3. Legal basis for the processing of personal data

Insofar as we obtain the consent of the data subject for processing of personal data, Article 6(1)(a) of the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) serves as the legal basis for the processing of personal data.

In the event that vital interests of the data subject or another natural person require the processing of personal data, Article 6(1)(d) GDPR serves as the legal basis.

If the processing is necessary to safeguard our legitimate interest or that of a third party and if the interests, fundamental rights and freedoms of the data subject do not outweigh the former interest, Article 6(1)(f) GDPR serves as the legal basis for the processing.

7. Newsletter

If the newsletter of our company is subscribed to, the data in the respective input mask will be transmitted to the data controller. The subscription to our newsletter is done in a so-called double opt-in procedure. This means that after registration you will receive an e-mail asking you to confirm your registration. This confirmation is necessary so that no one can register with foreign e-mail addresses.

When registering for the newsletter, the IP address of the user as well as the date and time of registration are stored. This serves to prevent abuse of the services or the e-mail address of the person concerned. The data will be forwarded to our newsletter service provider CleverReach. There is an order processing with CleverReach.

The data is used exclusively for sending the newsletter. The subscription to the newsletter can be cancelled by the data subject at any time. Likewise, the consent to the storage of personal data can be revoked at any time. For this purpose, there is a corresponding link in every newsletter.

The legal basis for the processing of the data after registration for the newsletter by the user is Article 6 (1)(a) GDPR if the user has given his consent. The legal basis for the dispatch of the newsletter as a result of the sale of goods or services is Article 7 (3) UWG.

7.1 CleverReach

Description and purpose

We use the CleverReach service for sending newsletters. The provider of the service used is CleverReach GmbH & Co. KG, Mühlenstr. 43, 26180 Rastede. CleverReach is a service with which the newsletter dispatch can be organized and analysed. The data you enter when registering for the newsletter, such as your e-mail address, is stored on the CleverReach servers in Germany or Ireland.

Newsletters sent with CleverReach allow for an analysis of the behaviour of the respective recipient of the newsletter, which we can perform. In this context, it is possible to analyse, among other things, how many recipients have opened the respective newsletter message and how often, for example, one of the links from the respective newsletter was clicked. In addition, it is possible to perform an analysis through so-called conversion tracking regarding the triggering of an action defined in CleverReach in advance, such as the purchase of goods on this website or the use of a service after a link in the newsletter was clicked.

Legal basis

The legal basis for data processing is your consent in accordance with Article 6(1)(a) GDPR. You can revoke this consent at any time by unsubscribing the newsletter. The revocation of consent does not affect the legality of the processing of the data that has taken place on the basis of the consent until the revocation.

Receiver

The recipient of the data is CleverReach GmbH & Co. KG, Mühlenstr. 43, 26180 Rastede.

Transfer to third countries

The data you enter when registering for the newsletter, such as your e-mail address, is stored on the CleverReach servers in Germany or Ireland.

Storage duration

Activities of recipients are stored in CleverReach for three to six months. The exact duration depends on the total number of newsletter recipients. In case of a revocation, the data will be deleted. You can find more information about the storage period and about the activities generated by CleverReach under

https://support.cleverreach.de/hc/de/articles/202372941-Wie-lange-speichert-CleverReach-die-Aktivit%C3%A4ten-

Contractual or legal obligation to provide personal data

The provision of personal data is not required by law or contract and is not necessary for the conclusion of a contract. Nor are you otherwise obliged to provide the personal data. However, failure to provide it would mean that we would not be able to offer you a newsletter and would therefore not be able to send it to you.

Possibility of withdrawal

If you do not want to be analysed by CleverReach, you must unsubscribe from the newsletter by clicking on the corresponding link contained in every newsletter e-mail.

The data that you have provided us with for the purpose of subscribing to the newsletter will be stored until you unsubscribe from the newsletter and, if you unsubscribe, will be deleted from our servers as well as from the CleverReach servers. If your data has been stored for any other purpose, such as your e-mail address for registration on our website, it will continue to be stored independently of the newsletter cancellation.

