Privacy Policy

We are very pleased that you are interested in our company. Data protection is of a particularly high priority for the management of 1000° Digital GmbH. The use of the Internet pages of 1000° Digital GmbH is possible without any indication of personal data; however, if a data subject wants to use special enterprise services via our website, processing of personal data could become necessary. If the processing of personal data is necessary and there is no legal basis for such processing, we generally obtain the consent of the data subject.

The processing of personal data, such as the name, address, e-mail address, or telephone number of a data subject shall always be in line with the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), and in accordance with the country-specific data protection regulations applicable to 1000° Digital GmbH. By means of this data protection declaration, our enterprise would like to inform the general public of the nature, scope, and purpose of the personal data we collect, use and process. Furthermore, data subjects are informed of their rights by means of this data protection declaration.

As the controller, 1000° Digital GmbH has implemented numerous technical and organizational measures to ensure the most complete protection of personal data processed through this website. However, Internet-based data transmissions can generally have security gaps, so absolute protection cannot be guaranteed. For this reason, every data subject is free to transmit personal data to us via alternative means, e.g. by telephone.

1. definitions of terms

The data protection declaration of the 1000° Digital GmbH is based on the terms used by the European legislator for the adoption of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Our privacy policy should be easy to read and understand for the public as well as for our customers and business partners. To ensure this, we would like to explain the terminology used in advance.

We use the following terms, among others, in this privacy policy:

Personal data

Personal data is 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 or to one or more factors specific to the physical, physiological, genetic, mental, economic, cultural or social identity of that natural person.

Data subject

Data subject is any identified or identifiable natural person whose personal data is processed by the controller responsible for the processing.

Processing

Processing is any operation or set of operations which is performed on personal data or on sets of personal data, whether or not by automated means, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.

Restriction of processing

Restriction of processing is the marking of stored personal data with the aim of restricting its future processing.

Profiling

Profiling is any form of automated processing of personal data consisting of the use of personal data to evaluate certain personal aspects relating to a natural person, in particular to analyse or predict aspects concerning that natural person’s performance at work, economic situation, health, personal preferences, interests, reliability, behaviour, location or movements.

Pseudonymisation

Pseudonymisation is the processing of personal data in such a manner that the personal data can no longer be attributed to a specific data subject without the use of additional information, provided that such additional information is kept separately and is subject to technical and organisational measures to ensure that the personal data are not attributed to an identified or identifiable natural person.

Controller or controller responsible for the processing

Controller or controller responsible for the processing is 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. Where the purposes and means of such processing are determined by Union or Member State law, the controller or the specific criteria for its nomination may be provided for by Union or Member State law.

Processor

Processor is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or other body which processes personal data on behalf of the controller.

Recipient

Recipient is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or another body, to which the personal data are disclosed, whether a third party or not. However, public authorities which may receive personal data in the framework of a particular enquiry in accordance with Union or Member State law shall not be regarded as recipients.

Third party

A third party is a natural or legal person, public authority, agency or body other than the data subject, the controller, the processor and the persons who, under the direct authority of the controller or processor, are authorised to process the personal data.

Consent

Consent is any freely given, specific, informed and unambiguous indication of the data subject’s wishes by which he or she, by a statement or by a clear affirmative action, signifies agreement to the processing of personal data relating to him or her.

2. name and address of the controller responsible for processing

The controller within the meaning of the General Data Protection Regulation, other data protection laws applicable in the Member States of the European Union and other provisions of a data protection nature is

1000° Digital GmbH
Mozartstraße 3
04107 Leipzig
Leipzig, Germany

Phone: 0341-96382-82
E-mail: info@1000grad.de
Websites: www.1000grad.de

3. name and address of the data protection officer

The data protection officer of the controller is

Mr Thilo Machill
1000° Digital GmbH
Mozartstraße 3
04107 Leipzig
Leipzig, Germany

E-mail: datenschutz@1000grad.de
Website: www.1000grad.de

Any data subject can contact our data protection officer directly at any time with any questions or suggestions regarding data protection.

4. cookies

The Internet pages of the 1000° Digital GmbH use cookies. Cookies are text files that are placed and stored on a computer system via an Internet browser.

Numerous websites and servers use cookies. Many cookies contain a so-called cookie ID. A cookie ID is a unique identifier of the cookie. It consists of a character string that allows websites and servers to be assigned to the specific internet browser in which the cookie was stored. This enables the websites and servers visited to distinguish the individual browser of the data subject from other Internet browsers that contain other cookies. A specific Internet browser can be recognised and identified via the unique cookie ID.

Through the use of cookies, the 1000° Digital GmbH can provide the users of this website with more user-friendly services that would not be possible without the cookie setting.

