Scope and Purpose of the Processing of Personal Data

 

The type, scope and purpose of the processing of personal data depends on which of our offers are used. Personal data is processed in particular when our website is visited.

​

Website

 

In order to make our website available to visitors, to provide basic functions, and to enable proper operation the processing of personal data, including IP addresses, is technically necessary. Basically, this is device data. However, since this data may be used to establish a reference to the website, it must be classified as personal data in accordance with the GDPR. The legal basis for the processing of this data is GDPR Article 6(1b - performance of contract).

​

In order to improve the quality of our website, we store data about individual access for statistical purposes. This data set consists of:

​

• Website visited

• Page from which the website was requested

• Time of access

• Amount of data sent in bytes

• Access status (e.g. website not found)

• IP address of the requesting computer

• Browser used

• Operating system used

 

This data is stored anonymously in accordance with the Telemedia Act (TMG). The creation of personal user profiles is therefore excluded. The processing is not expressly carried out for the purpose of gaining knowledge about the person of the visitor to the website. The data will be deleted as soon as they are no longer required to achieve the purpose for which they were collected. If data must be retained for reasons of proof, they are exempt from deletion until the incident has been clarified and finalised. The legal basis for the production is GDPR Article 6(1f - legitimate interest).​

​​

Social Networks

 

For marketing purposes, we are active on popular social networks. There we share the latest news, inform regarding upcoming events, describe our products and services and/or information regarding about offers of our partners. If you contact us via social media, the respective page or our account, we process your personal data, which you transmit to us in this way on the basis of our legitimate interest (in accordance with GDPR Art. 6(1f)) via this network to establish or maintain contact with you. 

​

Our share buttons only receive a link to the relevant social networks. We do not use scripted plugins in this context. Thus, we do not process any personal data at this point.

​

We also ensure that your data (the IP address, cookies or other information) is only transmitted to social networks if you press the corresponding button yourself, and thus possibly also to servers in the USA. The same applies to the links to our social media pages that we have integrated on our website and our e-mails.

​

We have no influence on the scope of the data processed by the respective social media platform. When accessing a social media page, the terms and conditions and the privacy policy of the respective provider apply. It is possible that a social media provider may link your visit to our website or the use of our platform to your user account while you are logged into your social media account.

​

We are active on the following networks:

• Twitter (Twitter International Company, One Cumberland Place, Fenian Street, Dublin 2, Ireland)

• LinkedIn (LinkedIn Ireland Unlimited Company, Wilton Place, Dublin 2, Ireland)

• Xing (New Work SE, Dammtorstraße 30, 20354 Hamburg, Deutschland)

​

Communication

 

To initiate a contractual relationship or within the framework of an existing contractual relationship, we contact interested parties and clients via e-mail. With these e-mails, we support interested parties. On the other hand, we provide our clients with information required by law, inform them about innovations or adjustments to our services or ask for their feedback on how to improve our services.​

​

The legal basis is GDPR Article 6(1b - contractual relationship).

​

We use Google Gmail to process automated e-mails, manage them and create associated statistics. Through Google Gmail, we manage the contact details of our clients and prospects and keep track of when a recipient reads an incoming email and when they have taken an action related to that email. For this purpose, we use so-called web beacons. You can prevent the described evaluations by deactivating the display of images in your e-mail program by default. However, a complete presentation of all content and the full use of all functions of the e-mail program is then not possible.

​

In order to offer our clients an optimal service experience, we have a chatbot on our homepage.The chatbot based on the Service Wix Chat (Wix.com Ltd., Nemal St. 40, 6350671 Tel Aviv, Israel). As part of the use of this offer, personal data may be stored in third countries in accordance with the GDPR.

​

Cookies

 

Cookies are small files that are stored on a visitor's hard drive. They make it possible to keep information for a certain period of time and to identify the computer of the visit.

​

On our website, we use cookies to measure reach and to optimise our offer. The cookies are transmitted either by us or by third parties commissioned by us to the browser of the website visitor and stored there. As a result, recognition of the device used is essentially possible. The data collected in this way is pseudonymous. A direct assignment of the data to the website visitor is therefore not possible. In addition, this data is not stored together with other personal data of the website visitors. In some cases, the data is anonymised before use, so that the conclusion on the website visitor becomes impossible overall.

​

These cookies are only set if you have provided your consent. For this purpose, we provide you with a corresponding communication field at the beginning of the website visit or the use of the platform. For this we use a solution provided by our content management system Wix (Wix.com Ltd., Nemal St. 40, 6350671 Tel Aviv, Israel).

 

The legal basis for the processing is GDPR Art. 6(1a - consent). A given consent can be revoked by the client at any time with effect for the future by adjusting the cookie settings in your browser.

​

Google Services

 

We use the Google Analytics service of Google LLC (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA, "Google"). The registered office of Google is located in a so-called third country. Comparable data protection standards as in the EU are not established there. Therefore, suitable standard protection clauses have been agreed with Google in accordance with GDPR Art. 46, which can be viewed in Google's privacy policy.

​

Google Analytics uses cookies. The information collected in this way is usually sent to a server in the USA and stored there. After 90 days at the latest, cookies that are stored in your company if you give your explicit consent will be completely deleted.

 

There is a data order agreement between Tarantech and Google. As part of this agreement, Google uses the information collected to evaluate the use of our website and provides us with other related services. We use the aforementioned evaluations and services to continuously improve our services.

​

End of the Business Relationship

 

Upon termination of the business relationship between Tarantech and a client, we are obliged to store the client's data in accordance with the statutory retention periods. If these retention obligations are fulfilled, this data will be deleted. Data that does not fall under the retention obligations will be deleted immediately.

​

When processing personal data, the GDPR grants visitors to our website certain rights:

​

• Right to information (GDPR Art. 15): As a user, you have the right to request confirmation as to whether personal data concerning you is being processed. If this is the case, you also have a right to information about this personal data and to the information listed in detail in Art. 15 GDPR. 

• Right to rectification and erasure (GDPR Art. 16 & 17): As a user, you have the right to request the immediate correction of incorrect personal data concerning you and, if necessary, the completion of incomplete personal data. Furthermore, as a user, you have the right to demand that personal data concerning you be deleted immediately if one of the reasons listed in detail in GDPR Art. 17 applies. This is especially true if the data is no longer needed for the original purposes.

• Right to restriction of processing (GDPR Art. 18): As a user, you have the right to demand the restriction of processing if one of the suspensions listed in GDPR Art. 18 exists, for example in the event of objection to processing for the duration of any examination.

Tarantech will then no longer process the personal data unless there are demonstrably compelling legitimate grounds for the processing which override your interests, rights and freedoms, or the processing serves to assert, exercise or defend legal claims.

• Right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority (GDPR Art. 77): As a user, you have the right to lodge a complaint if you believe that the processing of your data violates data protection regulations.
