Data protection

Introduction and overview

We have written this data protection declaration (version 07.07.2021-311289364) in order to explain to you, in accordance with the provisions of the General Data Protection Regulation (EU) 2016/679 and applicable national laws, which personal data (data for short) we as the person responsible - and that of Processors commissioned by us (e.g. provider) - process, will process in the future and what legal options you have. The terms used are to be understood as gender-neutral.
In short: We provide you with comprehensive information about the data that we process about you.

Data protection declarations usually sound very technical and use legal technical terms. However, this data protection declaration is intended to describe the most important things to you as simply and transparently as possible. As far as transparency is beneficial, technical terms are explained in a reader-friendly manner , links to further information are provided and graphics are providedbrought into use. We are thus informing in clear and simple language that we only process personal data in the context of our business activities if there is a corresponding legal basis. This is certainly not possible if you make as brief, unclear and legal-technical statements as possible, as they are often standard on the Internet when it comes to data protection. I hope you find the following explanations interesting and informative and maybe there is one or the other piece of information that you were not familiar with.
If you still have questions, we would like to ask you to contact the responsible body named below or in the legal notice, to follow the existing links and to look at further information on third-party websites. You can of course also find our contact details in the imprint.

scope of application

This data protection declaration applies to all personal data processed by us in the company and to all personal data processed by companies commissioned by us (contract processors). By personal data we mean information within the meaning of Art. 4 No. 1 GDPR, such as the name, email address and postal address of a person. The processing of personal data ensures that we can offer and invoice our services and products, be it online or offline. The scope of this data protection declaration includes:

• all online presences (websites, online shops) that we operate
• Social media appearances and email communication
• mobile apps for smartphones and other devices

In short: The data protection declaration applies to all areas in which personal data is processed in a structured manner in the company via the channels mentioned. If we enter into legal relationships with you outside of these channels, we will inform you separately if necessary.

Legal bases

In the following data protection declaration, we provide you with transparent information on the legal principles and regulations, i.e. the legal bases of the General Data Protection Regulation, which enable us to process personal data.
As far as EU law is concerned, we refer to REGULATION (EU) 2016/679 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of April 27, 2016. You can of course access this EU General Data Protection Regulation online at EUR-Lex, the gateway to the EU -Recht, read at https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/DE/TXT/?uri=celex%3A32016R0679 .

We only process your data if at least one of the following conditions applies:

1. Consent (Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR): You have given us your consent to process data for a specific purpose. An example would be the storage of the data you entered in a contact form.
2. Contract (Article 6 Paragraph 1 lit.b GDPR): We process your data in order to fulfill a contract or pre-contractual obligations with you. For example, if we conclude a sales contract with you, we need personal information in advance.
3. Legal obligation (Article 6 Paragraph 1 lit. c GDPR): If we are subject to a legal obligation, we will process your data. For example, we are legally required to keep invoices for bookkeeping. These usually contain personal data.
4. Legitimate interests (Article 6 Paragraph 1 lit.f GDPR): In the case of legitimate interests that do not restrict your basic rights, we reserve the right to process personal data. For example, we have to process certain data in order to be able to operate our website securely and economically efficiently. This processing is therefore a legitimate interest.

Other conditions such as the taking of recordings in the public interest and the exercise of official authority as well as the protection of vital interests do not usually apply to us. If such a legal basis should be relevant, it will be shown at the appropriate point.

In addition to the EU regulation, national laws also apply:

• In Austria this is the federal law for the protection of natural persons when processing personal data ( data protection law ), DSG for short .
• In Germany , the Federal Data Protection Act , or BDSG for short, applies .

If other regional or national laws apply, we will inform you about them in the following sections.