By means of a cookie, the information and offers on our website can be optimised for the benefit of the user. As already mentioned, cookies enable us to recognise the users of our website. The purpose of this recognition is to make it easier for users to use our website. For example, the user of a website that uses cookies does not have to re-enter their access data each time they visit the website because this is taken over by the website and the cookie stored on the user’s computer system. Another example is the cookie of a shopping basket in an online shop. The online shop remembers the items that a customer has placed in the virtual shopping basket via a cookie.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies by our website at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Furthermore, cookies that have already been set can be deleted at any time via an internet browser or other software programmes. This is possible in all common internet browsers. If the data subject deactivates the setting of cookies in the Internet browser used, not all functions of our website may be fully usable.

5. collection of general data and information

The website of the 1000° Digital GmbH collects a series of general data and information when a data subject or automated system calls up the website. This general data and information is stored in the server log files. The following can be recorded

Browser types and versions used,
the operating system used by the accessing system
the website from which an accessing system reaches our website (so-called referrer)
the sub-websites which are accessed via an accessing system on our website
the date and time of access to the website
an internet protocol address (IP address),
the internet service provider of the accessing system and
other similar data and information used for security purposes in the event of attacks on our information technology systems.
When using these general data and information, the 1000° Digital GmbH does not draw any conclusions about the data subject. Rather, this information is required in order to

deliver the content of our website correctly
optimise the content of our website and the advertising for it
ensure the long-term functionality of our information technology systems and the technology of our website, and
to provide law enforcement authorities with the information necessary for criminal prosecution in the event of a cyber attack.
Therefore, the 1000° Digital GmbH analyses anonymously collected data and information statistically, with the aim of increasing the data protection and data security of our enterprise, and to ensure an optimal level of protection for the personal data we process. The anonymous data of the server log files are stored separately from all personal data provided by a data subject.

6 Registration and user accounts on our website

Registration
The data subject has the option of registering on the controller’s website by providing personal data. Which personal data is transmitted to the data controller is determined by the respective input mask used for registration. The personal data entered by the data subject is collected and stored exclusively for internal use by the controller and for the controller’s own purposes. The controller may arrange for the data to be passed on to one or more processors, such as a parcel service provider, who will also use the personal data exclusively for internal use attributable to the controller.

By registering on the controller’s website, the IP address assigned by the data subject’s Internet service provider (ISP), the date and time of registration are also stored. This data is stored against the background that this is the only way to prevent the misuse of our services and, if necessary, to enable criminal offences to be investigated. In this respect, the storage of this data is necessary to safeguard the controller. This data is not passed on to third parties unless there is a legal obligation to pass it on or the passing on serves the purpose of criminal prosecution.

The registration of the data subject with the voluntary provision of personal data serves the controller to offer the data subject content or services which, due to the nature of the matter, can only be offered to registered users. Registered persons are free to change the personal data provided during registration at any time or to have it completely deleted from the controller’s database.

The data controller shall provide any data subject with information at any time on request as to which personal data relating to the data subject is stored. Furthermore, the controller shall rectify or erase personal data at the request or notice of the data subject, provided that this does not conflict with any statutory retention obligations. A data protection officer named in this privacy policy and all of the controller’s employees are available to the data subject as contact persons in this context.

User accounts
In the event of registration, a user account is created for the data subject. The user account is not public and cannot be indexed by search engines. If the data subject has cancelled their user account, their data will be deleted with regard to the user account, subject to their retention is necessary for commercial or tax law reasons in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 lit. c GDPR. It is the responsibility of the data subject to back up their data before the end of the contract in the event of cancellation. We are authorised to irretrievably delete all data of the data subject stored during the term of the contract.

7. subscription to our newsletter

On the website of the 1000° Digital GmbH, users are given the opportunity to subscribe to our enterprise’s newsletter. The input mask used for this purpose determines what personal data are transmitted to the controller when the newsletter is ordered.

The 1000° Digital GmbH informs its customers and business partners regularly by means of a newsletter about enterprise offers. The newsletter of our company can only be received by the data subject if (1) the data subject has a valid e-mail address and (2) the data subject registers to receive the newsletter. For legal reasons, a confirmation e-mail is sent to the e-mail address entered by a data subject for the first time for newsletter dispatch using the double opt-in procedure. This confirmation email is used to check whether the owner of the email address as the data subject has authorised the receipt of the newsletter.

When registering for the newsletter, we also store the IP address assigned by the Internet service provider (ISP) of the computer system used by the data subject at the time of registration, as well as the date and time of registration. The collection of this data is necessary in order to be able to trace the (possible) misuse of a data subject’s e-mail address at a later date and therefore serves as legal protection for the controller.

The personal data collected when registering for the newsletter is used exclusively for sending our newsletter. Furthermore, subscribers to the newsletter may be informed by e-mail if this is necessary for the operation of the newsletter service or a registration in this regard, as could be the case in the event of changes to the newsletter offer or in the event of a change in technical circumstances. The personal data collected as part of the newsletter service will not be passed on to third parties. The subscription to our newsletter can be cancelled by the data subject at any time. The consent to the storage of personal data, which the data subject has given us for the newsletter dispatch, can be revoked at any time. There is a corresponding link in every newsletter for the purpose of revoking consent. It is also possible to unsubscribe from the newsletter at any time directly on the controller’s website or to inform the controller of this in another way.