8.1 RA-MICRO SMS

The message to be sent, recipient and sender information are first transmitted from the user’s computer via an encrypted connection (SSL or TLS) to the RA-MICRO Software AG web server (RAM server). This web server is located in a “high-end data centre certified for highest data security and failure safety at the location of the company PlusServer in Germany.

Subsequently, message, recipient and sender information are transmitted via a likewise encrypted connection from the RAM server to the server of our service partner http://www.smskaufen.com. The actual SMS dispatch in the context of RMO SMS is done via http://www.smskaufen.com.

Due to the encryption it is almost impossible that unauthorized third parties can view the data transmitted between the computers and servers. It is therefore very unlikely that anyone other than the sender and the recipient can gain knowledge of the content of the message.

The user is identified as the sender by the RMO access data (user number) transmitted with the message.

The messages themselves are not stored. Only the connection data is stored:

– Time of SMS dispatch

– Sender (user number, customer number, sender name)

– Recipient’s phone number

2. is authorised by Union law or the law of the Member States to which the controller is subject and that law contains appropriate measures to safeguard your rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests; or

3. with your express consent.

However, these decisions may not be based on special categories of personal data according to Article 9(1) GDPR, unless Article 9(2)(a) or (g) GDPR applies and appropriate measures have been taken to protect the rights and freedoms as well as your legitimate interests.

With regard to the cases referred to in a. and c., the data controller shall take reasonable measures to safeguard the rights and freedoms and your legitimate interests, which shall include at least the right to obtain the intervention of a person from the data controller, to express his point of view and to challenge the decision.

Without prejudice to any other administrative or judicial remedy, you have the right to lodge a complaint with a supervisory authority, in particular in the Member State in which you are resident, your place of work or the place of the alleged infringement, if you consider that the processing of your personal data is contrary to the GDPR.

The supervisory authority to which the complaint has been submitted will inform the complainant of the status and the results of the complaint, including the possibility of a judicial remedy under Article 78 GDPR.

13.2 Google AdWords (Google Ads) and Conversion Tracking

Description and purpose

In order to draw attention to our current projects and developments, planned activities and services, we place Google AdWords ads and use Google Conversion Tracking as part of this. Google AdWords (Google Ads) is a service of Google Ireland Limited (“Google”), Gordon House, Barrow Street, Dublin 4, Ireland, Google LLC. (1600 Amphitheatre Parkway Mountain View, CA 94043, USA). These ads are displayed after searches on websites in the Google advertising network. We have the ability to combine our ads with specific search terms. We also use AdWords remarketing lists for search ads. This enables us to adapt search ad campaigns for users who have visited our website before. Through the services, we have the ability to combine our ads with specific search terms or to serve ads to previous visitors, for example, advertising services that visitors have viewed on our site. For interest-based offers, an analysis of online user behaviour is necessary. Google uses cookies to perform this analysis. When clicking on an advertisement or visiting our website, Google sets a cookie on the user’s computer. This information is used in order to be able to address the visitor specifically in a subsequent search query. Further information on the cookie technology used can also be found in Google’s notes on website statistics and in the data protection regulations. With the help of this technology, Google and we as customers receive information that a user has clicked on an advertisement and has been redirected to our websites to contact us via the contact form. Google and we as a customer also use Google’s redirection numbers to obtain information about when a user clicks on one of our phone numbers on the internet and contacts us by phone. The information obtained in this way is used exclusively for statistical evaluation for ad optimization. We do not receive any information that can be used to identify visitors personally. The statistics provided to us by Google include the total number of users who clicked on one of our ads and, if applicable, whether they were redirected to a page on our website that has a conversion tag. These statistics enable us to see which search terms lead to the most frequent clicks on our ads and which ads lead to the user contacting us via the contact form or by phone. With regard to telephone contact by interested parties or customers, the statistics provided by Google include start time, end time, status (missed or received), duration (seconds), area code of the caller, telephone costs and call type.

