: Operated on servers and/or computers under its own data protection responsibility; Website: https://complianz.io/; Privacy policy: https://complianz.io/legal/. Further information: An individual user ID, language and types of consents as well as the time of their submission are stored server-side and in a cookie on the user's device.

Customer Reviews and Rating Procedures

We participate in review and rating procedures in order to evaluate, optimise and promote our services. Where users rate us via the rating platforms or procedures involved or otherwise provide feedback, the general terms and conditions or terms of use and the privacy notices of the respective providers also apply. Ratings generally also require registration with the respective providers.

To ensure that the persons providing ratings have actually used our services, we transmit, with the customers' consent, the data required for this purpose regarding the customer and the service used to the respective rating platform (including name, email address and order or article number). This data is used solely to verify the authenticity of the user.

  • Types of data processed: Contract data (e.g. subject matter of contract, duration, customer category); usage data (e.g. page views and time spent, click paths, intensity and frequency of use, device types and operating systems used, interactions with content and functions); meta, communication and procedural data (e.g. IP addresses, timestamps, identification numbers, persons involved).
  • Data subjects: Service recipients and clients; users (e.g. website visitors, users of online services).
  • Purposes of processing and legitimate interests: Feedback (e.g. collecting feedback via online form); marketing.
  • Legal bases: Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Further information on processing activities, procedures and services:

  • Rating widget: We embed so-called "rating widgets" in our online services. A widget is a functional and content element embedded in our online services that displays changeable information. It may be displayed, for example, in the form of a seal or similar element, sometimes also called a "badge". Although the corresponding content of the widget is displayed within our online services, it is retrieved at that moment from the servers of the respective widget provider. Only in this way can the current content always be shown, in particular the current rating. A data connection must therefore be established from the web page accessed within our online services to the server of the widget provider, and the widget provider receives certain technical data (access data, including IP address) that is necessary for the content of the widget to be delivered to the user's browser. Furthermore, the widget provider receives information that users have visited our online services. This information may be stored in a cookie and used by the widget provider to identify which online services participating in the rating procedure have been visited by the user. The information may be stored in a user profile and used for advertising or market research purposes; Legal bases: Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Presences on Social Networks (Social Media)

We maintain online presences within social networks and process user data in this context in order to communicate with users active there or to offer information about us.

We draw attention to the fact that user data may be processed outside the European Union in this context. This may result in risks for users, for example because the enforcement of users' rights could be made more difficult.

Furthermore, user data within social networks is generally processed for market research and advertising purposes. For example, usage profiles can be created based on users' usage behaviour and the resulting interests. These profiles may in turn be used to display advertisements within and outside the networks that are presumed to correspond to users' interests. For this purpose, cookies are generally stored on users' computers, in which usage behaviour and users' interests are stored. Furthermore, data can also be stored in the usage profiles independently of the devices used by users (particularly if users are members of the respective platforms and are logged in).

For a detailed presentation of the respective forms of processing and the options for objection (opt-out), we refer to the privacy policies and information provided by the operators of the respective networks.

In the case of requests for information and the assertion of data subjects' rights, we also point out that these can most effectively be asserted with the providers. Only the latter have access to users' data at all times and can take appropriate measures and provide information directly. Should you nevertheless require assistance, you are welcome to contact us.

  • Types of data processed: Contact data (e.g. postal and email addresses or telephone numbers); content data (e.g. textual or visual messages and posts and the information relating to them, such as details of authorship or time of creation); usage data (e.g. page views and time spent, click paths, intensity and frequency of use, device types and operating systems used, interactions with content and functions).
  • Data subjects: Users (e.g. website visitors, users of online services).
  • Purposes of processing and legitimate interests: Communication; feedback (e.g. collecting feedback via online form); public relations.
  • Retention and deletion: Deletion in accordance with the information in the section "General Information on Data Storage and Deletion".
  • Legal bases: Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

  • LinkedIn: Social network – We are jointly responsible with LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company for the collection (but not the further processing) of visitor data used to create "Page Insights" (statistics) for our LinkedIn profiles. This data includes information about the types of content users view or interact with and the actions they take, as well as details about the devices used, such as IP addresses, operating system, browser type, language settings and cookie data, and information from user profiles such as job function, country, industry, seniority level, company size and employment status. Privacy information on the processing of user data by LinkedIn can be found in LinkedIn's privacy policy: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy. We have entered into a specific agreement with LinkedIn Ireland ("Page Insights Joint Controller Addendum", https://legal.linkedin.com/pages-joint-controller-addendum), which sets out in particular the security measures LinkedIn must observe and in which LinkedIn has agreed to fulfil data subjects' rights (i.e. users can direct requests for access or erasure directly to LinkedIn). Users' rights (in particular the right of access, erasure, objection and to lodge a complaint with the competent supervisory authority) are not restricted by the agreements with LinkedIn. The joint responsibility is limited to the collection and transmission of data to LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, an entity based in the EU. The further processing of the data is the sole responsibility of LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, in particular with regard to the transmission of data to its parent company LinkedIn Corporation in the USA; Service provider: LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Plaza, Dublin 2, Ireland; Legal bases: Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR); Website: https://www.linkedin.com; Privacy policy: https://www.linkedin.com/legal/privacy-policy; Basis for third-country transfers: Data Privacy Framework (DPF), standard contractual clauses.