8 Newsletter tracking

The newsletters of 1000° Digital GmbH contain so-called tracking pixels. A tracking pixel is a miniature graphic that is embedded in e-mails sent in HTML format to enable log file recording and log file analysis. This allows the success or failure of online marketing campaigns to be statistically analysed. Based on the embedded tracking pixel, the 1000° Digital GmbH may see if and when an e-mail was opened by a data subject, and which links in the e-mail were called up by data subjects.

Such personal data collected via the tracking pixels contained in the newsletters are stored and evaluated by the data controller in order to optimise the newsletter dispatch and to adapt the content of future newsletters even better to the interests of the data subject. This personal data is not passed on to third parties. Data subjects are entitled at any time to revoke the separate declaration of consent given in this regard via the double opt-in procedure. After cancellation, this personal data will be deleted by the controller. The 1000° Digital GmbH automatically regards a withdrawal from the receipt of the newsletter as a revocation.

9. contact possibility via the website

The website of the 1000° Digital GmbH contains information that enables a quick electronic contact to our enterprise, as well as direct communication with us, which also includes a general address of the so-called electronic mail (e-mail address). If a data subject contacts the data controller by e-mail or via a contact form, the personal data transmitted by the data subject is automatically stored. Such personal data transmitted on a voluntary basis by a data subject to the controller are stored for the purposes of processing or contacting the data subject. This personal data is not passed on to third parties.

10. assistance systems (platform, chatbot Kiko)

Some of the 1000° Digital GmbH websites contain assistance systems in the form of chatbots. If you use these systems, the chat history is recorded. This serves to improve and further develop the service (e.g. training of unknown user input). This data processing is based on our legitimate interest in accordance with Art. 6 para. 1 sentence 1 lit. f GDPR. All chat histories are deleted no later than three months after collection. If you are asked to enter your contact details in the course of the chat dialogue, the regulations from ‘9. Contact option via the website’ apply.

Microsoft Teams app (application, chatbot Kiko)
The Kiko chatbot can be operated as a Microsoft Teams app. Read the terms of use here.

11 Routine erasure and blocking of personal data

The 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 purpose of storage ceases to apply or if a storage period prescribed by the European Directive and Regulation Giver or another competent legislator expires, the personal data will be routinely blocked or deleted in accordance with the statutory provisions.

12. rights of the data subject

Right to confirmation
Each data subject shall have the right granted by the European legislator to obtain from the controller the confirmation as to whether or not personal data concerning him or her are being processed.

Furthermore, the data subject has a right to information as to whether personal data has been transferred to a third country or to an international organisation.

If this is the case, the data subject also has the right to obtain information about the appropriate safeguards in connection with the transfer.If a data subject wishes to avail himself of this right of access, he or she may, at any time, contact our Data Protection Officer or another employee of the controller.

Right to rectification
Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to request the immediate rectification of inaccurate personal data concerning him or her. Furthermore, the data subject has the right, taking into account the purposes of the processing, to request the completion of incomplete personal data – also by means of a supplementary statement.

If a data subject wishes to exercise this right to rectification, he or she can contact our data protection officer or another employee of the controller at any time.

Right to erasure (right to be forgotten)
Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to request the controller to immediately erase personal data concerning him or her, provided that one of the following reasons applies and processing is not necessary:

The personal data were collected or otherwise processed for such purposes for which they are no longer necessary.
The data subject withdraws consent on which the processing is based according to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR or Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR, and there is no other legal ground for the processing.
The data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (1) GDPR and there are no overriding legitimate grounds for the processing, or the data subject objects to the processing pursuant to Art. 21 (2) GDPR.
The personal data have been processed unlawfully.
The erasure of the personal data is necessary to fulfill a legal obligation under Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject.
The personal data were collected in relation to information society services offered pursuant to Art. 8 (1) GDPR.
If one of the above reasons applies and a data subject wishes to request the erasure of personal data stored by 1000° Digital GmbH, he or she may contact our data protection officer or another employee of the controller at any time. The data protection officer of 1000° Digital GmbH or another employee will ensure that the erasure request is complied with immediately.

If the personal data was made public by 1000° Digital GmbH and our company as the controller pursuant to Art. 17 Para. 1 GDPR is obliged to erase the personal data, 1000° Digital GmbH shall take appropriate measures, including technical ones, taking into account the available technology and the implementation costs, in order to inform other data controllers which process the published personal data that the data subject has requested the erasure by such controllers of all links to these personal data or of copies or replications of these personal data, unless processing is required. The data protection officer of 1000° Digital GmbH or another employee will arrange the necessary measures in individual cases.