15. Career (Training & Vacancies)

By submitting their application to us, applicants agree to the processing of their data for the purposes of the application procedure in accordance with the type and scope described in this data protection declaration. Insofar as special categories of personal data within the meaning of Article 9(1) GDPR are voluntarily communicated in the context of the application procedure, their processing is additionally carried out in accordance with Article 9(2)(b) GDPR (e.g. health data, such as severely disabled status or ethnic origin).

Insofar as special categories of personal data within the meaning of Article 9(1) GDPR are requested from applicants in the course of the application procedure, their processing is also carried out in accordance with Article 9(2)(a) GDPR (e.g. health data if this is necessary for the exercise of the profession). If provided, applicants can send us their applications by means of an online form on our website. The data will be encrypted and transmitted to us according to the state of the art. Applicants can also send us their applications by e-mail. Please note, however, that e-mails are generally not sent in encrypted form and applicants must ensure that they are encrypted themselves. We can therefore not take any responsibility for the transmission path of the application between the sender and the receipt on our server and therefore recommend rather to use an online form or the postal dispatch. This is because instead of applying via the online form and e-mail, applicants still have the option of sending us their application by post.

The data provided by the applicants can be processed by us for the purposes of the employment relationship in the event of a successful application. Otherwise, if the application for a job offer is not successful, the applicants’ data will be deleted. The applicants’ data will also be deleted if an application is withdrawn, which the applicants are entitled to do at any time.

Subject to a justified revocation by the applicants, the data will be deleted after a period of six months so that we can answer any follow-up questions regarding the application and meet our obligations to provide evidence under the Equal Treatment Act. Invoices for any travel expense reimbursement will be archived in accordance with tax law requirements.

16. Security

We have taken extensive technical and operational precautions to protect your data from accidental or deliberate manipulation, loss, destruction or access by unauthorized persons. Our security procedures are regularly reviewed and adapted to technological progress. In addition, we guarantee data protection on an ongoing basis by constantly auditing and optimizing our data protection organization.

16.1 DE-Sync

The De-Sync e-mail service provides encryption for file exchange.

The De-Sync Mail service sends and receives encrypted data containers and thus secures the data traffic between sender and recipient device along the entire transport route on the internet by means of a communication password (synchronous encryption) agreed exclusively between the two De-Sync users. From the agreed communication passwords, a 32-character key is generated on the users’ end devices, which is then used to encrypt and decrypt the data on the devices using 256-bit AES.

The password must be entered once on the same calendar day by both users. No one except the two communication partner devices has access to the keys, not even RMO. Therefore, De-Sync explicitly does not cache and decrypt data for the purpose of checking for viruses or similar, as is sometimes the case with other systems.

Within the scope of the De-Sync service, the storage of the data containers to be transferred and collected is required on a De-Sync server. These are kept for a maximum of 10 days for retrieval and are deleted from the server after retrieval by the user’s terminal device or by time lapse and are not stored further.

The De-Sync server is operated in a data centre in Germany and administered by De-Sync itself; the allocation of the data stored at De-Sync is solely based on the data collected during the registration at RA-MICRO Online (RMO). The authentication of authorized users is based on the respective, internal RMO data. The verification is realized via a web service that is implemented on the RMO web server. There is no further storage of personal data. Due to the nature of the De-Sync service, all user data is stored on the De-Sync server exclusively in encrypted form. Since the passwords for the encryption of the data are unknown to De-Sync due to the system, a decryption of the data on the De-Sync server is practically impossible. Furthermore, the login and data transfer from and to the De-Sync service and from and to the RMO server is SSL/TLS encrypted. The RMO server as well as the De-Sync server is operated in a data centre in Germany. The ISO 27001 certified information security management system of the provider guarantees data security and a perfect compliance with data protection. This includes availability, confidentiality, integrity, authenticity and physical protection of data. On the De-Sync server, no independent processing of the stored data by De-Sync takes place. They are only kept there for the retrieval of users authenticated and authorized by RMO.