Rights according to the General Data Protection Regulation

According to Article 13 GDPR, you have the following rights to ensure that data is processed fairly and transparently:

• According to Article 15 GDPR, you have the right to information as to whether we are processing your data. If so, you have the right to receive a copy of the data and the following information:
  • for what purpose we carry out the processing;
  • the categories, i.e. the types of data that are processed;
  • who receives this data and, if the data is transferred to third countries, how security can be guaranteed;
  • how long the data will be stored;
  • the existence of the right to correction, deletion or restriction of processing and the right to object to processing;
  • that you can complain to a supervisory authority (links to these authorities can be found below);
  • the origin of the data, if we have not collected it from you;
  • whether profiling is carried out, i.e. whether data is automatically evaluated in order to arrive at a personal profile of you.
• According to Article 16 GDPR, you have the right to correct your data, which means that we have to correct the data if you find errors.
• According to Article 17 GDPR, you have the right to erasure ("right to be forgotten"), which specifically means that you can request the erasure of your data.
• According to Article 18 GDPR, you have the right to restriction of processing, which means that we are only allowed to save the data but not use it any further.
• According to Article 19 GDPR, you have the right to data portability, which means that we will provide you with your data in a common format on request.
• According to Article 21 GDPR, you have a right of objection, which will result in a change in processing after enforcement.
  • If the processing of your data is based on Article 6 (1) (e) (public interest, exercise of official authority) or Article 6 (1) (f) (legitimate interest), you can object to the processing. We will then check as soon as possible whether we can legally comply with this contradiction.
  • If data is used to operate direct mail, you can object to this type of data processing at any time. We are then no longer allowed to use your data for direct marketing.
  • If data is used to carry out profiling, you can object to this type of data processing at any time. We are then no longer allowed to use your data for profiling.
• According to Article 22 GDPR, you may have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing (e.g. profiling).

If you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection law or your data protection claims have been violated in any other way, you can complain to the supervisory authority. For Austria this is the data protection authority, whose website you can find at https://www.dsb.gv.at/ and for Germany you can contact the Federal Commissioner for Data Protection and Freedom of Information (BfDI) .

In short: you have rights - do not hesitate to contact the person in charge listed above!

Storage period

The fact that we only store personal data for as long as is absolutely necessary for the provision of our services and products is a general criterion for us. This means that we delete personal data as soon as the reason for the data processing no longer exists. In some cases we are legally obliged to store certain data even after the original purpose no longer exists, for example for accounting purposes.

If you want your data to be deleted or if you revoke your consent to data processing, the data will be deleted as soon as possible and unless there is an obligation to store it.

We will inform you below about the specific duration of the respective data processing, provided we have further information.

Data processing security

We have implemented both technical and organizational measures to protect personal data. Wherever possible, we encrypt or pseudonymize personal data. As a result, we make it as difficult as possible, as far as possible, for third parties to infer personal information from our data.

Art. 25 GDPR speaks of "data protection through technology design and data protection-friendly default settings" and means that both software (e.g. forms) and hardware (e.g. access to the server room) always think about security and appropriate Measures. If necessary, we will go into specific measures below.

TLS encryption with https

TLS, encryption and https sound and are very technical. We use HTTPS (the Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure stands for "secure hypertext transfer protocol") to transfer data securely on the Internet.
This means that the complete transmission of all data from your browser to our web server is secured - no one can “overhear”.

We have thus introduced an additional security layer and comply with data protection through technology design ( Article 25 (1) GDPR ). By using TLS (Transport Layer Security), an encryption protocol for secure data transmission on the Internet, we can ensure the protection of confidential data.
You can recognize the use of this protection of data transmission by the small lock symbol in the top left of the browser, to the left of the Internet address (e.g. exampleseite.de) and the use of the https scheme (instead of http) as part of our Internet address.
If you want to know more about encryption, we recommend doing a Google search for “Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure wiki” for good links to further information.

Affected people

The above-mentioned processes affect everyone who contacts us via the communication channels we have provided.

phone

When you call us, the call data is stored in pseudonymized form on the respective device and by the telecommunications provider used. In addition, data such as name and telephone number can then be sent by e-mail and saved for answering inquiries. The data will be deleted as soon as the business case has ended and legal requirements allow.