Right to restriction of processing
Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to request the controller to restrict processing if one of the following conditions applies:

If one of the above conditions is met and a data subject wishes to request the restriction of personal data stored by 1000° Digital GmbH, he or she may contact our data protection officer or another employee of the controller at any time. The data protection officer of 1000° Digital GmbH or another employee will arrange the restriction of processing.

Right to data portability
Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to receive the personal data concerning him or her, which was made available to a controller, in a structured, common and machine-readable format. He or she also has the right to transmit this data to another controller without hindrance from the controller to whom the personal data was made available, provided that the processing is based on consent pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (a) GDPR or Art. 9 (2) (a) GDPR or on a contract pursuant to Art. 6 (1) (b) GDPR and the processing is carried out using automated procedures, unless the processing is necessary for the performance of a task carried out in the public interest or in the exercise of official authority vested in the controller.

Furthermore, in exercising his or her right to data portability pursuant to Art. 20 (1) GDPR, the data subject has the right to have the personal data transmitted directly from one controller to another, where technically feasible and provided that this does not adversely affect the rights and freedoms of others.

In addition, the data subject has the right to object to the processing of personal data concerning him or her by 1000° Digital GmbH for scientific or historical research purposes or for statistical purposes pursuant to Art. 89 Para. 1 GDPR, unless such processing is necessary to perform a task carried out in the public interest, for reasons related to his or her particular situation.

To exercise the right to object, the data subject may contact the data protection officer of 1000° Digital GmbH or another employee directly. The data subject is also free to exercise his or her right of objection by automated means using technical specifications in connection with the use of information society services, notwithstanding Directive 2002/58/EC.

Automated decisions in individual cases, including profiling
Every person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator not to be subjected to a decision based solely on automated processing – including profiling – which produces legal effects concerning him or her or similarly significantly affects him or her, unless the decision (1) is necessary for entering into, or the performance of, a contract between the data subject and the controller, or (2) is permitted by Union or Member State law to which the controller is subject and which contains appropriate measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, or (3) is made with the data subject’s explicit consent.

is necessary for the conclusion or performance of a contract between the data subject and the controller or
is it made with the data subject’s explicit consent,

1000° Digital GmbH shall take appropriate measures to safeguard the data subject’s rights and freedoms and legitimate interests, including at least the right to obtain human intervention on the part of the controller, to express his or her point of view and to contest the decision.

Right to withdraw consent under data protection law

Any person affected by the processing of personal data has the right granted by the European legislator to withdraw consent to the processing of personal data at any time.

If the data subject wishes to exercise his or her right to withdraw consent, he or she may contact our data protection officer or another employee of the controller at any time.

13. Data protection for applications and in the application process

The controller collects and processes the personal data of applicants for the purpose of processing the application process. Processing can also be carried out electronically. This is particularly the case if an applicant sends the relevant application documents to the controller electronically, for example by email or via a web form on the website. If the controller concludes an employment contract with an applicant, the transmitted data is stored for the purpose of processing the employment relationship in compliance with the statutory provisions. If the controller does not conclude an employment contract with the applicant, the application documents are automatically deleted two months after the rejection decision is announced, provided that there are no other legitimate interests of the controller that conflict with deletion. Other legitimate interests in this sense include, for example, a burden of proof in proceedings under the General Equal Treatment Act (AGG).

Applicant management system (BMS)
We use the Faire-Karriere.de widget from pludoni GmbH (https://www.pludoni.de/impressum) to display reviews of our company on certain areas of our website. When you visit our website, a one-time secure connection is established via HTTPS to https://www.faire-karriere.de/. This connection is necessary so that our profile and associated content can be displayed. Log files are created that contain access data (name of the website accessed, file, date and time of access, amount of data transferred, notification of successful access, browser type and version, the user’s operating system, referrer URL (the previously visited page), IP address and the requesting provider). Log files are processed for the purpose of troubleshooting and for security reasons (e.g. to investigate misuse or fraud) and are stored for a maximum of 3 months and then deleted. Data that needs to be retained for evidentiary purposes will not be deleted until the incident in question has been finally resolved. The legal basis under the GDPR is Art. 6, Paragraph 1b, or Art. 28 (contract processing). As a contractor, pludoni GmbH processes all data that arises on our behalf. For detailed information on the processing of your data in connection with the Faire-Karriere.de widget, please refer to the separate data protection declaration (https://www.faire-karriere.de/datenschutz) of pludoni GmbH.

14. Data protection provisions on the application and use of external applications

Components of the Facebook company (services)
The controller has integrated components of the Facebook company on this website. Facebook is a social network.

A social network is a social meeting place operated on the Internet, an online community that generally enables users to communicate with each other and interact in virtual space. A social network can serve as a platform for exchanging opinions and experiences or enables the Internet community to provide personal or company-related information. Facebook enables users of the social network to create private profiles, upload photos and network via friend requests, among other things.