Plug-ins and Embedded Functions and Content

We embed functional and content elements in our online services that are obtained from the servers of their respective providers (hereinafter referred to as "third-party providers"). These may include, for example, graphics, videos or maps (hereinafter uniformly referred to as "content").

The embedding always requires that the third-party providers of this content process the IP address of users, since without the IP address they would not be able to send the content to their browser. The IP address is therefore required for the display of this content or these functions. We endeavour to use only such content whose respective providers use the IP address solely for the delivery of the content. Third-party providers may also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also referred to as "web beacons") for statistical or marketing purposes. The "pixel tags" can be used to evaluate information such as visitor traffic on the pages of this website. The pseudonymous information may also be stored in cookies on users' devices and may contain, among other things, technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, time of visit and other details about the use of our online services, but may also be linked to such information from other sources.

Notes on legal bases: Where we ask users for their consent to the use of third-party providers, the legal basis for data processing is that consent. Otherwise, users' data is processed on the basis of our legitimate interests (i.e. interest in efficient, economical and recipient-friendly services). In this context, we would also like to draw your attention to the information on the use of cookies in this Privacy Policy.

  • Types of data processed: Usage data (e.g. page views and time spent, click paths, intensity and frequency of use, device types and operating systems used, interactions with content and functions); meta, communication and procedural data (e.g. IP addresses, timestamps, identification numbers, persons involved).
  • Data subjects: Users (e.g. website visitors, users of online services).
  • Purposes of processing and legitimate interests: Provision of our online services and user-friendliness.
  • Retention and deletion: Deletion in accordance with the information in the section "General Information on Data Storage and Deletion". Storage of cookies for up to 2 years (unless otherwise stated, cookies and similar storage methods may be stored on users' devices for a period of up to two years).
  • Legal bases: Consent (Art. 6(1)(a) GDPR). Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Further information on processing activities, procedures and services:

  • Google Fonts (hosted on own server): Provision of font files for a user-friendly display of our online services; Service provider: The Google Fonts are hosted on our server; no data is transmitted to Google; Legal bases: Legitimate interests (Art. 6(1)(f) GDPR).

Changes and Updates

We ask you to regularly inform yourself about the content of our Privacy Policy. We adapt the Privacy Policy as soon as changes in the data processing activities we carry out make this necessary. We will inform you as soon as the changes require an action on your part (e.g. consent) or other individual notification.

Where we provide addresses and contact information of companies and organisations in this Privacy Policy, please note that addresses may change over time and we ask you to verify the information before making contact.

Definitions

In this section, you will find an overview of the terms used in this Privacy Policy. Where terms are defined by law, their legal definitions apply. The following explanations are primarily intended to aid understanding.

  • Content data: Content data encompasses information generated in the course of creating, editing and publishing content of all kinds. This category of data may include texts, images, videos, audio files and other multimedia content published on various platforms and media. Content data is not limited to the actual content itself but also includes metadata that provides information about the content, such as tags, descriptions, author information and publication dates.
  • Contact data: Contact data is essential information that enables communication with individuals or organisations. It includes, among other things, telephone numbers, postal addresses and email addresses, as well as communication means such as social media handles and instant messaging identifiers.
  • Meta, communication and procedural data: Meta, communication and procedural data are categories that contain information about how data is processed, transmitted and managed. Metadata, also known as data about data, includes information describing the context, origin and structure of other data. It may include details of file size, creation date, the author of a document and change histories. Communication data records the exchange of information between users across various channels, such as email traffic, call logs, messages on social networks and chat histories, including the persons involved, timestamps and transmission paths. Procedural data describes processes and workflows within systems or organisations, including workflow documentation, logs of transactions and activities, and audit logs used to track and review processes.
  • Usage data: Usage data refers to information that records how users interact with digital products, services or platforms. This data covers a wide range of information showing how users use applications, which functions they prefer, how long they spend on certain pages and the paths they take through an application. Usage data may also include the frequency of use, timestamps of activities, IP addresses, device information and location data. It is particularly valuable for analysing user behaviour, optimising user experiences, personalising content and improving products or services. In addition, usage data plays a key role in identifying trends, preferences and potential problem areas within digital offerings.
  • Personal data: "Personal data" means any information relating to an identified or identifiable natural person (hereinafter "data subject"); an identifiable natural person is one who can be identified, directly or indirectly, in particular by reference to an identifier such as a name, an identification number, location data, an online identifier (e.g. cookie) or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.
  • Log data: Log data is information about events or activities that have been recorded in a system or network. This data typically includes information such as timestamps, IP addresses, user actions, error messages and other details about the use or operation of a system. Log data is often used to analyse system problems, for security monitoring or to create performance reports.
  • Controller: "Controller" means the natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which, alone or jointly with others, determines the purposes and means of the processing of personal data.
  • Processing: "Processing" means any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means. The term covers a wide range and encompasses practically any handling of data, whether collecting, evaluating, storing, transmitting or deleting.
  • Contract data: Contract data is specific information relating to the formalisation of an agreement between two or more parties. It documents the conditions under which services or products are provided, exchanged or sold.