Online forms

If you communicate with us using an online form, data will be stored on our web server and, if necessary, forwarded to an email address from us. The data will be deleted as soon as the business case has ended and legal requirements allow.

Legal bases

The processing of the data is based on the following legal bases:

For this purpose, certain technical facilities such. B. e-mail programs, Exchange servers and mobile network operators are necessary to be able to operate communication efficiently.

Web hosting

Web hosting summary 👥 Affected: visitors to the website 🤝 Purpose: professional hosting of the website and security of operation 📓 Processed data: IP address, time of website visit, browser used and other data. You can find more details below or from the web hosting provider used. 📅 Storage period: depending on the respective provider, but usually 2 weeks ⚖️ Legal basis: Art. 6 Para. 1 lit.f GDPR (legitimate interests)

What is web hosting?

When you visit websites these days, certain information - including personal data - is automatically created and stored, including on this website. This data should be processed as sparingly as possible and only with justification. By the way, by website we mean the entirety of all websites on a domain, ie everything from the start page (homepage) to the very last subpage (like this one). By domain we mean example.de or musterbeispiel.com.

When you want to view a website on one screen, you use a program called a web browser. You probably know some web browsers by name: Google Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Mozilla Firefox, and Apple Safari.

This web browser has to connect to another computer where the website's code is stored: the web server. The operation of a web server is a complicated and time-consuming task, which is why this is usually done by professional providers, the providers. These offer web hosting and thus ensure reliable and error-free storage of website data.

When the browser on your computer (desktop, laptop, smartphone) connects and while data is being transferred to and from the web server, personal data may be processed. On the one hand, your computer stores data, on the other hand, the web server must also store data for a period of time in order to ensure proper operation.

As an illustration:

Why do we process personal data?

The purposes of data processing are:

1. Professional hosting of the website and security of operation
2. to maintain operational and IT security
3. Anonymous evaluation of the access behavior to improve our offer and, if necessary, to prosecute or prosecute claims

Which data are processed?

Even while you are visiting our website, our web server, that is the computer on which this website is saved, usually automatically saves data such as

• the complete Internet address (URL) of the website called up (e.g. https://www.beispielwebsite.de/beispielunterseite.html?tid=311289364)
• Browser and browser version (e.g. Chrome 87)
• the operating system used (e.g. Windows 10)
• the address (URL) of the previously visited page (referrer URL) (e.g. https://www.beispielquellsite.de/vondabinichgekommen.html/)
• the host name and the IP address of the device from which access is made (e.g. COMPUTERNAME and 194.23.43.121)
• Date and Time
• in files, the so-called web server log files

How long will data be stored?

As a rule, the above data is stored for two weeks and then automatically deleted. We do not pass on this data, but we cannot rule out that this data will be viewed by the authorities in the event of illegal behavior.

In short: your visit will be logged by our provider (company that runs our website on special computers (servers)), but we will not pass on your data without your consent!

Legal basis

The legality of the processing of personal data in the context of web hosting results from Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. and to be able to trace attacks and claims from them if necessary.

Cookies

Cookies summary 👥 Affected: visitors to the website 🤝 Purpose: depending on the respective cookie. You can find more details on this below or from the manufacturer of the software that sets the cookie. 📓 Processed data: Depending on the cookie used. You can find more details on this below or from the manufacturer of the software that sets the cookie. 📅 Storage duration: depending on the respective cookie, can vary from hours to years ⚖️ Legal bases: Art. 6 para. 1 lit. a GDPR (consent), Art. 6 para. 1 lit.f GDPR (legitimate interests)

What are cookies?

Our website uses HTTP cookies to save user-specific data.
In the following we explain what cookies are and why they are used so that you can better understand the following data protection declaration.

Whenever you surf the Internet, you are using a browser. Well-known browsers are, for example, Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge. Most websites save small text files in your browser. These files are called cookies.