The operating company of Facebook is Facebook, Inc., 1 Hacker Way, Menlo Park, CA 94025, USA. If a data subject lives outside the USA or Canada, the controller for the processing of personal data is Facebook Ireland Ltd., 4 Grand Canal Square, Grand Canal Harbour, Dublin 2, Ireland.

Each time one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Facebook component (Facebook plug-in) has been integrated, is accessed, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the data subject is automatically prompted by the respective Facebook component to download a representation of the corresponding Facebook component from Facebook. A complete overview of all Facebook plug-ins can be accessed at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/?locale=de_DE. As part of this technical process, Facebook receives knowledge of which specific subpage of our website is visited by the data subject.

If the data subject is logged in to Facebook at the same time, Facebook recognizes which specific subpage of our website the data subject is visiting each time the data subject visits our website and for the entire duration of their stay on our website. This information is collected by the Facebook component and assigned by Facebook to the respective Facebook account of the data subject. If the data subject clicks on one of the Facebook buttons integrated on our website, for example the „Like“ button, or if the data subject makes a comment, Facebook assigns this information to the personal Facebook user account of the data subject and stores this personal data.

Facebook always receives information via the Facebook component that the data subject has visited our website if the data subject is logged in to Facebook at the same time when accessing our website; this occurs regardless of whether the data subject clicks on the Facebook component or not. If the data subject does not want this information to be transmitted to Facebook, he or she can prevent the transmission by logging out of his or her Facebook account before accessing our website.

The data policy published by Facebook, which can be accessed at https://de-de.facebook.com/about/privacy/, provides information about the collection, processing and use of personal data by Facebook. It also explains which setting options Facebook offers to protect the privacy of the data subject. In addition, various applications are available that make it possible to suppress data transmission to Facebook. Such applications can be used by the data subject to suppress data transmission to Facebook.

Google Tag Manager (service)
The controller has integrated the Google Tag Manager component on this website. The Tag Manager does not collect any personal data. The tool triggers other tags, which in turn may collect data. Google Tag Manager does not access this data. If deactivation has been carried out at domain or cookie level, this remains in place for all tracking tags that are implemented with Google Tag Manager. You can find Google’s privacy policy for this tool here: https://www.google.de/tagmanager/use-policy.html

Google Analytics (service with anonymization function)
The controller has integrated the Google Analytics component (with anonymization function) on this website. Google Analytics is a web analysis service. Web analysis is the collection, gathering and evaluation of data about the behavior of visitors to websites. A web analysis service collects, among other things, data about the website from which a data subject came to a website (so-called referrer), which subpages of the website were accessed, or how often and for how long a subpage was viewed. Web analysis is mainly used to optimize a website and to carry out a cost-benefit analysis of internet advertising.

The operating company of the Google Analytics component is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

The controller uses the addition “_gat._anonymizeIp” for web analysis via Google Analytics. Using this addition, the IP address of the data subject’s internet connection is shortened and anonymized by Google if our websites are accessed from a member state of the European Union or from another contracting state to the Agreement on the European Economic Area.

The purpose of the Google Analytics component is to analyze visitor flows on our website. Google uses the data and information obtained, among other things, to evaluate the use of our website, to compile online reports for us that show the activities on our websites, and to provide other services related to the use of our website.

Google Analytics sets a cookie on the information technology system of the person concerned. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is enabled to analyze the use of our website. Each time one of the individual pages of this website, which is operated by the controller and on which a Google Analytics component has been integrated, is accessed, the Internet browser on the information technology system of the person concerned is automatically prompted by the respective Google Analytics component to transmit data to Google for the purpose of online analysis. As part of this technical procedure, Google receives knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address of the person concerned, which Google uses, among other things, to trace the origin of visitors and clicks and subsequently enable commission settlements.

The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the access time, the location from which access was made and the frequency of visits to our website by the data subject. Whenever our website is visited, this personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected through the technical process to third parties.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies through our website, as already explained above, at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the internet browser or other software programs.

Furthermore, the data subject has the option of objecting to and preventing the collection of data generated by Google Analytics relating to the use of this website and the processing of this data by Google. To do so, the data subject must download and install a browser add-on under the link https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout. This browser add-on informs Google Analytics via JavaScript that no data and information on visits to websites may be transmitted to Google Analytics. The installation of the browser add-on is considered an objection by Google. If the information technology system of the data subject is deleted, formatted or reinstalled at a later date, the data subject must reinstall the browser add-on to deactivate Google Analytics. If the browser add-on is uninstalled or deactivated by the data subject or another person within their sphere of control, it is possible to reinstall or reactivate the browser add-on.

Further information and Google’s applicable data protection provisions can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/ and at http://www.google.com/analytics/terms/de.html. Google Analytics is explained in more detail at this link https://www.google.com/intl/de_de/analytics/.

Google AdWords (service)
The controller has integrated Google AdWords on this website. Google AdWords is an internet advertising service that allows advertisers to place ads in Google’s search engine results as well as in the Google advertising network. Google AdWords enables an advertiser to pre-define certain keywords by means of which an ad is only displayed in Google’s search engine results when the user retrieves a keyword-relevant search result using the search engine. In the Google advertising network, the ads are distributed on topic-relevant websites using an automatic algorithm and taking into account the previously defined keywords.

The operating company of the Google AdWords services is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

The purpose of Google AdWords is to promote our website by displaying interest-relevant advertising on the websites of third-party companies and in the search engine results of the Google search engine and by displaying third-party advertising on our website.

If a data subject reaches our website via a Google ad, a so-called conversion cookie is stored on the information technology system of the data subject by Google. What cookies are has already been explained above. A conversion cookie expires after thirty days and is not used to identify the data subject. The conversion cookie is used, provided the cookie has not yet expired, to track whether certain subpages, such as the shopping cart of an online shop system, were accessed on our website. The conversion cookie enables both us and Google to track whether a data subject who reached our website via an AdWords ad generated sales, i.e. completed or canceled a purchase of goods.

The data and information collected through the use of the conversion cookie are used by Google to create visit statistics for our website. We in turn use these visit statistics to determine the total number of users who were referred to us via AdWords ads, i.e. to determine the success or failure of the respective AdWords ad and to optimize our AdWords ads for the future. Neither our company nor other Google AdWords advertisers receive information from Google that could be used to identify the data subject.

The conversion cookie is used to store personal information, such as the websites visited by the data subject. Each time our website is visited, personal data, including the IP address of the internet connection used by the data subject, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies through our website, as already described above, at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a conversion cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie already set by Google AdWords can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.

The data subject also has the option of objecting to interest-based advertising by Google. To do so, the data subject must call up the link www.google.de/settings/ads from each of the Internet browsers they use and make the desired settings there.

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

Google Remarketing (service)
The controller has integrated Google Remarketing services on this website. Google Remarketing is a function of Google AdWords that enables a company to display advertisements to Internet users who have previously visited the company’s website. The integration of Google Remarketing therefore allows a company to create user-related advertising and thus display advertisements relevant to the Internet user’s interests.

The operating company of the Google Remarketing services is Google Inc., 1600 Amphitheatre Pkwy, Mountain View, CA 94043-1351, USA.

The purpose of Google Remarketing is to display interest-relevant advertising. Google Remarketing enables us to display advertisements via the Google advertising network or to display them on other websites that are tailored to the individual needs and interests of Internet users.

Google Remarketing sets a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. What cookies are has already been explained above. By setting the cookie, Google is able to recognize the visitor to our website when he or she subsequently visits websites that are also members of the Google advertising network. Whenever a website is accessed on which the Google Remarketing service has been integrated, the Internet browser of the person concerned automatically identifies itself with Google. As part of this technical process, Google receives knowledge of personal data, such as the IP address or the surfing behavior of the user, which Google uses, among other things, to display interest-relevant advertising.

The cookie is used to store personal information, such as the websites visited by the person concerned. Whenever our website is visited, personal data, including the IP address of the Internet connection used by the person concerned, is transmitted to Google in the United States of America. This personal data is stored by Google in the United States of America. Google may pass on this personal data collected via the technical process to third parties.

The data subject can prevent the setting of cookies through our website, as already described above, at any time by means of a corresponding setting of the Internet browser used and thus permanently object to the setting of cookies. Such a setting of the Internet browser used would also prevent Google from setting a cookie on the information technology system of the data subject. In addition, a cookie already set by Google Analytics can be deleted at any time via the Internet browser or other software programs.

Further information and the applicable data protection provisions of Google can be found at https://www.google.de/intl/de/policies/privacy/.

Google reCAPTCHA (service)
The controller has integrated the Google reCAPTCHA component of Google Ireland Limited („Google“) (Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland) on this website. It serves the purpose of distinguishing whether the input is made by a human or by automated, machine processing. The query includes sending the IP address and, if applicable, other data required by Google for the reCAPTCHA service to Google. For this purpose, your input is transmitted to Google and used there. However, your IP address is shortened beforehand by Google within member states of the European Union or in other contracting states to the Agreement on the European Economic Area. Only in exceptional cases is the full IP address transmitted to a Google server in the USA and shortened there. On behalf of the operator of this website, Google will use this information to evaluate your use of this service. The IP address transmitted by your browser as part of reCaptcha will not be merged with other Google data. Your data may also be transmitted to the USA.

By clicking on the query, you consent to the processing of your data. The processing is carried out on the basis of Art. 6 (1) lit. a GDPR with your consent. You can revoke your consent at any time without affecting the legality of the processing carried out on the basis of the consent until the revocation.

You can find more information about Google reCAPTCHA here: Recaptcha website, data protection declaration, possibility of objection (opt-out plug-in).