One thing cannot be dismissed out of hand: Cookies are really useful little helpers. Almost all websites use cookies. More precisely, they are HTTP cookies, as there are also other cookies for other areas of application. HTTP cookies are small files that our website stores on your computer. These cookie files are automatically placed in the cookie folder, which is the “brain” of your browser. A cookie consists of a name and a value. When defining a cookie, one or more attributes must also be specified.

Cookies store certain user data about you, such as language or personal page settings. When you call up our site again, your browser transmits the "user-related" information back to our site. Thanks to cookies, our website knows who you are and offers you the settings that you are used to. In some browsers, each cookie has its own file, in others, such as Firefox, all cookies are stored in a single file.

The following graphic shows a possible interaction between a web browser such as B. Chrome and the web server. The web browser requests a website and receives a cookie back from the server, which the browser uses again as soon as another page is requested.

There are both first-party cookies and third-party cookies. First-party cookies are created directly from our side, third-party cookies are created by partner websites (e.g. Google Analytics). Each cookie must be evaluated individually, as each cookie stores different data. The expiry time of a cookie also varies from a few minutes to a few years. Cookies are not software programs and do not contain viruses, Trojans or other "pests". Cookies cannot access information on your PC either.

For example, cookie data can look like this:

Name: _ga
Value:  GA1.2.1326744211.152311289364-9 Purpose
: Differentiation of website visitors Expiry
date:  after 2 years

A browser should be able to support these minimum sizes:

• At least 4096 bytes per cookie
• At least 50 cookies per domain
• At least 3000 cookies in total

What types of cookies are there?

The question of which cookies we use in particular depends on the services used and is clarified in the following sections of the data protection declaration. At this point we would like to briefly discuss the different types of HTTP cookies.

There are 4 types of cookies:

Essential cookies
These cookies are necessary to ensure the basic functionality of the website. For example, these cookies are needed when a user puts a product in the shopping cart, then continues surfing on other pages and only goes to checkout later. These cookies do not delete the shopping cart, even if the user closes his browser window.

Appropriate cookies
These cookies collect information about user behavior and whether the user receives any error messages. These cookies are also used to measure the loading time and the behavior of the website with different browsers.

Goal-oriented cookies
These cookies improve user-friendliness. For example, entered locations, font sizes or form data are saved.

Advertising cookies
These cookies are also called targeting cookies. They serve to deliver customized advertising to the user. That can be very practical, but also very annoying.

Usually, when you visit a website for the first time, you will be asked which of these types of cookies you would like to allow. And of course this decision is also saved in a cookie.

If you want to know more about cookies and are not afraid of technical documentation, we recommend https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc6265 , the Request for Comments of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) called “HTTP State Management Mechanism”.

Purpose of processing via cookies

The purpose ultimately depends on the respective cookie. More details can be found below or from the manufacturer of the software that sets the cookie.

Which data are processed?

Cookies are little helpers for a wide variety of tasks. Unfortunately, it is not possible to generalize which data is stored in cookies, but we will inform you about the processed or stored data in the context of the following data protection declaration.

Storage duration of cookies

The storage duration depends on the respective cookie and is further specified under. Some cookies are deleted after less than an hour, others can remain on a computer for several years.

You also have an influence on the storage duration yourself. You can manually delete all cookies at any time using your browser (see also “Right to object” below). Furthermore, cookies based on consent will be deleted at the latest after you withdraw your consent, whereby the legality of storage remains unaffected until then.

Right of objection - how can I delete cookies?

You decide for yourself how and whether you want to use cookies. Regardless of which service or website the cookies originate from, you always have the option of deleting, deactivating or only partially accepting cookies. For example, you can block third-party cookies but allow all other cookies.