Zoho CRM (platform)
The controller has integrated the Zoho CRM component on this website. Our customer management for organizing business contacts and commercial activities is implemented with Zoho CRM. For this purpose, personal data is stored on the systems of Zoho Corporation B.V., Beneluxlaan 4B, 3527 HT UTRECHT, Netherlands.

Zoho stores this data exclusively on servers in the EU. Zoho’s complete privacy policy can be found at https://www.zoho.com/privacy.html.

Mailchimp (service)
The controller has integrated the MailChimp component on this website. The newsletter and reports are sent using MailChimp, a newsletter distribution platform from the US provider Rocket Science Group, LLC, 675 Ponce De Leon Ave NE #5000, Atlanta, GA 30308, USA.

The email addresses of our newsletter recipients, as well as their other data described in this notice, are stored on MailChimp’s servers in the USA. MailChimp uses this information to send and evaluate the newsletter on our behalf. Furthermore, according to its own information, MailChimp can use this data to optimize or improve its own services, e.g. to technically optimize the sending and presentation of the newsletter or for commercial purposes in order to determine which countries the recipients come from. However, MailChimp does not use the data of our newsletter recipients to write to them itself or to pass it on to third parties.

You can view MailChimp’s data protection regulations here: https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/.

We only send newsletters, emails and other electronic notifications with advertising information (hereinafter „newsletters“) with the consent of the recipients or legal permission. If the contents of the newsletter are specifically described when registering for the newsletter, they are decisive for the consent of the users. Our newsletters also contain information about the digital transformation in the economy (this may include references to articles, advertisements, white papers or online presences).

Mailjet (service)
The controller has integrated the Mailjet component on this website. System emails are sent using Mailjet, an email marketing service. The service provider is the German company Mailjet GmbH, Alt-Moabit 2, 10557 Berlin, Germany.

Mandrill (service)
The Mandrill component is integrated into the newsletter application connected to the website. It is used to send the newsletter. This is also an offer from The Rocket Science Group, LLC, 512 Means Street, Suite 404 Atlanta, GA 30318 („Mandrill“). This service enables us to manage a database of email contacts internally. The service manages data about when an email we have sent has been read or when links contained in it have been opened. As in the case of Mailchimp, Mandrill is based in the USA. Your personal data will therefore be transferred to a country outside the European Economic Area that does not have the same level of protection for personal data as within the European Economic Area. For this reason, we have entered into a contractual agreement (so-called EU standard contractual clauses) with The Rocket Science Group, LLC, through which Mandrill undertakes to protect the personal data of our newsletter subscribers in particular and to process the personal data only on our behalf and in accordance with our instructions. Further information about Mandrill and data protection at Mandrill can be found in Mailchimp’s privacy policy: https://mailchimp.com/legal/privacy/

Zendesk (service)
The controller has integrated the Zendesk component on this website. We use it to process customer inquiries, e.g. from a contact form using a ticket system. This is a customer service platform from Zendesk Inc., 989 Market Street #300, San Francisco, CA 94102 („Zendesk“).

If Zendesk transfers the data to other third countries for which there is no adequacy decision, this is done on the basis of binding internal data protection regulations in accordance with Art. 47 GDPR. These policies are available at https://d1eipm3vz40hy0.cloudfront.net/pdf/ZENDESK – BCR Processor Policy.pdf and https://d1eipm3vz40hy0.cloudfront.net/pdf/ZENDESK-BCR-Controller-Policy.pdf.

Integration of third-party services and content
The 1000° Digital GmbH websites use content or service offerings from third parties to integrate their content and services, such as videos or fonts (hereinafter referred to as “content”). This always requires that the third-party providers of this content perceive the IP address of the users, since without the IP address they would not be able to send the content to their browser. The IP address is therefore required to display this content. We endeavor to only use content whose respective providers only use the IP address to deliver the content. Third-party providers can also use so-called pixel tags (invisible graphics, also known 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 can also be stored in cookies on the user’s device and contain, among other things, technical information about the browser and operating system, referring websites, time of visit and other information about the use of our online offer, as well as being linked to such information from other sources.

The following presentation provides an overview of third-party providers and their content, along with links to their privacy policies, which contain further information on the processing of data and, in some cases already mentioned here, options for objection (so-called opt-out):

15. Payment methods

Data protection provisions for PayPal as a payment method
The controller has integrated PayPal components on this website. PayPal is an online payment service provider. Payments are processed via so-called PayPal accounts, which are virtual private or business accounts. PayPal also offers the option of processing virtual payments via credit cards if a user does not have a PayPal account. A PayPal account is managed via an email address, which is why there is no classic account number. PayPal makes it possible to initiate online payments to third parties or to receive payments. PayPal also performs trustee functions and offers buyer protection services.

The European operating company of PayPal is PayPal (Europe) S.à.r.l. & Cie. S.C.A., 22-24 Boulevard Royal, 2449 Luxembourg, Luxembourg.

If the data subject selects “PayPal” as a payment option during the ordering process in our online shop, the data subject’s data will be automatically transmitted to PayPal. By selecting this payment option, the person concerned consents to the transmission of personal data required for payment processing.

The personal data transmitted to PayPal are usually first name, last name, address, email address, IP address, telephone number, mobile phone number or other data that are necessary for payment processing. Personal data that is related to the respective order is also necessary for processing the purchase contract.

The purpose of transmitting the data is to process payments and prevent fraud. The person responsible for processing will transmit personal data to PayPal in particular if there is a legitimate interest in the transmission. The personal data exchanged between PayPal and the person responsible for processing may be transmitted by PayPal to credit agencies. This transmission is for the purpose of identity and credit checks.

PayPal may pass on the personal data to affiliated companies and service providers or subcontractors if this is necessary to fulfill the contractual obligations or if the data is to be processed on behalf of the customer.

The person concerned has the option of revoking their consent to PayPal handling personal data at any time. A revocation does not affect personal data that must be processed, used or transmitted for (contractual) payment processing.

PayPal’s applicable data protection provisions can be found at https://www.paypal.com/de/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full.

Data protection provisions for credit card as a payment method
If you choose to pay by credit card, payment processing will be carried out by the payment service provider Stripe Payments Europe Ltd, Block 4, Harcourt Centre, Harcourt Road, Dublin 2, Ireland, to whom we will pass on the information you provided during the ordering process, along with information about your order (name, address, credit card number, invoice amount, currency and transaction number) in accordance with Art. 6 Para. 1 lit. b GDPR. Your data will be passed on exclusively for the purpose of payment processing with the payment service provider Stripe Payments Europe Ltd. and only to the extent that it is necessary for this purpose. Further information on Stripe’s data protection can be found at the URL https://stripe.com/de/terms

16. Legal basis for processing

Art. 6 I lit. a GDPR serves as the legal basis for our company for processing operations for which we obtain consent for a specific processing purpose. If the processing of personal data is necessary to fulfill a contract to which the data subject is a party, as is the case, for example, with processing operations that are necessary for the delivery of goods or the provision of other services or consideration, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. b GDPR. The same applies to processing operations that are necessary to carry out pre-contractual measures, for example in cases of inquiries about our products or services. If our company is subject to a legal obligation which requires the processing of personal data, such as to fulfill tax obligations, the processing is based on Art. 6 I lit. c GDPR. In rare cases, the processing of personal data may be necessary to protect the vital interests of the data subject or another natural person. This would be the case, for example, if a visitor were injured in our company and his name, age, health insurance data or other vital information had to be passed on to a doctor, hospital or other third parties. In that case, the processing would be based on Art. 6 I lit. d GDPR. Ultimately, processing operations could be based on Art. 6 I lit. f GDPR. This legal basis is used for processing operations that are not covered by any of the aforementioned legal bases if the processing is necessary to safeguard a legitimate interest of our company or a third party, provided that the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not prevail. We are permitted to carry out such processing operations in particular because they were specifically mentioned by the European legislator. In this respect, it took the view that a legitimate interest could be assumed if the data subject is a customer of the controller (Recital 47, Sentence 2 GDPR).

17. Legitimate interests in the processing pursued by the controller or a third party

If the processing of personal data is based on Article 6 I lit. f GDPR, our legitimate interest is the conduct of our business activities for the benefit of the well-being of all our employees and our shareholders.

18. Duration for which the personal data is stored

The criterion for the duration of the storage of personal data is the respective statutory retention period. After expiry of the period, the corresponding data is routinely deleted unless it is no longer required to fulfill or initiate a contract.

19. Legal or contractual provisions for the provision of personal data; necessity for the conclusion of the contract; obligation of the data subject to provide the personal data; possible consequences of non-provision

We would like to inform you that the provision of personal data is partly required by law (e.g. tax regulations) or can also result from contractual regulations (e.g. information on the contractual partner). Sometimes it may be necessary for a data subject to provide us with personal data in order to conclude a contract, which we must subsequently process. For example, the data subject is obliged to provide us with personal data if our company concludes a contract with them. Failure to provide the personal data would mean that the contract with the data subject could not be concluded. Before the data subject provides personal data, the data subject must contact our data protection officer. Our data protection officer will clarify to the data subject on a case-by-case basis 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 what consequences non-provision of the personal data would have.

20. Existence of automated decision-making

As a responsible company, we do not use automated decision-making or profiling.

21. Changes to this data protection declaration

We reserve the right to change the data protection declaration in order to adapt it to changed legal situations or changes to the service or data processing. However, this only applies with regard to declarations on data processing. If the consent of the users is required or if parts of the data protection declaration contain provisions of the contractual relationship with the users, the changes will only be made with the consent of the users.

Users are asked to regularly inform themselves about the content of the data protection declaration.

If you have any questions or comments about this data protection declaration, please feel free to contact us: datenschutz@1000grad.de or use the contact form.