If you want to find out which cookies have been stored in your browser, if you want to change or delete cookie settings, you can find this in your browser settings:

Chrome: Delete, activate and manage cookies in Chrome

Safari: manage cookies and website data with Safari

Firefox: Delete cookies to remove data that websites have stored on your computer

Internet Explorer: deleting and managing cookies

Microsoft Edge: Deleting and managing cookies

If you generally do not want cookies, you can set up your browser so that it always informs you when a cookie is to be set. For each individual cookie, you can decide whether or not to allow the cookie. The procedure differs depending on the browser. It is best to search for the instructions in Google with the search term “delete cookies Chrome” or “deactivate cookies Chrome” in the case of a Chrome browser.

Legal basis

The so-called “cookie guidelines” have existed since 2009. It states that the storage of cookies requires your consent (Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR). Within the EU countries, however, there are still very different reactions to these guidelines. In Austria, however, this directive was implemented in Section 96 (3) of the Telecommunications Act (TKG). In Germany, the cookie guidelines have not been implemented as national law. Instead, this guideline was largely implemented in Section 15 (3) of the Telemedia Act (TMG).

For absolutely necessary cookies, even if you have not given your consent. there are legitimate interests (Article 6 (1) (f) GDPR), which in most cases are of an economic nature. We want to provide visitors to the website with a pleasant user experience and for this certain cookies are often absolutely necessary.

Unless absolutely necessary cookies are used, this will only be done with your consent. The legal basis for this is Article 6 (1) (a) GDPR.

In the following sections you will be informed in more detail about the use of cookies, provided that the software used uses cookies.

Payment provider

Payment provider data protection declaration Summary 👥 Affected: Visitors to the website 🤝 Purpose: Enabling and optimizing the payment process on our website 📓 Processed data: Data such as name, address, bank details (account number, credit card number, passwords, TANs, etc.), IP address and contract data More You can find details on this with the payment provider tool used. 📅 Storage period: depending on the payment provider used ⚖️ Legal basis: Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR (fulfillment of a contract)

What is a payment provider?

We use online payment systems on our website that enable us and you to have a secure and smooth payment process. Among other things, personal data can also be sent to the respective payment provider, stored and processed there. Payment providers are online payment systems that enable you to place an order via online banking. The payment processing is carried out by the payment provider you have chosen. We will then receive information about the payment made. This method can be used by any user who has an active online banking account with a PIN and TAN. There are hardly any banks that do not offer or accept such payment methods.

Why do we use payment providers on our website?

Of course, we want to offer the best possible service with our website and our integrated online shop, so that you feel comfortable on our site and take advantage of our offers. We know that your time is valuable and that payment processing in particular has to work quickly and smoothly. For these reasons, we offer you various payment providers. You can choose your preferred payment provider and pay in the usual way.

Which data are processed?

The exact data that is processed naturally depends on the respective payment provider. Basically, however, data such as name, address, bank details (account number, credit card number, passwords, TANs, etc.) are saved. This is the necessary data to be able to carry out a transaction at all. In addition, any contract data and user data, such as when you visit our website, what content you are interested in or which sub-pages you click on, can also be saved. Most payment providers also store your IP address and information about the computer you are using.

The data is usually stored and processed on the payment providers' servers. We as the website operator do not receive this data. We are only informed whether the payment worked or not. For identity and credit checks, it can happen that payment providers forward data to the appropriate body. The business and data protection principles of the respective provider always apply to all payment transactions. Therefore, please always take a look at the general terms and conditions and the data protection declaration of the payment provider. You also have the right to have data deleted or corrected at any time, for example. Please contact the respective service provider regarding your rights (right of withdrawal, right to information and right to be affected).

Duration of the data processing

We will inform you below about the duration of the data processing if we have further information. In general, we only process personal data for as long as is absolutely necessary for the provision of our services and products. If it is required by law, for example in the case of accounting, this storage period can also be exceeded. We keep accounting documents belonging to a contract (invoices, contract documents, account statements, etc.) for 10 years (Section 147 AO) and other relevant business documents for 6 years (Section 247 HGB) after they have been incurred.

Right to object

You always have the right to information, correction and deletion of your personal data. If you have any questions, you can always contact the person responsible for the payment provider used. You can find contact details either in our specific data protection declaration or on the website of the relevant payment provider.

You can delete, deactivate or manage cookies that payment providers use for their functions in your browser. This works in different ways depending on which browser you are using. Please note, however, that the payment process may then no longer work.

Legal basis

We also offer other payment service providers in addition to conventional banking / credit institutions to process contractual or legal relationships (Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR)   . The data protection declarations of the individual payment providers (such as Amazon Payments , Apple Pay or Discover ) give you a precise overview of data processing and data storage. In addition, you can always contact those responsible if you have any questions about data protection-related topics.

Information on the special payment providers can be found - if available - in the following sections.

PayPal privacy policy

We use the online payment service PayPal on our website. The service provider is the American company PayPal Inc. The company PayPal Europe (S.à rl et Cie, SCA, 22-24 Boulevard Royal, L-2449 Luxembourg) is responsible for the European region.

We would like to point out that, in the opinion of the European Court of Justice, there is currently no adequate level of protection for data transfer to the USA. The data processing is mainly done by PayPal. This can lead to data not being processed and stored anonymously. Furthermore, US government authorities may have access to individual data. It can also happen that this data is linked to data from other possible PayPal services with which you have a user account.

You can find out more about the data processed through the use of PayPal in the Privacy Policy at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full .

Zoom privacy policy

Zoom Privacy Policy Summary 👥 Affected: Users who use Zoom 🤝 Purpose: an additional service for our website visitors 📓 Processed data: Access statistics, the data such as name, address, contact data, e-mail address, telephone number or your IP address contain. You can find more details on this below in this data protection declaration 📅 Storage duration: Data is stored as long as Zoom needs it for the service purpose ⚖️ Legal bases: Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. a GDPR (consent), Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. f GDPR (legitimate interests), Art. 6 Para. 1 lit.b GDPR (contract)

What is zoom

We use the video conferencing tool Zoom from the American software company Zoom Video Communications for our website. The company's headquarters are in San Jose, California, at 55 Almaden Boulevard, 6th Floor, CA 95113. Thanks to “Zoom”, we can hold a video conference with customers, business partners, clients and employees very easily and without any software installation. In this data protection declaration we go into more detail about the service and inform you about the most important aspects relevant to data protection.

Zoom is one of the world's most popular video conferencing solutions. With the "Zoom Meetings" service, for example, we can hold an online video conference with you, but also with employees or other users in a digital conference room. We can very easily get in touch digitally, exchange ideas on various topics, send text messages or even make phone calls. You can also use zoom to share the screen, exchange files and use a whiteboard.

Why do we use Zoom on our website?

It is important to us that we can communicate with you quickly and easily. And this is exactly what Zoom offers us. The software program also works directly through a browser. That means we can simply send you a link and start the video conference. In addition, additional functions such as screen sharing or exchanging files are of course very practical.

What data does Zoom save?

When you use Zoom, data is also collected from you so that Zoom can provide its services. On the one hand, this is data that you consciously make available to the company. This includes, for example, your name, telephone number or your email address. However, data is also automatically transmitted to Zoom and saved. This includes, for example, the technical data of your browser or your IP address. In the following, we will take a closer look at the data that Zoom can collect and store from you:

If you provide data such as your name, your user name, your e-mail address or your telephone number, this data will be saved by Zoom. Content that you upload while using Zoom is also saved. This includes, for example, files or chat logs.

The technical data that Zoom automatically saves includes not only the IP address already mentioned above, but also the MAC address, other device IDs, device type, which operating system you are using, which client you are using, camera type, microphone and speaker type. Your approximate location is also determined and saved. Zoom also stores information about how you use the service. For example, whether you “zoom” in on your desktop or smartphone, whether you are making a phone call or VoIP, whether you are participating with or without a video, or whether you are requesting a password. Zoom also records so-called metadata such as duration of the meeting / call, start and end of meeting participation, meeting name and chat status.

Zoom erwähnt in der eigenen Datenschutzerklärung, dass das Unternehmen keine Werbecookies oder Tracking-Technologien für Ihre Dienste verwenden. Nur auf den eigenen Marketing-Websites wie etwa www.zoom.us werden diese Trackingmethoden genutzt. Zoom verkauft personenbezogenen Daten nicht weiter und nutzt diese auch nicht für Werbezwecke.

Wie lange und wo werden die Daten gespeichert?

Zoom gibt diesbezüglich keinen konkreten Zeitrahmen bekannt, sondern betont, dass die erhobenen Daten solange gespeichert bleiben, wie es zur Bereitstellung der Dienste bzw. für die eigenen Zwecke nötig ist. Länger werden die Daten nur gespeichert, wenn dies aus rechtlichen Gründen gefordert wird.

Grundsätzlich speichert Zoom die erhobenen Daten auf amerikanischen Servern, aber Daten können weltweit auf unterschiedlichen Rechenzentren eintreffen.

Wie kann ich meine Daten löschen bzw. die Datenspeicherung verhindern?

Wenn Sie nicht wollen, dass Daten während des Zoom-Meetings gespeichert werden, müssen Sie auf das Meeting verzichten. Sie haben aber auch immer das Recht und die Möglichkeit all Ihre personenbezogenen Daten löschen zu lassen. Falls Sie ein Zoom-Konto haben, finden Sie unter https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/201363243-How-Do-I-Delete-Terminate-My-Account eine Anleitung wie Sie Ihr Konto löschen können.

Bitte beachten Sie, dass bei der Verwendung dieses Tools Daten von Ihnen auch außerhalb der EU gespeichert und verarbeitet werden können. Die meisten Drittstaaten (darunter auch die USA) gelten nach derzeitigem europäischen Datenschutzrecht als nicht sicher. Daten an unsichere Drittstaaten dürfen also nicht einfach übertragen, dort gespeichert und verarbeitet werden, sofern es keine passenden Garantien (wie etwa EU-Standardvertragsklauseln) zwischen uns und dem außereuropäischen Dienstleister gibt.

Rechtsgrundlage

Wenn Sie eingewilligt haben, dass Daten von Ihnen durch die Video bzw. Streaming-Lösung verarbeitet und gespeichert werden können, gilt diese Einwilligung als Rechtsgrundlage der Datenverarbeitung (Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. a DSGVO). Zudem können wir auch eine Videokonferenz als Teil unserer Services anbieten, wenn dies im Vorfeld mit Ihnen vertraglich vereinbart wurde (Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. b DSGVO). Grundsätzlich werden Ihre Daten auch auf Grundlage unseres berechtigten Interesses (Art. 6 Abs. 1 lit. f DSGVO) an einer schnellen und guten Kommunikation mit Ihnen oder anderen Kunden und Geschäftspartnern gespeichert und verarbeitet, jedoch nur, soweit Sie zumindest eingewilligt haben.

Wir weisen darauf hin, dass nach Meinung des Europäischen Gerichtshofs derzeit kein angemessenes Schutzniveau für den Datentransfer in die USA besteht. Die Datenverarbeitung geschieht im Wesentlichen durch Zoom. Dies kann dazu führen, dass gegebenenfalls Daten nicht anonymisiert verarbeitet und gespeichert werden. Ferner können gegebenenfalls US-amerikanische staatliche Behörden Zugriff auf einzelne Daten nehmen. Es kann ferner vorkommen, dass diese Daten mit Daten aus möglichen anderen Diensten von Zoom, bei denen Sie ein Nutzerkonto haben, verknüpft werden.

We hope to have given you an overview of the data processing by Zoom. Of course, the company's data protection guidelines can always change. We therefore recommend that you also read Zoom's data protection declaration at https://zoom.us/de-de/privacy.html for more information .
